roses in her hand. A wedding lunch was
served and the happy couple started,

The concert given by the Redfield male
quartet from South Dakota, at the Con-
church, last Tuesday even
ing, proved success beyond the expec-
tations of the promoters, and also fur
nished an evenings delightful entertain
ment for those who attended. The pro-
gram rendered was high class in every
respect and was fully appreciated by the
large audience present. 1t is hoped that
Watertown may have another opportuni-
ty of hearing these talented singers at
some future date.
The same evening as the above the
ladies of the Methodist church gave a
strawberry and ice cream festival which
received fair share Of patronage, many
going there before they went to the con-
cert and also after it was over. Now is
the time when the palstes call for straw
berries and ice cream and it almost seems
as il the church people who engineer
sociables were losing time.

is it ahead in advantages to the pupil,
of the great obj ections to adopting town
management. that it costs more. Oae
speaker, last Thursday evening, affirmed
that In the town where he came fr, N the
schools were costing less than under the
old system. The extra cost under dis
trict management come in where the at
tendance is small in the outlying districts,
teachers get from Sc to $S per week, and
the average attendance IN some OF these
Soho DIS is less than 10. We hear it said
paid too high, $40 per week. Which costs
most, teacher at $40 per week who has
an average attendance of 40 pupils or a
teacher at So who has an average Of 10 :?
In looking up the abstracts in the state
reports it sometime looks strange that the
average cost per pupil Is 80 large, espe
cially here In Connecticut, where
teachers salaries are much lower than in
many other states. The small school In
the outlying district with only few chill
dren explains where this extra cost
comes in, but some one says we must
have schools outside the center. We

under our own flag all our imports and

which we trade have the same right to

to obtain the carrying trade both ways
