Most of the places that were used as licensed liquor saloons in 1913-14 have since been unoccupied and in every in- stance there are prospective tenants, based on the securing of-the required license. By the action of the town of Stonington last Monday in voting for liquor license and the action of the last session of the legislature in raising the price of license, places the liquor dealers of Pawcatuck and Westerly on the same footing insofar as the cost of doing business. It is said that with an almost doubling in the number of-‘saloons in the immediate vicinity of Pawcatuck, including Westerly. there wich; Gaspee (formerly Nameaug of New London), of the Providence Vet- eran Firemen’s assuciation; Fire King, of Pawtucket; Hay Cart (formerly N. .

Staplins against Grant H. Anes, assigned " f ‘of John H. Eisdisck against Julius Sermon setided. Judge Barrows then ‘charged tha jury in the case of Rob- ert B. Meikle against John Monti, in ‘whceih plaindfr sought t> recover $500 ir. durcages as the result of an auto- mobils collision on the Crandall road near Fleasant View. After consider- ing the case for about 20 minutes, the Jury ' through its foreman, Ez-Gov- ernor' Charles Dear Kimball, returned a_verdict for the plaintif to recover $£178.92 in damages. The next case for trial was that of Henry P. Walton againg: Peter P. Palmer, an action of sssuripeit in the Yorm of a promissory mots of. $100 miade by Fredericx A. Bldredse, now daceaved, and emdorsed Ly Poter Pal- mer. The no'e wes diacounted by Mr. ‘Waltor, anéd haz nover been paid, so it was allezed. Mr. Palmer claimed that Mr. Fldred had infcrmer him that the note had been paid. Herbert W. Fathbun, counsel for Palmer, sug- gested that the note bore the endorse- ment of “Peter P. Palm,” and not Peter P. Palmer. George A. McKenna rep- resented Walton. The jurors called 1o serve in this cuse are: Thomas. E. Cole, Edwin B. Rogers, TErastus C. Dawley, North' Kingstown; Jchn E.

Chapman Reports for Town Schools for the Year—Enu- meration Shows 1,670 Children of School Age. The -tenth annual report of the su- perintendent of schools of the town of Plainfield to the town school com- mittee is as follows: The public schools of the town of Plainfleld have been in session regu- larly during the allotted time for the school year of 1914-1915, no marked interruptions occurring through epi- demics or protracted periods of in- clement weather. The work accom- plished has been equal in quality and quantity to that of previous years. The regular work has been carefully attended to and advance has n made along special lines. Model Store Equipment. In Plainfield, material for a model store has Deen supplied through a company in New York without expense to the town, and this material has been utilized in a practical way in the teaching of arithmetic, business transactions and problems of produc- tion and distribution of- the common articles of trade and the necessities of life. ] In Central Village the teachers have made beginnings in folk-dancing and systematized play and in May gave a very successful exhibition of what has been accomplished along these lines. At the Green Hollo wschool the teacher, Miss L'Heureux, has done simple but practical work in st 3 the rudiments of domestic science and agriculture as well as giving instruce tion in_folk-dancing and systematized play at the recess and noon intermis- !k)nhl. These are all simple and very ele- mentary beginnings, but they are along the lines of practical and useful edu- cation which is demanded by present day conditions and is being taught in the best school systems throughout the country. The results, even in so slight beginnings, are very evident. During the coming year, with the as- sistance and co-operation of our whole teaching force, we -may be able to plan and carry forward these begin- nings to more complete courses.

Additional Story. The addition of the upper story to the brick school in Plainfield provided four extra rooms. This did away with the school in Uniomn hall and two rooms in the Academy, but continued the use of the portable building. It is probable that one and both rooms in the upper story of the Academy building will have to be reoccupied this year as the attendance in Plainfleld is increasing steadily. The lower rooms in the brick bullding have been full all the vear and as pupils dropped out from the upper grades transfers have been made to relieve the conges- tion of the primary grades. Should it become necessary to open the rooms in the Academy it will necessitate stnding from 30 to 50 pupils from the brick school to the Academy. N JOHN L. CHAPMAN, Superintendent of Schoals.
