| few days ago, and was many years

a cost of $4,000. The school rooms will
be grouped. The addition will be a
four-story brick building located in
| the rear of the present structure
There will be thirteen school rooms
when the building is completed
The West Haven authorities have
been notified that the apparent differ
| ence in the accounts of ex-Tax Collec-
| tor Albert Save will be Immediately
| adjusted. The shortage appears to be
about $500, but it is thought that on
| further and more careful examination
this will be materially reduced. Ex-
Collector Save is out of town trying to
realize on some securities. 1t is I'M
derstood that the whole matter will be
! speedily adjusted. Saves bondsmen
are ex-Deputy Sheriff Peck and. Dep
uty Sheriff Wheeler. They say that
| they have no fear as to the result as
Save owns property ample to more
than cover the shortage. The books
are to be examined by an expert.
| Principal J. R. French of the Lowell
school, in discussing the vertical sys-
tenn of writing yesterday, said: "One
| of the teachers in the lower grades has
been experimenting with this system,
! and has obtained some excellent re-
suits. With the old style slanting sys-
| tenn, there We're not over eight or ten
pupils who were marked excellent The
teacher who has been experimenting
with the new system, after a three
months trial, made an examination of
the pupils papers and found that 80
per cent of the pupils in the room
had obtained a mark of high excel
lence This showing we consider al
mostremarkable." The question wheth-
| er the new vertical system will be
adopted will probably come up for
consideration within a short time be-
fore the members of the board of edu-
cation.
