rant for said meeting an article relating to
the adoption of the "tJwn system of
sch ,ols." This subject has been efore the
voters Of Weatheifield at the last two an
nual meetings, but NJ action has been taken

men are openly in favor of this system, and
none are directly opposed t. ii, and we

people of the state that Weathersfield has

cure better and hisher education for the
children of it.
