 FRIEND HUMPHREY :-I observed in your last paper notice of g Teachers Meeting to be held at the Center School Room, on the even- ing of "The Presidents Fast' to take meas- ures for School Celebration.
 The project is new one-at least for Iitch- feld-and may be permitted to disclaim, (what probably no one has ever suspected,) the au- thorship it. Would that were able to claim it. Nevertheless, we go in for it with whatever strength we possess and we wish to impress upon the Lice Teachers throughout the town. that their presence on the occasion referred to is both deslred and expected, Whatever may be the decision of the meeting, may we not sec every teacher in Litchfeld present at the calling of tho roll? Respectfully yours, a.w.M.
