Principals of the Nor-
walk Schools Arranging for
an Eight Year Gourse In-
stead of Nine from itin-
dergarten tn liigli School
A meeting of the principals of the
Norwalk .achools was held last evening
at the home of Principal W. C. Foote.
Very important action was taken to-
ward shortening tbe course of school-
ing preparatory to entering the High
School. it is at present a nine-year
course from the kindergarten to the
High School department, but it Is be-
lieved that this work can be done in
eight years Just as satisfactorily and
save the pupils a- year. This was vot-
ed some time ago by the School Board
and the principals are preparing a
schedule of the studies which will-be
used in each of the grades. The en-
trance examinations to the High School
department will not be changed. The
principals who were at work on the
schedule last evening were W. C. Foote.
C. A. Tucker E. H. Gumbart and E.
:1. Lane. The result of their work will
be submitted to the school board for
approval or disapproval at an early
meeting, so that the new schedule may
be put into effect at the beginning of
September of the coming term.
This change will be accompanied by
a change In the time of the annual
graduation exercises which are at
present held at the commencement of
the Easter vacation.
it was found that this makes it very
inconvenient for pupils who live out of
town and attend the High School here
as they practically lose the time from
Easter to June as most of - the other
have their graduations in June.
Under the change of schedule there
will be exceptionally large classes to
enter the high school department in
September and its capacity will be
crowded to the utmost. it is believed
.Irat this will force the building of the
new High School at an earlier date.
Principal l-‘oote stated this morning
that he believed that the new pupils to
enter the High School would number
100 u'floh Is for in excess of the size
or- any class in the past.
_ The teachers are preparing for their
location and making plans how to
pend It. A number of them who live
our of town have already gone to their

foliage. Miss Helen Foley is to spend
her vacllon in the vicinity of Detroit,
.ilcliigan.
The teaching corps will sustain a
great loss in the resignation of Miss
c'tlsan S. Smith. who is soon to marry
City Engineer Hoyt. Miss Smith has
been a successful teacher. a skillful dis-
ciplinariaa. has been very resourceful
in her methods and has secured the
best results. Miss Harriet B. Raymond
her successor. has taught the higher
tepartment at the Winnlpauk School
.or several years with excellent results.
Since the list of teachers was pub-
isiied in The Sentinel several days
ago. three new ones have been secur-
ed for the South Norwalk schools. Two
if them. Misses May E. Raymond and
Helen W. Lynch, of Rowayton. gradu-
ited yesterday from the State Normal
School. New Haven. and the third.
Miss Mal Williams. graduated 'l‘nurs-
day from the Froebel Kindergarten. in
Jridgeport. and will be the assistant in
be Concord kindergarten.
Several of the teachers are planning
to attend the session of the National
.ddncational Association. to be held in
Boston. from July 6 to July 12.
Several other changes in the teach-
ing corps will be announced later with-
out doubt. but at present these
:hanges are not definitely known.
SAID T0 HAVETEASSAULTED Slap
Miss Jetta Preston, of West Nor-
waia. was arrested and brought before
Judge Taylor in the town court. this
mornin on a charge of assaulting her
lister. ra. Gilbert Chlchester. Jetta
it is claimed used her fists on Mrs.
Chichester two or three days ago. as
the most satisfactory way of settling
a domestic argument. Mrs. Chichester
wanted to teach her erring sister that
moral session is the better method in
such cases. so the arrest of Jetta was
accomplished. None of the testimony
was taken in the case and the matter
will come up Monday.

Iias ihird Place
NEW YORK, June 20—For the
fourth time this week the early morn-
Ing conditions for a yacht race between
the Reliance, Constitution and Colum-
bia were not particularly encouraging.
At dawn athick fog completely envel-
oped the Sound and what wind there
was came from the cost. not a favor-
able quarter for clear weather.
Still the members of the. Seawan-
bake-Corinthian Club. who had offered
a silver tankard as a prize for a race
in the Sound off Centre island. were
not cast down, and confidently predict-
ed that the wind would lift the fog be-
fore noon, giving the yachts a clear
course. a smooth sea and a fine breeze.
The spacious club house overlooking
the inland waters of Oyster Bay was
well filled with members and their
guests. while in the bay were anchor-
ed a dozen large steam yachts. Includ-
ing Commodore F. G. Bonnie's Dela-
ware, the flagship of the New York
Yacht Club.
it was generally conceded that the
Reliance would probably get the covet-
ed honor of defending the cup. al-
though many of the yachtsrncn seemed
to think that the coming raceh off
Newport would be a more conclusive
test for the yachts and that the condi-
tions there would be fairer than in the
Sound. with its light variable winds.
and Its traffic-vexed waters.
Tire conditions governing today's
race were similar to those which had
obtained on previous days. the regatta
committee. of the club having laid out.
a triangular course In the Sound, with
the start off Center island buoy. The
triangle, hours-var, was a small one. on-
ly 11% miles around. so that it seemed
to be the intention of the committee to
give the yachts more of a sail handling
contest than to develop speed.
. After the showers the weather clear-
ed. and the wind also breezed up from
the northwmt. At 11:30 it was blow-
ing eight or ten knots an hour.
The Reliance was the first to appear.
reaching Oyster Bay about 1] o‘clock.
while the Columbia came down from
Glen Cove under tow half an hour but
or. The Constitution. bowvver, was
late.
The committee waited half an hour
for the boats to get ready finally start-
ing them off at I2: .‘0. and they were
timed across the line as follows: (Un-
official).
Columbia—~12: 30: 36.
Reliance—12:30:54.
Ci)liSlllllthll-“l2230156.
The wind was blowing between six
and seven knots. from the eastward.
and the courseI was a reach three
miles to a steamboat anchored In the
middle of the Sound. a beat of four
miles to another stake boat. another
reach home of 4% miles. a total of
11% miles. with a repeat. making the
course 23% miles.
All the boats crossed the line with
leaching jlbtopsails set. The Columbia
was across first. but the Reliance came
up very rapidly and blanketing the
old cup defender. took the lead Immed-
iately. The Constitution seeing the
Columbia had little headway through
this manoeuvre. sought 'to rush by to
the leeward. Before she got clear,
however. the Columbia started up
again. and the two older boats began
a lufiing match. to the first mark. This
gave the Reliance a chance to pull
away from them rapidly. and she gain-
ed over a minute on the reach of three
miles to the first turn.
The Constitution tried in vain to get
by the Columbia. both to windward and
leeward. but the latter had just enough
headway to prevent her. The boats
Iriffed around the first mark and were
timed as follotvs: tilnoffcial).

Interesting Program In the Town Hall
Under the Direction of PrlhoIpIII
Perry and Wiiiaon.
The graduation exercises of the pub
lic schools of Noroton and Darlen were
held yesterday at the Darlen Town
Hall. They were excellent in every
way and reflected great credit upon
th graduates and upon those who have
guided them along the path to know-
ledge during the years that they have
attended the schools there.
William E. Street was chairman of
the exercises and the school board
was represented by a number of mem-
bers. Rev. Herbert S. Brown was the
acting school visitor. A large number
of persons were present to witness the
exercises and view the specimens of
the work done by the pupils during the

eleven members from the different
schools as follows: Misses Gertrude
Valentine, Ruth Ballard. Reva Scott,
Florence Dugdale, Adelaide Day, An-
nie Kane. Messrs. Albert Weed. 'r'heo-
dore Fairbanks. Harold Willinott, t’er-
cy Cantrell and Clarence Bouton. The
schools where were represented were:
Darlen Center School Noroton. Olen
brook, 0.x Ridge and District No 5.
Principals William E Perry and A.
C. Willson had arranged the exercises
and to them in a great measure is due
the success of the program which was
rendered. and which showed that the
capabilities of the pupils who graduat-
ed yesterday are above the average.
The program was as follows:
Chorus—Heller's American Hymn,
Noroton School Pupils.

excellent, and reflect great credit on
the artistic abilities of Miss Dugdaie.
who certainly has a promising future
before her as an artist.
The exhibits of school work were all
excellent. They comprised map draw-
ing. grammar work, writing, written
arithmetic and other studies. The hall
was handsomely decorated with dais-
lea, ferns and palms. and on one wall
was a handsome floral Inscription
"Noroton School." which had been
made by the pupils.
The musical accompanist was Fred-
erick S. Andrews of Norwalk. who did
excellent work at the piano.
