HIGH SCHOOL. PROGRESS.
At the last meeting of the board

of the High school'building commit-

the school board that the committee

is also pleasing to note the general

Dr. Kendall .was of the opinion that
about all that was needed to make the
job complete is the installation of a
vacuum cleaner. He heped some an-
gel would furnish such an apparatus.
He also remembered the flag. The

EASY TO SETTLE.
As a rule. business dealings with
Ridgedel’d people are pleasant, but It
looks as if that town‘s selectmen are
quibbling too much over a very small
matter between Ridgetield and the
town of Norwalk. Ridgeileid has sev-
eral, pnpils enrolled at the Norwslk
High school, and when the bill was
sent up for their tultIOn. the select-
inen declined to honor It forthwith. in-
stead. they demanded that the town of
Norwalk return an Itemized account.

tended. and make deductions for sh-
sent periods. Naturally, the town of
Norwalk did nothing of the sort." The
bill has been turned over to the town
counsel, and there it is now, and is
still unpaid.
But—the Ridgelleld pupils are still
attending the Norwalk High school.
with the last your bill unpaid. There
is s. very easy ,method of disposing of
any future trouble on this score. The
pupils can be sent back to Ridgeiield
and told to remain there. until the so
Iectmcn of their town pay the last
yearblli. indeed, It is not unlikely
that'this course will be taken if
the matter is not speedily adjusted.
It is hardly to be believed that . tho
howls of Ridgeileld will stand by
their selectmcu. in their present atti-
