The population 1s about 11,000, The Old School Week proposition, as Auggested by Mr. Lincoln, is to in- ciude not only a reunion of all former pupils in the various schools of Wil- limantic, but is intended to rouse en- thusiasm among graduates and former pupils for memorial gifts, especially in honor of former teachers, to be placed in the several schools, in the way of libraries, mural decorations, equip- ment, etc. Pupils always receive from the public_schools far more than they can ever repay, and devoted teachers put more of value into the lives of their pupils than is commonly realized, A movement which would combine the Deculiar delights of a reunion of old schoolmates, including practically also the pleastres of an Old Home Week, With & purpose to recognize the worth of schools and of teachers, and to co- operate to equip new schools with modern facilities, as a tribute of ap- preciation from former pupils, should prove of unusua! interest and value i BURNING CATERPILLARS’ WEBS Results in Fire Which Damages Roofs of Twe Buildings.
