SCHOOL BOARDS STATEMENT.
Bethlehem Officials Endorse Work Of
SuPt. L. S. Mills of Waterbury.


At meeting Of the board of educa-
tion of Bethlehem last Saturday the
following communication correcting
statements made and published several
weeks ago, by a member of that board,
was drawn up and submitted to each
for his signature. making the boards
action unanimous. The boards state
ment follows:
Superintendent and Board United in
the Support of the Teachers and the
Schools.
AN article respecting the Bethle-
hem schools appeared in the Water
bury Republican January p. This ar
ticle misrepresented the teachers, the
superintendent and the board. For the
sake Of common justice to each the
board desires to have it known that
it was not conscious of any disagree
ment nor did it authorize the publica-
ton Of any such report.
The state superintendent L. s.
Mills of Waterbury, has often stated
his desire to cooperate with the
board in the best interests of the
schools and has done so in fair and
Just manner. as an examination of his
work and reports shows The super
intendent and board are united in
their support of the schools and the
teachers. The work Of each school has
been discussed as to methods and
means of advance. 1t would seem
someone mistook these discussions for
a disagreement. The board regrets ex-
ceedingly that the teachers have been
1nispresented to the public and the re-
ports of the superintendent misquoted
The board has confidence in both
teachers and superintendent and de-
sires both to feel they are supported
III their efforts to give the children a
sound education. Whatever requests
Mr.. Mills makes Of the teachers are
made after consultation with the
board and the board viii support Mr..
Mills in carrying them into effect.
Respectfully yours,
JAMES w. FLYNN,
Chairman.

THE MORTGAGE.


He bought in sixteen sixty-hve a farm
Of stumps and stones,
His name was God Be Giorihed. his
~, other name was Jones';
lie put a mortgage on the farm. and
Or then In anxious pride,
IN twenty years I'll pay IL up" said
God Be Glorifed-
The mortgage had a hungry nav that
swallowed corn and wheat:
lie toiled with patience night and day
10 let the monster eat.
lie slowly worked himself to death,
,r, and on the calm hillside
Ihey laid, beyond the monarch's reach.
good God Be Glorifod.
And the farm with its membranes OF
. mortgage, stUmps and stones.
lt tell 70 young Mefchizedek Paul Adon-
IRAN Jones.
Melchizedek was a likely youth. holy,
cody man,
And he vowed to raise that mortgage
like a noble Puritan.
And he went forth every morning to
;he rugged moun.@tn side.
And he dug. as dug before him, poor
old God Be Glorihed.
he raised pumpkins and potatoes down
the monsters throat to poura
He gulped them down and srnacked hts
jaws and calmly asked for more.
He worked untn his back was bent nm
I'll his hair was gray
On hillside Through a snowdrift they
dug his grave one day!
HIS hrstborn son, Eiiphalet had no
time to weep and brood
For the monster nv his doorstep growl-
ed perpetual for food.
He fed him on his garden truck. he
stuucd his RIBS with hay
And ne fed him eggs and butter. but
ne would not so away;
AND Ehphalet he staggered with the
burden and then died
ana slept with old Melchizedek and
God BE Glorihed.
Then the farm il fell to Thomas, ana
from Thomas fell TO John,
Ihen from John to Eleasur. but the
mortgage still lived on:
Then II fell to Ralph and Peter. ELI,
Absalom and Paul:
Down through all the generations, but
the mortgage killed them all
About a score OF years ago the farm
came down to Jim
And Jim called in the mortgages and
gave the farm to him.
There's no human heart so empty that
1t has no ray of hope,
SO Jim gave up the aged farm and
went to making soap.
He grew a fifty-millionaire, a bloated
pampered nature
lie owned ten railroads, twenty mines
and the whole state legislature.
And thousands did his gruff Commands
and lived upon his bounty;
And he came home, bought back the
farm and the entire county.
