PARocHIAL SCHOOLS.

Announcement Of Rev. Father Reyn-
olds to His Parish Last Sunday
Morning.
A topic causing a large amount of dis
cussion among our people, and really the
topic of interest during the week. has been
the announcement Sunday morning by
Father Reynolds to his congregation in
St. Charles church, that the time had
come for the establishment of parochial
schools in Bellows Falls. While Ii has
been known for some years that the
time would probably come for this change
before long, yet 1t causes deep feelings
of regret among those of our people not
attendants at the Catholic church, and
the same may be said of a surprisingly
large number of prominent families in
that church. On the other hand, 1t
brings a feeling of joy to a large number
of those who believe the interests of the
citizenship of the village as well as of
the Catholic church may be best served
by the change. 1t is an important mat
ter, and the influences growing therefrom
are far reaching because of the proper
tionately large number of pupils now In
the village schools who come from Catho-
lie families, nearly every one of whom
will probably attend the parochial
schools. careful accounting of the 776
10 or - are from North Walpole, shows
that 36S are from Catholic families, while
40S are Protestant. 1t is understood to be
the intention of the church to establish
as early as possible schools sufficient for
the younger scholars up to and including
the fifth grade. There is a possibility that
It may go as far as to include the ninth
grade, so as to fit them directly for the
High school, which will probably be done
later anyway. The relative proportion of
pupils up to the fifth grade shows a large
ma jority of Catholics, while above that
grade the reverse is true, as will be seen
from the numbers of pupils in the various
grades First grade, 127 pupils, of which
20 come from Catholic homes and 50 from
Protestant; I'd grade, 107 pupils, of which
So are Catholics and So Protestants; Sd
grade, 81 pupils, of which 81 are Catholics
and 81 Protestants; 4th grade, SO pupils,
of which 81 are Catholics and AZ Protest
ants; 5th grade, 81 pupils of which Al are
Catholics and 46 Protestants; 9Th grade,
IS pupils, of which 80 are Catholics and
So Protestants 7th grade, "a pupils, of
which 43 are Catholics and 81 Protestants;
Sth grade, 81 pupils, of which 16 are Catho-
lies and 35 Protestants; 9th grade, 80 pu-
pills, of which 10 are Catholics and %
Protestants.
1t is understood that Father Reynolds
has not decided upon any very definite

on Green street, or it may be that the
town will think best to sell to them build
ing No. l, commonly called the old High
school building. the grounds of which adj
join those of the Catholic church.
Father Reynolds said to his congrega-
ton in the course of his remarks that
their parish was now free from debt, and
the income of the church would be large
enough to support the school also.

day evening at II o'clock. She had been
insensible since about u o'clock. Sat

a grief when it came Mrs. Williams was

in 1915, and had spent most of her life
previous to coming here in Providence.
For several years she has been partially
an invalid and a great sufferer at times,
thus being unable to join in the work of
the church and other organizations as
she otherwise would have done. She will
be missed in the community, and in her
home most of all, for she was an affec-
tionate wife and mother, looking we'll to
the ways of her house" She leaves, be-
sides her husband, two sons, Walter c.

A WASTED LIFE.
Nearly Nine Years I'm Jail

Pitiful indeed is the story told OF
Lizzie Finley, of New Haven. Conn
Once pretty and beloved, l6 years ago
she took to drink. and since she started

three-quarter years in jail for drunk.
enness.
Think of i'll Convicted III times Of
intoxication she will have passed 5000
days in Jail for heroffenses when the
penalty inflicted for her last oflense
shall have been rounded out.
There is no denying the fact that this
woman, whom the police call the
star drunkard" of the city. has been
attractive. Traces of refinement and
beauty still linger in the dissipated
face, and there is that in her rancorous
voice which reminds one that some
time in the past she might have ooen
listened TO with love by husband and
little ones.
Sixteen years since she began TO
drink, and here she was mp again for
the nth timei The record was enough
to make one shudder and 20 awaken
the pity OF the most hardened for this
poor besotted creature.

but often and often judgment had been
suspended TO give her a chance 10 re-
form, but, like "Jane Cakcbread.' She
never reformed and her case seems
