SCHOOLBOYS STUNG,
And on Very First Day of School Tern

The boy pupils of the West grammar
school had the surprise of their lives,
says the Meriden Record, when they
started to attend the opening session
of school on Tuesday morning and
many Of them are still on the road to
recovery. From the sidewalk leading
around to the side entrance are two
walks, one leading to the girls en-
trance and the other to the entrance
for boys. The path leading to the
girls. entrance is of cement which in
this instance was lucky for the girls,
while the path to the boys entrance is
a plank walk.
During the summer vacation a large
and aggressive number of yellow hor-
nets (of the active kind made their
nests under the board walk, where they
had remained unmolested until school
opened Tuesday morning.
The passage over the walk by each
little boy caused the planks to be de-
pressed. much to the disturbance of
the hornets. and the discomfort of each
boy. who entered the school room a
moment after with tears in his eyes
and a hand on the sort spot.
1t broke UP the morning session, as
far as the boys were concerned, and
they are still thinking it over, as they
dislike to be stung, while the janitor
OF the school has been building smudge
fires under the walk to drive out the
insects.
