It is sald that the company has a supply of pulp on hand which would keep the department busy for three months or more, if word should Dbe sent of the discontinuance of this branch, which is at present housed in the old No. 3 mill. In view of the fact that the company has a tract of white birch woodland in Maine, and that the tendency is toward the use of wood rather than pulp spools for all but large sizes, it would not be surprising, however, if some such action should be taken. In this case, however, it is stated that every one employed in the pulp de- partment would be given employment Creditors of Hop River Company Mest | in other departments. A meeting of the creditors of the American Board company, of Hop Riv- er, was held at the office of F. H.

The American Board company was formerly in busitas at Hop River, and sold its real estate there early in the summer to parties who later formed the Toliand Leather Board company.

To High Schools in Other Towns. During the past year sécondary edu- cation has been of more than usual importance. Thirty-four children re- siding in the town of Griswold have attended high schools in other towns and the cost of tuition and transpor- tation has been pald by the town of Griswold. Thirty children have at- tended the Norwich Free academy. three the Plainfleld high school, and one the Windham high school, Willi- mantic. The consent of the school visitors was granted to all children making an application for high school privi- leges on condition that the institution attended must be approved by the state board of education, and that the cost of tuition and transportation should not exceed the expenses for attendance at the Norwich Free aca- demy. The cost of tuition for all children attending mon-local high schools was $1.868.33, and for trans- portation, $865.40. The reimburscment from the state treasury for tuition will be $965.70. and for transportation $432.70. The net cost of tuition and transportation to the town will Le $1,335.38. 100 Years of Griswold Schools. The termination of the past sch year marked the completion of a cei- tury’s continuous existence of the pud- lic ‘schools of the town of Griswo The year 1913 is therefore an impo: ant year in the educational history of the town. We believe the event should be prop- erly observed by the schools through- out the town some time durink the year, and we suggest the month of October, which is the one hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of the town, as a suitable date. It seems proper on this one hun- dredth anniversary to refer briefly in this report to the carly days of the public school system of Griswold.~ We are indebted to Daniel L. Phil- lips, a former acting school visitor, for permission to quote from his ticle in the Jewett City Press entitied A Hundred Years Ago. “In 1792, by the sale of the western veserve lands, the present school fund of Connecticut was created: and in 1797 the North Preston parish, by statute law and its own act, was cre- ated a school socfety, and school mat- ters within our limits, such as chang- ing district lines, locating sites for schoolhouies, appointing district com- mittees and school visitors, were man- aged and controlled by this organi- zation; and this the condition of affairs in 1515. For the forty years from 1760 to 1800, the average number of children of school age is given as about 530. From that time and for the next 15 years tre increase of ctildren was not in proportion to the increase of pop- ulation. In 1815, the number of school children for the greatly increased pob- ulation is estimated at about 600. When we consider that in our last enumeration of scholars, in 1914, all that part of Griswold outsine of Jew- ett City containing nearly the same number of inhabitants as the whole town in 1815, numberen only 230 chil- oren of school age, it would seem that the danger of race suicide was quite remote a hundred years ag SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT TONNAGE ON THE PACIFIC Has Disastrous Effect On American Trade in the Far East. ‘Washington, Sept. 21.—Disastrous effect on American trade in the far East of a continued shortage of freight tonnage on the Pacific, are predicted in a report on the freight situation by Consul General George E. Ander- son at Hong Kong, China, made pub- lic_today by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The report indicated that Japanese shipping lines which virtually control the Pacific trade, will continue to discriminate in favor of Japanese shippers in ap- portioning space in steamers. ‘While no definite announcement has been made, it is well known by officers of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce that negotiations are now nearing completion for the establish- ment of a Chinese-American shipping line in the Pacific, which will to some ed by Americn capital, will receive a extent relieve this situation. The new line, which is to be financ- subsidy fro mthe Chinese government and its ships will fly the flag of the Chinese government. “The most uncertain element in the ituation,” says the consul- general's report, “is the question of whether or not the vessels of the Pa- DIED SUDDENLY.

McCabe read a letter in Polish from the Polish relief committtee in New York, written by Madame Seimbrich, acknowledging the receipt of the con- tribution recently sent, which was re- ceived at the Polish celebration here. The letter reads: My Beloved Fellow Compatriots: 1 hereby acknowledge that the Amer- ican Polish relief committee of New York has received from Rev. John J. McCabe a check for the sum of $49.55. 1 send you, my compatriots of Jewett City, Conn, my heartfelt thanks for the offering, and I beg you earnestly to collect again in the future and to do what is in your power to alleviate at least in part the sufferings of our un- happy brethren in the fatherland. I greet you most sincerely. MARCELLA SEMBRICH KOSHANSKA. Father McCabe recelved a personal letter which read: I am sending you an acknowledg- ment and my thanks as you desired in Polish in order that your people may hear my letter read. and I wish also to thank you heartily for your sym- pathy and to ask you earnestly to keep my cause in_heart. The need and sympathy in Poland are indescribabie, Again thanking you, I am, yours sincerely, MARCELLA SEMBRICH KOCHANSKA. School Secretary’s Report. A meeting of the school board was held Tuesday afternoon to hear the report of the secretary, A. C. Burdick, which is to appear in the town report. Officers for the Tyler district were ap- pointed, with Frank Geer as district W. C. Briggs, clerk and nd Joseph Roode, collector. 1t was voted to open the school in the Tyler district, provided the district put the school building in_proper condi- tion. Secretary A. C. Burdick’s repert was in part as folio The progress of our children in their studies and such training as will pro- duce the best citizenship in later years is_obviously the chief, purpose for which we expend money upon schools. It is just as difficult to point out this certain progress as it ever was. Some pointers, however, were observed dur- ing the year. Among ehe more im- portant things observed was the un- usual interest shown by teachers and pupils in current topics and a desire to keep abreast of the times in all of the departments of school work. Our observation teaches that the most important means for obtaining the highest standards is in the selec- tion of teachers. We need the teacher who is trained and who has also the personality to keep up the record of the past and to improve it.
