jective in many sections of the country. Since the existence of the private school is guaranteed by law, all private educational institutions are to be forced out of existence through being compelled to satisfy unreasonable standards. A disturb ing prospect to say the least, main- 1y because there are other extreme advocates who hold that education should be the chief instrument in the building of the new social order, and that ill order to be able to pro- secute the program satisfactorily all departments of the State should be suhDrdinate to education. It sounds like a pipe dream, but there are facts and figures to prove that the proposals cited have been made. With the State as the be-all and the end-all of mans existence, how easy 1t would be, because of the traditional American willingness to yield power to any agency that guarantees material welfare, to &C., cert the teachings of those who counsel the creation of a supreme political bower. The spiritual pov- erty of our age, reduced to a still more degraded state by the destruc- tive teachings of some unprincipled educators, makes it possible for our people to surrender their very free- dom to any government which will bring order out of economic chaos. A scholarly Jesuit Father who has passed to his reward put it very well when he summed up modern trends in their possible import by saying; He Who Controls Education Possesses the Soul of the Nation"

 Professor F. F. Harmon was in charge of the musical program with solos being offered by Mrs. Thomas Carroll and Daniel Sweeney.
 A. handsome mantle clock, pro- duct of Waterbury, was presented to pr. Crowley by MT.

YMCA camp committee members today asserted the use of copper sul- phate in the camp pond at Water town was approved by the state health office.
 Their assertion followed letter of protest to the local newspapers from Charles Yurkunas, of Watertown, to the effect that the YMCA camp vii plated a state law by dumping the chemical in the waters of the pond.
