StratfOrd CENTRE SCHOOL ROOMS
 INSPECTED YESTERDAY
Fire Marshal and State Policeman Make Thorough Examination of Building and Reserve
 Decision.
Especial to The Farlner.)

stratford. Jan. g - Fire Marshal Alan Judson and State Pc iceman Rowe Wheeler made a thorough in spection of the Center school, yester- day. They found the conditions there just as they have been reported in present at the inspection and the de- ciSion of the officials will not be made public until he has been notified. It Is assured, however, that the mum Der of persons who will be allowed to wit ness performances in the assembly any violations of the established rule will be dealt with by the State DO ice which effectually removes the matter from home influence which would be likely to minimize the importance of the case. It is hardly probable that either the fire marshal or the State policeman will impose any reguIa ions for the government of the attendance at the school hall which are not de- manded for the safety of those who attend.
 Both are citizens of the town and interested in its welfare, and can have no desire to hamper the school author ities in ay reasonable effort to interest the community in the schools. On the other hand, 1t is hard to believe that the superintendent of schools or the school board would endanger lives of pupil or adults for the sake of main taining a posi- ion of independence. If reports are true the building needs an other fire escape and the one now in existence needs some repairs. To err on the safe side is more commendabIe than to take the slightest chance are concerned. If the building is a fire trap it should be remedied imme- diately. Electric lights should be in stalled all over the building.

CHARITY SOCIETY WILL
 WEED OUT THE FkKIRS
Demands For Assistance Will Be In- vestigated Before Aid is

The meeting of the Stratford Char 1ty Society yesterday afternoon saw the largest attendance of any meet ing since the society was organized. Every lady who came brought a big
 bundle of clothing and the work of the afternoon resulted in large amount
 or clothing put into condition for dis tributfon. The larger part of those present have not attended the last few meetings which shows that there are enough members in reserve to keep the society in operation even if a large
 part are unable to be present. The
 working in re avs will make it much easier for all the members. The de-
 nandS on the society have all been met so far and many homes have been gladdened by the visitations of the members of the society. The mem bers have received reports that some who have been habitual beneficiaries of charity in the town are arIant fakirs and it is proposed to investigate ali applications in the future. It has been discovered that the most deserV- Ing and urHent cases are not reported by the sufferers themselves but Ey some outsiders who discover the des- perate conditions by accident There are many deserving poor in the to AT who are too proud to make appnca- tion for relief, but would accept it if some one else wou d report it. It is these cases which the society hopes to reach There are others who feel that they are entitled to assistance and are very particular as to the quaI- ity and quantity of the donations they receive Their demands are sonnet ines so fmpertinent that it is difficult to treat them with considera tion. ChfI- dren in such families would suffer if they were not aided. They suffer for the sins of the'r parents. The so- ciety cannot aid them without also helping the undeserving parents who aim to live by charity without making an effort to earn a living themselves There are peop'e in the town whose parents and grandparents have been town charges. The society proposes to relieve every deserving case which comes to it's notice, and it proposes to cut out the undeserving fakirs w:.o absorb what should go to the oth- CTS.
