5O-Year Emblem
Chance Conversation
Here Brings Recog-
milton to Veteran
Railroader.

Conductor Bob" Jewell, Robert
L. Jewell Of 101 Spring street,
Hartford pleasantly recalled the
old days Of link-and-pin coupling,
oil lamps, and bell ropes, when he
was called to the superintendent
office In Hartford Monday noon to
receive the "New Haven" Rail-
roads diamond emblem for his
completion Of SO years of continue
Gus service. Actually Mr.. Jewell
should have received the award
six months ago, but because Of re-
cords lost In fire In Boston years
ago, he might not have 1t even
now had 1t not been for j. Frank
Doolan, operating assistant Of the
company at New Haven.
Conductor Jewell met Mr.. Doo-
Ian In Waterbury several weeks
ago and during their chat asked
Mr.. Jewell why he wasn't wear
ing his 50-year emblem. This re-
suited In a checkup of musty re-
cords in Connecticut and in Bos-
ton, and Monday w. L. Brooks.
superintendent of the Hartford
Division, bestowed the emblem on
Mr.. JEWELS lapel.
It was on May 10, 1888, that
Jewell started his railroading, his
first Job being as a mail messen-
ger and sorter for the old New York
& New England Railroad at Bos-
ton. Subsequently he covered all
sorts Of jobs about the Boston ter
minal, including Waterman, gate
man, assistant baggageman, and
trainman. In fact, he came to be
regarded as an all-around Handy
Andy substituting for SWITCH
men, trainmen or any other en-
ploye who took a day off.
In 1898, when the Old Colony
Railroad was leased to the New
Haven" he was transferred to Wa
terbury on the so-called High
land" roster, and is now number
one man on that roster. which in
cludes two other 50-year conduc-
tors, John Lynch and William Cal
lahan.
For many years Jewell ran on
the Rockville branch, where he
commented Monday, he expected
to die on that job" But transpor-
tation revolution decreed other
wise. The Rockville branch dried
up and Conductor Jewell bid in on
other jobs. He Is very favorably
known in Waterbury, Bristol and
New Britain. as well as IN Hart
ford. and now has charge Of trains
l57 and 472. making the round
trip daily between Hartford and
Bridgeport.

Love to Teach
BY
WILLIAM LYONS PHELPS

do not know that I could make
1t entirely clear to an outsider
the pleasure I have in teaching.
I had rather earn my living by
teaching than in any other way.
In my mind, teaching Is not merely
a lifework, a profession, an occu-
patton, a struggle; 1t is a passion.
I love to teach. I love to teach as
a painter loves to paint, as musi-
clan loves to play, as singer
loves to sing, as strong man re-
joices to run race. Teaching is
an art - an art so great and SO
difficult to master that man or
woman can spend a life at 1t, with
out realizing much more than
his limitations and mistakes and
his distances from the ideal. There
never has been in the worlds his
tory a period when It was more
worthwhile to be teacher than
in the twentieth century; for there
was never an age when such vast
multitudes were eager for an edu-
cation or when the necessity of a
liberal education was SO generally
recognized.

The WPA Toy Lending Library,
inaugurated in this city eighteen
months ago has grown from a small
outfit handled by a personnel of
three to an active unit with sew
eral branches and a personnel Of
twenty-five. Mrs. r. F. Scott of this
city is the local director. The orig
inal headquarters are still in use at
the Mulcahy school where the or
ganization originally had two dis
play rooms. Today they have the
entire top floor OF Mulcahy school
and operate as well the following
SIX centers: Brooklyn Y. M. G. A.,
North End Y. M. G. A., Baldwin
street fire house, Burton street fire
house, Our Lady of Lourdes parish
house, and Christ Chapel.
The Toy Lending library now
loans between 300 and 400 toys e
week. All toys are thoroughly
sterilized, dolls washed, and
clothes freshly laundered be-
fore they are loaned to another
child in order to prevent any dan
ger from infection or contagion. In
certain sections of the city there
are, as yet, no centers due to the
lack of sufficient number of toys.
There is at the present time a great
need for more toy contributions
with Christmas coming. The library
supplies toys to the Red Cross, an
swers all Santa Claus" letters ar
irving at the local postofice with
gift Of toys as far as possible. Right
now the library needs to replenish
its stock because of growing men,
bership. Those interested in the
project and who are wedding out
old, but not useless, toys in antici-
patton Of accumlating a new supply
at Christmas, are urged to send
games, books, puzzles and toys Of all
kinds to the library. Dolls are the best
lending numbers so those who are
ready to dispose Of last years dolls
are asked to remember the Toy
Lending library. A repair depart
ment Is QUILTED to mend dolls so
that they look like new, and new
clothes are made in the sewing
room. Contributions will be CRATE
fully received at the Mulcahy
school, or telephone 1855 and they
will be called for.

DR.. Condor Endorses
Educational Program
Superintendent of Schools Issues Statement on I'm
pOrtance of Institutions of Learning in Community

Superintendent Of School Thoma!
j. Condor, in a statement endorsing
National Education Week, today OBJ
serves that the school connot sci
itsef on an academic hill.
Reviewing the role of the schoo
in the life of the community, the
superintendent concludes that the
school is an integral part Of society
itself - society in the making.
DR.. Condon's statement is one o.
many being made by principals
teachers, and members of the Boarc
of Education as Waterbury observes
education week with speeches anc
varied programs in each department
of the grammar and high schools
Plays, recitals, group singing, anc
classes-at-work, are among the
failures that parents and relatives
of school children are attending
during the week.
DR.. Condon's statement follows:
To the general public, educa-
ton Is thought of merely as a
transmission of knowledge. In
reality 1t Is a far greater force.
1t Is a function which embraces
influences and experiences far too
subtle for logical expression and
exact measurement. 1t embraces
qualities too intangible for de-
Scription but Just as indispensable
to civilization as knowledge itself
Is indispensable.
In this city of Waterbury
teachers are in hourly contact
with children of all races and ma
tionalities, religions and rationale
ties, religions and ethical back
grounds. From homes of every
kind those broken by disputes of
parents; those wracked by uncer-
tainties and distresses OF poverty
and unemployment; as we'll as
those from homes tranquil in spirit
and supplied with means for ma
terial we'll being-come Water
bury's children to be educated in
the American Way of Living.
The school cannot set itself
apart on an academic hill. 1t Is
in integral part of society itself. It
Is society in the making.
Through this broad contact with
American civilization, the teach
ers of Waterbury are more con-
stantly and more closely asso-
ciated with the real condition Of
Waterbury society than is any
other profession, public or pri-
vate.
In the school, the teacher does
more than transmit knowledge.
weaves the texture Of knowledge
plus habit, attitude, aspiration, and
mutual respect which helps to sus-
tain humanity itself.
Education Is concerned with the
whole of life and the best of It.
The general public has duty
toward educating our children in
the American way of life. This
duty can be fulfilled by wider CO.
operation with the education de-
partment, by warmer sympathy
toward the aims of education in
Waterbury--and by a desire to
improve and enrich the daily as
ISOLATION with Waterbury's child
hood.
