Invitations to the meecting had been sent out by Miss Marion L. Young, a graduate of the New Haven Normal School of Gymnastics, and a teacher > the sub- ject last yéar In Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A good number of those invited were present, as well as the teachers of the school. g Miss Young had a plan to propose to provide physical training for the chil- dren of the school, which was enthusi- astically received 'and adopted by the parents. She opened up the subfect by reading a paper upon physical training, in which she clearly showed the great emphasis that is now being laid upon the value to school children of proper school room exercises, drills and directed games for recreation,. as all having a marvelous influence upon the physical, mental and maral health of the child. Mental and moral capac- itles often depend upon physical health, for 11l health and a weak body affect the mind and the morals. With health nearly all things are possible, but with 1il health nearly all things are impos- sible. Will be Instituted in Eridge D&trict School as an Ewm- ment Next Week--Miss Yfailng the Teacher. - Miss Young went on to {lltistrate how the nervous child, or the indiffer- ent and careless, could be helped‘and refreshed by a ten minute exercise that would start up their circulation and rid the brain of the hot,throbbing blood, while also correcting bad pos! in sitting, standing, ‘contracted chests, and cramped intestines. By fllustra- tion she showed how story telling, in- | laf volving motlons for the class, could be used In the ary grades, and how directed play could accomplish much with the older grades. t the close of the talk she offered her plan to provide physical instruc- tion for the Bridge district school, which was adopted and will begin next week. Miss Young proposed to give a ten or fifteen minute lesson in each room per week, and have the regular teacher carry it out on the other days of the week. As the district could not afford to pay for this, she offered to give a trlal course of ten weeks, for which each scholar will pay two cents per week, or one cent in cases there are more than one scholar in a family. At the end of the course it Is believed that parents, scholars and teachers will have seen enough of its good effects to want it continued. T} plan was adopted as proposed.

The last meeting of the organization under the name of the Legislative Ar- my and Navy club was held Thursday evening, March 20, Speaker Wright | and Adjutant General Harland being | present, It was at this meeting that formal ‘steps were taken by the club towards making the removal of the battle flags of the civil war from the state arsenal to the capitol a great ceremonial.

Arcanum Second Team Trims the Thames First Five on Their Own Alleys. — On Wednesday evening the second team from the Arcanum club went to New London for their first match out of town and met Team One of the Thames club, and took two of the three games rolled, using the Thames five the same as did Arcanum team No. 1 two weeks ago. The first game went to New London by 56 pins, the jocals not striking their gait, but thereafter they were invincible and secured all the honors of the evening. The second game was won by 33 pins and the third by 53. In the third game Crawford did some _clever rolling. Starting off with a break he turned it into a spare and followed with five strikes. He - then took four out of the next setup and made a hard try for the six left but falled to get one. That broke his run and spoited what might have been the big score of the series, as he followed with two more strikes, but secured a break in the last box. He made the enviable single of 216, however, and secured the high total, 535, and was. llkewise high on_ strikes with eleven. Honeyman and Com- stock ere tied at 18 for high spares.

On Wednesday evening there was a large attendahce at the social held by the Epworth league-in-the vestry of the Methodist Bplscopal church. The entertaiument for.the evening was ably furnished by Rev. and Mrs. Ed- ward Huntington Smith of China. The vestry was attractlvely decorated with Chinese banners, scrolis, flags and par- asols. Rev, and Mrs. Smith were dressed in Chinese costume denoting people of high degree. There were many tables of Chinese articles and curios, Including a Chinese puzzle, na- tive shoes, wooden combs, reed rice bag. Rev. Mr. Smith explained the workings of the eurious locks and keys. The earrings worn are about four inches In diameter. The bamboo tree, Rev. Mr. Smith said, is ‘a great insti- tution. They grow straight "up:and when one is cut down another soon grows up. As the Chinese say, a man can't live where the bamboo can’t grow; they use it for food, to make canoes, rafts and many other articles. The houses ars built many times-with- out a nail, the bambeo being-used in- stead. It 1s very light and strong. It is eaten as we eat asparagus. . Ghinese Money. The Chinese money was a very in- teresting topic; the money which they bave used until late had been used for years, clear back into unknown his- tory, and the pleces shown were worth about one mil] apiece, so that one had to carry a large quandity if going truv- eling, 7 20 Stevens 117 172 133—423 § 11 12 2| "yl 1yoney of all nations is now used v and sometimes the worth of a dollar is 75 B1p 528 2390136 64 35 15| perplexing, as one time a silyer douas ‘eam Standing. may be worth 45 cents, another time Won.

County Commissioners Send Installment of Ligquor Mo’g:;'fmy On Monday the county commission- ers sent out checks to the various towns of their share of the money tak- en in January for llquor and drug li- censes. The Bridgeport check was $18,369; Westport, $405; Mo $830.25; Stamford, $810; n, $405; Tairfleld, $130. The check to Bridgeport is much lower than the average January amount, as was the December check, which was $95,535, & total of $113,904, the money and so the dead person would be able to get along while the spirits were so busy grabbing the money. A Wily Scheme, The idea originated, it is said, by a man and wife being poor and the wife gave out the report he was very sick and couldn't be seen; next report was he was dead, she meanwhile putting oim in a coffin she had prepared with airholes in it and food, She then be- san to burn bushels of this stuff she called money and said she was send- ing it 10 her husband who was in the bad plece. Soon her husband appear- ed, saying he had received the money and had bribed the gatekeeper to let him out, and that if any of théir rela- tives were there, or liable to go there, it would be a good idea to buy some of this money and send therh to bribe the gatekeeper to let them out. Nat- urally a great sale of the money was held. A dead person is supposed to have three spirits, one that goes to its re- ward or punishments, one to the an- cestra] tablet and one in the grave, and this one is supposed to give the most trouble, as you never can tell where it is. The beating of the tom toms was spoken of as a person with croup; the evil spirit is supposed to be clutching at their throat and the tom toms are beat as loud as they can beat them right beside the. sick person. The dress was touched upon: the styles change there as they do here. Inquisitive Visitors. When the Chinese came to visit Rev. and Mrs. Smith the sewing machine was a greet wonder to them, every- one wanting to take home something thet had been sewed on it, the same with the typewriter, all wanted some typewritten words to carry away. Rev. Mr. Smith spoke very interest- ingly of Chinese life and customs and also of the misslons. A large red um- brella was one center of interest, it | being a complimentary gift to Rev. and | Mrs. Smith from one of the churches. The_singing in Chinese by Rev. and Mrs. Smith was listened to with much interest and enjoyment. Oriental Dainties. A table was set with a Chinese menu, including rice, peanuts, oranges and vermicelll. Rice bowls were used and chopstigks. -Among the banners was the anti-oplum and the national or dragon fiag. The different costumes were shown on dolls. Tea from the Inghok mountains was served in the dainty Chinese cups. It was a rare treat to see all the curfos and hear the descriptions and history of them in the clear and pleas- {ng manner in which thev were given Tittle Miss Sarah Greer was also in Chinese costume, presenting a quaint appearance. A 5 At the close of the entertainment cake and jce cream were served. A table which attracted . attention was that of the idols and incense. Rev. Mr. Smith gave all 8 lesson in Chinese.
