STONINGTON Friday-35th Anriversary of Sinking of ‘Steamer Narragansett—School Board in Session—High- School~Game-With Webster. Friflay was-the 35th=anniversary of the Narragansett disaster and elderly citizens discussed the sound horror with almost as much interest as they did when news reached the borough that the steamer Stomington had col- lided with the steamer Narragansett, both of the Stonington line, and that the Narragansett then took fire and sunk, and with great loss of life. The accident occurred at 11.30 at night, and early the next day the steamer Stonington, with bow and forward up- per vorks stove in, came limping into Stonington harbor, having on board meny of the survivors, the balance having been rescued by the steamer City of New York of the Norwich line and taken to New York. There were over 300 passengers on board the Nar- ragansett at the time of the collision, and it was esttmated that at.least 40 lives ‘were lost. School Committee-Meets. * ‘The school committee of the town of Stonington held a three hours’ ses- sion Thursday night and earnestly dis- ussed matters pertaining to_ the schools in an endeavor to reach an emicable settlement of matters over which the superintendent of schools and the principal of the high school do mnot even agree. Regular routine business was transacted and the com- mittee reports progress in the ap- pointment of teachers for the mext school year. All contracts sent out for signature by teachers have not been returned and in some other instances an increase in salary has been asked. It is believed that at the next meet- ing the teachers’ contracts will all be signed and returned and then the com- mittee will be able to give out the compleet list for publication.

There are said to be many unlicensed dogs in the town of Stonington. Morris R. Volck of New York replied Friday to the accusation made against him on Wednesday that he had locked his wife in their apartment at 11 Bast 68th street and refused to permit her to leave. Mr. Volck is the stepson of Dominico da Gama, the Brazilian am- bassador. Mrs. Volck’s father is Jabish Holmes, a wealthy lawyer, for- merly of Stonington. The story came out as a result of a move to release Mrs. Volck by a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Volck said that many misstate- ments had been made concerning the proceedings and that a great injustice had been done him. “It is not true,” he said, “that T re- strained Mrs. Volck of her liberty at our apartment or anywhere else. The statement that I intended enlisting in the German army was false, and was without the slightest foundation. I never told my wife anything of the kind. I am an American citizen by birth, My father and my grandfather were also American citizens, and so there is no reason why I should fight on the side of Germany. I have been 1n daily conversation with my wife and have provided her with money for the housshold expenses. Semeime No Demand.

COLCHESTER The following, is a New York wo- man’s account of what she saw a week ago at the rooms of the Colchester Boys’ club: I was particularly surprised to find in a place the size of Colchester this desire to help the boys in gaining a foundation and energy sufficient to car- ry it out. Such work would require 2 man of unusual executive ability and the director showed himself equal to the occasion and extremely re- sourceful in understanding and draw- ing out what would be most useful for the boys under his charge. All de- tails of work were apparently inter- esting to him, Two little boys were making a boat, their whole attention given to it, a boat large enough to be of use to them, and which they assured me was to be a peace boat, for they didn't believe in war. I hope they really meant it. In another room a boy was making a writing desk, the buildi of which opened innumerable avenues for him. He might have made one at home if he had greatly wanted to, but how correctly would it have been done? How accurate would he have been in his measurements, how careful in_finishing? Most interesting were the drawings, showing the boys’ comprehension of what they were trying to do, as well as their ability to express that com- prehension. Is it not possible that here were planted the seeds of future draftsmen, architects and landscape gardeners? I have been interested in work of this kind and I have had some opportunity of seeing it in Felix Ad- ler’s school and I was a little surprised to find the work of these boys rather above the usual work of boys of their age. Four boys were taking their first lessons in concentration through the games of chess and checkers and the director superintended these as well as the others. There were about 1% boys in the room when I first went in and the difference in their occupa- tions was very marked. Whether amusements or manual training held them, it was quite evident that the best in them was being put forward in their efforts. And isn’t that a tan- gible acquisition for everyone con- cerned in any way with either the boys or the town? At a recent meeting of Boys’' club officers, held in Pittsfield, Mass., an exhibition of mechanical drawing from clubs from six states was made and ——— e ——— @, Prince George, eldest son of King Constantine of Greece, is the helr ap- parent to the Greek throne.
