As al- ways, there was some fool perform- ing with revolvers. There was a time on the morning of the Fourth that it was neither safe for the celebrators nor others to be in the vicinity of where the shooting was being done The vallant celebrator who turns his head and wrinkles up his face while blindly reaching out his gun hana to fire a shot that might go into somebody’s face, or foot, or hand, was in evidence. Incidentally many were carrying and using revolvers in a dangerous way, without having a per- mit to be in possession of revolvers. It was more good forwune than good judgment that prevented numerous in- juries of a serious nature. Many Going to Webster. The Danielson Business Men's asso- ciation will be well represented on July 13 at the annual outing of the business men’s organization of East- ern Connecticut, the gathering this year at Webster lake. A canvass of prospects is resulting in the pledging of numerous tickets for the affair.

Files' Report of Schools for June— Weddings—Sunday School Outings on the Fourth, Members of the street department have their work cut out for them this morning in cleaning up the mass of debris that accumulated during the Fourth as the result of a Verdunized bombardment of the great outdoors by the enthusiastic youth of the city. The business section was littered Tuesday night with the remnants of hundreds of firecrackers, thousands of blank cartridge shells and all _the cther mass of waste that results from the use of holiday explosives. So far as noise was concerned, Tues- day was one of the real varleties in the way of Independence day celebra- tions. The din from early morning until well into the evening, in the business section, was incessant, and suggested to one what may be meant by a curtain of fire. Ahout every other youth had a re- volver and kept it in service about as fast as it could receive cartridges and spit their contents out again.

There is already talk in town of in- creasing the restrictions on fishing in Alexander’s lake at thesnext session of the legislature. The manner in which the fish are being gone after has brought the suggestion that a new act be passed by the legislature reducing ! the number of fishing days to two a week and the number of fish that may be taken to flve to & person, insted of ten. Unless this is done the fishing will be spoiled again after this sea- son, it is held by those who have watched what is being done at.the lake. since= Saturday-—of Aast-week. ! the men schoo! went to Qua- asket lunches were ken along | e day give nover to splendid |y ! he-open amusement !

Very few large flrecrackers were sold this year, however. WEDDING, Kelley—Quigley. At Holy Trinity church, Pomfret, on Monday morning Miss Annie Quigley of that town and Hugh Kelley of Nor- folk, Mass, were united in marriage by Rev. J. J. Elty, who was also cele- brant of the nuptial mass, the musi of which was sung by a choir of Mary's church of Putnam. Many of the residents have had their attention attracted by the peculiar sounding whistles with which locomotives on the New Haven of the city road are being equipped, the new whistles being less shrill than those that have been in use. Misses Marion and Lilllan Warren of Grand View are entertaining Mrs. John. Everbeck, Fast Boston, and Mise Ruth Williams, Providence, who are to remain here for a week.

In the police court Tuesday morn- ing, five young third of July revelers were arraigned on charges of breaking the peace. The gMintet was rounded by the police authorities after they had ignored repeated warnings to get off the street and wait until daybreak to shoot off their firecrackers. The boys were lodged ‘in_the station house for the remainder of the night. They wero Joseph Bourey, 18, Harvey Ri- card 17, Henry Spinks 17, Victor Ha- mel 16 and Joseph Petrus 17. Pro- bation Officer W. C. Lyman was ap- pointed guardian ad litem for the boys because of their tender years and he entered pleas of guilty for cach one after conferring with them. There seemed to be a wide diversity of opinion, however, as to which one of the five had the fireworks in his possession, as each one said that he was with the gang but another fellow had the goods. A fine of $3 and costs was imposed on each one by the court and all were then placed on proba- tion for a month, and told that if they deported themselves in a proper man- ner during that time their fines would be remitted, although the costs in each case would have to be patd. How the Holiday Was Spent. The Glorious Fourth in this city was a quiet one. Aside from Young Amegrica with the inevitable firecrack- ers and toy pistols, there was little to distinguish the day. A large number spent the holiday in other places. A few family reunions and picnics were | held about the city but for the most | part the holiday was observed in ai safe and sane manner in every sense | of the word. | In some of the smaller towns round- about there was more oing on, Mans- field Center, Columbia, Windham Cen- ter and Scotland each making con- siderable of the day and quite a few people from here visited these places. There were the customary ball games and sports at each of these places. Collations at noon and fire- works at night were also included in the day's events. Larceny Case Continued. i The case of Herbert L. Sweitzer, | the Windham veterinary, charged with | the larceny of goods from the Rex Restaurant on Main street. has been adjourned until this (Wednesda morning, upon request of Sweitzer’ counsel.

Improved Commercial Course. In the high school I would especially mention the great improvement in the commercial department under Miss Lewis. The various courses have hened during the| h school depart- ents have been kept up to their usual high standard and the discipline has, 1 believe, been better. Resignation of Teachers. The loss by resignation of Miss Mil- ot B erce of the history depart- a s 3 ment and of Miss Gertrude Shepherd of the is, of course, to be regretted. Miss Pierce teacher of ability and en- th m who is improving and she can be depended upon to do highly sat- isfactory work anywhere. Miss Shep- herd is a lanzuage teacher of excellent preparation, a teacher who, with a lit tle added experience, will be an addi tion to any high school teaching force. I am very sorry to have them leave, put do not blame rnem for being af- tracted to a larger field with the ad- ditional emolument. Few changes have texts: some changes are needed and notably in arithmetical text. Few changes have been made in method; few were needed. Some changes have been made in disciplinary oversight; they were needed. In the elementary grades, Miss Mil- dred K. Durfee, who had taught in Grade III at the Israel Putnam school during the year, resigned to teach in the schools of Winchester, Mass. Afiss Jennie C. Johnson, who had for two years taught in Grade I at the Israel Putnam school, resigsned to be mar- been made in ried. Both proved faithful and loyal during their employment in our schools. Principal Driggs Leaves. As this report is being prepared, I am informed by Supt. W. H. Miner of the Apponaug, R. I, schools that Her- man F. Driggs, who has very credit- ably acted as principal of the Israel Putnam school for the past two years, ‘has accepted an election as principal of the grammar school at Apponaug. This creates a vacancy.in the princi- palship of the Israel Putnam school. Mr, Driggs has been a capable co- worker in the schools, but he is not to be blamed for accepting the position that was offered him at the liberal in- crease in salary. z T would take occasion to express my appreclation of the excellent epirit of teachers and parents and puplls during the year.
