until it has been proven on small CT scale, the 10th New England Health Institute was told last night by Dr. wilson G. Smillie of Cornell University Medical College.
 "A national health program" he said, "is sure to come. On that everyone seems agreed, but there still remains one or two minor dif- ferences of opinion" A general sick ness insurance plan, he said, needed "to be tried out in various localities with gradual adjustments before it could be applied nationally"
 pr. A. M. Creadick, Yale, said there was need of more hospitals to train young doctors in the field of obstetrics. General hospitals, he said should assign the obstetrical Serv- ice to one or two members of their staff, insist that those men receive postgraduate training in obstetrics and then make them responsible for the conduct of obstetrics in the hos pital."

 BY COURT ORDER
Parents Lose Custody of Six Children for Negli=
 gence in Baby's Death

A 14-months' child died of rat bites, anemia and malnutrition last February, and today her parents stood convicted of negligence and deprived of their remaining six children.
 MT. and Mrs. Robert White, par ents of the child, Shirley, who died at the Waterbury hospital Feb IA, were found guilty in WatertoWn town court yesterday, given sus- pended 30-day jail sentences, and placed on probation for one year.
 Justice Guertln Carmody then turned their six remaining children to various agencies-three to the supervision of the commissioner of the state bureau of child welfare, two to county homes, and one to the custody of the town selectman.
 No defense was offered by the convicted parents, except regrets at the situation. They entered tech nical plea of not guilty. State Trooper Edwin Peguignot, of the Canaan state police barracks, testi- fled for Pros. John T. Miller, ST.
 The case achieved notoriety last month, when Coroner Lester w. Schaefer, of Winsted, found the couple guilty of neglecting to care for the infant. He did not hold them criminally responsible, however.

the district returns thoroughly, mak- ing sample surveys in the district himself to make certain of thor oughness and accuracy. The leader then submits the final district re- turns to census headquarters.
 In addition to this. the local newspapers will be asked to print coupons for the convenience of those who believe they have been missed in the census. The coupons are to be filled out and mailed, and then will be checked against the official returns. Anyone who has been missed will then be visited by an enumerator.
 A five-day period will be allowed for any complaints of omissions, and then an enumeration of the totals will be made. A preliminary estimate of the city's population, which should prove to be highly accurate, will then be announced.
 EnumeratorS are completing work on their districts daily, about 25 districts having already been finish ed. The returns on these districts are now being checked.
 last night enumerators visited the Grotto circus at the armory. Three persons were found who had no permanent residence, and, under census rules, they were listed as WaterburianS.

BOARD AWAITS
 LEGAL OPINION
Corporation Counsel Is Asked to Rule on Waiting
 List-Kearney Protests

Commissioner John Kearney charged last night that the Board of Education was getting the run around" by joint committee which has so far failed to bring in a sys- tenn for appointments to high school faculties, although the committee was appointed weeks ago.
 Asked why no report was forth coming, Commissioners Thomas Ashton and Dr. Francis P. Barnes told MT. Kearney that the matter was before the Corporation Counsel for an opinion on its legality.
 What d'ya mean legality? What legality? Whats the point of this legality business? It seems to me we're getting run-around," sput- tered MT. Kearney.
 It was explained to MT. Kearney that the legal question revolved around whether or not waiting list system, based on priority, could be adopted, without going over the head of the school superintendent.
 "How about the grammar school system?" MT. Kearney asked. If we can have waiting list system for the grammar schools, why can't We have it for the high schools?"
 No answer was given to this ques- ton, although one commissioner suggested that perhaps the board has acted illegally in the past by making grammar school appoint ments from strict priority waiting list.
 After considerable discussion, it was voted, on motion of Commis- sioner Harold Parkinson, to have Dr. Thomas J. Conson, superintend- ent of schools, make up list of ap- plicants to the high school faculties. The point was stressed that this list would have no bearing on the method of appointing eventually adopted, but wodld serve merely to show the commissioners who the applicants are.
 It was also voted to have the joint teachers-rules committee confer with the corporation counsel this week in order to prepare a system.

 He twas one of Gods chosen few. We all knew his goodness And his parting caused us pain But if the cloud bursts meant his
 happiness, Then I'm thankful for the rain. Did the Heavens weep with joy? As we wept in tears of sorrow? An! No one can ever take his place Tomorrow, or tomorrow. An! yes if that old saying be true, Heaven surely proclaimed He is one," of the chosen few.

 Charles T. Burke and Eva L. Parker joined in paying tribute to- day to the memory of the beloved rector. MT. Burke refers to Shake speare in voicing his sentiments, while Eva L. Parker appends her name to a poetical composition.
 MT. Burke's tribute follows:
 It was a great shock to me to hear of the passing of the Rev. Dr John N. Lewis. Only a few days be- fore, I had spoken to him on Leav- enworth street, and he appeared to be all right. had known Dr. Lewis since 1906. He was a good friend of mine and a great man great because he was a good man and a christian gentleman as all citizens could testify. Dr. Lewis served his church and the city of Waterbury with fidelity and honor his place as rector of St. Johns will be hard to fill, and he will be long remembered by the citizens of Wa terbury and the people of the sur- rounding country towns and vil- lages. I have often passed the doc tor and his pet the little Scotch dog and the picture always pleased me more than anything else that l could see. This is from Shake speare:
 "His life was gentle, and the ele- ments SO mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, this was a man."
