As a commissioner, he was perehaps fami- ljar with the stvle of architecture and had general idea of the character of furnishings. Judge Tanner made a careful examination of the building and expressed approval of all that had bee; complimenting Senator " Arnold, the resident mem- ber of the commission, who had per- sonally superyised the work from beginning to completion. Judge Tavner was accompanied by Attorney General Herbert A. Rice. who Was the orator at the cornerstone lay- Ing of the joint town and state buiid- ing. The deed of the site of the court house, and other matters between the town and state, have not yet been formally completed, and the attorney general gave these matters attention. It is, therefore. just a bit coincidental that the gentleman who was promi- nent in the cornerstone ceremonial will be prominent in the closing transac- tion that will give to the state the complete control of the court house.

CLASS IN HOUSEHOLD ARTS Suggested for High School by Normal School Principal—Matter of Phygical Instruction Taken Us. . The regular monthly meeting of the town school committee was held in the selectmen’s room Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Principal H. T. Purr of the State Normal school was present and offered on behalf of the normal school to furnish a teacher and equip- ment for a class in household art, in- cluding sewing and cooking, for the girls of the high school, if the town would pay for the materials used. The acommodations for a class of 20 would be provided at a cost of about $10 per pupil for the two courses. Princi . A. Case of the high school said that he considered this an | exceptional opportunity and thought it feasible to charge each pupil $2, under | which arrangement he thought about | 20 would take the course. The com- mittee accepted the proposition and left the detalls to Principal Case. Mr. Case was aiso heard on the sub- ject of physical training and made the sugzestion that the committee co- operate with the ¥. M. C. A., which is giving good physical instructions for both institutions, thus obtaining a bet- ter man than either could get alone. Fred Jordan appeared for the Y. M. C. | A. and spoke in favor of the plan, if | satisfactory arrangements as to time and the division of the expense could be arrived at. H. C. Lathrop, Dr. W. P. S. Keating and Principal Case were | made a committee of three to take up | tho matters with the directors of the | Y. M. C. A. Miss Carrie A. Ray of North Adams, Mass., was engaged with a_salary of | $800 to flll the vacancy in the English department of the high school caused | by the transfer af Mrs. Thusa G. | Turner to be a teacher in German, in place of Miss Anna Bass, resigned. The report of Curtls Dean in regard to the establishment of an ungraded room in the Natchaug school was accepted and the selection of a teacher there and | also to succeed Grace E. Vail, whose | resignation as a kindergarten teacher | was presented to the board, was left | to_the teachers' committee,with power. Dr. F. E. Guild will present the di- plomas at the high school graduation, H. C. Lathrop at the Natchaug school and Dr. Keating at the Windham | street, as it was so voted C. C. Case | and George S. Elliott were appointed | a committee to assist Principal Har- | roun in planning for the graduation at the Natchaug. The matter of furnishing the chemi- cal department at the high school was left to the supplies committee, with ' power, as was the purchase of addi- | tional typewriters for the business course. H. C. Lathrop, George S. El- | liott and H. Brion were appointed a ommittee to attend to the storage of | the furnishings of the high school and | the Natchaug school until the new | ‘buildings are erected. This is neces- | sary because of the tearing down of the old Natchaug school and the fact | hat the rooms in the town building and the normal school now used by | the high school will have to be vacated this June. The same committee will lock into the matter of janitors’ sal- | arfes and report at the next meeting. . Alpha Club Organized. Another club has been formed in | town. This time it is made up of the young men of the Methodist church and is to be known as.the Alpha club. Its purpose is to promote theé .moral, mentpl and spiritual welfare of the | | young men of the comgregation, the | age limit being from 15 to 25.
