Spring Trips to California and Alaska
The Yosemite valley, the Yellowstone
National park and some other places of
interest beyond the Rocky mountains are
not accessible during the winter. Pleasure
trips to Alaska are also out of the question
except in summer. From May to July, on
the other hand, all these resorts are easily
reached. Messrs. Raymond & Whitcomb
have, therefore, arranged for four delight
full sightseeing tours, the parties to leave
Boston April "a and May "a, and be gone
from two to three months. Special trains
of Pullman vestibulsd sleeping and dining
cars are to be employed for the rail jour
neys, and the Alaska tourists will make
the voyage on the popular steamer Queen
Full information about these excursions,
which include also the worlds fair, will
be found in book of 200 pages, which
Raymond & Whitcomb, 296 Washington
street, Boston, will send to any address.
NO MEETING HELD.
A Committee From the Board OF
Education Visit the New Manual
Training school at Providence.
The board of education expected to hold
special meeting last evening, but Presi-
dent Graves telegraphed from Providence
that the committee, consisting of Messrs.
Graves, Holcomb, Whitney and Avis, who
had gone that city to visit the new Manual
Training school in that city, could not get
back to New Haven in time. They came
in on late train. They visited the new
school, which is completed but not yet
fully equipped. It is quite a question
with the board whether to combine the
manual training school In the Same an
adjoining building with the high school.
1t seems to bs the general opinion, how
ever, that it would lend greater prestige
to the school to have it In the samson an
adjoining building with the high school.
The building at Providence Is very
thoroughly equipped with all the appii-
ances for the various trades, md also ply
steal and chemical laboratories. It Is in
an entirely separate building there. There
will probably be soma definite decision
at the meeting next Friday evening
