EDUCATION.

Education is the keynote Of success
for the American youth. To bo a sue
cess every child must have an educa-
tion, at least good common school ed
ucatlon. Then as duty every parent
owes this much to his child. 1t is pri-
marily of interest to the parent to have
good school. On the supposition that
the teacher is capable, what can the pa
rent do to promote the success of the
school?
First, it necessarily follows that he
should send his children, and send them
regularly Parents frequently destroy
the students interest in the whole
school by keeping them at home for
some trivial affair. Send them early
with cheerful smile, and hope of
something accomplished during the day
and they will not disappoint you.
Second Interest yourself in the
child's studies Why should the child
care to study a subject in which be sees
you have no interest? If it interests
you there is something in it for him
and he will endeavor to get it, See
that ho makes some visible progress
each day. If be does not, there is some
thing wrong. See where the fault is.
Is he studying at home? The student
who does not study at home does little
in the schoolroom. Each day ought to
mark distinct step in his education.
Take an interest in your childrens'
progress. The teacher is interested but
why should he more so than yourself?
Are they not your own children?
To large extent the success of the
school depends upon the teacher Give
him then your hearty support. How
many patrons 60 to the teacher, take
him by the hand and say Here are my
children, do the best you can for them,
l will aid and support you" The pa
rents are to large extent RESPONSIBLE
for the conduct OF the school, for their
own children are the ones who disobey
the rules of the school. Did you ever
hear any one say his son was the cause
of any trouble in school? Certainly not;
it was always the son of the other fell
low Yet all the children have parents
who are responsible.
You hear some misconduct Is going on
in the schoolroom-a teacher would be
Argus.eyed indeed to see everything
will it better the school to tell neigh
Dor A about it? Perhaps your son is
the cause of it, have you inquired? If
any one can stop it it is the teacher.
Tell him about it. Give him your sup
port.
The school is a primal index to the
neighborhood: boys conduct in
school to his home life. A bad school
shows there is something wrong in the
neigh borhood. The well-trained boy
or girl gives no trouble in school. The
teacher is hired that he may instruct
the children-not to serve as a whip
ping-master. If every parent sees that
his own child behaves properly the con-
duct of the school will be perfect The
parents are responsible for the schools
behavior EDUCATION.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
National Headquarters to Be in New
 Haven

New Haven, July 16.-The commit of Supreme Knight Edward L. Hearn, State Deputy John ". Hogan of New York, and State Deputy Joseph c. Pel- letter of Massachusetts, which was ap- pointed to secure permanent national headquarters, has selected this city as the place. The directors have abandon ed the plan of building and will pur- chaes structure already erected and in good condition into which headquar- ters will soon be moved.
 The alleged violation of the provi- sions of an amendment to the bylaws of the order, adopted three years ago, and aimed to keep saloon keepers out of the order, is the subject of frequent press dispatches from leading Connec- ticut cities, the latest being to the ef- feet that prior to three years ago the mortality among the liquor dealers in the Knights of Columbus was very large, and that the National council Is determined to shut out this class in the future. The violations are prin- cipally confined to subordinate coun- cils in New York and Massachusetts, 1t is stated. Some action with rcfer- ence to the matter is certain to be talk en at the adjourned meeting of the National council next month at Platts- zurg, N '.
 An interesting meeting of the Rhode island council. K. of O., has just been held for the purpose of hearing the re- port of the special committee that at- tended the quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the National council which was recently held in this city. Nearly every council in the state was represented and National Delegate
 Joseph F. Cole presided. The commit l tee presented an interesting report of 1 the result of it's conference with regard l to the interests of the order in Rhode
 island, and it Is expected that Supreme | Knight Edward l.. Hearn will soon is- sue call for a meeting of the State l council to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Joseph H. Car l ney, state deputy.
 Several of the councils in Rhode island are holding only one meeting . month during the hot weather.

Capewell Nail Company Will Not

Capewell Nail Company Will Not
 Grant Full Demand of Employees.
 Hartford, July 16.-The Capewell Horse Nail company will not grant the girls in the sorters' and packers de- partment of the factory the twenty five per cent increase of pay, additional to standing rates, which they asked for some time ago. George J. Capewell, representing the company, gave out the above information this morning.
 MT Capewell said that if such an i'm crease was allowed that the works would have to close in order not to lose money. The company, however, as by an agreement to meet the sorters and packers half way, will grant certain increase in present rates. MT Cape well said that that increase would probably be about ten per cent. He also intimated that if the girls were not satisfied with that, and were inclined to bubble, it was barely possible that the company would close it's doors for several weeks.
 Under an increase of twenty-f five per cent" said MT Capewell, it is cheaper l for the firm to loaf than to work. The company claims that the girls in other l nail factories sort and pack thirty three | and one-third per cent more nails than the employees of the Capewell Horse Nail company. Regardless of this fact we are willing to do what we can in giving our girls a chance to earn more money"
 l The girls of the sorting and packing | departments are not at work at pres ent, as the factory is closed for few weeks. It will start Monday morning, and the sorting and packing depart ment one week later.

A BOGUS DIVORCE.
Stranger Impersonated Judge Prentice
 at a Rockville Hotel


 at Rockville Hotel.
 Rockville, July 1G.--,rhe superior court was in session ill this city yes terday, Judge Shunway presiding, to hear the charges preferred by State Attorney J. H. Reed of Stafford against Lawyer Patrick J. Danahy of Stafford Springs. The accused failed to appear in court, but was represented by Lawyers Harvey and Hinman of Willimantic, who asked for recess until 2 D. m., as they thought that Dan ahy would appear. This was refused and the attorneys retired from the case.
 Lawyer Reed then presented his wit nesses, Mrs Hattie D. Lockman of Stafford told of employing Lawyer Danahy to secure a divorce for her: that she came to Rockville, April 9. and that what she supposed was a court was held ill the parlor of the Rockville house. 4 man was introduc- cd to her as Judge Prentice She told her story and her sister, Mrs W. R. Handy, also testified The pretended judge granted the divorce, and Dana ny then wanted the remainder of his | fee of S15, but she refused to pay until she received a copy of the decree.
 She did not know the man who act ed as judge, but he was tall, of dark complexion and had one thumb band aged as if it had been injured.
 Mrs Handy, Charles B. Gary and Edward Campbell of Stafford Springs corroborated her evidence. Clerk Tingier of the superior court said that Judge Prentice held court all day at Holland on the day in ques- ton.
 Medrie Gangnom of Stafford testi- fled that he gave Danahy bill of $22 to collect for ten per cent commission. He collected the money but witness l was never able to get only $3 from | Danahy.
 Judge Shumway said that he would not make an order for few days, as 1 it was possible that Lawyer Danahy l would want to be heard. On the eyi- 1 dence offered there was only one thing l for him to do. but he would not make any formal order at this time.
