Middletown. Conn, July 23.--Miss Fan
ME Geer, who for seventeen years had
been the principal OF the Millers Farm
school in this town, has been removed
after struggle lasting seven years
Miss Geer was member OF the Teach
ers' Annuity guild OF the state. which
pays all teachers who have taught thirty
years half their last yearly salary as an
annuity
She and her friends were anxious that,
as she had taught twenty-eight years.
she should continue I'm service as prin-
cipal until the time had expired. Her
opponent claimed that as teacher she
was behind the times. and that during her
principalship only two who had been un-
der her instruction had been graduated
from the city high school.
For the last year the fight had been
hot and when the time for the annual
district meeting came Committeeman
Budde failed to call Il. He was request
ed 10 do 50 by the opponents OF the prin-
cipal, but. acting on the advice of two
members OF the school board, declined to
do So
This threw the election into the hands
Of the school visitors. which meant that
Budde would be reelected and Miss
Geer would be retained. The school Wis

ONLY A BOY.
Hs Was PsIchsd In a Tree
and Caused Much Trouble.

A strange and peculiar noise proceeding
from a tree at the corner of Plain street
and Willard avenue disturbed the resi-
dents of the vicinity yesterday afternoon.
An investigation proved that instead of
a golden-throated specimen OF a new
species OF song bird or the like the noise
came from the strong throat and lungs
OF small boy.
The noise continued until a certain Irish
officer stopped It by climbing up the tree
and bringing down the culprit, who was
taken TO the 5th police station. 1t was
here that efforts were made to make the
boy speak, but of no avail Consequently
he was removed to the Rhode Island hos
pital where an examination OF his oe-
sophagus was made and his lungs socnd-
ed But even here the boy refused to
speak So he was removed to the 5th
police station again and locked up No
sooner had the key been turned in the
door than he again uttered sounds that
echoed throughout the whole building
Before the officers could decide what
20 do with the boy a woman came In
looking for her lost son. The strong
lunged youth was at once identified as
the missing youth. The woman said
that she gave her son. who is named John
Morris 50 cents yesterday TO buy some
provisions with and that she had not
seen him since. The boy had sent the
money for cigarettes. His great ability
20 use his lungs after smoking the same
would seem TO contradict the general
theory that coffin nails' destroy ones
wind.
Mrs Morris took her son home with
her 10 20 Luther avenue where they live.
Johnnie is given TO running away and
recently ran away and spent a few days
In Bristol.
