He. reviewed the essential elements that had developed the high- er education of women, giving them the equipment to fill large places of re- sponsibility in education, professional life, industrial affairs and in solving social problems. The chief center of ‘woman's life's activities, sald President Sykes, was shifting, and now the edu- cational realm is showing a small body of men entirely surrounded by women. The best. approach to instruction is now through the concrete, devoloping the faculty of doing things, declared the speaker who fayored rural schools for rural life and city schools for city life. All this educational evolution leads'to vocational training and in the sphere of soclal economics nothing is 0 cheap as education or pays as well. President Sykes incidentally prophe- sied a radical reform in speliing. Governor Baldwin's Admonitions.

MURRAY CO. Danielson, Conn. ©octiTuThS Schools—J. J. Sullivan Recommend- | Commissioners Lippitt Favor Recsivership = for County National c Cited to Appear in Superior Court at Necessity of Ree orously Oppose Act An important development Fr{day in the affairs of the \indham County Savings bank, which has been closed by injunction at the instance of the state bank commissioners since Aug. 6 of last year, was the-serving of offi- | cers of the institution with papers in | which the officers are cited to appear in the superior court for Windham county in connection with the ‘appli- cation for a recelvership for the bank made by the state bank commission- ers. . The application was made in the su- perior court for Windham county, and Monday, June 30, has been named as of Norwich will be at Putnam to pre- de at the hearing on the application The application for the recelvership came as a surprise to the bank ofi- cials, and from some things heard Fri- day it is evident that the officials of the bank will fight to the last ditch against the receivership, for if a re. ceiver is appointed it will mean the winding up of the affairs of the insti- tution, and the bank people have con- tended since the injunction was tirst served, and still contend, that the bank can be opened and do business as usual, without danger to any depositor. In ‘any event, as events have now shaped themseives there is to be & { showdown and some very interestin; developments are looked for, and it 16 said all of these will not be on ome side of the controversy as to the real condition of the bank. The following is a copy of the com- plaint served on the bank and a copy of the citation: Text of Examiners’ Notice.

Your petitioners are of the opin- |ion that the charter of said savings | bank should be forfeited because of failure to conduct a savings bank and because of long continued insolvency and inability to resume the business of a savings bank, and, further, your peti- tloners are of the opinion that the public Is in canger of being defrauded by sald savings bank. WHEREFORE the undersigriet pre- fer, this complaint:— A 1. That said bank may be enjoined from any further proceedings in its business. 2.

In the superior court here Friday the case of Jennie Labby vs. the City of Putnam, commenced Thursday, was continued, the taking of evidence be- ing completed and arguments by coun- sel made during the day. Several wit- nesses were heard, their testimony having to do with the extent of the damage done the Labby building on Canal street. * City Clerk F. W. Seward testified that the latter part of the month .of | October, 1910, he raceived a letter from Mr, Labby that damage was being done his bullding by blasting and asked protection. The matter was referred to the corporation counsel, John .. Carpenter. Arthur Maynard testified that he was in Labby's saloon at the time of the heavy blast and that two clocks on the wall were stopped by the shock, a mir- ror was cracked and cracks were made in the brick wall. Chatles O. Crane, a bullder and con- tractor of Wililmantic, testified that the west wall of the building had bulged out and that several walls and cross-walls had parted at . the angles where they met. To repair the buflding it would be necessary to tear down the west wall (the §ide near the canal), take Gut about half of ‘the gtone foundation and rebuild the stone foun- dation and brick wall. The cost of this would be $2,804.96. On cross-examina- tion, said that the building was not un- safe now, but that if the world “jogs along as’it has in the last 40 years” it will be unsafe in the future some time. For the defense George W. Perry tes. tifled that the average depth of rock was § 1-2 feet, and the maximum depth wag 10 feet, and even by drilling holes at quite an angle, it would not be pos- sible to drfll 16 foot holes. E. M. Wheaton testified that the out- #ide wall 1s as nearly plumb as masons can lay it, but the inside of the wall seems to have shrunken. This may have been caused, however, by the sea- soning -of the wood, which would give the appearance of a bulge. There ls a crack in the basement, but that is nothing unusual, for cracks usually occur where stone and cement work meet. He sald that the cracks could be fiiled up with calclum plaster and the few Drick torn out and replaced. at a cost of less than $100. He would not tear down the wall, Arguments will be completed today and the case will go to jury. SIX DIVORCE CASES To Come Befors Judge Shumway in Superior Court Monday.
