Killingly High School. Pledges and cash amounting to $1,600 are already on file, this sum including money that has been given by senior classes from funds raised by them during their high school course. There is essential need of a gym- nasium at the High school which as originally planned included provisions for such a department. The changes in building plans made necessary by the heavy cost of the structure re- sulted in the elimination of the gym- naisum. Mr. Warren estimates from plans and figures made available that o gymnasium addition, a brick struc- ture, can be bullt for $4,000 to $4,500. He has been urged to increase his Pledges of subscriptions to a build- ing fund to $2,500 or $3.000 and then make the proposition to the town tnat this sum be accepted and the balance necessary to meet the construction cost apporpriated by the town, but he is disinclined to do this in view of Killingly’s policy of retrenchment as to expenditures and careful economy in every department of town affairs, that the public dept be decreased. Principal Warren is fully alive to the fact, however, that a gymnasium would be of very great advantage to the school, not only from strictly athletic benefits it would make possi- ble, but more especially because it would certainly be more attractive for students, in numerous cases inclined to feel the want of some method of relaxation from the routine of study and some method through which such relaxation could be obtained without taking their mind and Interest away from the school.

In The Bulletin's Wednesday morn- ing announcement relative to the aa- vance in wages at the mill in Day- ville the concern’s name should have been printed as The Assawaga Wool- en company, not the Attawaugan company, which is another concern, engaged in the manufacture of cotton textiles at Attawaugan, and very suc- cessfully. INSPECTED COUNTY JAIL. lators Meet at Brooklyn and De- e Upon Equipment and Improve- ments Needed. Increases At the call of the county commis- sioners, acting under a new statute, more than a score of Windham Coun- | ty members in the last legislature gathered at the jail in Brooklyn Wed- nesday to inspect the institution and premises with a view to passing upon a request of the county commission- ers for an appropriation to make bad- 1y needed improvements. Jailer and Mrs. Albert S. Field en- tertained the visitors at a very fine Juncheon previous to the inspection of the jail, which d never before been looked over by a majority of thise in the party.
