The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-06
Derelicts Of The Storm

Judging by some of the remarks made at the Board of Education meeting Mon- day Waterbury has great many teachers in our public schools who are fit subjects for hospitals, sanitariums, rest-homeS, etc. There seemed to be a concerted move on the part of some of the commissioners to point out that physical frailties have crept into the teaching ranks to such an extent that efficient service is no longer being rem dered the city and the pupils one hun dred per cent. We fail to agree with any such conclusion as this.
 There may be individual instances where a teacher is handicapped by some physl- cal infirmity, but if that is the case 1t is up to his or her superiors to take the proper action so that this handicap may be overcome. In the case of one that absolutely prevents the rendering of ef- ficient service in the classroom, retire ment is usually in order and thus far we think such state of affairs has existed locally. That our teaching ranks are loaded with non-competents due to their physical conditions will hardly gain much public credence.
 In most instances it is agreed that local teachers are hard-Working, interested public servants. They are no different than the men and women in other pro- fGSsionS and consequently are subject to the same bodily ills. The ranks of the teaching profession do not become har- binger for those who suffer from major and minor ailments. To cope with the mod ern boy and girl, particularly those of high school age, requires today intelli- gence, just restraint, strong will, wise counsel, and amazing vitality. We often wonder that more teachers are not ren- dered hors-de-combat by their daily en- deavors to instruct the modern youth
 Maybe the new order of things does re- quire a high type of physical fitness in the school-room. But we think that our School Board commissioners do many, if pot all of the local teachers an injustice when they start talking about putting them through physical examinations every few years.

Dr. Karl Muck

The wave of wartime hySteria which removed Dr. Karl Muck from the podium of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in World War days did not make him any less of musician. Dr. Muck, who died the other day in Stuttgart in his eighty first year, was regarded as the outStand- ing Wagnerian conductor of his day. Of aloof and stern mien he was wholly ab- sorbed in his interpretation of whatever work he was conducting. Always re- served and self-effacing he was regarded as one of the great conductors of his day in all the high ranking music centers of the world.
 Dr. Muck twice served as conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and he was active in the Bayreuth Music Festi- vals in Germany. It was during his last service with the Boston Symphony that he experienced unpleasantneSS in this country, which terminated his career here. Charged with espionage during the war he was interned at Fort Oglethorpe, no doubt a humiliating experience. Among the charges was the one that he refused to play "The Star-Spangled Ban- ner at concert in Providence, but it was later said by the orcheStra's founder that Muck knew nothing of the request for the national anthem. All this made for much unpleasantness for him and the orchestra that he admirably conducted for eight seasons.
 Looking back over the years and with a clearer idea of how diStorting war propaganda can be, many have more tolerant feeling toward this man who was a serious musician and a great conduc- tor, and as the New York Times writes editorially, "He was not only musician of broad sympathies and profound learn ing, but scholar in other fields as we'll"

bered books are likely to be the Middle Border triology, which were in order, "A Son of the Middle Border" "A Daughter of the Middle Border" and "Trailmakers of the Middle Border" These alone iden- tified him as an important figure in American literature.
 He was one of the earliest realistS in a manner of speaking. His boyhood exper- fence in the various localities in which he lived offered good material for much of his writings, but while his days were spent among many grim surroundings his heart was in the more classical back ground of the east His publications through the years were pretty constant, and since he wrote diary from the year 1890 on his impressions of the literary and other figures of the day presented fairly accurate picture of the people and events about which he wrote. His was busy life in his chosen profession and he was honest and direct in his presentation of pioneer life in the middle west.

with the exception of course of few intelligent souls like yourself, fall into line like lot of sheep. "Docility" is the word you were groping for in your letter, but stup' idity was the word implied.
 To eliminate useless controversy, may I inquire If you nave read "The Church and the Social Order" the Episcopal letter to the American Hierarchy, addressed to the Clergy and Laity of the Catholic Church in America? It is their official inter- pretation of the Encyclicals of Leo XIII, Plus XI. If you haven't read this historic document, you are due for rude awakening. Ifyou have read it, then say you do not want to understand 1t, your letter Indicates that, therefore in all honesty to yourself and to the public, stop call- ing yourself Catholic. You are neither HOT nor COLD.
 disturb Father Coughlin's mind arc well founded? The Bishops seem to think so. Are these suspicious ai- layed by the pictures of the march, ing youth of Russia. Germany, and Italy, emblazoned in the public press? And since the preservation of the family is one which falls di- rectly under the supervision of any Catholic Priest, in what way do the Cardinals and Archbisllops overstep their rights when they appeal to the Catholics of America, both Clergy and Laity to oppose with all their might any movement which threat ems the integrity of family life?
 Whether you know 1t or not. poli- tics is philosophy in action. When that. philosophy is wrong, the Bishops and Priests or the Church must protest. That is their duty, not merely their privilege. Of course when they protest in a real Totali. tarian State, the Government pun- ishes them. When they protest in Waterbury, "Cipriano the Wise Guy takes care of them, by dragging out ln public print, every mean and eontemptihle slur which peTchance hurt them, And all this ln the name of the freedom of the tortured CathS ollcs who are writhlng under the tyranny of their Bishops and the Capabilities,

But It Was Loaded

A British steamer, plying the Chinese coast off Chefoo, was damaged when 8 Japanese warship fired shell at it. It was all mistake, said the Japanese. They just wanted to fire blank warning shot across the bow, and they didn't know their cannon was loaded. No one was hurt, and the Japanese said they would be glad to pay indemnities.
 What are you going to do with people like that? They might blow off dozen heads and say, simply Beg your pardon all mistake. No harm done. We'll try not to let it happen again." And just to prove that they mean it, a handful of army officers will commit hari kari How can one say, Don't kid us - we know you meant it all the time," and still pre- serve all the niceties of international diplomacy?

It takes more than a few say-sos down in Westchester County of New York State for a community to graduate into the class of a full-fledged city. This has recently been demonstrated with re- fusal by the Westchester County Board of Supervisors to endorse legislative act validating Peekskill's new city charter. Peekskill has been having considerable trouble getting recognized as a city (17,- 900 population, 1880 census). It had fine new city charter drawn up that was supposed to go into effect on January 1,
 but technicality caused it to be ruled imperative. The Legislature was asked to validate the charter by special act, but the members wouldn't do this until the county supervisors endorsed the char ter. And they won't do this because they don't like all it's terms. So it looks as if Peekskill would have to remain town

Hamlin Garland

Hamlin Garland was generally referred to as the dean of American Letters. His life was colorful one from the time he left his midwest environment to absorb the more classical atmosphere of the east in Boston, where he studied and gave lectures. Though the son of home. steaders and writer of pioneer novels of the country of his youth he became a distinguished man of letters who could do more than write western story. Gar. land died at the age of Seyenty'nine early this week.
 A dirt-farmer author he turned out many novels but his best writing was demonstrated In his biographical writ. lngs Garland wrote much Of Ehe life in tho prairie regions and hIS best Temenl'

As first revealed by The Wash ington Merry Go-Round (January 12 and 20, the Internal Revenue Bureau for some time has been quietly probing the famous Hoosier Democratic ("TwO Per Cent') Club, and the tax returns of sev- eral top-flight Indiana Democra- tic chieftains. including McNutt. This investigation is still unfin- ished, but some reports have been received by Treasury executives.
 The big question being excitedly discussed in inner Washington circles is whether the converting of the federal grand jury means

For a good many years efforts have been made to provide franking privileges to all widows of deceased Presidents of the U. s. A. A bill has just passed the House and been sent to the Senate grant ing this right. It probably will be passed. But of more interest to this writer than this news was the fact that there are still living six widows of Presidents. They are Mrs. Grace G. Coolidge, Mrs. Francis F. Cleveland Preston, Mrs. Mary Lord liar rison, Mrs. Edith Carow Roosevelt, Mrs Edith Boiling Wilson, and Mrs. Helen H, Taft. Only one eX-president still lives - Herbert Hoover. Which proves that life in the White House is harder on the male than the female.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-06

It is interesting to note, too that widows of two ex-presidents-McKinley and Harding - died within compara- lively short time after their husbands, although, to be truthful, Mrs. Mckinley did not die until 1907, which was six years after McKinley's assassination. Mrs. Warren G. Harding died one year later than her husbands death in 1923 Presi- dents Harrison, Roosevelt (Theodore), |, and Wilson were married twice, their first wives, in each instance, dying
