That wedding took place in a small and cosy little cottage, the groom coming at 3 o'clock in the af- ternoon to await for the wedding hour at 6 oclock after spending the day with his brother Benjamin felling trees in the woods. Through a half hundred vears many changes have come about and Tuesday afternoon their golden wedding reception was held in the beautiful home of their daughter. Mr. Grosvenor is the son of John Willlam and Phoebe Spalding Gros- venor and was born May 11, 1839. In 1862 he entered the Union army as a member of D company, Eighteenth Connecticut Volunteers, and fought through all the campaigns in which that command engaged. He was wounded during one engagement and has since felt the effects of the in- rv and privations suffered in the war, aithough his life has always been an_active and very useful one. Ar. Grosvenor was state treasurer of Connecticut from 1897 to 1899 and has twice represented his town in the house of representatives and his dis- trict in the senate. On March 7, 1866, Mr. Grosvenor married Miss Elizabeth Mathewson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George B. Mathewson. a noble woman, who iy loved by all who know her. Three daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Grosvenor—Mary M., A. and Louise P. Julia HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Interclass Debate for D. A. R. Prize Cup Probably’ March 15—Debate With Killingly H. S.

Superintendent of Schools Files Rec- ommends to School Board a Six- hour Day. Superintendent of Schools Harold W. Files, in bhis report of the Putnam public schools for February, states that there were enrolled 840 pupils, 425 boys and 415 girls. The average membership for February was 707, a gain of 12 over January, and the ave- mge attendance was 7, a slight gain over January. The days’ absences for February totaled 1619: January's total was 1223. During February 89 pupils were tardy 142 times; January’'s figures showed 85 pupils tardy 120 times. During February 219 were perfect in attendance as compared with 295 for the month of January. The membership at the end of the month of February was 733, a gain of 9 over January's figures. Instruction. Our school hours need revision if we are to do well all the work. that modern conditions require of the schools. For the grade schools I am in favor of forenoon and afternoon sessions of equal length, three hours each. Our Mnnunt hours, 9-12, 1.30 to 3.30, wlith very strongly that, pupils above grade V, where home study is Parple, EXTRA Al Tollow, PORTER el difficult, if ont impossible, to get, a schol day f 6 hours would enable us to do more and better work. My idea of hours would be $.45 to 11.45 and 1 to 4, a schedule of hours that, with deduction for recesses, would give us an extra hour each day. In the case of the high school, 1 believe that the same schedule could very profitably ba made effective again and for the reasons cited to apply to the grammniar grades. At the end of a month of work, it can be stated without qualification by me that the high school on the In- struction side is stronger tham at any time since the school has been under my_observation. We are trying to make the com- mercial department a department where adeyuate preparation will be a prerequisite and a department where serious attention to work will be ne- cessary to survive. The work in penmanship has also been systematically arranged. Miss Louise Gaedkc of the A. N. Palmer recently spent a day in the schools conducting model lessons and instructing teachers.
