imperative to d live society. Let the
devotional exercises be spirited and
full OF courage"
Night Service.
Rev. Mr.. Sihiey opened the even
ing services of devotion. This was fol
lowed by an address by DR.. Bull on
his own work in Korea. He said that
the work among the natives is pro
crossing wonderfully and that with
the continued support of the church
the work would continue as nicely as
it had in the past. He sad that the
natives showed a peculiar thirst tor
a new creed that they can firmly be
lieye in. and that all of the brutal
practices of the ancient religions are
now, since the coming of the white
man, proving TO be more unpopular
each DAY. The natives see the Supe-
rior condition of the white man and
see that the condition is a result of
a higher and better creed than theirs.
and that the white man could do
more things and better things than
the yellow man fer the simple reason
that ne gets his strength from a
higher and J~uer source than the ma
tive.
With this the convention closed
and the members adjourned into the
Sunday school room, where a very
pretty informal reception was given
in honor of the visiting ladies, and
Mrs. Reavis of Nashville.
The members OF the delegations
are highly pleased with the result of
the convention and il the plans that
were formulated at the meeting are
carried out there will be some excel
lent work done both in the foreign
and home missions in future.

Last week Monday, Mir. A. K. r. Rowe, by the direction of stephen C.. Harris, ol Providence, began demolish- ing one of the oldest landmarks in the city, yet for some time has been an un- slightly feature on one Of Pntnam's choicest prospective views. It has aid ed to obstruct the view of our beautiful .Quinebaug Fallsw It has occupied land that will, 1t Is hoped, be trans formed, before long, from most un- slightly spot in one of the most visited parts of the city to one Of great attrac- tiveness.
 That there is always right way to get at any matter K proved by the fact that in addition to removing tie build ing MT. Harris has promised to fill in the cellar and make the grounds pre- sentable.
 In his intercourse with Mir. Shaw in regard 10 the property desired for the park, Mir. Harris, although resident of Providence, has manifested desire to have his property in Putnam attrac- tive in appearance and will cooperate with tine citizens committee in remoy- Ing therefrom anything objectionable.
 When the necessary amount Is raised for the purchase Of the land, il will be found that Mr. Hairis has. in n very quiet way, contributed quite generous iy towards the proposed improvements around the falls.

p.,.sm's Educational lustitutiess.

The citizens of this town and city have evineed high appreciation of the benefit of good schools, and have made generous appropriations to pos sess the best that money can supply.
 We have often spoken commenting ly of our schools since they were placed in the controI of the Town School Board who have greatly increased their efficiency by careful selection of the teachers, particularly in regard to the Principals, upon whom so much de- pends in their control of the varied abilities of the teachers so as to secure the best results in educating such a promiseaous body of young people as compose all schools. It Is exceedingly gratifying to have the estimate held hy all our citizens In regard to their schools and teachers confirmed hy such high authority as secretary Charles n. Hine, of the Connecticut State Board of Education, and Professor Gregory, of Yale College.
 These two eminent authorities visit ed our High School recently. Secretary Hine took occasion te compliment the School Board upon the efficient corps of teachers in the school. He stated that they were of higher standard than in many towns where much larI- CT salaries were paid, He thought bet ter results would he had If the theaek- CTS were not changed so often.
 The Board have found il impossible to keep the best teachers here as they found positions elsewhere at increased salaries. Acting upon the suggestion of Secretary Hine, the Reard has dec.- ded tn increase the salaries of the teaeSl- CTS If they would agfee te remain here another year and not seek position else here.
 The following teachers have agreed to remain and were elected at a meet ing of the Board last Monday night;
 Principal Spratt-salary increased from sl 100 lo sls5o.
 Miss nedy---ssoo, with an additional Si0 for teaching writing half All hour week in each of the five upper grades of Israel Putnam School.
 Miss Amy Walen--s6Go.
 Miss Marion Titus--trom 500 to Ssoo.
 Miss tiilchrist--declined 10 remain, as she Is not going to teneh next year.
 Miss Hayden-desires to teach some other branches than the ones she now teaches, and will 20 elsewhere if she finds what she wants.
 The Board voted to change the Com merclal Course from three years to q four years course. as k being done ge- nerally throughout the State.
 Secretary liine also spoke of the crowded condition uf the building, which will come up for consideration at a future meeting of the Board.
 Pomfret, Woodstock, and killingiy, besides the common schools, each has an institution for teaching the higher branches of education, and Thomp- sons new High school building, we expect, will be opened next fall for ser. vice, so that we may say there k no part of the State better provided for giving it's young people an excellent education than ihe section comprising Putnam and it's four surrounding towns.

Residential Thompson Annoyed by the
 Automobile,

Our sister town of Thompson is di- vided into two parts--a residential and
 a business part, entirely separate--the
 former being on the hill, the latter in
 the valley beneath, and do not merge
 as in most New England towns. Each
 is complete ant beautiful for its spe-
 cial purpose. The manufacturing and business portion is made and kept tidy
 and pleasing to the eye as no other mill town:in the Stale can su pass. The re- sideniial section has many oi the old style New England mansions, comfort able and quiet appearing in All their surroundings, indicating refined and well-lo-do class Of residents. They were glad when the trolley line was laid through the business section us the peo- ple there were glad to have IL, as per feet quiet was not what they sought, as the residents above did. But now their quiet thoroughfares are invaded by the automobile in countless numbers, their occupants delighted with those quiet,
 pleasant sights. They in themselves
 may not. be objected. to, but the cloud of dust is, being as intoierable as one of the plaques. The residents are new de- yising how to escape the annoying dust afYiicting them. They are considering the plan of crude oil, A is done in sec tions of the West, where, 1t Is claimed, but two spriuklings of oil are required duringit the summer. If that succeeds, then the 1tos will be welcomed as they are now dreaded. They will eniiven
 without affecting the quiet and order so long the joy of the residents.

 the world invites the auto. In Eng land the residents 10 get rid of the.dust
