NAUGATucK, Nov 2T.-when our district
school opened for the fall term it was with
the understanding that all teachers certi-
icates, except one, were to be renewed for
one term only; also that during the holt
day vacation there should be general ex-
animation of all teachers employed in the
Union Center district, more especially as
the act concerning the study of physiology
and hygiene with special referenc
to the effects and nature of alcoholic
drinks and other narcotics upon the
human syssem had not been fully COM
piled with. On Saturday the teachers met
and held a conference regarding the mat
ter. they thinking that there was several
good reasons why examinations should 80
over until next summer, when their minds
were not so busily engaged with their du-
ties. From conversation held we have every
reason to believe that the school visitors
will grant their request and renew all Ger
tifcates.
There was a large attendance at all our
churches yesterday. At ST Francis church
there was a special ehildren's service and
the forty hours devotion began. At the
Congregational thanksgiving sermon was
preached by the Rev Mr. Soule. There
were fair sized congregations at both St

How the Atlantic Ocean Got Its Name

This ocean is supposed to have received
its name from the fabulous island of At
lantis, which the ancients believe was
situated in that ocean. This is first men,
toned by Plato, in which description
Atlantis appeared as large island lying
off the Pillars of Hercules in the Atlantic
ocean. The Canary islands were supposed
by some to be the remains of the old Allan
tbs, while others believed that the vast is
land may have been the new world. 1t
may also have been given the name At
lantic because it washes the feet of the
great Atlas mountains of Africa.

comes from RodOmont. king of Sara or
Algiers, in Borardo's Orlando manor

This word is a most unjust imputation
on him from whose name it is derived.
Rodomont was famous as the lover Of
Doralis, princess of Granada, who after
ward eloped with Mandricardo, king Of
Tartary. In a quarrel he challenged
Rogero at his wedding and was killed,
but there was nothing in either the chal-
lenge or the fight to judge him as an
eastern Bob Acres-all talk and no cour-
