Frederick. the rec tor, said that during the remainder of the year teachers shared with parents the care of children, but with the com ing of the vacation season much of this care ended. He cautioned parents not to relax their solicitude for their children and uttered a word of eau tion to the girls. in particular against too great confidence in the chance ac- quaintances they might make while on summer outings.
 The obligation to attend mass on Sunday, he said, was not removed with the advent of the vacation season. Those planning to go away were ad = vised to choose some location not too far from a church. For those remain ing in town and depending on Sunday outings, there is always the mass at 7.30, which is over before S30 leaving ample time for proper recreation after first paying God the worship which Is His due.

sc5, 900 TO DIVIDE FOR GILBERT co. sONDHOLDERs
Amount Left from Proceeds of Sale of
 Mystic Company's Big Fleet.


 About s25,ooo will be left for the bondholders of the Gilbert Transports tion company after Receiver Frank s. Butterworth of New Haven compre mises the present claims against the company in accordance with an order that will be issued by Judge James l.. Martin of the United States district court. There are $27o.000 of bends, but the order of the judge will be to the effect that about $17,G00 of miscella- neous claims and about $12,0o0 of special masters and attorneys fees against the company be paid out of the proceeds of foreclosure sale Of the vessels of the company, amounting to about s65,00o. When MT. Butterworth was appointed receiver in October, 1909, the inventory of the companys s assets was S1S3,000. It had buSI- ness office and shipyard at Mystic and 2s vessels, comprising schooners, barges and tugb0atS, which were en- gagged in contract and coastWise trade
 Judge Martin at the hearing before him in the federal court in Hartford Saturday morning said that no sur prise should be occasioned because the assets had not banned out any better and he said the court was the poorest place in the world to conduct any business but the law. Notice of the hearing had been sent out to over S00 persons, but the attendance was about a dozen lawyers.
 In the matter of granting the re- ceiver authority to compromise the SIT, ,00O of claims for less amounts Samuel Park it was brought out that all the claims were liens on vessels with the exception of the claim of $. R. Rosoff, which is for services and materials furnished the receiver. amounting to $1,023. The proposition -F ic n liens at 60 per cent. of the amount al- lowed by the commissioner in order to avoid litigation and there are enough assets, $55, 1000, to pay all the lienhold- CTS l.. M. Daggett of New Haven objected to some of the claims.
 The assets of the company above the mortgages have been more than used up in the receiver proceedings, and Charles w Gross of Hartford sug- gested that it be put in the order that the claims come out of the $55,000. i Speaking of stone carrying con- tract MT. Butterworth said 1t had been made through the occasion of raising about S30Q, GOO as securities. When he found it, however, some of the yes sells were loaded with stone and ready to sail. some were half loaded and some were ready to discharge at the ceiVer had to do was to pay about $3,000 in back wages. The Degian Con tracting company would not pay for ] hauling the stone and is now being sued for $9.00G. The receiver admitted that about $3o.000 was spent un the Cape Cod fleet. In the coastwise and lumber carrying trade MT. Butterworth said the receivership cleaned up a profit of about $7,000.
 Judge Martin will include in his or der an allowance of $1.o0O to MT. But terworth for the balance of his ser vices as receiver. He has already been paid $9,000 and his total bill for lsthe four years service is s10,000. Op- portunity for appeal from the orders will be given after the orders are signed by the judge at his home in Rrattleboro. Vt.

 communio number, Oh, God, Am Not Worthy by the entire chorus,
 In the announcements for the day Father Fitzmaurice took occasion to congratulate the class on what the days meaning brought home to them He urged them to continue the prac- tice of the frequent reception of the sacrament for though they were yOuno and innocent now, as they advanced in years the battle of life with it's dangers and temptations would confront them and by frequent participation of the l sacrament they would receive all the l graces necessary to cast aside those 1 difficulties and save their immorta souls. He took the opportunity to say a word to the adults, requesting them 1 to go back to the day If their first holy communion and to ask themselves il ! the pledges therein made had beer 1 kept; if they felt their accounts were \ numbered with sin and worldly affairs the sight of the innocent candidates o1 ! the day would give them confidence te renew their pledges to insure their owr spiritual welfare Following the mass Father Fitzmau- ' rice enrolled the entire class in tht 1 scapuiar of Our Lady Of Mt.

1 CANVASS FOR MONEY FOR COUNTY BUILDINGS
Weman's College to Be Made a Dis-
 tinctively State Institution.

An effort will be made to cause the Connecticut Woman's college to be as dfstinetively state institution as pos sible that Is, to deeply interest in it the people of Connecticut by endeavor- Ing to have a building erected through contributions from each county
 In furtherance of this purpose Prof Colin s. Buell. of New London was authorized by She board of trustees of the college at a recent meeting to un- derta.ke the work of enlisting sub scriptions. He will devote a period this summer usually reserved for his vacation to a canvass of the wealthy and liberal people in each county Lists of those whom he will visit are now being prepared.
 The idea seems a popular one and if the new college can have a dona- tion named after each county of the state. erected by subscriptions from the residents of those counties. it will be an entirely new, unique and dis tinctive feature for a college.
 1t will be interesting to note which county will be first to come forward with sufficient subscriptions to carry the project into effect.
