We rejoice with you, Miss Gfiggs, on your getting first place in percent of attendance. Perseverance brings success. I congratulate you and your school. How do you do it, Miss Cur tis? For the fifth time your school leads in percent of perfect attendance. Such success is in itself eongratula- tions enough.
 Comparison of My Three Towns. Town Percent att. Town Percent per. Woodstock 92.46 Woodstock 43H Eastford 90.s7 Ashford 36s2 Ashford s5.7S Eastford 26.01
 Again Woodstock leads in both columns. If Districts ?, 9, II, and l2 will only help you out little more you can do it a third time. Look in the report next month and see if they have helped you.
 Ashford may be behind the Eastford and Woodstock pupils Tn attendance bat some pupils in Ashford attend reg ularly and have beaten in giving the answers to the addition combinations on the chart. Miss Vera Bennett can give the sixty-four answers in fourteen seconds, Edwin knowlton in twenty and one. half seconds, and Mike Rug lovski and Alice Burrill in nineteen seconds. We are to see which school can get the highest average for the entire school above the first grade.
 Something to Think About,
 Every day a pupil stays out of school for any cause, he prevents his town from getting thirteen and eight ninths cents As there were 147.5 days lost in Eastford last month on ac- count of absence, Eastford has lost S20.4S for that month. Ashford has lost S47 DO and Woodstock has lost S50 .69 just on account of the absences of February. Does this not help you to understand that by attending school your pupils are really making money for your town? This money is the average attendance money from the state.

 Several of our hunters attended the hearing on trapping foxes held in Hartford this week.
 It was interesting as well as anus ing to read the article on schools in your issue of the 3rd, written by the West Woodstock correspondent. Xvi dently the writer knew nothing of what transpired at the hearing except what they gleaned from the news papers. One paper claimed it was only local affair. When one speak CT represented every town but one in the state, one Windham county, one New Haven, one Holland, and one Middlesex counties, besides having pe- titions with signatures attached of hundreds of the best men and women in the state asking for change in our school management. The paper from which your correspondent evidently got her information said the hearing "fell fiat' when the truth was the Sec retary of the Board of Education had only his paid lieutenants with the ex- ception of one ignoramus who spoke of the Secretary sending teachers to his town who were able to teach their boys and girls something. Regarding the expense of Woodstock schools, nothing was said against our teachers getting more pay but il was said the state was paying Sl 800 year and expenses for one experienced Supervisor when our teachers, many of whom have taught from ten to fifteen years, were receiving less than S400 year. That it was not considered a good business principle to allow the Supervisor to live in Putnam, from four to thirty two miles to his schools, instead of liV- ing in the center of his districts. That any business man conducting his af- faifs in that way would become a bankrupt in less than ten years.

we'll known in South Africa as in the
United States.
The tin can has conquered the sea-
sons. In winter one may eat fruits
and vegetables practically as tasty as
though they were just plucked. In
deed. with canned fruits one may
make pies that rival those that moth
er used to make.
The making of the tin cans Is, nat
urally, a huge industry in itself, en-
ploying hundreds Of thousands Of
men, women and boys and represent
ing an investment of many millions
of dollars. 1t has led to the devel-
opment of tin ore mining upon a
gigantic scale, a thing that only
comparatively few years ago was not
thought possible. Uutl the mining of
ore in this country was developed
practically all of the tin was import
ed. Today but little tin is imported.
Machinery plays a most. important
part in the making of the tin can,
not only in the fashioning OF the
plates. but giant machines, intricate
of mechanism. take those plates, cut,
shape, crimp and solder them so fast
that one can scarcely count them as
they roll out, complete and ready for
the packer.
Scores Of inventions for the i'm

were great areas of land that could
not be cultivated owing to the dis
tance the products had to be hauled
to the nearest source of consumption.
This was especially true of fruits and
vegetables that could not be plucked
green and permitted to ripen in tran
sit.
The industrious packers have now
changed all that. When they found
that there were districts that were
fertile they established canneries
there and entered into contracts with
neighboring farmers to grow things
for them. Thus in many sections of
the country today fruits and vege-
tables are sold to the packers before
they are picked.
The packing of fish g one of the
great industries not only on the At
lantic but on the Pacific coast. In
the cod and salmon fisheries several
thousand vessels and about 100, 900
men find steady employment. The
oyster. clam and scallop industry en-
plOys nearly as many. Even crab
meat for years regarded as impos-
sible to can, finds its way into the
timed box.
In the meat industry the annual
canned output runs into enormous fig
ures. Beef. ham and chicken are as
