The alleged finding of bag of foreign
coin in the Charlestown pinery revives old
tales of Capt. Kidd who was supposed to
have buried shiploads Of doubloons all the
way up the river. Half century ago
cranks were still searching for it from Con-
necticut lake to Long Island sound.
The Charlestown correspondent of The
Reporter gives an account Of the hanging
of several beautiful pictures in their high
schoolroom. These were bought with the
proceeds of a sale of fancy articles by the
scholars last winter. This recalls visit
which we made in western town some
years ago. Its new and costly school
building was pointed out with much pride
to visitors. On entering we found the
walls adorned with really elegant pictures.
The high school room and assembly hall
received first attention but one by one the
lower schools were receiving appropriate
gifts. This all came about by simple
suggestion from the principal and superin-
tendent. The people were quick to act
upon it; local artists sent oil paintings and
pastels, the photographers sent few fine
sun-prints and wealthy citizens sent hand
some engravings and etchings appropriately
formed. These were hung well up above
the reach of ordinary accident and formed
an important part of the education of the
children. Who is potent enough to make
suggestion which shall be similarly acted
on in connection with our schoolrooms?
