North Brookfield, June 2S.-The North
Yrookfeld high school is badly in need
If good chemical laboratory, and the
SCHOOL board has under consideration a
MAN to build and equip a first class
laboratory relative in merit to the rest
Of the school.
There is every reason to believe that
before the fall term of school COM
mences, the committee will have a
laboratory where chemical experiments
can be made thoroughly, ready for the
pupils to use. During the past year the
school has been greatly handicapped
nv having no chemical laboratory
where experiments could be made, and
as chemical experiments are essential
IN the study of chemistry, this branch
had to be dropped and was not taught
at all
The class which has just graduated
did not suffer any, however, as the
members had the opportunity of
studying chemistry in their sophomore
year before the high school building
was remodeled. At that time there
was small laboratory, inadequate it is
true to the wants of the school, but
still better than nothing. To be sure,
a physical laboratory is partly fitted
up with some fairly good apparatus,
but as far as chemics are concerned,
this is valueless. Chairman Timothy
Howard of the school committee told
The Spy reporter this afternoon that
the committee has talked of the matter,
and the members are satisfied that a
1,bo t=
the expense will be is not known, but
It is thought 1T could be we'll fitted out
for $500. Mr.. Howard said that if such
Is the case the committee is undoubt-
eddy in favor of going ahead with the
work. The plan, as far as outlined at
present, Is to finish the interior of one
of the new rooms upstairs in the build
ing
This room was left unfinished, as it
was not known to just what use it
would eventually be put. 1t is be-
Neved it would be convenient for
teachers and pupils and would furnish
ample accommodation for laboratory.
Chairman Howard said he expects that
the school committee will meet in few
days and take definite action.
The exclusive story in The Spy this
morning, stating that the house occu-
pied by Rev. James P. Tuite had been
taxed attracted no small amount of
attention, and great interest is man
Tested in the case. Opinions vary as
to which side interprets the law right,
and it is claimed by FIR. Tuite that the
assessors have been pushed 10 their
course by a machine behind them.
For a short time last night it was
thought that Spencer's wild man had
run loose on the streets here. The
man said his name was Prouty and
that he came from Spencer, and he
astonished the natives by bursts of
blasphemy one moment and prayer the
next. He wandered down summer
street and has not been seen today.
A burglar with big feet is wanted
in Spencer, and a stranger with pig
feet was seen on Main street here yes
terday afternoon. The strangers feet
were so big that a small boy sarcastl-
cally hummed, Put my little SHOES
away" Many thought the stranger was
the burglar who operated in Spencer
Monday night.
