Charged with breaking and entering the house of Theodore D. Pond in Brooklyn and setting it afire early Tuesday morning, Herbert Baker. X. Of Ponfret LaBning. is a prisoner in Brooklyn jail in default of the bond Of sl ,iSn which Justice William R. Thur Der fixed as the price Of his freedom. after a hearing al Brooklyn Tuesday afternoon.
 Baker pleaded not guilty 10 the charges, but probable cause MRS found for holding him. His arrest resulted from some good detective work on the part of Jailer Albert <. Fields, Dewitt Park and James Moran oI the Jail force, Constable Edwin Bennett and State Policeman Robert Hurley of Hartford, who was called into the case.
 Tracks in plowed ground in the rear of the Pond house were followed and lost, and picked up again and again for several miles until they finally led 10 the Baker home in Pomfrei. X search of the house brought 10 light a coat saturated with kerosene and on the strength of this Baker WAS later ar rested on one of Fayette Wright's s farms in Pomfret, where he had been working. The shoes that he had on fitted exactly into the tracks about the Pond house, these being so clear as to leave the imprints of the heelplates on Bakers shoes as additional evidence against him.
 The accepted motive for the charges alleged against the prisoner is his de- sire 10 destroy the will of his father, Solomon Baker, who died in Brooklyn about three weeks ago, leaving little place valued at about $500 and about s500 in money. MT. Pond drew the will and il is believed that Baker was convinced that it was i'll the house.

The Axe Factory district of Eastford, taught by Miss Phia Curtis, had the highest percent of attendance of the Eastford schools and took third place with reference to all of my schools. Besides this, this little school of seven paplls has had the highest percent of attendance in the Esstford schools for four different times this year.
 During the past month l collected samples of writing from every pupil in the schools of Woodstock and East ford l shall preserve these samples so that one year from now we may see if the writing has improved. This will give us one definite measure of teachers efficiency and may encourage the teachers and the pupils to make greater effort to improve the writing. have, taken time to look the Eastford samples over. I find Eleanor Keith is the best writer in the Eastford schools. l shall try to look over the Woodstock papers and report the best writers in different grades.
 U.,o.oa& tha x.,Jl1 Aonyor- ;r nj fest in nearly every school but the de vices used in Districts 1 and 3 of Woodstock and in of Eastford were of special interest to me. In the two Woodstock schools the flowers are col lected by various pupils, are pressed and then fastened by glue and narrow sttips of paper to strip of green cart ridge paper which has been neatly ar- ranged on a wall of the schoolroom. The name of each flower is written on a white label which is pasted on the chart and beneath the flower.
 In the little Axe Factory school, which rests right in the heart of every thing that is beautiful in Nature, each pupil has a common five-cent note book in which he fastens his flowers after he has Psessed them. Under meath the flower. he writes it's name. sammy Gurus has seventy-six differ ent varieties, Myrtle Curtis and Mona Converse each had forty-two varieties, John Curtis had farty varieties, and Willis Curtis and Fisyd Scarborough each had about sixtAan different kinds Of hoxers.
 am very much pleased to find the children getting acquainted with the common flowers. One who does not know them loses much every day, es- Peeially in the country
 Nearly every teacher hes made great improvements in the kind of papers her pupils make and hand in. They notice the papers now and do not ac- eept careless work. This certainly will result in progress. All realize that the kind of papers they make indicates in at least one important way, the kind of work they are doing
 Our schools should close June IT. Probably our Closing Day Exercises this year will be held at Roseland Park as they were last year. If they are held there, 1 sincerely hope we may be able to have some music for the children to follow when marching.
 Very truly yours,
