School districts sometimes become greatly interested in their respective schools. At a school meeting in @ rural district 1t IS pro posed and voted that given teacher receive more than the town apportion and that he teach longer than the legal year. dis ! trict of this town several years ago felt thus and acted accordingly. It was voted that the school committee should borrow the money needed for increase of wages and tol additional weeks to the legal school year The bill then contracted, about $7O, Is at this time, with unpaid interest," about $1O0. And now another district has "gone and done likewise" contracting debt for their sue cessors to pay. The only manly way for the first district referred to was to pay the bills at the close of each term out of it's own pocket. And the second district referred to should
 have done and should do the same thing, For district to contract such debts as spok- en of to be paid in succeeding years by its citizens borders on audacious robbery. During the last two years of the pastorate
 of the Rev. Charles Bentley here two boys who boarded with him, reciting to him in va cation. and attending the Granby academy in term time, when Granby and East Gran by were one town, are now acting pastors, the one of the First Congregational church of Granby, the other of East Granby.
 "Our much travelled" Harry Goddard, a staunch Democrat, recently met and con versed with the much talked of St. John, of Kansas, to be greatly pleased with hls cour- tesy and intelligence and to be impressed with the conviction that he is eminently qualified to be President of the United States. MT. G.,
 however, has all confidence in the ability of the President-elect to discharge the duties of
 President. This Mir. Goddard, it will be re- membered, is the distiller who neither uses tea nor coffee nor intoxicants as beverage, nor uses tobacco in any form; man who induces his sons to eschew tobacco and abstain from the use of intoxi- cants. Two of these sons are prominent students at Wesley" Mass, and in the best sense of the term are Christian gentlemen. One son still at home is natural portrait artist sure to be heard from in due time after completing his academic studies, and after following for time his natural bent of mind. The person, however, whose mind is most on these boys, and who is their inspi- ration, is their mother. Her motto is Ex- celsior, and she ever rallies them in the use of it.
