At the Close of This Week There Are
l,22s Prisoners With Many More
to Come Shortly.

All of the several hundred new CELL
at the Moundsville, West Virginia
state penitentiary have been complet-
ed, and at the rate they are filling
up, all will be occupied within 3
month.
sin spite of pardons and paroles, the
population Of the penitentiafy is stead
lily on the increase. At the close OF
last week there were 1928 enrolled
In view OF the fact that many Of the
criminal courts in the larger counties
Of the state are soon to convene, it is
expected that the population will be
greatly increased within few weeks
1t is understood that an effort is be-
ing made to have as many federal
prisoners as possible taken from the
state penitentiary and in the future
receive no more of them. The late
Warden Haddox, in his annual report
stated that the federal prisoners,
though in the minority. caused most
OF the trouble in the West Virginia

FLAGS ON THE SGHOOLHOUSES
THE SELECTMEN'S DUTIES.
Newtown, Friday, October 70, leo7.


 By vote of the Mems club The Bee prints the law as to placing and main- taining flags on the schoolhouses. It would appear that certain districts in town are neglected as to the law, which Is as follows:
 Section 2l39: The selectmen shall provide every schoolhouse in which a flag is maintained within thelr respec- tive towns with United States flag of silk or bunting, not less than four feet in length and suitable flag staff, or other arrangement whereby such flag may be displayed on the school house grounds every school day when the weather will permit and on the in. side of the schoolhouse on other school days, and renew such flag and appara- tus when necessary.
 Section 2ll: If any board selectmen should wiIfully refuse or neglect to provide the flag or apparatus required by Section 2l39 or to renew suci flag or apparatus, when necessary, for pe- riod of 30 days after the reception by them of written notice signed by a school visitor, a member of the town school committee or board of educa- tion, or a resident of school district in which the said school is located, that said schooihouse is not provided with such flag or apparatus, or that such flag or apparatus should be renewed, each of such board ,f se'ectmen, who has so received notice, shall be fined not more than S10.

COMMUTING STUDENTS.

The third week of MT Cunning hams new school, the Bridgeport Bus mess college, shows the enrolment of students that is very gratifying. Some special features make this school of interest to people of Newtown. For one thing the schoolrooms in the Court Exchange Building, are open from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., and teachers are in attendance during those hours to assist those who wish to put in extra work in addition to the work of the sessions from 9.30 to 12 m., and 1.3O to 3.30 p. m. There is also nice lunch room for the girls, separated entirely from the study rooms so that for commut- ing students there need be no waiting or lettering on the streets while waiting for trains. Naturally lighted and splendidly ventilated. the conditions make for conservation of good health. Modern furniture, built on comfortable lines, with an individual desk for each student, provides an ideal working equipment. But, most important of all, are the modern method or teach ing, and the late edition of textbooks, which, in the hands of skillful and practical teachers, produce results measured only by the ability and ap- plication of the students. Bookkeep- ing, shorthand, typewriting, and Eng fish are the subjects taught, with special attention to penmanship. Mir Cunningham's name has been famil- far one in connection with business col lege work for many years, and his new school is the acme in all that is modern and model.
