Residents Would Rather Send Children
 to New London Schools.

The town of Groton is now without high school as the result of the ac- ton of the town meeting held in the town hall at Poquonoc Tuesday night when is was voted to abolish the Mys- tic High school The action of the meeting was in accordance with the sentiment expressed in the borough since the question was brought up, and boronghttes are not only satisfied but are rejoicing at the outcome.
 They claim thaat the Mystic High school has been of no benefit to the town and that it has not been availed of by the residents of the borough, because it was better for obvious rea- sons to send children to the New London schools. The principal reasons are that the schools in New London are up to the standard required by the state board of education, and Mys tic High school was not and besides it was considerably cheaper to go to New London.
