Mr. Rihbany, Principal H. T. Burr said that the rest of the world was copying Arer- ica’s civilization, but, Can Humanit; Be Civilized? which Mr. Rihbany will answer. S Rev, Mr. Rihbany peinted out that civilization was a disease and that no country could stand it for more than 1,000 vears.. Amerign skows symptoms of dying now, with its luxuries and -many specialists. What is civilization, from barbarism? It is the state of good men and women, and by good men and women.

In cooperation, we have made machinery and are turning from our spiritual goal to a material -one. -The speaker then spoke at length about machinery, admitting that he disliked it, saying -that “Al- though machinery. is. called labor sav- ing, the world-was never so busy as it is now, and there was. never:so. much machinery as thére is néw, He then congratulated -the graduatés on. their long studying for" the work. which they have set out to do-and charged them to continue in the noblé work.

While playing on the Horseshoe bridge Thursday morning at 10.20, Edward Wojeiek, the five.year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Wojeiek of 22 Lafayette street, 'was run over and killed by an automeobile, owned by Dr. F. E. Guild, of Windham, and driven | by his son. Allen Clark Guiid, age 20. The latter was released under $2,- 000, bonds on a charge of manslaugh- ter. 5 Accordihg to several adult wit- nesses, the car was going slowly at the time of the accident. Allen Guild, who was driving the eéar, said that the children were playing on the Lridge, and one of them ran in front of the car and was run over. He was blowing his horn all of the time. The child was rushed to the hospi- tal in the Guild car, but probably died before it reached the hospital. Medical Examiner C. E. Simonds was called and found that the child died of a fractured skull and had also re- ceived a fracture of the ankle. Guild gave himseif up to the: pélice, and after telling his story, a charge of manslaughter was entered against him. He was released under bonds of $2,000 which was furnished by s uncle, Elisha W. McGuire of Wind- ham. Officers from the police station went to the scene of the accident 'and made an investigation. Guild will be- given a hearing ‘ before the police court Friday morning at ® o'clock,’ end Coroner Bill will conduet an in- quest at 10 o’clock. The father of the child is employed in a bakery and the mother in a store. There are five other children, all under 15. The body was removed to Killourev Brothers’ morgue, await- ing the coroner’s, orders. New Principal. George H.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain t66 much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain musified cocoanut ofl, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats thé most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months., Simply moisten thé hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, ¢reamy lather, cleanses _thoroughly, and rinses out .
