A "coHKEH,, IN THE BOARD.

No O uorum of the Board Of Education but Still NAT. Leigh Talks to the Vis-
 1ting Committee-Their Junketing
 Trips-Mr. Xunder Dreams and so-
 lilOq uizes.
 In vain and with anxious eye did Presi- dent Welch, Major Strong and Messrs. Zun- der and Leigh of the board of education wait last night for some one of their brethren to walk into the boards rooms to make up quorum for the regular bi-weekly meeting. Eight o'clock sounded and still no one came.
 .'I never knew of such thing to happen in twenty years," ejaculated MT. Zunder.
 "No," said President Welch; ''it's some thing strangely unusual. We always had 8 full board till lately"
 Secretary Day then read the records and MT. Dutton's communication from Agnes F. Moves, No. 8 Dwight school, resigning her position on February 1; also from Ada B. Hyde, teacher of drawing, and Hattie Schulafer for two CT three months leave of absence. The last two were granted.
 Major Strong brought up the question of the senior High school reception, and said that he thought the Hyperion or Loomis' was not proper place to hold it.
 MT. Leigh suggested that High school hall be arranged with partitions capable of being removed, thus affording more room. The matter was given to the building committee with power to act.
 Mir. Leigh then tried to make it pretty lively, even though there were but four members present. He attacked the newly appointed visiting committee with great gus to. ''I won't sign another appropriation for after questioning MT. Dutton somewhat sharply upon his recent trips to Boston and Worcester. 'I move the trip to Washington be postponed, he went on.
 "But," quickly explained President Welch,
 Eve have no quorum and can't take any ac. tion. We must leave it to the discretion oi the committee"
 Even this didn't quiet Mir. Leigh. He war going to see the board run as it ought to be quorum or no quorum. What's the use oi going all over the country to find out how poor our shoals areY' he asked. "Besides, the committee ought to inform the board of theil movements. didn't know that they were going to Washington till saw it in the even. ing papers. As member of the board, want to know what's going on. Custom ol not, the actions of committees should be more in the hands of the board"
 "These are weighty matters" /" thoughtfully murmured President Welch. s'Why not lay them over till we have full boards"
 ''But what about the visitinga" persisted MT. Leigh.
 "Well, as said, the committee must act, reiterated the president, and the discussion was lost in MT. Zunder's dreamy soliloquy "No, not in twenty years, twenty years surely all of that, have l seen sucf meeting. Politics and business ruin quorum,' and he sadly sank into sobel reverie as the meeting gently adjourned. Superintendent Dutton serenely escaped tc rear room, where he, sorely ruffied by th' evenings skirmish, said that the visiting committee had made appointments and would have to visit Washington, Philadel phia and New York, as had been stated.

 Monson & Carpenters mammoth sale came to temporary stop yesterday, necessity ob- liging the firm taking inventory of stock, which has already been deferred on account of the great pressure of business since Janu- ary 1. The sale has been an enormous one, unprecedented in the history of this old es- tablished house. In fact, nothing surpassing it has been known in the history of dry goods trade in New Haven. Remarkable bargains have been offered in all departments and customers have been delighted with the prizes secured. This famous sale will be re- sumed Monday in order to complete the sst- clement of the estate, and with the readjust- ment of the business and thorough looking oyer of the stock still greater reductions will be made, surpassing the cut made during January It is rare occasion when so large and choice a stock has to be sacrificed so and this firm still have remaining a stock to select from.

LECTURE TO TEACHERS.

Three Great Principles, Self-Rell-
 ance, Relations To Others and Pur-
 pose.
 The lecture to teachers at High school hall yesterday afternoon by Rev. A. E, Winship of Boston, was favored with a large attend- snce. Teachers were present from Milford, Westville, Branford and other near places, besides nearly all of our city teachers. The "Three Great Principles" upon which the discourse was based, were lucidly illustrated and many valuable hints given for their ma terialization. The first of the great princi- ples is self-reliance. The speaker urged up- on this topic that the scholar be trained to rely wholly upon himself. The second principle is the pupils relations to others; that is, the ability of blending harmoniously with his fellows in important work. The third is purpose. This was urged as of great moment in the shaping of all manner of work or enterprise.

Words Welded to Song.

N[r. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan are understood to "get on" with one an other very pleasantly, but, generally speaking, there is no more vehement ami mostly than is engendered between the man who writes the song and the man who sets it to music. Each of them calls it his song and ascribes its popu- larity solely to his part in it's production. But it is certainly the fact that not even Lord Tennyson's verse is half so valu- able ill current coin as a ballad of the music hall that has caught the ear of the public. It is not until music is ''wedded to immortal verse" that verse, in most cases, becomes immortal, or at least fetches any extraordinary price in the market. Only the other day the dam ages claimed for singing ditty of which somebody held the copyright were no less than g700. What poet ever received the tenth of such sum for the words themselves? What is very curious and shows how we stick to old saws, thor oughly worn out, the souls of them fumed forth, the hearts of them torn out," is that we still use the term, 'sold for song," as an expression for cheap ness.-London Independent.
