 Few Beetles and Moshs
 The spraying and careful winter in spections during the past two years seem to have been effective in offset ting the ravages of the elm beetle and broWntail moths in Putnam and sur rounding towns. The elm trees and other varieties that have been attack ed by the pests are in better condition this year than has been the case for several years. Donald J. Caffery of the state bureau of entomology spent many weeks in Putnam, Woodstock, Thompson, Pomfret and Killingly last winter collecting and cutting away all the nests that could be found. That the work of MT. Caffery and his as sistants was effective is indicated by the small amount of damage being done by the insects this summer.

from normal schools. This spring the different normal schools of the state graduated about 50 students but most of these graduates will teach in large towns, and few will find their way to the rural schools.
 In securing teachers, therefore, the supervisor of rural schools in Con- necticut cannot hope to get good nor nal graduates to teach for him unless they happen to live in his towns and wish to teach near home. The super visors must accept untrained and, in many cases, inexperienced teachers for their schools. and must train these teachers themselves. This is the sit uation at present.
 The supervisors are trying tG nave the teachers become better trained be- fore they begin and are trying to train them after they begin to teach.
 First-Eyery supervisor endeavors to lead all of his teachers to realize how helpful attendance at the Danbury summer normal school would be to any teacher, but he strongly Urges-some- times requires-and encourages financially-every untrained and mex perienced candidate to attend summer normal school for four weeks before she begins to teach for him. Second-During the school year each supervisor conducts teachers meetings enough in his towns to make it possi- ble for each of his teachers to receive | every month two hours of instruction | in methods of teaching, in manage ments and in schoolroom housekeep- l ing
 | Third-Once every ten school days ! the supervisor visits each teacher. He | observes her work to see if she under 1 stands and is successfully using the principles discussed in the teachers meetings. He helps her to become l stronger where she is weak and often l teaches her class for her, if she is in- l experienced or untrained. to aid her in grasping the method and spirit of | presen ntation.
 Fourth-Teachers' institutes have been conducted in many parts of the | state both in the fall and the spring These have given the teachers a free opportunity to improve their methods of teaching and to receive fresh stim-
 ulus to greater efforts.
 i Fifth-During the year each teacher may have at least two visiting days and receive pay for these days if shC visits the school and subjects approved by her supervisor. The value of these visiting days depends almost entirely upon the kind oe school the teache visits. Up to the present time thes teachers have been sent to visit tn best available schools. Tn order tha 1 these visiting days may be made nor profitable and that the progress il
 training teaching may he greatly in
 creased, each supervisor will endeavo
 to have what will be called a rura
 model school in one of his towns a least.
 Tn 75 of these S3 towns under stat
 supervision the rural model school

NEW DIAMOND PROJECTED.
Thread Comoany's Ball Players to
 Have Grounds on Horseshoe Park.

As a result of the keen interest taken in baseball by employees in different departments of the American Thread company and the lack of a suitable place to practice and play baseball games the project of laying out a fine diamond on Horseshoe park will be commenced
 The matter was put up to the local officials of the company, and they in turn presented the proposition to the New York officials with the result that orders were issued to go ahead, and a sum uf money was Voted-several hun dred dollars-it is understood on reH- able authority. to carry out the long cherished project E. C. Hathaway, purchasing agent for the company, said the entire matter had been left WiIh Capt. George K. Anderson, su- perintendent of the pulp spool shop. Captain Anderson is an enthusiastic exponent of the national game and is also at the head of a likely nine in his department.
 The field will be graded and the dia- mond properly surveyed just as quickly as a contractor can be put to work on the iob It is proposed to have a first class diamond and also fix up some other portions of the big park
 
 ters. The half-mile ring is in fair shape for all track events, and suitable runs can easily be provided for field events. such as the jumps, pole vault etc.. within tho enclosure.
 Heretofore the various hines repre- sGndng the different departments of she American Thread company-some nine in uumber-haVe been obliged to go down to South Windham Saturdays and play games there The new dia- mond will be welcomed by all the ath- leres in the city, as it is understood that other mines will be permitted to play thereon when their dates do not conflict with those of the American Thread company's nines
 It is expected that a football field will also be marked out this fall and hc used by the Windham high school. The possibilities for athletics of all branches were never brighter as d re- suit 0f the attitude the American Thread companys officials have taken iu providing SO generously for a fine field and money to put it into tip top shape
