and by 8 o'clock, the time that find
been set for the entertainment to be-
gin, the lecture room was tilled. fully
two hundred being in attendance. The
guests were met by members of the
club, who gave them a most cordial
greeting. Many were costumes of Co-
lonial days, and the bright colors of
the ladies and gentlemen added great.
1y to the effect produced by the decor-
ations. which were. in keeping with the
celebration of Washington's birthday.
The cliib had spent much time on the
decorations. which consisted of Ameri-
can flags. both large and small. sig-
unis. streamers and pennants. The
entire length of the balcony was taster
fully draped with blue and white bunt-
ing. in the center of which was a flag
arranged in the shape of a butterfly.
lli back of and also to the loft of tho
platform hung large American tings.

The entertainment was of a high or-
der. and each participant deserved the
applause received.

w. J. Leland. an honorary member
of the club. acted as chairman and
gracefully performed the duties that
devolved upon him as sucii. The mat
number on the program was an address
of welcome by Archer ll. Jennings.

Not Within Their Province to PM
scribe Books for the High Depart-
ments—nNew Bill Before the
* Legislature.
The members of the Board of School
Visitors. both individually nml collect-
ively. are having troubles of their own
just at present over the free school
book and supply question. Parents
have in some instances refused to buy
books for their children. while in one
instance a pupil was suspended. and
in another the father nought the books
and has tarefuiiy preserved the bills
for presentation to the selectmen when
he is ready to demand a settlement.
The matter was discussed pro and
con at the monthly meeting of the
iionid, last evening. but no definite so-
lution of the ditiiclilty was reached.
School Visitor A. C. Graham broac‘n'
ed the subject by inquiring as to what
was the extent of the vote taken by
the town concerning free school books
and supplies. as regarding the high
school departments of the several dis-
trict schools.
He said that Joseph A. Volk had iii-
formed him that his boy was a student
in the High School branch at South
Norwalk. He said he was a taxpayer
and that he had voted for free text
books. yet when his boy made applica-
tion for books they were not forthcom»
inn. Mr. Volk said he refused to buy
the books. and his boy was suspended
from school for a few days. Finally
llic boy was notified that he could use
books at the school. and he returned.
"The other parent." continued Mr.
Graham. "was Matthew Corbett. lie
was not quite so radical as Mr. Volk.
for he purchased books under protest
and has the bill on tile. for presentation
to the town. There are still others
who think the same as Mr. Volk and
Mr. Corbett. and they claim they will
hold the board itignny responsible for
the failure to supply books."
Mr. Graham stated that he had in
formed these persons that it was the
cont-ensue of opinion of the llourd that
there was no legalized High School.
and in consequence the Board had no
authority in this matter until it was
adjusted by legislation.
President 8. 8. Keith remarked that.
the law prescribed that only books
should be furnished as [ll‘l‘St‘rlbutl by
the lloard of School Visitors. and as
llll‘ Board had prescribed no books for
the alleged lligh Sit-hold departments.
he did not see very well how there
could be any difficulty if the public
understood the matter promrly.
School Visitor Arthur C. Wilcclcr lii
toriiicd the board that School Visitor
.loliii ll. Light had already (HY! rod n
l't‘Htlllllltlll in the l..cgislatnrc putting
thc high schools upon a icgnl basis.
The bill provided for the furnishing of
frcc icxt books and also gave the sc-
lcclnicn power to establish a Central
High School. lie said there was op
position to the bill unless it was sub-
mitted to the people of the town,
School Visitor A. Blanchard ex~
plaincd that as soon as the town voted
l‘rcc school books the lloard found It
sclf iii a position to go ahead. as the
lower grades of llic town schools had
already adopted a uniform system of
study. in the High School depart
iiiciits iii the various schools there is
no uniform system of studies and dif
tort-iii books are used in the different
so-cniicd High School branches.
The School Visitors have never auth-
til‘lZi'il ally books for this department.
tlic scvcrni districts having chosen
their own systems of study. Until a
universal system was authorized and
adopted. Mr. lllnilchnrd did not see
how llio School Visitors could furnish
books to any greater extent than at
prcncnt. Mr. lllancliurd said that an
dcr the bill submitted by Mr. Light.
cstnbilshim: a Town High School. the
liiaiiagi-mcnt devolved upon the Board
of School Visitors. The iiill makes
the High School an independent lnsti»
lotion and authorised the solcctnicii
to procure a site and erect a school
building.
School Visitor Graham thought that
t‘\'t’|‘,V town should have its central
high school.

twenties of the failure to‘siippiy High
School department books. and that
there had been many threats made that
children would be taken out of school.
The other matters discussed by the
board were of a routine nature.
Mr. Wheeler notified tho Board of a
resolution to be offered by him at the
next meeting. fixing a supplementary
course of reading for the first and sec-
ond year.
Mr. Wheeler reported favorably my
on the application of Mrs. ll. F. Sher-
wood to send her daughter Edith to
the Center school. The application
was granted.
There was an informal discussion as
to the distribution of the school sup-
ply system. and Mr. Wheeler reported
the adoption of reuninltionblsniis to
