GARFIELD NOTES.
Russell Heitbrink.)

Last evening the mothers of Gar
field pupils were invited to the
school building and a fairly large
per cent were present. After a short
time spent in social conversation all
assembled in the large study room
and Principal n. c. Heironimus
spoke briefly on a few subjects con-
nected with the school. Reference
was first made to the tendency to
permit girls to enter society at too
early an age, and the detrimental eff
feet of this in school work was poin-
ted out. In close connection with this
the too great attention given to dress
by girls Of grammar school age. This
tendency to over emphasize dress
became a serious threat to the value
of the public school when it either
makes the child of the laboring man
feel out of place among her better
dressed companions Or imposes I'M
necessary and irksome burdens on
the already severely taxed fathers.
An appeal was made for greater SIM
plicity of dress for school and es-
pecially for the school commence
ments.
Following this there was some dis
cussion of the place and purpose Of
physical education in the public
schools. An outline Of the work be-
ing attempted at the Garfield school.
Only those pupils who desire to take
the gymnastic drills and whose par
ents are willing for them to do so
are admitted to the gymnastic class
es. In these classes there is no at
tempt made at fancy drills but rath-
er to keep the mind as we'll as the
body ready to obey.
Games were also shown to have a
legitimate part in wholesome educa-
ton and the attempt of the school
to provide for this was set forth
briefly.
The visitors were then invited to
the gymnasium. Here was a drill by
the girls gymnastic class followed
by a game of girls basket ball be-
tween two picked teams of the
school. During the wait between the
halves Of the basket ball game the
girls gymnastic class gave an illus
tration of the games used to enliven
the class work.

Two interesting contests are ex-
pected in the Garfield Gymnasium
this evening when the basket ball
boys meet the team from Whitewater
and the polo boys meet the team
from High School freshmen. The
Garfield boys have been practicing
faithfully and while both games are
with teams of older players they ex-
pect to make a good showing.

NUTMEG GRATIN0S. Interesting Items Boiled Down For the Benefit of our Busy Readers

While sitting in chair preparatory to an examination of his eyes last night in the office of Prof W. T. Ely of Main street, Middletown. Matthew & Nolan, 26 years old, fell to the floor. dead. Dr Walsh said that death was due to heart failure.

 James Morello and Peter MongelIo of Southington had dispute Wednes- day night. Morello cut Mongello in the neck, hand and breast and attempt ed to leave town.

After a plea of not guilty the case was continued until March 26, Thomas Rich becoming surety for $2OO. Mongello is in the New Haven hospital. Both men will recover.
 Judging from the statements which have appeared in the Meriden Record, the purposes of the recently organized Landlords association do not meet with favor from the rent payers. II is proposed to organize Rent Payers association for the purpose of compell- ing landlords to keep their tenements in better condition. The Record says A gentleman who has paid rent for a number of years, when interviewed said: Yes, sir; we need Rent Pay ers' union or organization of some kind. We're being soaked pretty heavy prices for what We get, and now they're talking of putting on more. I've heard some talk of organ ization. but think no definite steps have yet been taken.'"

NEW DAY NURSERY.
Sisters Who Are to Have Charge of St. Mary's Are Now Here.

Three Sisters of Charity from Con- vent, N. J., arrived here yesterday to take charge of the new St Mary's Day nursery, at the corner of Cole and ScOvill streets, purchased some time ago for the Immaculate Concep- ton parish by Father Slocum. The place has undergone a thorough reno vation and is now almost as good as a new building. A handsome main entrance has been put dn, new maple doors laid. and the whole interior newly painted, papered and grained.
 An up-to-dat heating system has been installed and the different depart ments comfortably, but not expen- sively, furnished. A Democrat re- porter was shown the building this morning by the Sisters It includes reception room, dining room, kinder garten room, playrOom, bath and toi- let rooms, clothes rooms, Sisters dim ing and bedrooms, kitchen and a very large room provided with cots to be used by little ones who may want to have a sleep during the daytime. The main entrance and toilet rooms are tiled, and the sanitary arrangement of the plumbing is the very best. The good Sisteys didn't select the choice spots for NA enselyes. preferring to make their headquarters oh the Sco- will street side and leave the other for the children where the sun shines in through the windows during the greater part of the day The build ing Is thoroughly ventilated and for its size probably has no superior for the purpose of 8 day nursery. It is across the way from St Mary's paro- ch1al school. so that no matter what the weather conditions may be chil- dren left there will experience no trouble in passing from one place to the other. The nursery will be a blessing to people who have small
 children and have nobody to look af- ter them while they are at work. The expense for care and board will be so small that nobody will miss it, about five cents per head. so that the bene- fits to be derived by the opening of such place cannot be overestimated
 Father Slocum deserves great credit for his untiring zeal in this and other things pertaining to the needs of his people. While pushing the day nursery along he also kept up opera
 t1ons on the new school buildine on the opposite side of the street, so that notwithstanding the severity of the winter most of the masonry work is finished and the roof is being put on,

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit o3 --------v ss a matter attained by uns daunted persistence ih matters oe quality and littleness of price. backed by the most liberal and generous cred- 1t proposition ever offered to the puD- lic by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Co.
 Anybody car bay for cash. That's easy" There's no special honor in the Tact that one can walk into stores lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it's tne coldest sort of proposition, a mere transaction. To have creCir given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled 10 1t. What great honor 1t is to be able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange t0 pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a great dignity there Is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects.
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes it's existence to this great comodity. To buy for cash. then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit is always a distinction that ona should be proud of.

SAGE ADVICE TO TEACHERS
Greatest Care Should Be Taken Not to Kill the Thirst for Knowl-
 edge in Children.

Tn teaching facts to the young the great thing to aina at is not discipline,
 but interest Learning should be
 joy. children should be assisted for ward by attraction in front rather than coerced by impact from behind. The greatest care should be taken never to kill that thirst for Knowledge which
 is natural to child. It is wicked
 thing if preparatory or any other
 school converts an intelligent and in-
 quiring child into dull and satiated
 professional schoolboy or schoolgirl,
 says Sir Oliver Lodge, in the Conten-
 porary
 The feeling of mastery and growing
 powerais what more than anything con-
 duces to interest and stimulus, not
 merely the presentation of interesting
 facts; it is the consciousness that eff
 fort is remunerative, and that they are
 really getting on, that encourages to further effort; whereas to feel no re-
 suit of all their labors, but to be made and kept aware of stupidity and fail- ure, is discouraging and kills all spirit. Labor at the treadmill or the crank was of this character-nothing came of it-and as 8 result 1t was penalty, perhaps sinfully, wearisome; but simi- lar labor on a bicycle is felt only as a joy, and the amount of it that can be undergone. except against too strong an adverse wind, is astonishing.
 The teaching should be stimulating.
 so as to make learners eager for more knowledge. Food given to people who are hungry is the food which can be assimilated. Compulsory feeding, after | the manner of the Strasburg geese, only produces disease. Another of my ! theses or educational counsels is: First arouse interest, then supply in- ] formation, or put children in the way l of acquiring it for themselves, then 1 test and consolidate and systematize it.

MILITARY EMCAffPnENT
Standard Required of Recruits in Na.
 tional Guard.

Adjutant-G General Cole said yester- day that be could not at present tell what duty the Naval Battalion is to have during it's active service in Au- gust. He said that 1t appears ut present as if the brigade will have it's tour of duty at Mantle.
 An order issued Thursday adopts the standard used by the United States army for the physical and med icaI examination of all recruits for the National guard, and gives full in- structions for the guidance of sur geons in the physical examination of applicants for enlistment. An ad- vantage is the fact that when the National guard is called out by the president the men will be accepted as they are and will not be required to pass another physical examination.
 First among the requirements are the following:
 Less height than five feet four inches should reject, height taken in stocking feet.
 "A chest measurement less than thirty-two inches at the termination of normal expiration should reject (Chest measurement taken in under shirt)
 A difference between expiration and Inspiration of less than two inches should reject.

ELIZABETHPORT, N. J., March 19. A fire in the oil works of Borne & Scrymser, which were badly damaged by fire a short time ago, caused a loss estimated at about $2OO,OOO. The damage at the former fire was about $75, 5,OOO. At this fire, as at the last one, number of oil tanks exploded, seri- ously imperiling the lives of the fire. men. The fire started from an un- known source. The tank near which it started exploded almost instantly, and the fire was thrown all over the works and was further spread as other tanks blew up.

THE BOY THAT LAUGHS.
| know funny little boy
The happiest ever born;
His face is like a beam of Joy
,Altho his clothes are torn.
saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for groan-
But how he laughed! Do you suppose
He struck his funny bone?
There's sunshine in each word he speaks,
His laugh is something grand
It's rippleS overrun his cheeks
Like waves on snowy sand
He smiles the moment he awal1es,
And till the day is done;
The schoolroom for joke he takes
His lessons are but fun.
No matter how the day may go,
You cannot make him cry;
He's worth dozen boys I know
Who .pout and NOPE and sigh.

THE YEAR AND THE DAYS.

The Year is general riding by,
A general stout and tall.
And little it matters how hard try,
We cannot keep step at all.
No matter how eager and spry it's clear.
We cannot keep pace with the mighty Year!
But, all, there's company called Days.
The merry and brave and wise;
They march to the music that Duty plays,
Whatever the changing skies,
And need stumble, need fall
And may keep step With them, comrades all! rs
Make ready!-saute!-as the great New Year
Rides by to the roll Of drums;
And then fall in line with soldiers cheer
For each little Day that comes.
The Days like children that come and CO.
