Teachers Engaged for Coming Year— . Report of Teachers’ Committee Ac- oqpted. - The rtgulas monthly meeting of the town school committee was held in the selectmen’s rooms 4n the town puilding | Wednesday evening. The chief matter under discussion was the hiring of teachers for next year. ‘The report of the teachers’ com- mittee, presented by Chairman Curtis Dean, was ccented. The report cailed for the rehiring of thie present staff of teachers, with additions t0 the salary list totaiing $1,220. According to @ voté passed at the meeting, the contracts presented for signature by tie teachers will contain a clause making them revocable on 30 | days' notice by either party. This ac- | tion was taken on account of the fact | that the town has no method of com- ! peliing performance -of contracts by the teachers, and the committee felt that the town should have a like priv- ilege of terminating the contracts if for any reason it should be deemed ad- visable. The contracts are to be returned to the committee before the next monthly meeting. In addition to the teachers, Miss Ethel Y. Grant was re-engaged as sec- retary to Principal Case of the high school at a salary of $36 a month, the present amount. Before, the report of the teachers' committe€ was received Principal E. A, Case appeared before the commitwee in regard’ to' the granting of a com- mereial diploma or certificate for the completion of the commercial course in the high school. - His recommenda- tion was that such diplomas be given on the completion of three years in the high school and the commereial course, which may be taken during or after the three years. It will be necessary for the candidates to pass examinations such as are‘required by the United States civil service, comprising 46 words to a minute, with five word al- lowance for errors, in typewriting, and a 95 per cent. passing grade instead of 65 per cent., as at present. This will ire the gradugte’s ability to hold a busifiess job suécessfully on comple- tion of the course and acquirement of & diploma. Principal Case’s recom- mendations were adopted. The teachers who were engaged,with their salaries this year and for the coming year, will be found in the fol- lowing list High School. 1913-14 191 E. A. Case .. % 00 $2500 John L.

Want Schoolhouse Rebuilt. | On Wednesday the selectmen re-i ceived a petition signed by 56 resi- dents and taxpavers of the Valley sec- | tion of East Killingly asking that a special town meeting be called for the | purpose of considering the question of | the rebuilding of the Valley _school- | house, destroyed by fire in January. | Since that time the pupils who attend- ed the school have been attending the | schools at Killingly Center and East Killingly, the town paying transporta- tion costs. Under this arrangement the town has been under less expense than it wonld have been in maintzining the school. The special meeting will prob- biy be held during the present month. THREE MONTHS IN JAIL. for Intoxication and Kicking Officer Green. That it is very impolite to kick an | officer in the stomach, especially when such an act is entirely wanton and un- called for, and that any person who indulges in such a pastime will be made in Killingly to realize that he has been guilty of a sad mistake, was borne in upon Daniel Reardon, arr: ed near Attawaugan, when he was pr sented before Deputy Judge James Tucker in the town court Wednesday morning to answer to charges of in- toxication and asgault on Officer Hosea. ! Green of Dayville. Officer Green was putting Reardon in the cell at the po- | lice station when the prisoner kicked | him. Reardon was entitled to a thrash- ing then and there, but got off without it. For the assault Judge Tucker sen- tenced Reardon to serve six months in jail; for the intoxication charge the Tourt added another 30 days. Reardon appealed, but later withdrew his ap- peal and went to jail Henry Ruel was another prisoner in court Wednesday. He was given a sentence of 30 days for intoxication. DEEMS WIRES UNSIGHTLY. Poles Ditto—Business Men's Asso tion Favors Improvement. The Danielson Business Men's asso- ciation nas gone on record as favoring the removal of the mass of unsightly wires strung on rows of equally un- signtly poles—to the eves of those who look for the city beautiful effect— | through the business section of Daniel- son, and the organization is also in fa- vor of having the trolley company re- move fthe wooden poles that support the overnead work of the system through Main street and replace them with metal poles, as was done within the city limits of Putnam a few years ago. Under such an arrangement as the association is in favor of the electric light, fire alarm telegraph and other wires would be run down streets paral- lel to those in the business section and distribution of service made wccord- ingly.

The following letter from State Highway Commissioner C. J. Bennett will set at rest the various misun ier- standings thata have arisen as to propositions for doifig state road work in the Borough®of Danielson:. . . April 7, 1914. D. Prince, President, 1 Danielson Business Men,s Association, Danielson, Conn. Dear Sir: My attention ,has been called to an article i: the Norwich Bulletin of Tuesday, Tpril 7, wkich in- dicates that there is considerabl: misunderstanding in Danielson as to the intention of the Highway depart- ment in tho construction of the voad leading from Reynolds street north to the Borough line. Permit me to call vour attention to the following facts ijn this connec- tion: . First: That®he road itself, if built, must be built out of the State Aid fund, and in that even the road al- ready designated to be extended to- ward Providence cannot be so extcnd- ed. Second: My Letter of March 31, ex- pressly states that there can oe no modification in the original proposi- tion made with the se~'ectmen under date of March 24, which provides for the paving only of the road from Five Mile River Bridge to Reynolds sree: end does not include any portion of | the road from Reynolds street to the| Borough line. In my letter of March 31, you will} find the statement that “iiere s no hard and fast rule made for the laying down of permanent pavement befors conatruction of under-ground pipes™ This is a zeneral statement, and does not apply specifically to Danielson, and I will say for your definite in- formation that I could not consent to the construction of any road within the Borough limits of Danielson unless the under-ground structures were buitl before the road. The construction of the road, there- fore, from Reynolds street to the Borough line would necessitate, First: A provision for the con- struction of a sewer in this section of the road and also the construetion of other underground structures which might be necessary, and, Second: The transfer of the State Aid appropriation from the trunk line leading toward Providence to the trunk | skirt, line from Reynolds street to the Borough line. Yours_truly, C. J. BENNETT, State Highway Commissioner. A Strong Play. The Little Lost Lest Sister. an- other strong play was presented by the Orpheum theatre Wednesday evening and was appreciated as one of the best at- tractions that Manager J. F.

If you know coffee don’t harm you—if you feel prime and fit under its con- tinued use, well and good—stick to it. But—if you are sometimes a bit “off color,” and irritable nerves, disturbed heart action, biliousness, headache, or symptoms of liver or kidney trouble make Better find out what coffee has to do with it.
