The management of the Anditorium, ever on the alert for feu- tures of all kinds, certainly picked a nner when they booked this film. as s without a doubt the peer of all moving pictures up to the present time. The title of the film is Clio & Phyletes and it is produced by the Itala Co. of Turin, Italy. the firm, who became fa- mous in a day by their aster- plece, the Fall of T Fs of Troy was, and is, a masterpiece of motegraphic art, but I'Iin & Phylete is as far ahead of the Fall of 7 as that film was ahead of all p productions. The fire scene deserves mention, as it is wonderfully tic and totally eclipses anything ever produced in this line. Today the last chanca io witness this special feature, and If the Auditorium is as full today as it was yesterday it will he necessary to be on hand ear Although the management of the Au- ditorium went to considerable extra ~xpense to secure this $30,000 feature, the admission charges remain the same) The vaudevilie changes today, with fhe change comes the old popular | favorites, Fields and Hanson, the be: known team of comedy musicians in | this country. Thay are well known in Norwich and will doubtless receive a warm welcome. Charles Latham & Co., presenting the New York success, Spud, will be an_important factor in the race for popular favor, as this act §s one with a touch of real human na- will appeal to all.

In 1905, the Connecticut state legis- lature took an advanced step when enacted a law making it mandatory for all towns which had not adopted this enlizghtened policy to vote on the ques- tion. Seventy-two out of the 117 towns which voted on the propositiom fa- red it and now at le: 123 or nearl) per cent. of Connecticut towns are ing the benefits of free textbooks the in operation in thirteen of twenty-one towns in New london county. In Norwich the Town street school distriect has it. Every city in Connecticut of the size of Norwich or larger has adopted the system and in Middletewn the guestion will be voted upen this year, A petition signed by twenty legal voters is sufficient to bring the question before the voters of any town which has not adopted it. Edncation is not free when pupils are compelled to purchase the required textbooks and supplies, The states publishing their own textbooks sell them at ridiculously low prices when compared with the retail cost of book published by the schoolbook tru Some of these states have supplied free hooks for a quarter of a century and longer, with the most satisfaciory results to the general publle. e of the reasons which militates vinst the desirability of Norwich as a residential ty is that it lags be- hind in educational matters, Norwich needs free schoolbooks and supplies, vonsolidation of 'schoel districts, a high school which is free to all, and a manual training or trades school.
