Made Pcssible Through New Fund Created by State Law. has the Hef ing 203, the A new state law has provided a fund of about $600 for the town of Bozrah and this fund entirely covers the ad- vance in salaries which is to be paid ihe teachers in that town this year. No extra expense will be laid upom the town by this inerease, says H. Palmer in his_annual report as secretary.of ibe town school committee. The re- port is as follows: | The year 1917 completes the sixth yéar of management of the town schoojs by the present sciool commit- tee. 1t seems to the committee that much improvement has been made during that time. This has been due m a large measure to the supervisors ¢mpioyed and_paid by the state. We bave been very fortunate in the super- visore assigned to us. They have &ys- tematized the schools so that the same books are now used in cvery district and the same work is being done; con- sequently when a child moves from one district to amother he does not heve to purchase a new set of books and he loses .no time, but continues with the warl of the grade of the former school. Since so many childrer leave school at the age of 14, no school time shouid he fost. It is of the utmost.importance that each ehild should -he in school every ‘dav punctuajly at the openink time. Every parent should appreciate thi= fact. Our expenses for schools n- crease every year. The cost of run- ming them is the same whether the cildren attend or not, but no child can get his fair share of the sum spent unless he is in schoel throughout every se: It has been the policv of the comm tee to keep all the buildings in repair. It appears that th statec board have certain prejudices in resard to the equipment, repairing and general sur- roundings of the rural schools. We have found by observation and experi- ence that pays in actual dolla nd cents to mive some little aftenticn to the prejudices of the state hoard. Fach year the expense of atten at the Nerwich Academy grows. casts $69 a vear o. $2i5 for the four yoare. The ctate pays half the ex- pense. but even half the sum 1s a burden to the town since we now have 12 of mure children vear.” It s th i it Any suz- gestions: about this matter service. L Our _teache: will be ‘sratefully received by the committee The item of supplementary reading or books for school libraries needs a few words. The state pays $35 a vea: for this purpose, provided the town pays a like sum. Many children iegve school at 14: whatever education they get after this age must come from experience and reading chiefly. Few people read much unless the habit isj formed in school days. The use of the | books purchased iwith the fund men- tioned helps greatly to form this hab- it. The books aré used in conn:cticn | with the régular school lessons in road- | ing, geography, history and current events. From a thoughtful reading of well chosen books children lear1 io be kind, unseifish and helpful. It seems as if the value of such reaaing matter could not be overestimated. Our_town is fortunate in jts tesch- ers. They have all been hard work ng, faithful an defficient. We regret very much the resignation of Miss Mary McCarthy, who has -taught at ville for 15 years. The committe would like to take this opportunity o publicly thankl these years of faithful a untiring have been paid less han th almosi any other town in the state. This has heén of course because our finances have always been very small. This year, however, by a new state law, our town will have a new fund of about $600. This fund entire. Iy covers the advance in salary which 1 sto be paid the teachers this year. No extra expense will be laid upon the town by this increase. The townspeople have the grateful thanks of the -school éommittee for their support and- co-operation in all efforts toward the improvement of the schools. In part, the repert of the supervisor, John A. Young, -follows: The average attendance as finally determined is. 119.944. Last year the average attendarice was 126.75. On the whole the attendance was very good. The number of tardy cases might be reduced, for there seems to .he no good reason getting into the abit of com- ing late to school. The following were perfect in attendance for the entire vear: Bozrah street, Clarissa Chapman and Mildred rand TLefingwell, Kathertne Taylor and Robert Risley. In all essential details the Bozrah schools met the minimum requirements €0 far as buildings are concerned. The results of having the stoves removed to the northwest corner and jacketed and the placing of window boards have ustified all claims made for these im- provements. During the summer all closets should he.sereened. Sinks with satisfactory drains. should be placed. in all entries and a good supply of water provided. With the exception of the Lefingwell school, all ethers are so located that consolidation would be an easy matter. Children might be transported to the scheol in Fitchville, which could be enlarged to accommodate all pupils. Four rooms in the Fitchville school would be sufficient to accommodate all children. This arrangement wouid give better training since teachers would have fewer grades. The cost of main- tenance would be reduced. Supervision would becerte more affective since less time would be spent in traveling. The cost of transportation would be a large item and there would of course: be some objection to the plan, but on the whole the project-ik quite feasible. Thé revised course of study was made the basis of the work through- out the year. At the beginning of the fall term new plan books were ra- quired of the teachers. At the close of the year no objection to the use of plan books was made by any of the teachers. buf on the other hand all had found them very helpful in making the work definite. Navy Recruiting Station Open. The recruiting officer in charge of the navy reeruiting’ station at Stare and Eradiey stréets, New London, has been authorized -to accept applicants for the rating of apprexntice seamen, firemen, mac! electricians, hos- pital apprentices, cooks and bakers. On July 16th, an order was received at this station allowing no enlistments of apprentice seamen, firemen, elec- tricians or- hospital corps men, with the result that many an applicants for the above mentioned rates, was very much disappolnted when informed that this station had no authority to accept them. This will be welcome news to appii- cants for the rating of apprentice sea- man, of which there were many, the age limit being from 18 to 25. the age limit of others is from 18 to 35. SECOND LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED HER® Local Committee Receives General In- formation in Regard to Fletation. A meeting was held Thursday af- ternoon in the directors’ room of the Norwich Savings Soctety, of the gen- eral committee and the executive board of the Norwich branch of the Woman's Committee of the Counefl of National and~ State Defense, for the purpose of giving to the commit- toe sqne general information as to tne present Liberty Loan flogation. Mrs. Albert Chase called the meeting to order and after the roll call, gave a list of the women in New Eng- iand, and of Connecticut in particular, who' are raising the Liberty loan. Two new members were added, Mrs. J. B. Stanton, representing East Great Plain, and Miss FElizabeth Sullivan, representing the William W. Backus Nurses' Alumni, and Miss Paddock, representing the Community *Canning club. Every member of the commit- tee for whom it was possible, was present, there being twenty-one out of twenty-five there. Mrs. Chase announced that Dean Brown of Yale was to be the prin- cipal speaker at a mass meeting to be held possjbly on Oct. 16. Norwich is indeed fdrtunate in securing so brilliant a_spezker and a man of such superb ability_and_tremendous grasp of his subject as Dean Brown. Charles R. Butts then addressed the meeting on the subject of the present Liberty bond. He said, Our country needs the money, Where there are thousands of .salesmen, there should be millions. A Liberty bond is the best security in the world. The cred- it of the United States is the best in the world. Before the war ,we were in debt, but that is all liquidated now and the world owes us. ‘We have loaned the allies two and a quarter hillions. The proceeds of the present Liberty loan will be spent in this country for the food, arms, etc., will be bought here .and in that way the money comes back to us. It stablizes all se. curities. We shall have to give one- half of our income to the government in taxes or loans. Which shall it be? These honds are at four per cent., in- terest due May and Novémber. Two per cent. may be_ paid with the Sub- scription, 18 in November. 40 in_De- cember and” 40 in January' (Thev are 10-25 year hond. fiayflhle at latest in 25 years or may be taken up by the government in 10 vears.

The second Liberty loan which will Dbe called by the secretary cf the treas- ury some time this fall, will be a re- inforcement by the people of tho Tnited _States of -their belief in the principle for which the army and the navy of the United Statés are now fighti Tt will be the registration of the people’s trust. ere @re two ways by which any sovernment may raise money, by taxation and by bond issues.

It is the mafest, surest steadiest investment that man or man can make today, Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. The Woman’s Liberty loan commit- tee, appointed by the secretary of the treasury to direct the activities of wo- men in the sale of the Liberty bonds, has inaugurated a nation-wide cam- mn t the promotion of the next e of the Liberty loan. ’ It is the aim of the Woman’s Lib- erty Loan committee to interest every woman in the United States in Lib. erty bonds and to sell into every home in the land. To this end the comimit- tee urges every woman not yet con- nécted with a liberty loan org: tion to attach hefself to the one which will be established in het community, and if the community has not yet such an organization, to communicate with the chairman of her state. In this way every American woman may be- come an active agent in the purchase of bonds which will provide for the food, shelter —and maintenance of American sallors, soldiers and ma- rines, and at the same time make for herself an investment paying her higher interest than the usual savings account, and one which is guaranteed by the resources of the government of the United States, the richest nation in_the world, The campaign for selling the bonds is now on and throughout the country thousands of women armed with pink tickets hope for an enthusiastic re- sponse to their invitatlon to invest in a new Liberty Loan Bond. Let us hope their efforts to do thelr bit for their country in this way will meet with the encouragement they antici- pate. §ococ SODALITAS CLUB IS KNITTING FOR SOLDIERS Broadway Chutch Organization Expect to Provide Many Articles This Win- ter. wo- The regular meeting of the Sodalitas club of the Broadway Church was held Monday evening with President Miss Lena Lautenbach, presiding.
