The Wheeler school and library o1 Worth Ston1ngton, located not far from the border line of Westerly, is one. ol the most liberally endowed institutions or It's high class to be located ill such a sparsely settled section. The endow-
 ment provided for in the will of Hen " Dwight Wheeler insures an income more than ample for the current ex- penses. and gives opportunity for co0rses of educational entertainments that are appreciated by the students of
 the school, the residents of the town and many from Westerly and other places. Since trolley facilities have
 been made possible by the enterpris- ing promoters of the Norwich and Westerly road, the attendance from materially increased. They are abso- lutely free to the public.
 One of the pleasing entertainments
 in the present course was the recital of The Tanning of the Shrew, by Le- land Powers Tuesday evening, and
 was in keeping with those that pre- ceded.
 This school WIS established in 1890 by Edgar Wheeler as preparatory for
 high school education. Ten years later Henry Dwight Wheeler contracted with James Gourlay of Westerly to con- struot the present handsome granite structure, and lived to see its com- pletion.
 Pupils are admitted to the prepara- tory class after seven years in 8 grad ed school, and are required to pass specified examinations in English grammar, spelling, history, arithmetic and geography. While the school is prepared to fit boys and girls for any college, it's courses are also arranged to meet the needs of that larger num- Der whose schooling will cease al graduation or before. No tuition is charged pupils resident in North Ston- lngton, and outside pupils arc at pres- ent admitted the same as residents of the town, provided they. make North Stonington their temporary residence.
