Mott. recently elected gener- al secretary of the Y. M. C. A. inter- national committee, New York. Mr. Mott's subject was the great oppor- tunity of the Y. M. C. A. in countries at war. He spoke for over an hour and held the close attention of huns dreds of the leading business men of the two states, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and citizens of sur- rounding states. As he talked he pictured the great need of the Y. M. C. A. work in nations at war. There is great need for the kind of work the Y. M. C. A. is able to do in the great battle camps, in the hospitals, among the prisoners of war and in the trench- cs. He related how the obstacles were overcome, one by one, until the Y. M. C. A. is doing a wonderful work in the places mentioned. The most recent development is a call from the head officials in Russia for the establishment of Y. M. C. A. work among their men. A few weeks since two of the Royalty's private cars were tendered a Y. M. C. A. secre- tarv and guards were furnished on a tour of investigation as to the best locaticns for association work. In closing Mr Mott said to the large audience: “Gentlemen, you begin to see that the word Opportunity is far too empty a word to use in relation to the great things that call to us as members of the Y. M. C. A., an oppor- tunity that will never come again and by the grace of God we will grasp it and succeed.” banquet at which 500 men sat n, brought the convention to a close.

SCHOOL MONEY WILL BE $10,500 MQRE THIS YEAR. Te Be Paid By State to Towns on Enumeration Basis—284,223 School Children. All the towns in the state ha not yot filed with the state comptrol ler their school enumeration for this year. There are twenty yet to_ be hearq from, including Bristol. But it is possible for the returns filed to estimate the number of school chil- dren in the state and the amount which the towns will receive based on _the enumeration at the rate of $2.25 per pupll. Chief Clerk A. J. Wright of the state education de- partment has estimated an increase of 310500 over the total amount of last year. This is the largest in- crease in any year in the history of the grant. The next largest was in 1913, when the figures of the enum- eration entitled the towns to $8,856 more than they received in 1912. An estimate based on these fg- dren of school age in the state. It ures shows there are 234,233 chil- is believed that the greatest rate of increase was in the city of Bridge- port. The state board of education pald Wednesday afternoon, the last sum due towns for the 'past fiscal yvear on account of high school tuition and gansportation. The total paid for 1915 was $93,329.35. In 1911 the amount was $81,580.85, or_an increase this year of $11,712.49. The increase was due to the fact that more children ir towns where there were no high schools took advan- tage of the law to secure a high school _cducation on other towns where facllitles existed. The state has now paid all the towns the amounts due on account of the average attendance grant. The sums pald amount to $128,186.03. There are three towns vet to be paid narmely, Eastford, Kent and Volun- town and_the total amount due them ic $5,097.59. When these thiree towns are paid the state will have pald this vear the sum of $133,283.62 as an average attendance grant to_the towns. The sum of $9,352.50 has been paid for school supervision.

In digging the trench in Chestnut street for shifting the Franklin street !bruol-: and sewer from the Hopkins & Allen property into the street it has has not been found necessary to tear up the old brick vault which was dis- closed under the street by the exca- vation. As the sewer is down 10 to 15 feet from the surface it has been possible to dig away the floor of the vault without disturbing the six brick arches which formed the roof and these will still be in position after the sewer has been constructed. According to Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher who has been looking into the history of the brick vault it was constructed by Cole and Walker (Noah Cole ang Horace Walker) who were running the Union Machine company about the time of the Civil war and this underground chamber was used for the storage of ammunition as fire- arms were manufactured. His father worked for the concern in their build- ing which was known as the Armory. The vault made an underground chamber about 75 feet long and ex- tending half way out into the street or about 20 feet from the easterly line, The spring of each arch was support- ed by a brick wall with doorways cut in it so that the entire underground space wah practically one large room. In later vears the place has been used for storage of oils and supplies of that nature. week| t for College from Waterbury.
