 St. Michael's Polish parochial school will open Wednesday morning In the basement of the church on New Haven avenue, with a. mass, only for the school children, at 8 o'clock. This mass will be celebrated by Rev. Paul l Warszki pastor of the church, and will be said for the purpose of beginning 1.-the school term as well as the begnn- ing of the school itself in a proper manner.
 The opening of this school will mean as much if not more, to the Polish children than the dedication of the new church on Labor day meant to the Polish people at large. Formerly these children were compelled to attend the public and parochial schools of the vi- cinity and they did not advance rapidly because of their poor knowledge of English. In their own new school they will be first taught how to speak the English language and then afterwards mathematics, etc., by very competent teachers.
 The new school occupies the whole basement of the church which has been transformed into four very fine school rooms, the work having been complet- ed last week. These rooms are very spacious and very light and will make very desirable school rooms.
 Rev. Paul Warszki, the hard-work- ing pastor of the church, has secured able and competent teachers for his school. Besides himself he has secur- ed Miss Mary Walsh of Mt. Pleasant street, and Antony Josiorkowsk, two very good teachers from this city, and | for the third Rev. Father Janowski, who comes direct from Francis Joseph 1 |college, of Limburgh, Austria, where he holds professorship, Father Janowskl | will not arrive in this city, however, Iuntll Saturday morning. Father Waszki expects one hundred pupils as beginners. They are to in- l cIude all the Polish. Slavish and Bo- hemian Catholic children between the l ages of 6 and fl years in Ansonia, Seymour, Shelton and Derby. This will be the first school of this kind ever started in this vicinity 1 Next year, Father WaszN will have l Sisters of Mercy for teachers in his school With this end in view he is having the house south of the church, formerly occupied by Samuel Sanford and family, raised and improved This house is to be used as the priests resi- dence, while the old Bushnell prop ! erty which is now used for the pas- tors home, will be converted into a l convent This work will take some time to complete and this is one rea- son why work has begun immediately.
 As the new school is to be opened on Wednesday morning this will nec- essarily mean that the children will be around the church every day. The railing along the stonewall on the short road and in fact the road itself Is in poor condition,
