official weight upon the minds of our 
law makers than the suggestions of 
some of our so-called social reform- 
ers. A scientific study is being made 
of the questions and when that mea- 
sure comes up in any form in the

THe THROTTLING oF EDUCATION 
Massachusetts has always boasted 
of her educational opportunities, and 
the people of the State realize that 
her supremacy lies in her skilled 
business and _ prcefessional 
men of all types. Anything, therefore, 
tending to increase the ability, intel- 
lect and productive capacity of her 
citizens has been encouraged to the 
greatest extent, until Massachusetts 
schools have become a standard. 
The schools and colleges of all types 
have been established at different 
points in the state, and, because of our 
inter-locking and fine system of trans- 
portation and _ reasonable railroad 
rates, these schools have been avail- 
able to pupils from a large territory. 
Just as this system is reaching a 
most perfect state, like a bolt from the 
clear skies, an edict is issued by our 
great railroad corporations cutting off 
or restricting student’s tickets, there- 
by increasing tremendously the cost 
to families and individuals who can 
least afford the expenditure. To throt- 
tle the schools of Massachusetts is 
killing the goose that lays the golden 
egg, and the citizens of the state are 
rising in arms and insisting that the 
railroad rates be so adjusted as to 
make attendance at these schools pos- 
sible for the tens of thousands who 
availing 
No favoritism or discrimination is 
It is simply that the rates 
which have exisited in past years be 
restored, made uniform and generally 
applied to all the steam roads of the 
state. That this demand is reasonable 
is insisted upon by every well-inform- 
ed person, not only as a great conserv- 
ing force, but a legitimate business de- 
~ mand. 
Woodrow Wilson is a good politi- 
cian. He is now trying to make the 
_ people think that he and Wall street 
are not on good terms. This is of 
course quite necessary, as it would 
hardly do to have him known as the 
“president of the interests.” It is not 
an easy task to make a reputation, 
but the president-elect is starting his 
pre-administration speeches in the 
right way by showing the people that 
it is his earnest and sincere desire to 
represent the whole people. 
Australia offers a bonus of $25 per 
baby to increase its population, while 
new South Wales adds free nursing 
and medical attendance. Evidently 
Roosevelt has been getting in some 
work in these districts. 
Although the Titanic widows have 
filed claims against the White Star 
company for $10,000,000 the lawyers 
representing the company will prob- 
ably take a very unsentimental view 
of the whole disaster. 
The water-front reporters on city 
papers along the Atlantic coast have 
been at a loss for verbs to describe the 
arrival of ships during the recent per- 
iod of bad weather. They might call

To Urce Construction oF NEW 
Way To SmitrnH’s Point 
In order to bring it before the vot- 
ers directly a movement is now on 
foot to have an article inserted in the 
Town Warrant for the annual town 
meeting in March, for a new street 
to Smith’s Point, Manchester. A peti- 
tion has been placed at the Manches- 
ter Trust Co., for signatures, which 
reads as follows: 
“To the Selectmen, 
Town of Manchester, Mass. 
“Gentlemen: The undersigned real 
estate tax payers in the town of Man- 
chester, Mass., respectfully offer for 
your favorable consideration, the fol- 
lowing request, namely :— 
“What action will the Town take 
in the matter of laying out a public 
highway over land of Mr. G. R. White 
and heirs of the estate of A. A. Smith, 
between Beach and Proctor streets, 
Manchester, Mass., and making prop- 
er appropriation therefore?” 
All real estate tax payers who fav- 
or settlement of this troublesome 
Proctor street problem as suggested 
above, are requested to call immediate- 
ly at the Manchester Trust Co. and 
sign the petition. If unable to do this 
mail a letter to the Trust Company 
before Feb. 8th, 1913, signed by the 
person to whom the property is taxed, 
for filing purposes with said petition. 
Editor of the Breeze :— 
There are two more reasons, it 
seems to the writer, why this Proctor 
street, (Manchester), problem should 
receive serious consideration. 
All know there are hundreds of 
thousands of dollars worth of property 
on the Point. In the event of a fire, 
just stop and think what the new road 
would mean, in the saving of time and 
money. 
Again, supposing you decide to 
widen Proctor street, you must not 
only pay for land, but will have to re- 
build this worn out street, the danger- 
ous portion of which could just as 
well be closed up. Back Bay.
