schooIroom TemperatuRes

" During the extreme cold, thermometer in many of the schoolrooms registered around fifty degrees. This was especially true of cold Monday morning. the jani- tors not getting the fires built early enough Monday morning or on Sunday afternoon or evening. Many of the ht- tie children of the poor were sent to school to be kept warm and this account ed for the full attendance. As long as children are at play CT in exercise, cold schoolrooms may do them little or no harm, but once they take their seats to sit and study and keep quiet, deadly dangers may get in their work on the children.
 Such conditions exist where janitors are neglectful so Canaan people are to be congratulated, for they have a janitor who has the interest of the children under his care at heart: one who keeps the school building clean, sweet and warm. P. .aises be to Janitor Kemp.
 Principal Eldridge of the Canaan High school says /; have known Mr, s. A. Kemp for nearly year and half, dur ing which time he has been employed as jlnitor of School No. 3. Besides doing thoroughly and we'll his work in keeping our building warm and clean. MT. Kemp takes an unusual interest in all that pertains to the school. He is courte- ous and obliging, he has the confidence of teachers, he wins the respect of par ents.
 I should be glad to answer in a per sonal letter any inquiries concerning him.

 Dear Pop and Sister:-I wrote you last Saturday but dated the letter on Sunday, so will now try and tell what has happened since the 18th of Novem- Der each day. Sunday 19-Fireing was going on nearly all morning down the river. It looked as though one of the Ohlsese ships was trying to come up the river, but could not. 1 went on liberty at p. m. and walked down towards the station to see the Imperials camp. All of the streets near there have baricades across them. l tried to go through one of them so as to get some pictures, but was halted by them and had to turn back. I then walked down through the Concessions to Sin Seng Road, which is where the Chinese City begins. Going down noticed that several of the build ings in the English Concessions had been struck by rifle bullets, but I was k-I- A there were two English Blue Jackets on guard, so of course we could go no farther. All of the Chinese City as far as we could see had been burned. It was against the captains orders to go into the English Concessions, but unless you take the chances you never get along very well, at least that is the way i'll the navy. Just as we got back to the ship at 4:30 one of the rebel ships was coming up the river. It was the one which Admiral Sah had for his flag ship and it seemed strange that she was not fired at as she came up, she came very close to the shore all the way. She went up above Wuchang where she stayed for awhile. At 5 o'clock firing began again down the river, as one of the Tor. pedo boats was coming up, and the Inn perialists were firing at her. She kept as close to the opposite shore as she could all the way. The Rebel batteries which are at Yanglo, on the other side of the river opened fire at the Imperia- lists. and this they kept up for about half an hour.
 All the time the Imperialists were firing at them, also at the Torpedo boat. Most of the shells meant for the Torpedo boat went wild, and the little boat had run the gauntlet, and came out with hardly a scratch. A few minutes after she passed us, the big ship started down stream, and when she got just below us, she opened up her broad sides at the I'm perialists, who in few minutes answer

sT0RRs' SCHOOL COURSES

Educ ational Work for Non-reident >ta Students. - One of the phases Of the activities of the Connecticut Agricultural College is what is termed it's extension work. namely, the instruction given to those who cannot afford to be resident students at the college. An appropria- tion by the Legislature has made it possible for the trustees of the agricul- tural college, to conduct limited num- Der of extension schools and with this in view the college faculty has caused to be published a bulletin to give infor nation concerning the different forms of extension work conducted by the college. This extension work is an effort to extend the advantage of clllege in struction to those who cannot reside at the institution.
 The bulletin outlines three courses : First-Soils, farm crops and dairying i; second-fruit growing and poultry husbandry ;; third-home economies There are number of rules i'll the bulletin that must govern the conduct of these extension schools The schools will be held at points designated by the board of trustees of the college on the recommendation of the faculty, and satisfactory rooms for instruction and demonstration must be provided and properly cared for and the ex- pense for rent, light, heat and janitor serYlce for these, and all other local expenses, including the lodging and A boarding of all instructors, must be borne by the community bl which the school is held. The college will pay the railroad fare and salary of all instruct. ors and lecturers. Applications for schools should be made on blank forms furnished by the college and re- -quire the signatures of no less than twenty-five persons. One or more eve ming lectures will be given in connection with each school. The bulletin also contains outlined courses and hours of recitations in all three lines, which may be secured by application to the Con- necticut Agricultural College, Extension Department, Storrs, Conn.
 The college also has other lines of extension work on smaller scale. It will gladly aid individual farmers, Ill so far as this can be done by cores pondence. Further, the college Ill CO., operation with the Connecticut Pomo- logical Society has undertaken to carry on demonstration work in pruning, spraying and renovation of orchards and these one day meetings are held in the orchards of farmers in various parts of the state, wherever suitable arrange ments can be made. Finally, members of the college faculty and station staff are available for institute work or for occasional lectures.

SOUTH CANAAN CHURCH
Historic Ediflce Re-opened last Sun day-Has Been Closed for Repairs

Historic Edifice Re-opened last Sun
 day-Has Been Closed for Repairs
 An event of great interest to the town was the re-opening of the South Canaan Congreg gational Church, closed since last August for repairs, This church, as the pastor said, is the oldest i'll the vicinity-mother of Norfolk, East Ga naan aud Falls Village, with one grands child, the Pilgrim Church of Canaan.
 Built under the Monarchy, i'll the early days of the Colony, surviving the Revolution it has fourished under the government, "of the people, by the people,"
 The architecture of the church, especially of the inside is particularly fine, wonderful work those old time men did, not to be surpassed or even equaled by the present day workers.
 After painters and decorators had done their work, and done it well. under the supervision of F. Egleston, the ladies of the parish took the matter in hand and worked with 8 will. New carpets, cushions, stoves etc., were ad- ded and best of all, as the Rev. MT. Hazeltine said, mot one cent of in debtedness." The Rev. MT. Hazeltine gave an appropriate sermon from the text, "Oh Lord, beseech Thee, send now prosperity, ,"-PSalm l18: xxv.
 The Rev. O. W. Hanna, a former pas tor was present and offered prayer.
 Miss Lily Davies sang solo, "Oh. day of rest and gladness." the congregational singing was good, and Misses Lily and Jessie Davies sang the closing hymn, Jesus lover of my soul"
 Great credit is due the ladies of the church for their untiring zeal and ao- tivity, and to the men for their gen. erosity, contributing of both time and money.

Novel and Interesting Attract ons Plan
 ned at the Big Garden.
 The second annual indoor Information. al Trap Shooting Tournament and New York's eighteenth annual Sportsmen's Show will open Friday evening, March 1st, and close at midnight, Saturday, March 9th, at Madison Square Garden.
 Americas champion trap shooters, hunters of large and small game, anglers, Boy Scouts and boy campers will be the stars in action in an endless drama on the mammoth stage of New York's an- nual Sportsmen's Show of 1919.
 The hunters, anglers. scouts and camp. CTS will be very much alive and will act their parts in a realistic scenic stage setting of painted canvas and forest trees that will surpass in limits and concep- tion the great stages of the Metropolitan Opera House and the New York Hippo drome. com bined. In lieu of live birds on the wing and leaping game fishes the knights of the shotgun will aim at swift ly hurtling clay pigeons, and the anglers will i'll competition cast fly and bait hooks and weights at floating targets. Champion rife shots and public school boys will shoot matches for valuable trophies over the best and longest indoor rifle ranges in America. With the plans that are already perfected and that will be successfully carried to a climax in their every detail-irrespective of novel ideas continually cropping out, it is ab- solutely assured that the approaching Congress of American Sportsmen, rep resenting all North America, which will assemble next March in the metropolis, will see and participate in the greatest Sportsmen's Show the world has ever seen, and only the future contains the answer to the query of whether or not it will be possible to surpass it.
