NORTHEND SCHOOL Mayor Quigley Elected President of Pareats and Teachers Association. Success marked the banquet of the Parents' and Teachers' aasociation of \he Northend school last night. Ad- ! dresses were made to the parents and teachers by Mayor George A, Quig- ley, Superintendent of the Schools Stanley H. Holmes and Dr. Henry F. Strolls, of Hartford, which proved to Le instructive as well as interesting. Officers were elected for the ensuing vear, Mayor Quigley being chosen as president. The entertainment was excellent and the audience heartily appreciated Lhe efforts of those furnishing the program, and showed their apprecia- tion by roundly applauding the indi- vidual artists., The menu for the banqueet was very appetizing, being irnished by the Broadway restau- rant. President E, M. Pratt of the as- socintion was the toastmaster. E. M. Pratt Toastmaster. W. T. O'Brien, vice president of the Parents’ and Teachers' association of the school, introduced President Ed- wward M. Pratt of the association as toastmaster of the evening. Mr. Pratt made a short speech, thanking the purents for their large attendance nd interest in the school. He went on to tell the purpose of the or- =ganization, showing that it proved to be the missing link between the home @wnd the school. Mr. Pratt intro- duced Mayor George A. Quigley as the first speaker of the evening, as a man who is the product or the local schools and one who has been suc- fyl both in business and political Mayor Quigley Speaks. Mayor Quigley opemed his remarks by facetiously saying that he always liked the schoo! teachers, in fact he liked them to such an extent that he married one. He said that at present he is a strong heliever in the Parents’ and Teachers’ association, but con- Tegsed that his beliefs were to the contrary when he was a boy. He be- Heved that it was for the best then that the parents and teachers did not e e, “TiZ” GLADDENS SORE, TIRED FEET No Puffed-up, Burning, Tender Swealy Feet.—No Corns or Callouses. “T1Z”, makes sore. burning, tired feet fairly dance with delight.

SALTS IS FINE FOR KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT Flush the Kidneys at once‘ when Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers— Mecat Forms Uric Acid. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by mushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid- ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly al! rheumatism, head- aches, liver tronble, nervousness, censtipation, dizzivess, sleeplessness pladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys, The moment you feel a dull ache ihe Kidneys or your back hurts, or If the urine is cloudy, ofienzive, full of sediment, irregular of passage oy attended by a sensation <t scaldiag, get about four ounces of Jad Salts _from any reliable pharmacy and take 2 tablespoonful in a glass of water pefore breakfast for a few days and ygar kidneys will thon act fine.

The Parents and Te association is very essential tods said. In former years such an ciation was not needed, pecause Yankee schoolmaster who taught then, made it a point to visit the respective parents of his pupils, frequently living in the different homes of the parents. Today, because of the large number of pupils and the change of conditions the association is must beneflcial for the welfare of the children. At this time when such meetings are held, the parents and teachers discuss the traits of the child and suggestions are made by each which are for its good. Mayor Quigley closed his remarks wishing a successful vear to the as sociation ‘and that it gave him a great deal of pleasure in addressing it. Supt, S. H. Holmes Speaks. Superintendane Stanley H. Holmes of the public schools was introduced by Toastmaster Pratt as the man who made New Britain prominent be- cause of the educational advance- ment made in this city. In opening his address, Mr. Holmes said that he could not have done all that Mr. Pratt in introducing him had said, unless this city “had a school board which is a school board,” as it has today, He told how during his th ty vears of experience in schools in several states, including Maine and Massachusetts, he never knew of any city where there was such a fine school spirit, where the people sup- ported and took such an interest in the schools, where there was such a fine equipment and schools, and where there was such a capable- School board as New Britain is fortunate in having. He'said that he was throw- ing no bouquets at the school board nor had he an eye for the' future when he said that this city has a very e cient one. ociation Acts As Balance Wheels. When intelligent people of other ¢ s expect to move into a strange piace the first thing they do, he said, is to look about and see if there are good schools in the city where they are about to move, to see if these schools are well supported, if they are we!ll housed and if the city possessee such things which will be for the benefit of the child. He related how the Parents’ und "Teachers’ associa- tion not only acts as a missing link between the home and the school, but that it also acts as a balance wheel, keeping the parents informed of what is taking place at the schools. Up-to-date Teaching Methods, As representing the schools, Su- perintendent Holmes told, that the school is endeavoring to do the best it can for the welfare of the pupils— the future citizens—by having as good equipment as can be secured for the schools, as gooed grounds and as good teachers as can be obtained. The course of study now given to the pupils is up to date .and looking towards their future. The vocational and prevocational schools are doing this, he $aid, by giving the youth ap- propriate and fitting education which best fits it. He closed his remarks by congrat- ulating tae association for its suc- cess, saying that this success can easily be accounted for-because -the resi- dents of that district are so nelgh- borly.. He said that the Northend school had a warm place in his heart because his son had commenced his education at this school. Dr. H, F. Strolls Speaks.’ Dr. Henry F. Strolls of Hartford, upon being introduced by Mr. Pratt, jocularly remarked how . he learns something new almost every tme that he comes to this city, What he learned this time, he said, was that the North- end school was situated in the south- ern part of the city. This he ex- plained accounted. for'’his lateness, as he had hunted about an hour and a half in the northern part of the city for the Northend school when, upon inquiry, he learned to his sur- prise that the Northend schocl was situated in the southern part of the city. Fresh Air Essential. Dr, Strolls spoke on ‘“The Child at Home and at School.” Impressions he had gained from his extensive study of the child showed him that in order to have a healthy child it must have good nourishing food, plenty of fresh air and sufficient e ercise, A wrong impression is preva- lent that night air is injurious to the child, he said, and that malaria re- sulted if the child breathed in this ajr. Eminent physicians have proved | beyond a shadow of doubt that this is a false theory, and in order to have a healthy, fresh looking child, plenty of sleep and above all plenty of fresh air, both in winter and summer, were most essential. Ventilating System Necessary. The open air school was one of the best developments of the present day. Children, who are not healthful, are sent to this school and after remaining here under the best of care gen- erally recuperate, he said. The ven- tilating system is very essential to the health of the children in school rooms and in order to get the best the child can give, the teachers should sce that the windows are always open allowing the room to have plenty of fresh air. Dr. Strolls closed his re- marks by saying that the cndeavor to get efficiency from a child in a closed room, which i tuffy because of the lack of fresh air, is like try- ing to make an eagle fly with its wings tled. Officers Elected. A business meeting followed, Miss Anna McGill the secretary read the minutes which were accepted and placed on file. Charles Andrews, treasurer of the association gave his annual report which was very grati- fying and showed the association to be in good financial condition with a bhalance of $22.87 on hand up to date. The report was accepted. The nominating committee consist- ing of Miss Lillian Berg. principal of the schoo!, Mr. Carrier, J. Anderson, Mrs. Boyington and Gustave Anderson presented the following officers for the ensuing year which were accepted: President, Mayor George A. Quig- ley. Vice-president, Idward M.

Miss Kathleen Walsh rendered soprano solos, “When You Come Home” and “Daddy” in a very capably manner. he was ably as- sisted by her sister, Miss Mary, who presided at the piano. The Arpi quartet proved to be most popular. They were compelled to respond to no less than four encores. The sing- | ing of “Annie Laurie” by them w: especially good. Miss Ostlund and Mr. Segerberg, gave several violin and | piano solos which were heartily ap- | preciated. Charles Stone, the local elocutionist, recited “The College Oil Can" and “The Obstructed Hat in a Pit” which were well delivered. The success of the affair reflects much credit upon the principal, Miss Lillian Berg and the teachers of the school, and also the committee which had charge of the affair. : SULTAN SURE TURKS WILL DEFEAT ALLIES Dardanciles Cannot B¢ Forced, Declares Mchmed V. Constantinople, April 7, via The Hague and Londen, April 7, 10:20 p. m.—"I am convinced that the Dar- | danelles cannot be forced. The | brave conduct of the Turkish troops in the recent operations against the ! straits permits me to conclude that although the allies bend every effort and use every means at their disposal | they will be unable to achieve their purpose."” i Thus spoike Mehmed V., the sultan of Turkey and first Caliph of the Mos- ! lem world today in the course of an | audience which he had granted the| Associated Press correspondent. The sultan throughout the audience showed | the greatest confidence in Turkey’s ability to withstand the onslaughts of the allied forces, and followed with the keenest interest a description of the operations by the allies on March 18 against the Dardanelles forts, given by the correspondent of the As- sociated Press, who acted as spokes man for those who had been accord ed the audience. The various phases of the bom- bardment were discussed by His Ma jesty in a manner demonstrating that he was well informed on the affair, but he was greatly interested in the human aspect of this tremendous ac- | tion. What was the effect of the enemy’s fire? ‘What impression was | made upon the mind by the Turkish troops, and what was the fate of the| population of the towns near the forts bombarded All these were things in which the sultan showed deep concern. Mehmed V. Most Cordial. Mehmed V. was in a most cordial | dents related by the corresponden brought to the sultan’s face broad smiles of satisfaction, appreciation and amusement. How the correspon- dents had been obliged to make a hasty retreat when Kale Sultanit was reached by the alli shells ap- | peared to be of special interest to His. Majesty. " When one ofl the correspondents | told the sultan that he had been rendered nervous in Chanak Kalessi by the explosions of large shells, which impelled him to stoop at every detonation, and that an old interpre- ter, who also was retreating, touched him on the arm each time saying “Yock Kismet,” the sultan was much amused. He touched the newspaper man on the shoulder in a most fath- erly fashion and proceeded to explain that the use of the word ‘“Kismet" was improper under such circumstan- | ces. “The old man should have used the ward ‘Kader’ means that our fate is presses more fully what he wanted to convey.” said His Majesty. “The word ‘Kader’ mean# that our fate ° in the hands of a superior force and | that what is to happen will happen anyway. ~ The idea {s known among you, T believe, as fatalism. More Than “Kadet” Is Necded. “But, ‘Kader’ alone will not do; we also must work.” This incident disposed of, his| majesty asked the correspondent of the Associated Press to continue his description of the sinking of the | French warship Bouvet and the Brit- ish Irrisistible. The information that | the former had disappeared within three minutes brought a look into the | § kindly grey eves of his majesty as if he regretted that so many human | beings had perished without a chance to fight for life. The sultan then asked If his troops appeared to be happy and contented. The answer being emphatically in the affirmative, a new smile of satisfac- tion lit up his face. “It has been said that it was the factor of luck that made our victory on March 18 so complete and great,” he remarked, “but we in the Turkish have a saying, ‘Luck is infatuated with the: efficient.” H Jalls Allied Plan Unjust. | “It appears very unjust to me that the Allles want to force the Darda- nelles and take Constantinople just | to import foodstuffs from Russia.

And after all has been said and done e.erybody is agreed that, aside from the youth that the white man possessed, the next determining factor in the battle was the enormous physical proportions, particularly the reach, of the white fighter.

Concerning their chief com- mander, Emperor William, I can only | say that we in Turkey pray that he may enjoy the best of health for many years. “1 have seen stories in the news- papers asserting that the German em- peror is on the verge of a breakdown, but I assure you that I place no faith what part of the press alleges now- udays. 1 regret having to say that, Lut no other course is possible.” Proud to Receive Medals, The sultan was informed that Em- peror William was sending with Field | Marshal von der Goltz iron crosses of | the first and second classes, with which he intended to decorate his majesty, and the sultan appeared highly pleased. “l am proud of being presented with medals which decorate so many | brave men,” he said. So far the sultan had occupied him | scIf entirely with recent developments in the Dardanelles. Addressing him- self to the American correspondents present, he said: Values Opinion of Neutrals, “I am pleased to sce that two American journalists had an ‘oppor- tunity to witness the attempts to force the Dardanelles, 1 value the opinion of neutrals highly and wish avail myself of this opportunity to express the greatest satisfaction that the relations between the United States and Turkey are so cordial.” With this, His Majesty indicated by slight movement of the hand that the audience was ended. Although in | his 71st year the monarch rose from | the divan with alacrity and shooi | hands with the correspondents in democratic fashion, and as at the be- ginning of the audience, expressed h pleasure of having made their ac quaintance. The audience took place at Wabaghcheh palace, Brigadier eral Salih Pasha, the sultan's ide_de-camp, ucting as marshal.

Sultan in Plain Reom. Then followed a long march through magnificent halls decorated in Euro- pean style, and finally a splendid stairway with crystal balustrade and | was ascended to the second floor, where His Majesty wad waiting in a small, plainly furnished private par- lor. The audience was somewhat re- markable because of the absence of anything to remind one of the Orient. The sultan was seated on a divan but arose upon the entry of the cor- respondents and returned their salu. ations warmly. He then invited them to seats, which was an unusual honor for all but the highest officials are usually left standing His Majesty expressed his pleasure at meeting men who had been in the Dardanelles .and, on behalf of the journalists, the Associated Press cor- | ELIHU ROOT TAKES LEADING PART IN REVISION OF LAWS Albany, N.
