its Various Districts. '

Preliminary steps to: the‘establirh-
meat of a Town High School were taken
at the monthly meeting of the Board of
School Visitors. held last night at the
Normlk office of the selectmen.

The subject was introduced by John
11. Light, of South Norwalk, who sug-
geemd'that a petition be sent to the eel-
ectmen, requesting them to put in the
call for the annual town business meet-
,ing a clause for the establishment of a

’ Town High School. He said that, if the
town did not care to appropriate money
for 'n High School building, a suitable
one could probably be rented, perhaps
the old Selleck school building in East
avenue.

Mr. Dunning favored the idea, as such
' a plan would relieve the over crowded
departments of the public schools.

Mr. Blanchard thought the conditions
for the establishing of a High School
were more favorable now than ever be-
fore.

Mr. Light then moved that the Board
of School Visitors request the selectmen
to put in the call for the annual town

“ meeting a clause calling for a vote upon
the establishment of a Town High
School under Chapter CXXXVIII , of
the General Statutes.

After a discussion of the motion, it
was passed unanimously. It was also
the opinion of the members of the Board
that they should do all in their power to
push the idea to a successful issue.

PresidentKeith presided at the meeting,
and Secretary Dunning was clerk. The
other members of the Board present were

,Messrs. Light, Blanchard and Olmstead.

The 'High School matter being dispos-
ed of, the question of the enumeration in
thefilroad River and Center school dis-
tricts, deferred from the last meeting,
was taken up.

Mr. Dunning reported that he had
laid the matter before the selectmen for
investigation; that, while they thought
there must be some mistake in the de-
crease of eighty in the enumeration of
the Centre district there was no law
under which they could order it taken

over again.

The petition of Aaron Smith to allow
his children to attend the Center school,
which was refused at the last meeting
of the Board, was reconsidered and the
request was granted. Discussion
brought out the fact that the children had
been attending the school for some time
previous to the application to the Board.
Mr. Olmstead criticised this course. He
said all principals should be censured for
allowing children to attend their schools
from other districts before the required
permission was obtained; it seemed 1111 ii
the principals actually defied the Board.

The annual report of Heeretary Dun-
ning was read and approwd by the
meeting. Besides the usual data of 11p-
propriations for the support of schools
and the action of the joint board meet-
ing, there was a report of the Acting
School Visitors to the secretary and
some pertinent remarks upon school
matters by the secretary himself.

The unexpended balance from the
school appropriation for the year was
030.82, making the net cost of mainte-
nance “2.11111 .117, an increase of 11.111115?
over last year. The evening schools cost
the town, last year, 11111101111. Through
their agency thirty-three foreigners
were taught to read and write the Bug-
lilh language. in addition to over one
hundred other pupils. In the different
districts 011,111? was raised for interest
money and repairs. The total value of
school property in the town is placed at
9111,300'13119 indebtedness is $171,811)

The enumerated scholars in attend
Ines was 4,811, an increment forty-eight
over last year. The average number of
children in private schools was 1124.

The reports from the Acting i-lchooi
Visitors included 11 verbal one from A.
E. Austin, who retired last year and
madehllrspert in 11 few words. His
districts were Cranbury. West florwaik.
Grater and East Nmalk. All were
well manned. and gm discipline pre-
vailed. From 11 poi-Iona visit, secretary
Dunning 11:111. he was well pleased with
the routine work, but the East Nor-walk
school was over-crowded and he was de.

the South and Middle Five Mile River
districts, both in Mr. Light's territory,

in each school.

, In his personal report, Secretary Dan-
ning spoke in terms of highest praise of
the public schools of‘Norwalk and the sill.

oient corps of principals and teachers.

He favored a High School building. In
referring to the failure of the proposed
consolidation of school districts, ho sug-
gested a measure so that the smaller dis-
tricts should share in the benefits of the
larger ones, and at the same time be
stimulated to greater efforts. He rec-
ommended that the Acting School Visit-
ors be authorized, by a town meeting.

to give advanced scholars from the
suburban districts certificates, up-
on tboir passing a preparatory
examination admitting them to the high-

est departments of the lac-get schools
for a High School education.

Mr. Dunning also called attention to
the wonderful progress of our schools
for the past twenty years, both in build

lugs, methods of teaching, and in tin-
many new devices and departments to
stimulate thevintercst of the pupil, es-
pecially the patriotic exercises and the
display of “old glory." He urged the
ctr-operation oi’ the parents, and thought
Norwalk should be proud of her schools
and the free education at a cost of but

$13 per pupil.

THE COMING UP THE KING.

Dudley Buck's Cantata Rendered for the Bene—
iii of the Hermit Hospital.

A delightful rendition of Dudley
Buck's cantata, "The Coming of the
King,” preceded by a concert of rare ex-
cellence, was given in the First Congre-
gational church last night, under the
direction of Miss Gertrude Camp
and Miss Ellie Lane, for amost praise-
worthy object—tho Norwalk Hospital
fund. The concert was attended bya
large audience, which spoke only words
of praise at the close of and during the
evening's entertainment. The chorus
was composed of carefully selected
voices and the soloists were musical
artists of renowned ability. To praise
an individual number would be to praise
the performance in its entirety.

The Concert, which preceded the can-
tata, consisted of the following num-

For some time the firm of Lounsbary,
Mathewson 85 Co. has missed shoes from
its factory. The matter was reported to
the South NorWalk police, and the New
York authorities were notified to look
out for anyone who might have stolen
shtics in their possession.

Saturday a detective found in Poll
street, a young man who had several
odd shoes. When arrested, he claimed
that ho had purchased the shoes at an
auction. His room was searched and
other articles were found.

Yesterday Chief of Police Vollmer and
Lewis R. Hurbutt, of the firm of Loans-
bury, Mathewson 15'; (31).. went to New
York and identified the shoes. They al-
so 'viSitod the tombs, and out of a dozen
prisoners Chief Vollmer picked out as
the thief a young man whom he had
seen in South Norwalk last week. This
identification proved to be right, as the
man admitted being in town. He denied
that he was atliief, but said he had been
in Bridgeport jail. He was recognized
by the New York authorities as a pick-
pooket, who had been in jail before. He
gave his name as Ernest J. Smith. of
East Bridgeport.

How the shoes got out of the factory
111 a mystery. Those which were rec-nu
