School Supt. Urges Inspec-
tion on Thursday, Friday
" and Saturday.

For the public exhibition of the

work done during the school year.
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday of
next week have been set aside by the
«superintendent of the schools as the
tdoys upon which parents are urged to
visit the rooms in which their child-
vrcu attend and view their work.
, At two o'clock on the afternoons
of these days you may see the vari-
ous school rooms literally filled with
school work. There will be on dis-
'play samples of practically every
kind of work .done in the schools.
capable of being represented on
blackboard. on paper. or with hand-
-craft materials.

\Vedncsday will be visiting day at
Franklin. North Center. Marvin.
Knudsen, Over River and \Vinnipauk.
Thursday will find Center. Pitch.
Cranbury. Lincoln. Rowayton and
Washington observing open house.
while Friday has been saved for Jet-
ferson. Broad River. Concord. Brook-
side. Putnam and \i’est Norwalk.

On the visiting afternoon of her
particular school. each teacher. ac-
companied by a. few of her pupils will
be in her school room to welcome
parents and assist them in finding
the work of pupils in whom they are
especially interested.

These days have been set. aside to
let parents sec collectively samples of
school work as it is done from time
to time during the vear. Moat reo-
ple harbor the delusion that visiting
schools is prohibited. Every school
day is a. visiting day and parents ale
always welcome to come in and see
how the work is moving on. They
‘owo to themselves as taxpayers. to
‘thsir children and to the community
at large to know something of the
-schoal life of their town. from per-
sonal inspection and not. be wholly
'dependent upon casual remarks.
' There would be less cilticisms of mod-
-orn school methods. if parents took
-the time to study them out and per.
' sonally \isit the schools. People have
always been more inclined to criticize
an institution than to commend. And
'this is especially true of teaching
~methods with which they are totally

unfamiliar.

Connecticut Dry
Agents Watch Efl'ect
of New York Repealer

State officials couldn't tell today
what effect the repeal of the Mullah-
Cage liquor enforcement act in New
York would have on prohibition in
Connecticut.

Officials. however. express a count-
er-view. although they are reluctant
to express their opinions as to the
effect the virtual "prying cc of the
lid" in New York would have here.

“It is too early yet to predict just
what effect upon the Connecticut situ-
ation the repeal of the New York stats
law is going to have." said Prohibi-
tion Enforcement Director Frank T.
Putnsy of Guiiford. when questioned.
“Repeal of the New York state law
doesn't necessarily mean that the lid

Carefully preserved in the Phoenix
Engine company and Pioneer Hook e
Ladder compo quarters on :Main
street are man interesting relics of a
past age. Among the relics are sev-
eral fire trumpets presented. in some
cases .to the tips companies for splen-
did service in fighting big tires in the
history of Norwalk.

Ask a volunteer fireman of today
what a. are tgpmpet is used for and he
will probably reply. “to carry fiowe'rs
to a funeral." In years gone by. how-
ever. the trumpet 'was an important
piece of equipment in each and every
fire department“ It was part of the
colorful regaiia of the volunteers and
the possessor of a trumpet would just
as soon forgot to bring a hose nozzle
in answering an alarm as to leave the
trumpet behind him.

The Phoenix-Pioneer companies
boast the. ownership of five of these
trumpets. dating back to- 1860.

While one of tho trumpets was‘ an
out-right gift. the others were won by
feats of strengfi or presentng a splen-
did appearance in). fireman’s parade
on these occasions which may be rec-
ollected by the older residents of the
city.

One of the trumpets was presented
the Pioneer Hook & Ladder company
by the proprietor of the old Gazette
Building for the efforts of the- com-
pany In arresting the names which
threatened to destroy the structure on
February 26. i862. Another was pre-
sented the guns company by the
Harry Howard Hook and Ladder com-
pany‘ of Portchester. N. Y. This we
the reward for having the urges.
number of firemen in a parade who
prosented’ths beet appearance. A third
trumpet was the gift of ‘the Central
Labor Union at’a picnic held by that
organization at which the Pioneer tire-

in the center of the accompanying pic-
ture. This was the gift of Mr. and
Mrs. E. V. A.'Chichester and was pre-
sented for the fins manner in which
the firemen extinguished a fire at the
Chlchester home on May 21. 1875.

In the Phoenix Engine company
rooms ornament'ing a sidewall are
three old-time hand-pamper hose noz-
sles made of brass. The connection of
the nossies. which are at least ten feet
long. is larger than that of today. Thu
hoes used at the time these nozzles
were the some in tire equipment was
made of leather.

The Phoenix company owns two fire
trumpets. One was received at a prize
in Weetport on October :2. 1880. for
winnil' e handwumping contest. The
other was presented by Rippowan
company of Stamford on July 4, 1860.

“Till” RELICS FOR
BRITISH MUSEUM

Earl of Carnarvon’s Widow
to Sell Antiques for $100,-
000, Says Daily Mail.

LONDON. June z.-—The late Earl of
Carnarvon's private collection of
antiquities. which includes some of ilk
most valuable Egyptian relics. will be
presented by his widow to the British
Museum, says the Daily Mail.

Lady Cnrnavpn thereby sacrifices
the prospect or greatly adding \0 her
wealth. for the Earl’s will stipulated
that if she decided to sell the collec-
tion the British Museum should be ac-
corded ‘ihe first chance to refuse it for
220,000. This sum is said to be far
below the real value of the treasures.
The newspaper asserts that the
prospective gift to the nation will in-
clude whatever part of the treasure
found in Pharaoh Tutenankahen's
tomb is allotted to Carnavaron's estate
by the Egyptian authorities.

Russian Cabaret
Opens in Norwalk

The Russian Pavilion at the Royal
James Inn under the management
of Count Edward Zichi'. opened last
night.

The invited guests who filled the
large dining room w re delighted at
the transformation i the formerly
staid room into dauingiy colorful
quarters done in the latest Russian
modernist style.

As some one aptly remarked: "In
such an environment. the young can-
not but be ubiase as they desire. and
the old as kittenish as they wish."
This augurs well for the success of
the undertaking.

An excellent orchestra “imported"
from New York rendered such dance
music as had rarely been heard in
these parts. The first dinner served
in the Pavilion was excellent. The en-
tertainment furnished by Caucasian.
dancers was a distinct novelty bring-
ing a. touch of the old world into the
sterner and more rigid atmosphers of
Connecticut.

The new decorations which" cover
the four walls. transformed them into
a gallery of modern art. were done by
two young Petrograd artista Q Alad-
Jalov and V. Bobritssky.

The chief entertainers were Mad-
ame Shiskina. who sang folk songs.
and Mr. Chmara. who danced as‘ only
a Hunter: can dance. .

Among the guests were Mrs. Tho-
mas J. Raymond. William P. Eric.
Mrs. George Ehie. Mr. and an John
Hadcock. Mr. andf Mrs. . George
Thompkins. Mr. and’htn. Westport.
Miss Elsie Archibald and Harry

Mrs. Paul Landenberg and Mr. and
