FAIRFIELD

There was one interesting question which came up for consideration De- fore the School Board last Monday. For some time past a girl pupil at the Plattville school has caused a gooo deal of trouble and has made little ii any progress in her studies. BeSloes being i'll natured 1t was thought she was feeble minded. Dr. Donaldson he reported that she should be taken care of by the town or sent to some asylum The board referred the mat ter to the Selectmen and they report ed that the girl and the family to which she belonged did not live in town. It was then thought she must be resident of Trumbull. and the Selectmen of that town were notified. They replied that the girl did not live in their town Finally it was dis line in Bridgeport, and Dr. Deane's attention was called to the case. In any event the girl WI not be permitted to go to the Plattsville school.
