Two new ca were reported from Orange, one e from Watertown and Glastonbury, three from Colchester. This makes the total number of reported cases in the state 413. But the officials in the office of the board say that a num- ber of those which have been report- ed turned out to be merely suspected cases and that the number of posi- tive cases in Connecticut does not ex- ceed 404. Saturday forenoon a report came into the office that five of the cases reported from Colchester were not on diagnosis shown to be cases of infantile paralysis at all. The Woodstock case turns out to be something else than the epidemical disease. There are prospects of the schools of Mystic, both sides of the riv commencing at the usual time thi fall, the west side school on Monda Sept. 11, and the east side on Thur day, Sept. 5. Committeeman George H. Miner has decided that there is no reason thus far, as least, why the Mystic academy should not begin on time and he has engaged the sa teachers as served last year: M Fiedler, Miss Collins, Miss Chace, Miss Brown and Walter E. Hammond, principal and teacher of grade efght. In reference to the possible danger from exposure to infantile pararlysis Dr. C. F. Congdon, health ofSter of the town of Stonington, advises the mothers to keep their children off the street and out of the trolley cars and warns them that if the children are sick and especially have nausea,vom- iting, loosenesg of the bowels, pains in the muscles®r bones, to call a doc- tor at once. Don't invite company, he says, especially from infected local- ities, and concludes his advice with the observation that mothers can do more good nmow for the children by heeding this advice than they could ever do by shouting for equal suffrage or attending pink teas and leaving the youngsters to shirk for themselves.

Hon. L cien F. Burpee, juds TAFTVILLE Challengs to Robert Walker of Baltic— Return from Camping Trip—Person- als and Notes. Much has been said of late about the ability of Robert Walker, a_ former Taftville boy, as a speed merchant on the cinder path. It is understood that Walker's specialty Is the 220 yard dash, vhich it is reported that he can do in seconds. Al- a though Taftville still claims an inter- littie better than est in the boy Mercury, it also believes that it _has another runner who can better Walker's record by at least a whole second. Accordin to reports circulated in Baltic, it seems that Walker is having a hard time to get matches with other ruuners.’ Now if the Baltle boy would like to try out his speed against a first class man, a match between Daniel Flynn of Taft- ville and him may be arranged by communicating with Flynn's manager, Robert Pilling.

The thirty-four supervising agents representing 97 Connecticut towns have received in- structions fo 1e coming school year with gard to the canduct of their school: Secrtary C. D. Hine has been in ate tendance throughout the entire ses- sion. He has given ‘daily lectures to supervisors and teachers and has also presided at the supervisiors’ confer- ences. President C. L.

With regard to this subject he spoke of the teachers’ meetings which are held in towns under state supervision and tHe assignments of instructual work. In another talk Mr. Hine spoke of militarw matters. He expressed the opinion very emphatically that the schools should help to organize a sys- tem which would result in a body of trained men. In order to get a just appreciation of the military history of the United States he urged the reading of books 0 nthis subject, mentioning particularly Upton's “Military History of the United States,” published by the government printing office at ‘Washington. Mr. J. W. ished the course in drawing Satur- day. The main object of this course has been to explain the drawing leaf- lets which make up the course of stury in drawing for the schools under state supervision.

The final conference of supervisors was made up of the chairmen of the various committees who reviewed briefly the committee reports and adopteq certain requirements for su- pervisors in the state system.
