in other city elections because
to-day there is agreement in
principle"

City Council from 1857 to 1860,

For Widespread Tutoring

that tutors in that area report
they are booked solid"
Parents are told that while
each tutor "can handle about
three students comfortably"
many children are forced to go
without their outside help be-
cause the tutors haven't the
time to give them, Coyle said.
'If this is true, and each
qualified tutor for B.CC stu
dents is handling three young
sters apiece, you come up with
about APO students in that one
school getting outside help to
make passing grades" Coyle
said. q" That's. about one in
every five of B-CCs students"
Most parents in the high
socio-economic strata of down
county communities are hesi-
tant to blame their youngsters
grades on mental deficiency or
slow learning ability, Coyle
said.
He added that a number Of
them have gone so far as to
have their children's abilities
tested privately - "and learned
there's nothing wrong with
them"

Conversations With Parents
Coyle said his conversations
with both parents and tutors
indicate the widespread tutor
ing demands have stemmed
from shortcomings in the pres
ent basic teaching techniques
in the high schools.
Parents tell me their chill
dren are just being exposed to
subjects in the classroom
given their textbooks and told
TO get what they can out of
them"
He said the fact that "chiI-
dren are taught the same sub
ject differently on either sides
of the hall" and the broad dis
cretion afforded teachers in
how they present their subjects
are complicating factors.
Tutors, Coyle said, say the
problem goes back to the ele-
mentsry grades, where, they
say, many Of the county's
youngsters have not been prop
erly schooled in basic courses
such as reading and math.
Whatever the reasons" he
added, plenty OF parents are
up in arms over the fact their
kids are not getting enough out
OF their classes"
Coyle said that, IL elected to
the School Board, he will give
these parents their day in
court"

Struggling Of Sister

BOSTON. Dec. 8 (AP).-The
l4-year-old brother of Mar
garet Cadigan, II, tonight was
accused by state police Of slay-
ing HIS sister in their Winthrop
home last night.
State Police Capt. Michael
Cullinane said Thomas Cadigan
confessed after he flunkcd a
voluntary lie detector test in
State police headquarters.
Capt. CuIlinane said Thomas
told of an argument with his
sister over choice Of a radio
program.
During the argument, Capt.
Cullinane said, Thomas knocked
his sister unconscious with a
punch as they scuffled in her
bedroom.
AS she lay on the floor, the
boy cut her neck with a kitchen
knife which he found nearby,
then tied a pair Of pajama bot
toms around her neck, Capt.
Cullinane said.
An autopsy showed Margaret
died OF strangulation.
Thomas was booked as "a de-
linQuent child by reason OF
murder"
The youth was composed
while debating his statement,

into tears when his father,
John Cadigan, embraced him.

Man Found Dead
Several days after Miss Sui

found dead in the bathtub of
his apartment a block from
her home. A silk stocking was
tied tightly about his neck.
At first it was believed to
have been murder, but a medi-

suicide.
When the rash of strangula-
tons ceased after the mans
death some Investigator S
leaned to the theory he was the
mad stranger. This has never
been proven or disproven.
Five of the first six cases
bore many similarities in addi-
ton to the age of the victims
and the fact that they lived
alone.
In each instance there was
no sign of forced entry of the
women's apartments, indicating
the slayer gained his victims

them. All were brutally at
