SCHOOL NOTES
Edith Sperring, a second year student
is the author of the following compost
ton on,
"What Shall we Expect of Foreigners
Coming to our Country? How Shall
we Treat Them?''
The immigrants that come to this
country are supposed to obey the laws
of the United States and the poorer
class to find work and not be dependent
on the country. The people of the
United States should treat them kindly
as they are strangers in foreign land.
A great many foreigners come to this
country and earn lots of money. They
put it into the banks. And they then
take it out to go back to their native
country to spend it, which causes a
panic in the United States. If they
come to this country they should be ex-
pected to stay. After fourteen years
the foreigners are naturalized and are
called citizens and there they can hold
a government Office. The people should
see that they are educated. They should
not be sent right back but given a
chance to see what they can do.
ROSE CHAPTER o. E. s.
Rose chapter No. IA order of the
Eastern Star of Sharon is thriving or
ganization. From its number will be
seen that it was early organized in 1872
by the late Chauncey M. Hatch. For
many years it has maintained a steady
growth.
On Wednesday evening December
eighteenth was held the annual election
of officers and there was full attend
ance. After the transaction of routine
business worthy Matron Mrs. Mary j..
Whitney, who has many times before
filled the position with great acceptance,
was reelected. Sister Whitney is Post
Grand Chaplin of Connecticut. Then
followed the election of Worthy Patron,
and for that position /. N. Bartram was
elected for the tenth consecutive time.
We are informed that he made a
strenuous effort to have some younger
man accept the position but the ladies
wouldn't allow it. Not so much for his
dandy appearance but that he is always
in attendance at the Chapture meetings,
and one of the ladies complimented him
by saying 1--WE have got to take you be-
cause we cannot get anyone else," and
after speech Mr.. B. accepted the posi-
ton.
Then followed the selection of Asso-
ciate Matron. Mrs. Carrie Hoag, who
has been an earnest attendant in the
good work was selected. Miss Alzaida
Lloyd was elected conductress. Miss
Lloyd is always good in any position to
which she may be elected or appointed.
Miss Cora Thompson was chosen Asso-
ciate CONSTITUENCIES. She has ever been
a faithful attendant at the meetings of
the Chapter. The selection of secretary
is one of the most important positions
in any organization. Edward M. Win
chester, a young brother of theI order
was chosen az secretary. Brother Win
chester never misses meeting. The
treasurer for many years was reelected,
Mrs. Myra Tiedeman. Then followed
the appointed officers which is the work
of the Worthy Matron. Mrs. Whitney
announced the following officers: Ada,
Mrs. Jennie Vosburgh; Ruth, Mrs.
Grace Brace; Esther, Mrs. Katie Wike;
Martha, Mrs. VIM. Klebes; Electa, Miss
Emmeline Palmer. No better selections
could have been made for these various
positions. The position of Warden is a
necessary and important one. To this
place Mrs. Polhemus was appointed.
AS Seminal Mr.. Polhemus was chosen.
The organist was we'll selected in the
choice of Mrs. Sperring. The chapter
enters upon its work for the year with a
bright and prosperous outlook. We re-
greet that Mrs. Hazard, Worthy Matron
for several years was not able to be
present and accept again the position.
Mrs. Hazard was always regular in her
attendance and earnest in her work, al
though living some miles distant from
the Chapter room. To her belongs the
credit of placing the Chapter in the best
financial condition it has been for years.
At the next meeting of the Chapter
which occurs Wednesday evening Janu-
airy first is the installation of officers
and Rose chapter is fortunate to secure
the Hon. Brother L. J. Nickerson, P.
W. T. OF Blazing Star Chapter of Corn
wall and Deputy Grand Master of Litch-
field County and it is hoped that the
members Of Rose Chapter will all be
present and give him hearty welcome.
