TRADE SCHOOL IS REVELATION TOMANY Hundreds of Visitors See Pupils Engaged in Productive Work Over 400 New Britain people took advantage of the opportunity to in- spect the State Trade Shop in the Vocational High school building last Inspection of the departments which were in operation during the evening between 7 and 9 o'clock was under the supervision of Everett D. Packard, the present director of the school. A number of the boy pupils acted as ushers and escorted the visitors from depart- ment to department. Following the inspection the visitors adjourned to the hall op the upper floor where they were welcomed by Principal fouis P. Slade. Mr. Packard gave a ¥hort talk on the aims and accom- plishments of the trade school and introduced the department heads who in turn explained the work under their direction. The trade school, which in August will be turned over to the city and operated as a Vocational High school, is housed in the eastern half of the new structure, both the basement and upper floors being used. That the | work as carried on under state direc- tion will be continued on the same lines by the city is assured. The cur- riculum now include pattern making, both wood and metal, machine shop work, plumbing, printing, mechanical and architectural drawing, carpentry, dressmaking and sewing. An elec- ! frical course is being planned and will be starte din the fall. All Practical Work. '\ Those who visited the school more properly shop, for it is ducted as far as possible as a real manufacturing establishment, found the pupils engaged on serious tasks, much of it order work for customers. In the wood patterns department the boys were working on difficult and | painstaking work, which Is later to be used in the making of real ma- chinery. Wood patterns for gears, lathe parts, drill presses and numer- ous other parts of machinery were saen in process of construction, the pupils working from their own draw- ings in many instances. In the machine shop on the base- ment floor at the east side of the evening. or con- the school room. On the contrary the long room is studded with lathes, | drflls and other machinery to be | various | the money that would be them paid for Print Class Book. The print shop has just completed work on the High school class book, job which has hitherto been done »y & commercial printing house and \ comparison with previous books sows that a fine grade of printing is feing done by the pupils under Mr. Fassett’s direction. N Practically all of the work in the tmde school in the way of installa- tin, new machinery, benches, desks ard cabinets is now done in the shop by the pupils of the various depart- mints. As an example the installa- tiqn of the machinery, line shafting, mgtors and other paraphernalia was dore by the machine shop and car-- peytry pupils following the transfer from the shop in the rear of Stanley street. A The shop is conducted like a real faciory. The pupils work eight Wours dail with four hours Saturday, keep accirate records. of their time, punch- ing a time clock on entering and leavng. Besides this exact record of the ime spent on each job is kept as well as the time given to academic studies. When an order comes from the fictory it is immediately filed and when work is started a production or- der is glven. Three records of the work are kept by the department head and the whole is administerad as it would be in a modern manufac- turing establishment. Room for New Pup While the number of pupils has fallen off during the past year duc to the great demand for factory work- ers and in. part to the -proposed change in control from state to city, it is anticipated that with the close of the public schools for summer va- cation there will be a large influx of new puplls. The city has invested $170,000 in the Vocational Tigh school and will carry on the work so well begun by the state just as soon the transfer is made, which will probably be by August 1. ENGAG Mrs. Scripture Gives Party in Homor of Miss Pauline S. Riley. Announcement of the engagement of Miss Pauline S. Riley, daughter of Mrs. Carrle 1. Riley of Berlin, to Nor- man E. Bigelow, assistant manager of Woolworth & Co.’s Hartford store, was made this afternoon at a party given in honor of Miss Riley by her sister, Mrs. Albert N. Scripture of 74 Garden street. The house was tastefully decorated for the event, the color scheme being pink and white.

Nearly' forty boys and young men | were engaged in the construction of | machinery, turning, boring, gear cut- | ting, filing and fitting. Visits to the print shop, drafting room, plumb- | ( everywhere the pupils being engaged | on actual work. The sight was a revelation to a majority of the visi- tors who had little or no idea of the work being accomplished. A trip to the dressmaking and sewing department revealed a dozen oung women at tables cutting, stitch- ing and embroldering. All were en- gaged on order work with which the department is nearly swamped at the present time. Examination of the finished ~ work proved conclusively that the, garments were in reality fin- fshed and salable goods, well worth I | pair of hearts bearing the names of Miss Riley and Mr. Bigelow. Roses and cut flowers adorned the dining room where a delightful collation was served. The guests Included Mrs. E. C. Bige- low .of Hartford, Mrs. Carrie I Riley of Berlin, Mrs. Otis M.

Wilson Cheered En Route. The president, attired in white trousers, blue coat and straw hat and shouldering his flag like a musket, stepped briskly to martial airs played by the United States Marine Band. ! He smiled broadly and frequently raised his hat in responses to cheers as he marched along between two Dis- triet citizens, escorted by Secretary Tumulty, the White House employes and the White House newspaper corps. Ideal weather favored the demon- stration. There was hardly a cloud in the sky and the air was cool. En- thusiastic crowds thronged the avenue from the peace monument to the ‘White House. In front of the White House the president left the line of march and took his place in a stand to review the pa He was joined there by Mrs. Wilson and all the members of the cabinet now in the city, Women Are “Prepared.” As the line swung around the treas- ury building at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, the president was confronted by a huge banner bearing the legend “Be prepared—If care about ninety-one electoral votes, consider us-—women's party.” Half a dozen young women with mag- aphones saw to it that the banner did not go unnoticed. It was the worlk of the Congressional Union for Wom- an Suffrage. BANDITS KILL POLICEMAN Shoot Officer to Death and Wound His | Companion After Sensational Hold- up of Automobile Party.

Health Department Reports One New Case and Two Under Suspicion— Investigation Continues. With a total of eleven cases of typhoid fever, one new case and two under suspicion the health board to- day is grappling with a situation which is steadily growing more seri- cus and Health Superintendent T. Reeks has sent to New York for an cxXpert on sanitation, who will come | here and make an exhaustive exami- | nation of the lacal situation. Until the source of the disease is definitely established Dr. Reeks recommends and urges all housekeepers to scald milk before using for any purpose. Continuing the work of tracing the disease, the department is still test- ing wells and cisterns on farms from which milk is sent to the city. One well is under suspicion and on this farm no more milk will be sold in the city until the question of contamina- tion has been accurately determined, In three cases it has been shown that the milk came from the same source. The disease has cropped out within a week and is apparently gaining at an alarming rate. Tod are visiting all the stations to learn positively of milk supply. All the city voirs are being searched for possible contamination, but in this connection it may be said that the city chemist | has given the city water supply a clean bill of health both chemically and | bacteriologically. The water department is co-operat- ing with the health department in this work. The health department feels positive that the trouble comes from some well or cistern, the water of which is used for the cows Dr. Reeks is planning to visit all dairy farms in this locality and take a Widal or blood test of all employes with the object of discovering a ty- phoid carrier, which is now suspect- ed. local MOOSE GO TO CONVENTION.
