Fraternalists are advocating the adopticn by this country of a day to be known as “National Fraternal day.” Discussion of the proper day to be designated has brought forth many suggestions, some of which favor the enniversary of the founcing of the first lodge of the Ancient Order of United ‘Workmen, the pioneer of fraternal ben- efit socleties in the United States. John Jordan_Upchurch founded _Jefferson lodge, No. 1, A. O. U. W., at Meadville, Pa., Oct. 27, 1868. Therefore, this Oc- tober day 15 the strongest in popular- ity. » A growing sentiment in favor of holding o 50th anniversary celebra- the-founding of fraternalism on , 1918, may result in observing natibnally the bezinning of the great Active work by fratern: movement.

New London Corn Show last fall, with about eishty entries from ali over the cou by both men and boys, ten ears sclecteq by a Lebanon boy were adjudged the best exhibit in the hall and s year there are nine who are growing corn, four who are growing potatoes, fourteen who have gardens, nine who are caring for poultry, three who are doing home canning and for- ty-five have taken up sewing. These have taken up the work as laid out by the United States Department of Agriculture wifh defini directions and definite aims in view. In addi- tion to these there are quite a large number who have done some work at home suggested by the instruction re- celved in school, such as building and conducting a hotbed, putting down eggs in waterglass, destroying mos- quito breeding places and other sim- flar activities that sprang frem the agricultura] instruction in the school. Many of the lessons giso have been designed so that they will help the pupll taking up some one of the out- lined home projects. Those engaged In_ definite home projects have been visited by the supervisor about once & month, so that suggestions, advice and encouragement might be given. A comparison with last years work will show somewhat the progress of the work. There was a total enroll- ment in home projects last year of eighty-seven, and at this time thirty- eight had dropped out, leaving only forty-nine_engaged in home projects in July. This year there was an en- roliment of ninety-three with only eight withdrawals, leaving eighty-five engaged in home projects in July. An- of interest i3’ that le last year those engaged in the i seemed to be grouped in three sections of the town, this year they ere scattered quite evenly over the whole town. s A system school credit for home work would he a great help to the work, as it would =ive an added In- teresi to the pupils in home work and also help to connect it with work in &chool better. So far, however, a sys- tem that seems safe and practicable has not come to the notico of the su- pervisor. Something of this kind will be of great help in the work, but it must be thorough and fair to all. o Hanlon. The victors won by & narrow margin. As for social events which the lodge will hold this winter, noth- ing as vet has been decided but the ealertainment committee is busy. Short Calendar Matters.

To earn a certif pupil must read five books whi be selected from a list for the ent standards. This has brought the town library into_greater prominence with the schoois. If the boys and girls form the reading habit—reading that which is worth while—they will come to realize what a resource and advan- tage books are. They will have a de- sire to read essays, history, blograghy, science, geography, stories, cditorials and current events. Covering such a large fleld, the education will continue after leaving school, If such a reading habit can be formed the effort will not have been fn vain. Certificates for proficiency in first grade reading, wrifing for first and second grades and ' for proficiency in arithmetic in grades four and flve wore given to a greater degree than before. Miss Mary 1. Fisher was aporoved as a model school teacher and she con- ducted the school at the Center so that it was very helpful to the teach- ers of the town. A teaching demon stration was given at each teachers’ mecting and the school was_ visited arly by the teachers of the town. Teachers visited this school for the entire day with definite things to look for, as follows: Under management they were asked to note the grouping of grades, seat occupation, division of Are Conservative This Fall Nothing is extreme or bizarre —for all the modes of the sea- son are characterized by charming conservatism — the long and simple lines are re- lieved only by unique buttons or odd little belts and pockets.

Under recommendations for future action 1 wish to suggest the possibility of using the fund of the First school society, which now amounts io over §3,300, to erect a modern two-room building in the Center district. With o small additional appropriation from the town, a good building could be built. It will not be long, also, before mors room will be needed jn Chester- eld. Again as 3 furthem massmmandation. T would iike to suggest that, upon the completion of the new buildings in Palmertown and _Uncasville,.. With rooms planned for special work, and in view of the general educational ten- dency to introduce more practical courses for the majority of puplls, the school day to_be lengthened and the course of study in grades 7 and § be enriched by the introduction of defi- nite work in science, commercial arith- metio . and bookkesping, mechanical drawing, constructive geometry _and shop work, music, sewing and cooking. Inasmuch as a small percentage of Montville pupils graduate from high schools, it might be practicable to add one vear to the local course and en- courage all children to ryemain in school until the ninth grade has been completed.
