The suc- cess of this undertaking led to a feel- ing that there are many community problems that may be nlv-d by the concerted effort of the townspeople— problems social, economic and relig- ious, too, if we -pxly the test, “Inas- much as ye have it unto one of the least of these done it unto Me.’ impossible for any one church to solve and practically impossible for the united churches to carry to a success- ful issue, first because of lack of money | to carry on the work, and second Dhe- cause, nf neco-n.y, the work must be Brooklyn Savings | | EAST BROOKLYN, CONN., (Post Office, Danieison) Statement of Condition, 3 April 3, 1914 $1,015,360.88 - Loans on Real Estate ....

In the past the statement has been frequentiy heard that schools in_the villages and outlying districts in Killingly were not on a par with those in the bo where the grading is complete. pupils’ work from these village an district schools as shown in Friday exhibition refute this claim in a con- vincing degree. Some of the very finest specimens in the whole exhibi- tion were the work of children in the village and district schools in Killing- ly.
