HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI
Preliminary Steps Taken For Organ.
 ixation Last Night

Principal Wilby presided at a meet
 ing of Crosby High school pupils last night at which steps were taken for the formation of all alumni association to include all graduates of the High school. This means all who have d. plomas from the department of educa- tion no matter whether the date goes back to the time when the institution was known as the Waterbury High school or comes in since 1t was charged to the Crosby High school. Mir Wilby spoke encouragingly of the project and David J. Bolger, who has been untir- ing in his efforts on behalf of the pro- posed Reorganization talked at some length on the matter. Remarks were also made by Frank J. Luddington and others. All favorable to the proposi- tion. It was finally decided to refer the question to committee consisting of Messrs Bolger and Luddington of the class of 1904 and Mattoon of 1903 with a request that they report to an adjourned meeting to be held Thurs day night. A great many efforts have been made to form an association of this kind in Waterbury. but for some reason or other none of them proved successful. It looks as if it remained for the graduates of 1905 to push the work to a successful completion.

BOARD OF CHARITIES
sfoeksids Home Will Bs Fitted Up
 With Window Scsssns.

At the meeting of the department of charities yesterday afternoon Superin- tendent Moran of the Brookside home was granted leave of absence for a month, with the understanding that he will furnish substitute to the sat lsfactiOn of Commissioners Bronson and Chase. Mir Moran will utilize the time given him in sightseeing i'll the old world It was decided to put avn ings on the office windows at the Brookside home and fit up the entire building with screens. Superinten- dent Doran was instructed to take steW to have cOnservator appointed over John McMahOn of WolcOtt street, who is said to be squandering his property since the death of his wife a short time ago. In the opinion of the board the cows at the town farm are not the best ill the market and 1t was decided to let them go and pur- chase better ones.
 Commissioners Chase and Bronson told of visit to the Brookside home since the last meeting of the board. They had dinner with the inmates and were we'll satisfied with it. The menu was first rate for anybody and the dishes were so clean they would do one good to look at them.
 It was decided to close the office Saturday afternoons during the months of July and August. It was the sense of the board that Mir Doran and Mir Atwood should always be ready to respond to calls during the Saturday half holiday season, the same as usual.

BUCKS HILL SCHOOL
Buildint Committss Have Decided
 Location Unit For New School

Editor of the Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: The building committee have recently made a thorough exami- nation of the Foster lot for the pur- pose of building new school house. They have found conditions worse than they expected. They find too much rock. They have decided that th9y can- not build on this lot and keep within the appropriation of $5,OOO. At re- cent school meeting held for the pur- pose of appropriating more money, the district instructed the committee not to expend any more than 5000 for q school house completed. This would include grading, fencing, digging q we'll etc. So you see the committees s hands are tied. They cannot go ahead and build on this site. The district will have to select new site before We can get new school house.
 The district committee is being sey- erely criticised for the action it has taken in this matter. It is true this lot was selected by the Naugatuck school visitors, but the district committee purchased it, gave district pote of 5000 for it without consulting either the building committee, or the district about it, and further there are ugly ru- mors that the minutes of some of the school meetings have been falsified ill order to justify the committee in this action. Illegal voting Is also claimed. However this may be the people in the district are thoroughly aroused They are determined to probe this whole matter to the bottom and find out who is responsible for all this foolishness and unnecessary expense and hereafter they intend to have fair play.

 One of the accomplishments taught the young women who attend the Con- nectfcut Agricultural College at Willi- mantle, is plain and fancy sewing and dressmakihg, and this year the young women in the graduating class feel proud of the fact that they have be- come sufficiently proficient to be able to make their own graduating dresses. An expert who was permitted to in- spect the dresses recently says they are worthy of an artist. The young women will wear them at the gradua- ton exercises in the big tent on the campus Wednesday afternoon.
