jsy Westport. June 27.-When school re- opens in September there will be sev- eral changes in the schools of the town, especially at the high school. where the commercial course will be given added impetus. That this course is a necessity is evident to the school committee who had made preparations for carrying on the work of the de- partment in a thorough manner. The commissioners realize that many of the young people of the town who had a desire for a business course did not prepare for that branch because the school did not have adequate facili- l ties. They either went to work in var ious places about town or had to go out of town to get the education which tthe town should have supplied them. It Is now almost certain that the new department will encourage many stu dents who otherwise would not con tinue their school work.
 The project for the new school does not seem to bother the school com rnissioners, at least nothing was said of the school at the meeting Tuesday evening. The board voted to petition the town at a special town meeting to be called in the near future for permission to use the town hall again next term for school room. There Is agitation going at at present at Greens Farms in regerd to the pro-
 
 school house to the Academy site. The board appointed several new teachers, Miss Katherine Dolan and Miss Der tha Hannah, both of Danbury, for the Greens Farms school, and Miss Ethel Doane of Torrington for the sixth grade at the Center school.
 The commissioners have decided that drawing should receive more attention in the local schools. Accordingly they have made arrangements for draw ing supervisor, to be appointed before the beginning of the next school term. District Deputy Grand Chancellor Nehemiah Candee of South NorWa1k will install the newly elected officers of Aspetuck lodge, R. of F., at their meeting to be held next Tuesday eve ming.
