By invitation from the town school committee, parents who have children in the Long Soclety school are to meet in the school building at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon, where they will have explained to them the committee’s sug- gection that the children now going to the Long Soclety school be transferred to the Greeneville school and the Long Seclety school given up. President Charles W. Murphy of the tewn school board and School Superintendent E. J. Graham will be present to speak at the meeting. According to the school authorities, the matter has been under considera- tion for some time, but the meeting will be largely in the nature of a con- ference at which they expect to be able to show to the parents the advisability of carrying out this plan. There are two points upon wiich it can be urged, the’ school authorities say, economy and efficiency. Doing away with the Long Society school would mean two less teachers to be employed and the saving of the running expenses of the school build- ing. It is believed, too, that by shift- ing the scholars 'to the Greeneville school they could be given better edu- cational advantages than by keeping them at Long Society. At the present time at the Long So- clety school there are two grades to each of the two teachers, while at the Greeneville school there are two teach- ers to each of the grades, and the registration at Greeneville is such that the 50 of 60 pupils from Long Society <could be transferred to the correspond- ing grades at Greeneville and easily taken care of by the present teach- ing staff at the Greeneville school. The Long Society school has only the first four grades. It the plan is carried out, it is not expected that any arrangement will have to be made for the transportation of the pupils, as, according to the school authorities, none of ihe puplls affected would have to trave] any far- ther than some pupils now come to the Greeneville school, even of the kin- dergarten. Some of the parents have asked to have the transfer made. On the other hand, it is understood, that other parents whose children are to be affected will be on hand at the cor.ference to oppose the transfer plan. These are particularly parents of chil- dren living on_the Corning road. Of such children there are about 12 or 15, from 6 to 12 years old. One of the parents interested said Thursday night that their particular objection was be- cause of the situation which made them peculiarly a rural community and that the children on the way to school did not travel along the roads or street, but went crosslots as the shortest way to school, and did not have any chance to use trolley cars in bad weather. It would mean about three-fourths of a mile more, to and from school, that the children would have to travel if they had to go to Greeneville. It is understood that the school board will be prepared to hear the ob- Jections to be offered and if they are serious enough, and well founded, the <hange will not be made. DESCRIBED WORK OF ST. AUGUSTINE'S SCHOOL Rev. A. Bu Hunter of Raleigh, N. C, Spoke at Lenten Service. A brief historlcal sketch of St. gustine’s school at Raleigh, N. C., was given by the school principal, Rev. A. Burtis Hunter, Thursday evening at Trinity church at the fourth of the united Lenten services of Christ and Trinity Episcopal churches. Rev. Mr. Hunter's talk was very Interesting and he had the close attention of all throughout. After the opening hymns Archdea- con J. Eldred Brown, the church rec- ttor, read as the first lesson Isaiah 62 and as the second lesson, Luke 18. Rev. Richard R. Graham, rector of Christ_church, offered prayer. In his opening remarks Rev. Mr. Hunter spoke of the feeling of broth- erhood between the Episcopalian clergy of the North and South during the Civil' War and said he has been told that at the general convention of the Episcopal church in 1862 the roll of bishops was called just as if there had been no secession of the states. In 1867, clergymen of the Episcopal church went to Bishop Adkimson of North Carolina and asked him if he wished to have a school established for the education of the negro. Bishop Adkinson warmly welcomed this offer and so it happened that St. Augustines school was established in Raleigh in 1867. During the 48 in- tervening years the school has carried on its work quietly and effectively. The school is not a college and i not primarily an industrial school, yet it has had to serve in both capacities. It has had to discharge this two-fold function of preparing teachers, and of shaping the lives of young men for future theological work. A number of those whe attended the school have gone forth to theological colleges. Many of those attending the school are unable to pay for their courses and so they volunteer their services about the institution. This affords practical training along _industrial lines. During February the George C." Thomas Memorial dormitory was opened. In 1910 the woman's auxil- iary subscribed $5,000 towards its erc- tion and several years previous to that they subscribed a like sum. The work of erecting the dormitory was done largely by students. There is also a large hospital at the instiiution. The stone was quarried on the institution_property, although not by students. However the stones were placed' in position by students and the plastering was largely done by the students. The chapel stands at the centre of the school life. Two services are held in the chapel every day, although the same congregation do not attend both services. During the morning hours there are a number of students who attend the school, making the trip out from Raleigh, a distance of two or three miles. Going over the record of the work being_done by former students Rev. Mr. Hunter has found that some thousands have attended the school since its inception although all have not graduated, as many were unable to complete the course. As far as possible a careful record is iept of all the graduates. At one time there were. four colored archdeacons in four dif- ferent dloceses of the south, all form- er students at the school. Many of those at work among their own peo- plo in the dioceses of the south are graduates of the school. The bishops of the southern dioces- es maintain parish schools for the ben- efit of their parishioners and to these schools St. Augustine's school has sent 2 number of teachers. In Philadel- phia there are three colored clergymen Who were former students at St. Au- gustine’ school, as is also a colored minister in charge of a handsome, large church on 123rd street, New York city, At St. Augustine’s school there is an Au- interesting family, the family of Arch- deacon Delaney, a former student, His wife has been matron of the school for the past 25 years. She has brought up not only the girls who have been under her care at the school during that time but she has also brought up a family of ‘10 children. The oldest is now a practising physician, a second is a teacher of domestic science at Brunswick, Ge., another 1is the present music teacher at St. Augus- tine's school. Ten or 15 years 8go there was but one colored physicien in Raleigh, now there are 17 colored physicians there which shows that the young col- ored men are endeavoring to fulfill thelr ambitions, Rev, Mr. Hunter spoke of some of the boys and girls who attended the school and who have grown up and. gone among their people as teachers or ministers, and in closing spoke of the necessity of having money enough to carry on the good work.. Change of Song. Plerre Loti, who, as you will recall, retired some time ago to the peace and qulet of the Bosphorus to listen to he music of the bul-buls, can now amuse himself by harkening to the songs of the bullet-bullets. —Boston Transcript. TOO MANY SCHOOLBOYS ARE SPOILED DARLINGS. The Way Marcus White, Formerly of the Academy, Sees It. Principal Marcus White of the State Normal school of New Britain, former- Iy an instructor at the Nurwich Free Academy, is quoted as saying that a large number of the boys in the pres paratory schools are spoiled darlings instead of overworked boys. Most of the school children, he says, are going to entertainments, theatres and parties as much as the grown-ups. The Amer- ican schoolboy is two years behind the German schoolboy of the same age in his studies. e declares that the greatest trouble with most of the parents is that they allow the children too much liberty and do not require enough study. A parent-teacers’ association in any community is a-very helpful sign, he said, and the work of the parents and the teachers to help the children must be along the same lines and they must work together. In New Britain each school has a parent-teachers’ associa- tion and the results are very helpful. TO STREET DEPARTMENT Should Be Passed by Doctors, Says a Norwich Physician. One of the best known of the Nor- wich doctors, who stood on Franklin square Wednesday, absorbing, involun- tarily, all that was borne to him from the surface of the street on the March gale that was blowing, remarked that all the phyisclans of the city ought to pass a unanimous vote of thanks to the street department for the filthy condition of the streets. It meant so much to the doctors, he indicated, in the throat troubles and the various kinds of infections that would be car- ried into the breathing passages by the dust-laden air. On Thursday the sprinkling carts ‘were out for the first time this spring, laying some of the dust on Franklin and Main streets. The Chelsea Savings Bank. W Norwich, Conn., March 11, 1915. At a special meeting the Directors held this day the following resolu- tions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in~ the grief with which the death of General Edward Harland afflicts the members of this Board, its is a peculiar solace to recall the privilege they enjoyed for many years of being assogiated with him in his management of this bank. They have felt gratification at the expres- slons of appreciation of his services to his country during the Civil war, but it is the man as we knew him in the more intimate relations of our every day affairs to whom the memory of his associates now gratefully turns. His attachment to principle was res- olute and unswerving. No one ever ventured a second time to approach him with a suggestion that a step should be taken which sacrificed a standard of right action in business. To all other arguments or appeals his mind was open and receptive, When he had heard all, his decisions were swift, confident and unequivocal. Rarely, indeed, did the result fail to justify’ the wisdom of his judgment and the courage with which be pur- sued a course once decided upon. He believed that in business as well as in other relations of life, everyone should assume and sustain full re- sponsibility for the results of every task he undertook but he was more relentless in holding himself than any- one else to such responsibility. With this firmness of moral fiber was join- ed a disposition of sympathy toward others in difficulties and a constancy of attachment toward those in whom he had learned to place confidence that bound them to him with feelings of the strongest regard. * Resolved, That as a token of our respect, we will together attend the fuperal services and will cause these resolutions to be entered on the rec- ords of the bank and published in the city papers. Attest: CHARLES B, CHAPMAN, Secretary. In City Court. Willlam . Austin, colored, who had a barber shop at No. 59 Franklin street, was before the city court on Thursday on the charge of violating the state law relating to barbers in operating a shop without a license, &s he had not rer:ewed his license after it expired. The complaint was brought by Michael Crotty of Rockville and W. Neuman of New Haven, members of the state barbers’ com- mission. They were present in court. Attorney Cunningham made a plea for Austin who was found guilty and fined $10 and costs by Judge T. J. Kelly. This amounted to $80.77 which he could not pay and went to jail. A woman from Montville was sent to jall for Intoxication and two men Were fined for intoxication.

Connecticut Shore Great Gathering Manoeuvres. Towns of will Vessels See for Residents of Connectlcut coast towns will have an opportunity some time in May to witness the greatest combina- tion of naval vessels most of them have ever seen. Secretary Daniels has announced that between May 9 and June § the Atlantic fleet will be sent to Narragansett bay. It will include not only superdreadnoughts and battle- ships, but also destroyers, submarines mine layers and aircraft, together with the varlous attending auxillaries. The basing in Narragansett bay is for the purpose of working out a game on which the war college has been labor- ing for some months and which is un- derstood to cover the coast from Nan- tucket to Montauk Point, the area rep- resenting the approach to Long Island sound. When this plan is put into execu- ticn, Forts Wright, Michie and Terry, which guard the entrance to the sound, will figure in the manoeuvres. Jt is saeid to be even contemplated that merchant craft shall be pressed into service. These are to be used as mine sweepers, as is now belng done in the European war. The aircraft will act as the eyes of the fleet. The whole idea is mapped out on a scale much larger than previous manoeuvres. Later the Atlantic fleet will sail to the Pacific. The ships will attend the formal dedlcation of the Panama canal July 4 and will then proceed to the exposition at Seattle, returning in the late summer.

He listened to the argument until it reached an abusive stage, his father calling his mother vile names when he appeared on the scene and told his father to stap. George W.

He gave a brief resume of the testimony that had been introduced in which he recited that George Hew- itt had visited the home of Mrs, Alice Hewitt repeatedly, at first every two weeks, then weekly, then dally: dur- ing the past three weeks he had made his home with the defendant; letters had been introduced as evidence, show ing that improper relations existed. Attorney Stewart claimed that it made no difference who was the aggressor in the matter, even if the man had been the aggressor and bestowed his affections on the woman and the wo- man had heen the passive recipient of th affections, they had deprived the plaintiff of the love and affection due her from her husband znd de- prived her of his conjugal society. It was not necessary to prove adultery to show alienation of affections. Judge Bennett gave his opinion that no evidence had been introduced to show that the defendant was the di- rect cause of the alienation which un- doubtedly_existed between the plain- tiff and her husband. -He admitted that it was not necessary to show that the defendant had caused the aliena- tion by act or deed and he granted the motion. The judge then had the jury called in and explained to them that a non- suit had been granted. Court ad- journed to 10 o'clock Friday morning. THE NEW NEGRO.

It took the divers three years, and a vast sum of money, to fish up the Parthe- non relics. It is believed that Lord Elgin spent over $370,000 in procuring these priceless fragments left by Turkish vanddls, who would probably have made an end of even these had the earl not rescued them in time. ‘The House of Commons voted $180,000 for their purchase, so that the enterpris- ing peer lost heavily in cash, and suffered from a public agitation against his alleged “vandalism, rapac- ity, and dishonesty,” as well as from Byron's “Curse of Minerva."—London Chronicle.
