It seems best that I should not at- tempt here to outline a school calen- dar for the coming year considering the fact that you are to have a new supervisor whose plans for the best interests of the schools can best be accommodated by a calendar made by him. Some principles that hold, how- ever, may be set forth here, Length of school da: For the chil- dren of the first grade or lower it is five hours, approximately two and one half hours each session. For pupils above the first grade it is six hours and on Friday afternoons may be shortened to five and one-half. On a school day when teachers’ meeting comes in the afternoon some ade for keep- ing the school in session for at least in which case the at- in the of two four hours; tendance should be recorded register as for a whole day sessions. In concluding my work with You to accept a larger position I wish to ex- press my appreciation of the co-oper- ation with which you, the teachers, pupils and townspeople have favored me, and I here bespeak the same good treatment ' for my successor, O. E. Lowell, who has been supervising oth- er towns of the state for the past sev- eral years and comes well qualified to hgndle the work of vour schools. BODY OF FAMOUS 3 GERMAN MAN FOUND. jeut. Vosse, Who Was Killed Sept. 23 in a Spectacular Combat. British Headquarters in France and Belgium, Monday, Oct. 1—(By The Assoclated Press).—The body of the famous German airman, Lieutenant Vosse, who was recently reported in a an _official communication as missing, "has Leen found within the British lines, and British airmen al- ready have dropped messages behind the German front giving notification of_his death. Vosse was killed Sent. 23 while en- gaged in a spectacular combat with a British airman. He died fighting determinedly and magnificently. " It is a peculiar coincidence that the famous French airman, Captain Guynemer, lost his life about the same time in battle over enemy territory and was reported missing until the Germans found and identified his body The opponent of Vosse is one of the most brilliant British aviators, who for the purposes of this narrative may be referred to as Brown—not his real name. Here is the story A number of British planes were patrolling on the 23d, flving at a height of 7,000 feet, when one of them was Aattacked by a German red-nosed Alba- tross and a triplane. It-appeared later the pilot of the tri- plane.. Two other planes rushed and engaged these two, with a third enemy scout who appeared on the scene. About 11 other enemy ai planes were waiting at a distance to join in the fray, but did not attack, as some 10 British planes were cir- cling about keeping them off. The third enemy scout. who had joined in the combat. vanished, but the Albatross and the triplane fought in wonderful form. Brown singled out the triplane and a hard fizht ensued. Brown got in a number of good bursts from his machine gun and several times Lad to change drums on the gun, so furiousiy was he firing. For a lonz opponents circled, dived and mano: for po- sition. and so.close w at times that only a few inches separated their wings. Eventually Brown got a little above Vosse and made for German machine gun steadilv all the time. Vosse passed Brown's inches and dived. Then the airman wheeled into p: m and ob served the German gliding westward with his engine shut off. e dived again and got a good shot at his op- ponent: then followed this with a heavy burst frem his gun. and Vosse did a slight right hand turn and con- tinued to go down until he disapp ed He flew awa his opponent hecome of not been or what had him. jana the b | Hartford_—Party o | wages in other places partly because of the try for war | lice department 60 men. ng to high of brsiness s $50 $110 $250 The Highest Class Talking Machine in the World “THE INSTRUMENT OF QUALITY onoy CLEAR AS A HIS magnificent instrumeént has a tone of extraordinary clarity, expresslveness and purit; At the Panama—Pacific Ex- position the Sonora won high- est score for tone quality.
