LOOKING FOR HOMES.

Clinton, Sept 11.-President Daniel
O'Grady of the Certus club does not
know where the club will find new quar-
tiers. He hardly expects that quarters
can be found as central as those the
club IS leaving. Negotiations are in pro-
gress with George w. Morse for the
front room that served as a drawing
room to the Columbia hotel, when the
hotel was in use
The Bricklayers and Plasterers'
union is equally at loss. Grand Knight
w. G. McGlinchey of Gibraltar Council,
Knights of Columbus, says that he does
not know where the council will make
its next home. The plans of the council
are derlnged.
The annex is naturally a part of the
Clinton house. The change gives ]. H.
Coughlin all the extra room he will
need for the present. Mr.. Coughlin will
establish his sample room in the annex.
This will permit the room that has
hitherto been used as a sample room to
be rented to some business concern. The
space is small, but its situation on the
best corner of Church and High streets
makes it of value.

MUST BE NORMALS.
Clinton Schools Will
Employ Nothing
But Graduates.
BETTER TRAINING is NEEDED
superintendent Time Too
Much Occupied to Care
For Detail.

Clinton, Sept. 1.-THE Clinton public
schools will hereafter employ no teach
ers but those who are graduates of nor
NAL schools. 1t has been decided that
the training shall not be started this
year. Heretofore graduates of either
normal schools or of the training class
were eligible to be teachers. The change
will make the occupation of teacher
somewhat more difficult to Clinton
young women.
Superintendent c. L. Hunt told the
representative of The Spy this after
noon that he had no time to devote to
ahe class.
1t is true that the duties devolving
upon the superintendent of schools
tAave grown much within a few years,
Ind that Superintendent Hunts time
IS fully occupied.
Superintendent Hunt is an enthusi-
pstic advocate of normal school train
Ding. He said the most he was able to
40 for the class last year was TO send
The young women into the school to
observe the practical work of teaching
This left them without theoretical
Draining and had a tendency to make
Ihem narrow.
Nevertheless the change is not greeted
with the approval of everybody. Some
4arents who had been looking forward
20 a teachers training for their daugh-
slers, object to the abolition of the class,
because it makes the work of prepara-
ION more expensive.

In spite of the deep sympathy felt by
those who saw him, he cannot be looked
at without shudder of disgust.

suit of poisoning with ivy. He says
that he has been employed by farmer

he went into an onion patch among tall
weeds and that shortly afterward he
was afflicted with the malady which
makes him so unpleasant to the eye.
