Lack of attendance during the fall term may cause the school board to decide against re-opening the town’s evening school after the Christmas recess and this feature of Plainville’s educational efforts may be abandoned for several months at least. Members of the board admit that they are disappointed over the fail- ure of many of the non-English speak- ing .residents to take advantage of the opportunities to learn the langu- age of the country, which the night school affords, and as a result part of the appropriation ynade by the an- | nual town meeting to cover the ex- pense of paying ®eachers, etc., may be diverted into other channels. The principal reason for the small attendance seems to be overtime wori in the factories, making it impossible for some of the employes to attend the sessions. There appears to be considerable interest among foreign- ers, Itallans especially, in the school but prospective pupils find it impos- sible to enroll, owing to business con- ditions. The war in Europe also affected the attendance, several of the young men, employed at the quarry, who were ex- pected to become members of the evening classes, having gone back to fight for the land of their birth Rev.

In the ell part of the residence the greatest damage was done, for the room was practically ripped off the structure. ‘The falling parts which had been posened dropped through the sgar- ‘ett and knocked off all the plaster in the rooms on the upper floor.

Tn The Storm’s Path. Yesterday’'s miniature hurricane played many pranks in Plainile in addition to doing considerable dam- age and this morning some of the were littered with the debris it left in its wake. It was the most severe gale in the memory of the town’s oldest residents and that the damage was not even greater is considered remarkable. Trees and chimneys fared badly during the gale and a number of them succumbed to the breeze. The chimney on the Church of Our Lady of Mercy collapsed before the wind and many shingles were ripped from the roof of the Congregational church. Outhouses were tipped over, the roof was removed from James Burns' barn, chimneys of the Hotel Clarendon and a building on Main street owned by Miss Nellie Lewis also failed to resist the Storm King's ef- forts to topple them. A large pine tree in Miss Barnes’ yard on Whiting street was broken off at the base and several smaller trees on her property also surrender- ed to the gale. A large buttonball tree which stood in the near of Frank S. Neal’s place and at one time helped to shade the canal of bygone days ls no more. It crashed to the ground during the storm. On Park street wires were torn down by limbs of trees which were broken off and in several other sections, elms and #2- ples as well as fruit trees were ruiner. A billboard was ripped from the Newton block on West Main street and the weather vane on the factory of the Bristol manufacturing com- pany got so confused owing to the varying winds that it was not in com- mission this morning having been twisted out of shape during the storia. A section of the fence surrounding the Electric field was blown down and a large billboard located nearby also fell a vietim of the blow, The electric light service was put out of business and for several hours trolley cars on the New Britain line were stalled for lack of power. It was one of the worst storms in many years and the damage in Plainville wvill amount to considerable. 0dd Fellows to Elect.

Hird’s or James Robinson’s, Wash- ington St, and Monroe Washington, Dec. 27.—Vice Presi- dent Marshall, in the absence of President Wilson, today welcomed the delegates of the South and Central American Republics at the opening session of the Second Pan-American Scientific congress. In his brief address he declared the ideal of Pan- Americanism should be to prevent un- interference in the affairs of | the to any just the American nations and that United States would be the first resent such interference with American country. A Pan-Americanism practically identical with that advocated by Pres- ident Wilson in his message to con- gress, was supported by the speakers. A composite address of the twenty- two specches made would leave im- pression of general endorsement of the idea. Secretary of State Lansing in his capacity as an officer. of tho United States, which invited the con- gress to meet him, and as presiding officer of the governing board of the Pan-American union, discussed Pan- Americanism as an “International policy of the Americas” and the Mon- roe Doctrine as a ‘“national policy,” pointing out that the two were not inharmonious. | Eduardo Suarez, ambassador of Chile, president of the congress, re- plied expressing in general the at- titude of Latin-American and, head- | ing the list of nineteen chairman of delegations, Frnesto Quesada of | Buenos Aires, made the first of the five-minute replies. 1,500 Persons Present.

It was founded on the principle that the safety of this Republic would be im- perilled by the extension of sover- eign rights by a European power over tefritory in this hemisphere. Con- | cetved in a suspicion of monarchial | institutions and in a full sympathy with the republican idea it was ut- tered at a time when our neighbors | to the south had won their indepena | ence and were gradually adapting | themselves to the exercice of their| newly acquired rights. To those strug- gling nations the doctfine became a shield against the great European powers, which in the spirit of the age coveted political control over the rich regions which the new-born States had made their own.
