MoNTvILLE SCHOOLS.
Desire That Schools Be Centralized
 and Action May Be Taken.

At meeting of the school commit tee of the town of Montville held on Tuesday night at the home of Chair man Charles w. Comstock, it was decided that action should be taken toward consolidation ct several of the outlying districts. No final action was taken, the board adjourplng it's meet ing for one week. There is, as stated by one member of the board, a desire that the schools should be centralized as much as possible in order that the greatest benefit might be obtained by the pupils.
 The Collins district school may be abandoned and the pupils attending that school transferred to Palmer Memorial school and the children who have been attending the school in Mohegan will probably have to be transported to the school in Uncas- vile. The Uncasville school will prob ably have to be enlarged to meet the requirements of the change.
 The board also talked over the necessity of more perfect grading Of pupils and also discussed the matter of application of state money toward the payment of high school tuition, which at present the town does not contribute to, except in the matter of transportation, which parents and guardians must furnish first and keep up for year and over before returns are received from town or state.

SCARLET FEVER CASE
 ON WEST SIDE
As Precaution Against Spread, Mt. Pleasant Street School Is Closed for Ten Days.

Having read of the scarlet fever eases in the Gorton family which were thoughC to be Dutch measles, Mrs. Irv- ing H. Benjamin of Avery street un Wednesday called in a doctor be- cause of the sickness of her son. Fair Benjamin. who attended the Mt. Pleas ant street school in the second grade. The doctor found that the child had had scarlet fever and was in the peel ing stage. He notified Health Officer Dr. N. E. Lewis, who after inVestigat- ing the case and learning that the child attended school, decided to close the school for the remainder of this week and all of next week. This is, of course, a precautionary measure t1 prevent the spread of the disease, and it behooves the parents to be careful of their children during the next ten days to see that no more cases de- velop. The school will be fumigated.
 In the Central district, the son of Charles Ring of Broad street has been taken sick and there is a case in family in the Washington block in Washington square.

Following out the arrangeme expressed in the letter, Miss Rachelson received the young man from Colchester, who brought the introduction with him, and they became fast friends. The father of the defendant had a summer board ing house at Colchester and so happy did their meeting prove that she was easily induced to go to Colchester for the remainder of her vacation.
