The Washington News, with a sort of Antecedaneous enterprise, gives out the following prognostications anent the next Gubernatorial contest in Con- necticut. It says: ‘ “Connecticut will choose 9. Governor next year,,and the usual sharp contest will take place between the two parties for supremacy in the State. There may be also contests within both parties between the elements which demand a man of money and those which demand a man of brains. Such contests have occurred before in Connecticut, and, while the men of money have often won in State conven- tions, they have usually proved less popular than the other class w1th the voters at the polls. The President’s friend, Mr. E. O. Benedict, has been talked of as a possi- ble candidate and one who could put up any amount of “sinews of war.” Those who oppose Mr. Benedict do it on the ground that he is more a New York banker than a citizen of Connec- ticut, interested in her welfare and the development of her future. They are disposed to support Hon. Lewis Sperry, the Member of Congress from the Hartford district. Mr. Sperry has ac- complished what no other Democrat has done within recent recollection in I carrying his district twice in succession. Heretofore the even division between the parties has kept the district in a perpetual seesaw-Republican at one election and Democratic at the next. It would be pleasant news to the friends of Mr. Sperry in Washington that he had been chosen for the honor of the Governorship. He has made a creditable record in the Hones 913,9! champion of sound currency, and is likely to do good work as a member of the Committee on Banking. Mr. Sperry has been a steady supporter of the President, and his nomination or that of Mr. Benedict ought to be almost equally agreeable to Mr. Cleveland. Penniless Immigrants.

The following is the report of the committee appointed to act upon the proposition of establishing a High School in the town of Norwalk, and is the same as unanimously approved at the last meeting of the Board of School VisitOrs: .‘ To the Board of School Visitors, Nor- walk, Conn. GENTLEMEN:—Tlie committee ap- pointed to look into the matter of High school instruction, and report upon the advisability of establishing a Town High School, .would respectfully sub- mit the following: ' ' Your committee find that stated High School instruction is given in the schools of four districts, namely, the Center, Over River, East Norwalk and South Norwalk districts. According to information obtained from the sev- eral principals, there are at present en- rolled in the High School departments of these schools one hundred and four scholars. To the ivork of instructing these scholars four teachers give all their time. In iaddition to this from one-third to one-half the time of each principal is given to High School work. From a computation made from the salaries of the different instructors, it is found that the town pays for teach- ing in each of its four High Schools, the aggregate sum. of $4,800. The re- sults obtained are evidently not com- mensurate with the outlay. From answers to questions propound- ed. to the different principals, it ap- pears that the requirements for admis- sion to the High School department of the several'schools are ‘by no means uniform. The requirements of the different High School courses are still less so. For instance, in two of the schools the course'covers three years. In the remaining two, only two years. Starting then, with different degrees of preparation, and pursuing their studies for unequal periods of time, the grad- uates of our four High Schools repre- sent varying degrees of scholastic at- tainments, and training. From not one of our High Schools, would a graduate be admitted to the Classical course in any of our colleges. From possibly two of our schools, graduates Would be admitted to the usual college scientific courses. These facts are not creditable to the town. They indicate a serious: defect in the educational system of the town, and one that is entirely unneces- sary. for more than money'enough is expended for: teaching in the High School departments to secure adequate High Schoolinstruction. The proper work of a High school is to fit studentsfor‘ the classical and sci- . e‘ntific courses 'in ofr~leadih§bollegesm to give a preparation to those whocon- template a Normal school course with a view to becoming teachers, and to fur- nish opportunities for a thorough Eng- lish and commercial education to those whose school privileges and with the High School.‘ This can be done well and economically in one town High School. In order to accomplish the de- sired result, the course of study would necessarily be extended to four years. The scholars now pursuing their studies in four different schools, if grouped in- to one, could easily be managed by three teachers; one principal, and two assistants, for, on the first establish- ment of a town High School, there would be but three classes. At the end 'of the first year, the number of classes would‘naturally be increased to four, and an additional teacher would be re- quired. This would make a corps of four teachers, with the regular number of classes; one _ principal and three assistants. The salaries of the teachers, for the first your need not exceed $3,000, and might be one hundred or two hundred dollars less. The increase, later, of the number of teachers from three to four, would make the aggregate paid for sal- aries some $3,500 or $3,600.- An item to be considered in connection with the matter of expense would be the tuition money which might be realized from out of town scholars. Such scholars could be admitted if there should be room for them. The best scholars from the schools in the adjoining towns coming into our High School,would help give it strength and character, and would also be a pc- cuniary benefit to the town. The location Of the school should be as central and accessible as possible. Some place between the two cities would naturally best fill all require- ments as to convenience. In the erec- tion of a new High School building it would not be necessary to do much more than meet present needs, but a building lot of sufficient size should be secured, and a building erected,so con- structed, architecturally, that additions could be made, as required, and a sym- metrical, and convenient building, be the result in the end. The advantage to the lower grades, of relieving the principals of the schools in the several dist-riots of all High school work, is too obvious to re- quire extended comment. The change would give-them that increased amount of attention and supervision that are requisite for the best and most uniform results. , Your committee would close their re- port with the following recommenda- tions : First—That a Town High School he established, affording the instruction in English, Scientific and Classical studies, usually given inschools of the in . Second—That provision be made the first year, for three classes, and after the first year, for four classes, should that number require instruction. Third—That three teachers be en- gaged the first year; a principal and two assistants, at salaries aggregating not over three thousand dollars. This arrangement has in contemplation the engagement of, another assistant-teach- er, should an additional class render such teacher necessary. _ ‘ Fourth—The purchase of a lot, some-. where between the two cities, and the erection thereon .Of a suitable High School building, so planned that addi- tions c‘ouldbe made when required. Fifth-chhe' discontinuance of High School instruction, in the schools of the several districts, after the close of the present school year. ' A. BLANCHABD, JOHN H. LIGHT, ALFRED EJAUSTIN.

The bride looked handsome in a gown of white bengaline silk, trimmed with pearl passementerie and Duchess lace, white tulle veil, and carried in her hand a bunch of white chrysanthe- mums. ' The maid of honor was Miss Minnie Hyatt, of this place, who wore a pink India silk dress trimmed with white valenciennes lace and carried in her hands a large white satin cushion upon which the bride kneeled during a. por- tion of the ceremony. The best man was Mr. George E. Burr, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. William Washburn of the same city presided at the organ. The ushers were Sidney Lockwood of New York, E. H.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-—Ths antici- pated test of strength between the Pow» derly and antl—Powderly factions in the general assembly of the knights of labor materialized at yesterday afternoon's ses- sion, and as was expected, Mr. Powdorly came out on top, being re-elocted Gen- eral Master Workman by a vote 01326 to 20. This, it is claimed, foreshadowe the den feat of Powderly’s enemy, Secretary- Treasurer Hayes, an election for whose office will be held to-day. It is not cer- tain, however, that Hayes will be a can- didate for re—election. After adoption of the finance committee’s report, exonerating Mr. Powderly, A. W. Wright and Devlin, a resolution was adopted declaring the general offices va- cant. Then came the election of Powderly. Congressman Davis, Mr. Powderly, T. B. McGuire and J. R. Sovereign, of Iowa, were placed in nomination. McGuire and Davis immediately withdrew. Gave Powdorly a Close Brush. Sovereign, who was not present, was nominated by the Hayes people and his popularity was shown by the close brush he gave Powderly, be pulling 19 votes and McGuire one. The Powder-1y people claim that Mr. Sovereign is a close friend of Mr. Powderly and that he would not have allowed the use of his name had he been present. Mr. Powderly’s victory gives him the privilege of naming eight candidates, four of whom are to be elected members'of the general executive board. It is certain that . he will press the re-elcction of Wright, Devlin and Davis of the present board. There is a possibility of T. B. McGuire being the fourth man. If Mr. Hayes does not run for secretary- treasurer it is expected their candidate will be J. G. Schoufarber of Baltimore. Charles Martin of Tiflin, 0., will proba- . bly bathe Powderly candidate.
