Wright, Michie and Terry were discharg- ed from service at Fort Wright Mon- day and an equal number was to be dis- eharged Tuesday. The men discharged ‘were those who had applied for release under the terms of instructions received frém Washington that the force at the Sound coast defense stations must be eat down. The cut in the force is in accordance with the action in congress in reducing the army from 225,000 to 150,000. Applications for discharge wers re- ceived from about 150 men stationed at the island forts. These applications g0 to corps headquarters at Boston, where they are either approved or disapproved, and returned to Fort Wright. Applications will be released as their applications are returned from Boston, and it is expected that every man who has applied will be released from service by the end of the present week. The reduction of the island forts will leave the three important posts with only a couple of hundred men.

Wilcox Reports To Hospital Trustees The , trustees of the Norwich State Hospital met for their annual meeting at. the hospital on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. The annual business of the trustées was . transacted and several of the new projects at the hospital which include the laving of the water main connecting the hospital with the city wa- ter .supply, the purchase of the Daw- ley property. and the installing of a new boiler to give more heat and power to the " hospital, were under discussion. Dr. Franklin S. Wilcox, superintendent, made. his annual report which Showed that much had been accomplished dur- ing. the past year an that the hospital had ' never Before been in such excellent condition. In is report he sald that 4,000 feet of the pipe line from the hospital to the city line on Laurel Hill avenue had been laid and that for the protection of the public: three guards had been sta- tioned along - te line of work. These guards- direct -the traffic and perform an excellent service in keeping the traffic moving witheut danger of . accident. The purchase ‘of the Dawley property although the iransaction has not been closed will add. a 'large acreage to the hospital+ preperty on the south side of the main grounds. New buildings are to be erected for which an appropriation of $50,000 has been made. ¥ The new boiler to be installed will be of 400 h. D. capacity and provide more adequate: heating .and power facilities that will be needed when the new build- ings are erected and occupied. The new psychopathic ward has been opered daring the past few weeks and although not filled to capaciky there are many patients there and the ward is proving a great success. The new tubercular ward is to be opened during the next week. The ward has long been needed as many cases of a tubercular nature come to the state hospital and can be cared for under the best of circum- stances. This ward is admirably situ- ated on high ground to the southeast of the main hospital buildings and is mod- ernly equipped for the combating of the disease, A 3 Another thing that is planned is the irrigation of the hospital grounds from the hospital's own reservoir. This will not take place until the pipe line con- necting the hospital with the city supply has been completed. i There was a report rom the visiting committee, Ex-Governor Woodruff and Attorney Arthur F. Libby, which showed that in their inspection of the hospital they were much pleased with the way the affairs of the institution were being conducted. ~ After the meeting the trus- tees inspected the hospital and grounds and ‘the nmew buildings that are in the process of erection and other improve- e hereci it he renidence oF Dr. Wilcox at 2 o'clock at which manv of the wives of the trustees were pres- ent.

CHRISTIAN EXDEAVOR CONVENTION MOST SUCCESSFUL GATHERING The local delegates to attend the worlds Christian Endeavor convention in New York from July 6 to 11th have re- turned with reports of a wonderfully im- pressive and inspiring series of meetings. Eight made up the Norwich party, com- ing Albert and Carl Brend, Rev. J.| Carlevale, Miss Eugenie Dean, Miss beth Williams and Miss Harriet liams, all of the Central Baptist church, Mrs. Bishop of Lebanon and Miss Florence Bennett of the First Con- gregational church, Norwich Town. With the closing message of Dr. Fran- cis E. Clark, founder of the movement, the sixth world’s Christian Endeavor con- vention passed into history as the largest and most successful religious gathering of young people at any time. The sessions were held at the Seventy- first Regiment armory, Wwith overflow meetings in the Marble Collegiate, Brick Presbyterian, Madison Avenue Baptist, First Moravian and many other churches. In the course of the sessions 60 evan- gelistic teams. recruited from the young felegates, held noon meetings in Wide and varied sections ‘of the city. The largest of these, upon the sub-treasury | steps in Wall street, with the music led by Home- Rodeheaver and his _trom- wone, with John McNeil and John Pollock speaking, @rew thousands. "On Satutlay afternoon the Endeavor- ers paraded up historic Fifth avenue, 12,000 in line, practically every marcher in costume, with a series of more than a dozen floats picturing the principles ot Christian Endeavor. Federal Commi ioner of Immigration Frederick A. Wal- dis, chairman of the committee o rangements, led the parade. W Jennings Bryan and Dr. and Mrs. Fran- cis E. Clark rode at the head of the pro- cession in an automobile. All the united society officers and local committee chairmen were in line. Blase New York admitted the parade to be the most pic- turesque and orderly parade ever knowp to a city familiar with countless parades. A motion picture camera man in a police tower ran out of film and expressed his disgust profanely: “Who'd a ever thought it'd be &ood!” Pageantry and the colors of many fands marked practically every session.| A separate junior’ world’s convention en-| colled more than 1,600 registrations in addition to the 14,000 registered dele-| zates to the main convention. The Kid-| dies conducted their own sessions, then presented a dramatic pageant at the armory. The missionary committee filled the armory theatre with an exhibition in} which 25 denominational boards co-oper-| ated. A missionary pageant on Sunday| afternoon brought the messages of the| foreign countries, of which not one in the | world teday is without Christian En- deavor. On Thursday evening a mis- sionary tea was. held in Chinatown and more than 1,000 Endeavorers were the| guests of New York city Christian En- deavor societies. An alumni banquet was. held at thé fotel Majestic with 1,400 at table. Two state conventions were held in Fifth ave- aue churches, each with 1,000 Endeavor- ers in attendance. Three simultaneous quiet hour sessions Started each morn- ing's session, led by such outstanding rigures as Dr. David James Burrell. Dr.| William Hiram Foulkes and Dr. E. L. Reiner. In the second period of each morning more than 20-leadership training courses were conducted on various departments DERWILLO The Famous Beautifier Have you tried it yet?

COMMERCE CHAMBER STUDYING SCHOOL PROBLEMS Attention of the members of the Nor- wich Chamber of Commerce was di« rected to local public school affairs by a pamphlet received Tuesday from the Bureau of Education of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States. The pamphlet, which also has been submitted to fourteen hundred other trade and commercial organizations connected with the National.Chamber, calls upon business men everyvwhere “to aid actively in bringing the local schools to a high plane of effective- ness.” The pamphlet announces that it is the intetion of the National Cham- ber’s Bureau of Education to issue four other pamphlets dealing with various phases of the public schools with the idea of stimulating the interest of Am- erican busimess men in school matters. The four succeeding pamphlets will deal with: Buildin and Equipment, Health and Physical Education, The Teacher and Laws and Administration. Question blanks will be sent out with the pamphlet to aid local committees in assembling and tabulating Informa- tion. After this school data is gather- ed and compiled by the National Cham- ber it will be disseminated so that it will be possible,to compare the situa- tion in one city with that in another. The initial pamphlet points out that the future welfare of American busi- ness and the efficiency of -the Am- erican public school are bound togeth- er, and that American business will suffer as long as ignorance prevails, Here are some interesting facts con- cerning the American public schools contained in the pamphlet: “Out of every hundred pupils who enter public schools, only fifteen get through high school and fewer than three finish college. “More than five million persons, three million of whom are native born over ten years of age, can neither read nor write the simplest words. “It is estimated that four times that number cannot read a newspaper or write a letter. 2 “Illiteracy is costing the United States $852,000,000, annually, through accidents and inefficiency. “There are more than thirteen mil- lion foreign born in the United States today, five million of whim cannot read or write the English language and two million of whom are illiterate. | “At least forty per cent of our ele- mentary school classes are so large that the individual child cannot be Elven necessary care and personal in- struction. “The average child enrolled in the public schools attends 120 days dur- ing the school term or about three-| fourths of the time. Absence costs the United States $195,000,000 annually. “About 125 teachers, out of a total of 650,000 leave the profession annual- ly and their places are filled by inex- perienced people. “The percentage of men teachers in the United States has fallen from forty-three per cent to twenty per cent. Che public schools of the United States cost about $760,000,000.” Slip-overs Sport Models Dressy Styles S B ‘ S B E is to take care of your health, If you get out of sorts, head heavy and weary with sick stomach, it is usu- ally constipation—a system clogged with waste and poisonous matter.

Based on the annual report of the secretary of the interior for 1918, Con- necticut has 100,000 acres of cut-over land, and consequently the Washington bureau has allotted 24,000 pounds of picric acid for the Nutmeg state. The Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs has been communicated with, and the department will act through that college in the distribution of the explosive. The state farmers will have until May 1, 1922, to avail themselves to this offer. The picric acid will be sold at a resonable rate to the farmers and oth- ers for agricultural purposes, but no more than 1,000 pounds w be sold to any one person.
