TALK OF OPENING UP THE ROAD
 ON EAST SIDE OF LAKE.

The property bordering on the south end of Taunton lake, known as Lake side, comprising 20 acres of land more or less, has been sold by Elmer w. Fairchild to Frank w. Beers of Bridge port. MT Fairchild acquired the property about five years ago of R. H. stood that MT Beers will build a cot tage on the property for his own occu- pancy. President David c. Peck, of the Newtown Savings bank, who owns land adjoining MT Beers on the east side of the lake, would like to see a road opened up along the east shore. This would open up some magnificent sites for cottages. There is no doubt that with little enterprise summer colony can be built up as large as now exists at Lake Waramaug. Perhaps MT Beers purchase is the opening wedge. Let us hope so.

VIEWPOINT HIGH SCHOOL.
STATEMENT BY HIGH SCHOOL COMMIT
 TEE.

At special meeting held Saturday, AugusG g, the town voted unanimously to establish and maintain a public High schoOl.''
 On Thursday of the week following the Board of Education chose High school committee and the following day this committee met and organized. They have rented rooms in the New town Academy, which is centrally To- cated and near the railroad station They have also engaged a teacher of experience: A. M. Tibbitts, who for the past three years and half has done excellent service as principal of the Salisbury High school. The school will be opened on Monday, September
 The Board of Education has estab- lished a scheme of study for three of the four years of the course, as follows:
 First English, arithmetic, United States history, physical eeogra, phy, physiology and botany.
 Second Year-Classical Course: AL zebra, Latin, rhetoric, English history l2 English Course: Algebra, rhetoric. English history, physics and geology.
 Third Year-(D Classical Course: Caesar, Greek, geometry, civil govern ment, English literature and A merican literature. (2) English Course: Geom- etry, civil government, French. book keeping, English literature and Amer ican literature.
 The course of study for the fourth year will be set forth as soon as it is evident that there will be scholars to take it.
 Examinations for admission to the High school will be held by the School Board at the Newtown Academy, Sat urday, August 30, at 9.3O a. m.
 Applicants will be examined in the following branches:
 Arithmetic (tO simple interest), ge- ography, English, spelling, reading, United States history and writing.
 1t is not the intention to make an over-rigid examina tion and pupils from all the districts are urged to pre- sent themselves, the purpose being to admit as many who are qualified to undertake the work as can be cared for by the teacher.
 The tuition to all in the town is free and the committee is confident that it has provided advantages for the young people fully equal to the present needs, and we propose to work on from what IS now practicable to the end of estab- fishing high school of the best grade.
 It IS hoped that he generosity and eUO.iO oPAAAo oAAO"h Oy CllC UO"ll Ill cS- tablishing the school will be appreci- ated by all our citizens and that par ents will be ready even to make some sacrifice for the purpose of sending their children. This intellectual equipment for the work of life thus easily afforded can hardly be over estimated.
 0To pupils from other towns the tu- ition will be $20 for the year and we hope to secure the patronage of adjoin- ing towns where there is no public High school.
 The state permits scholars in such towns to attend public High school in another town and requires the town in which said scholars reside to pay the tuition, while the state reimburses the town two-thirls of the amount so expended.
 We are confident that we can satisfy the needs of the boys and girls in the nefghboring towns and shall be glad to have them present at the examina- tiOns.

THE BEE prints this week an excel lent likeness of K. J. HurIburt of Washington, for many years the fore most business man in that town, and a power in the community in the days when loaded teams of produce made their way from the Litchtield county hills to New Haven. He was a man who would have been q business leader had he lived in 1902, when business methods are so changed from 50 yeafs ago. The cut was made especially for
 A copy of the premium list of the Danbury fair has been laid upon our desk. It is from the press of the Dan- bury News, nicely illustrated and handsome specimen of the art typo- graphical. The directors of the fair go on making the arrangements year after year with the pleasant assurance that the fair will be success, no mat ter what the weather is.
 September 1918 comes the lively New Milford fair, and with good weather it will be d success. The di- rectors of this enterprising fair don't expect to eclipse the Danbury exhibi- tion. The people of New Milford and surrounding towns are quite loyal to their home fair, as they ought to be. This fair is made d sort of a social oc- casion, and people go quite as much to see their friends as to gaze upon the oxen, the big pumpkins, potatoes, and the luscious apples and pears. Horse men will be especially interested in the speed program provided for this year, and we look for successful fair all round. Newtown ought to send up good delegation as New Milford people are quite generous patrons of our own Newtown fair.

 The Union Agricultural Society of Monroe, Huntington and Trumbull once again come to the front, this the 30th time, to hold their fair, and an- nounce that the time is to be Septem- Der 24th and 25th. Though the fair has gone through with some dis couraging things in the line of wealth CT, etc., it is just as lively as ever and will give just that same generous show it always does, one that always makes us feel as if we were sure to get our moneys worth and would go again, This society is offlcered by men who take great interest in it's welfare and who give their best efforts to it's suc- cess. Their list of races is attractive. and with the many other attractions offered at this fair, a crowd is sure to be present. This fair is conducted by tie towns of Huntington, Trumbull and Monroe, but many people from outside always go to this show, each year increasing in numbers. Any fur ther information will be furnished by s. T. Palmer, Secretary, Shelton, Conn. ]

The Newtown friends of E. G. Seeley of ROxbury will be pained to learn of the serious accident which befell him a few weeks ago. He was kicked by horse, fracturing the knee pan. In personal note to the editor he writes: Fl am laid by and have been since the 2d day of August. I am on the bed where they laid me that day, and have been night and day since. I was raking hay and was kicked by the horse on my knee, breaking and bruis- ing it badly. Dr Ford of Washington has had the care of it. We have suc- ceeded nicely in reducing the swelling and soreness and we now seem to be successful in retaining the fractured pieces in their places for union. At first suffered much pain but now am quite free from it. In few weeks more, with care and patience, I hope to have knee as good as ever. It was a sudden and unexpected call to ''halt and right about face." 1 was literally kicked out of business and when will be able to get in again can't say. Pret- ty long time for Seeley to lie in bed, but my courage is pretty good yet."
