SCHOOL AFFAIRS.

0SdooA AZ e Alh0s
At meeting of the Board of 'Educa.
tion at the Town hall, last Wednesday
evening, petitions from several districts
asking the board to appoint officers were
acted upon. District, No. 4, held no
meeting and the board appointed the Of
ficers. District, No. 8, new committee
was appointed as the committee elected
was not eligible, he not being a resident
of the town or district. District No. 2,
the board voted unanimously that the
meeting held in the district was illegal
and the officers alleged to be elected at
that meeting were declared not legally
elected and the board appointed the fol-
lowing officers for the district: Albert
Theide, committee; c. B. Cummings,
clerk; David Briggs, treasurer; and Will
liam O'Hare, collector. Your CORE
spondent has refrained from making
public the disgraceful scenes enacted at
this school meeting in District, No. 2, or
better known as East Iron Works, but
now that it has been brought before the
school board in such public manner we
think it we'll that the citizens of Brook
field and surrounding towns know
that our school board and all good citi-
zens condemn the methods adopted at
this school meeting. 1t is shown that
the committeeman of the dis
trict, attempted to hold and did hold an
illegal meeting. 1t was shown that the
district for % years held their annual
meeting the week following the closing
of the school and always on Saturday
evening, giving five days notice before
the day of meeting, not including the
day of meeting. It was shown that the
committee posted the notice on Monday
at 10 p. m. and 1t was torn down shortly
after, so that it was never seen on the
schoolhouse in the day time and that no
notice OF this call was left with the clerk
on the day it was posted according to
law. Some think it was intended to haye
secret meeting and deceive the people
as the meeting was called Friday even
ing instead of Saturday. 1t leaked out
in some way that meeting was to be
held and few citizens ventured to at
tend and they were met outside of the
schoolhouse and were insulted and abus.
ed in mcst shameful manner. Mr. Kane
was brutality choked and Mr. Crofut, an
old man over 80, was roughly handled
and would have been severely injured If
it had not been for the protest of
certain men present. The committee
was atked to call another meeting and
have the call according to law but he re-
fused in most arbitrary manner. We
congratulate the honest men of the dis
trict who would not submit to this out
rage and who brought the matter to the
attention of the school board and we
hope that no such .disgraeeful affair will
ever occur again in East Iron Works.

THE POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO "BILE."
There are some signs that the local
political pot is beginning to boil, not
enough to throw the cover off az yet, but
there are mutterings and sputterings like,
you know. One thing is probably settled,
the denomination Of John f. Adds for
Judge of probate and his probable re-
election. This is an office which should
be kept out Of politics. Judge Adds has
proved painstaking and courteous Of
fetal, and has attended closely to his
duties: Who the republicans will set up
to be knocked down is uncertain, but no
one Ia working for the nomination in the
republican camp anyway. When it comes
to town affairs some think 1t Ia anybody's
fight. Selectman David Soule on the
democratic side has many friends, but
he will be opposed by an element which
wants economy the watchword, and such
men as Isaac Bristol, J. LIE Roy Buck, or
Nicholas Staub may be pressed into the
harness to defeat Mr. Soule for the NOM
nation. On the republican side Select
man Pomeroy will probably want re-
nomination, but some would like to see q
business man like Charles M. Beach head
the ticket. He is head over heels in bust
ness anyway, but it Is thought he might
be pressed into the service. Il would be
quite pretty race il Messrs Beach and
Bristol were the opposing leaders. When
1t comes down to the representative
fight 1t Is limited in democratic circles
that Noble Bennitt might like a second
term, with Andrew Booth or J. LIE Roy
Buck as running mate. Then the re-
publicans may put up Henry S. Mygatt,
J. Edwin Hungerford, G. M. Breining or
Andrew Barnes. or course 1t is early
now and not anyone has proclaimed bic
Willingness to serve his country at the
"Great and General Court" but along
about October 1t is thought there will be
quite number Of "Willin' Barkises."

but lies in the passing from The cold

1t has Hong been subject of com
plant on the part of some Europeans
that American houses are overheated.
It is also claimed that one result of
this overheating is that Americans are
more subject to lung or throat diseases
than they would be II their houses
we're kept at lower temperature du-
ring the winter, and the temperature
was gradually less eDed as summer ap-
prOaches. This is probably true up

avoided, even where the tpmperstur
Of the residence is mt low.
II aems to be the general idea that
he person who passes from an over

IL in serious danger of catching oold.
Consequently, many persons stay in
doors in the winter time, because they
do not like to ran tie risk Of catching
Geld by going out In this hey often
made decided mistake, because the
majority OF colds sre not cauRht by
going from a warm temperature into a
cold temperature, provided the person
making the char ge INDUCES in reason

doors too long. The real danger of
catching cold GENES upon the return
into warm room.
AS a matter Of fact, many physicians
held to the belief that the stimulation
OF the circulation and nerves caused by
a warm room often prevents person
from catching cold when going into
a temperature that is in the ne eighbor-
