NAUGATUCR, July 26.-It was some
what of surprise to some on Sunday
last to notice that the school board had
secured the services of a gentleman as
the successor of Mr. Warde, the fact not
being noticed in either of our locals
published on Saturday, but given to a
Sunday paper at Waterbury. We had
the assurance on Saturday of one of the
board that no appointment had been
made, also of the board of school
visitors that no one had been recon-
mended to them for approval. We now
learn from Mr. German that Thomas F.
Kane, who has acted as superintendent
of school in Cohoes, n. y, has accepted
the position at 81 800 for the school
year, subject to the approval of the
board of education. We also learn that
the secret that the school committee
| would not divulge, as stated in the
Globe, was the request that all teachers
of the center district school have their
| licenses revoked, so that the board Of
| education may assign them to any room
they see fit. This is to be acted upon
later and a re-eNAmination of teachers
may be expected soon.
| The Epworth league went on their ex-
cursion to SavIn Rock to-day.
A test case as regards lettering on the
streets is to be tried here to-day.

T slight water damage, and some seventy
