BOARD Of
EDUCATION
Changes Are Made il,
the Teaching
Corps.

At meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton Yesterday morning plans for the
new Reformatory were presented and
discussed by the members.
A letter was read from Secretary VII
son of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington regarding the estab-
lishment of an agricultural school in
Honolulu in which he says:
without doubt institutions for agri-
cultural education should be establish
ed in Hawaii as soon as practicable. It
is however. a question well worth con-
sidering whether an agricultural insti-
tuition of college grade is at present
needed in Hawaii. Experience under
similar conditions elsewhere would
seem to indicate that it would be better
to establish agricultural schools of sec
ondary grade in which along with the
studies ordinarily pursued in high
schools a considerable amount of in
struction in the theory and practice of
agriculture may be given. Such schools
should have farms well equipped with
live stock and farm machinery, and
instruction in agriculture should be
along practical lines, with special re-
ference to local and agricultural needs.
The principals of such schools should
be men trained in our agricultural coll
leges and in thorough sympathy with
industrial education
a letter was received from Mrs. /. c.
Lyman, Josephine Deyo and c. c. Ken
nedy of Hflo petitioning for a kinder
garten school a Naiakea. There being

A CARD FROM REV @. T. LINsLEY.
1t will be manifestly impossible for
me to go the rounds of this large par
ish and call upon all the families con-
nected with it before March 10. 1,
therefore, desire to announce to the
members Of Trinity parish and to all
others Of our friends in Newtown that
Mrs Linsley and myself will be glad to
welcome them at the Rectory at any
time before the above date. shall
endeavor, however, to visit few per-
sons who, owing to illness or infirmity,
are "shut in" and unable to get to
church or to the RectOry.
On Sunday, March 2, it will be my
privilege to administer the Holy Com
munion and, I regret to say, for the
last time as rector of Trinity parish.
I afiectionately urge all the commune
cants of the parish to be present at
that service unless hindered for weigh
ty cause, and especially do hope that
those who have been confirmed during
my rectorship will be present then to
receive the Blessed Sacrament of the
Body and Blood of Christ at my hands.

SAVED HIM FROM TORTURE.

There is no more agonizing trouble
than piles. The constant itching and
burning make life intolerable. No
position is comfortable. The torture
is unceasing. DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve cures piles at once. For skin
diseases, cuts, burns, bruises, all kinds
of wounds it is unequaled. J. S. Gerall
St Paul, Ark, says; "From 1865 suf-
piles and could find nothing to help
me until I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve. A few boxes completely cured

Holders of trust funds are limited
by law of this State in the selection of
investments. Savings Banks, while
presumably secure, pay but small
rate of interest. There are few well
managed stocks and bonds which are
legal investment for trustees. Among
these are the bonds of the Middlesex
Banking co. of Middletown, Conn.,, a
home institution which has done a
successful business for q years. These
bonds are issued in any amount from
800 up, pay five per cent and sell at
800. The we'll known firm of L. D.

the company for Is years. See their

THE TOWN SNOW BOUND.

The town was practically snow
bound for Saturday and Sunday. The
church attendance was very light as
few or none came in from the FARMS
Some Of the worst roads were opened
early in the week, yet travel over them
was very slow, with constant danger Of
turning over where one ventured from
the beaten track. AS near as can be
estimated about 10 inches of snow and
hail fell on Friday and Saturday, max
ing with the snow earlier in the week
from Is to IS inches.

1t was expected that New Fairfield

current year.
Although the travelling was of the
worst and the weather cold, yet the
attendance at the entertainment given
by the ladies of the Congregations
church on Tuesday evening of last
week was good. A house of 70 greeted
those who took part. Mrs Allaire and

Eight years ago on Washington's
birthday Rev Fl. L. Wheeler left his
earthly home to join his companion
who had preceded him only the
month before. So strong had been
the tie between husband and wife that
the life of the latter seemed to weaken
with the breaking Of it. AS year after
year passes away the cheerful presence
which had so long graced the house
hold has been sought for in vain.
Many of the dear friends and neigh
bors have also gone since then, 'but
the memory of the just is as shining
light which shineth more and more
unto the perfect day."
