Hiberniarts Want Optional Course Put
 in High School

New Haven, Aug. 2O.-An attempt is being made, by the United Irish eocie- ties of this city to persuade the board of education to place Irish history among the. elective studies at the local high school. To this end a committee, consisting of J. Edmund Miller, chair man, Mrs. J. J. Carroll, Miss Ellen ". ,Molloy, Joseph H. Mulvey and Michael McGrai1, of the Ancient Order of Ht- bernfans will wait upon the board of education at their next meeting to urge the adoption Of such a course.
 The same committee will approach the pastors of the Roman Catholic churches of the city which maintain parochiaI schools to secure their con- sent to teach Irish history in these schools. The Hfbernians have been in- strumentaI in placing copies of stand ard Irish histories in all these schools. and now desire that a course in the study be pursued.
 The decision of the board to make Italian optional with high school stu ties members to ask for an equal con- cession to descendants of the Irish race, only they do not request that Gaelic, the language Of ancient Ire land, be taught, but that pupils of Irish percentage and traditions be giv- en an opportunity to receive instruc- tion, if they desire, in the history of their forefathers They claim it will entail no extra expense upon the board, other than a few. books

Certainly They Will Issue ALL The Serial Nules; The Double Machine
 Needs The Money To Spend

Those who surprised because the entire of serial notes is to be used have not thoroughly mastered the double machine policy, which has been from the be- ginning to increase the indebtedness of the city This would accomplish results A large debt would delay the municipal ownership of public utilities The expen- dture of large of money would place in the hands of the double machine politicians the power to employ persons whose services the forthcoming prmar ies would be- utJized HaA W 4aak $

 The General Assembly refused to authorize the of something more than 100000 without referendum to the people, and this despite the peadings of double machine lobby and leadership.
 Bridgeport would be in pretty pickle had the double machine plans been completely realized
 With millions to spend the political cor1norants ans, their special privilege packers would feel invncble The talk of swelling the police force with yet men, which they not attempt under existing circumstances would be turned brazeny into action and the combined power public services, double machine politicians, and millions process of being spent would lead the taxpayers " dance and burden the homes of Bridgeport nightly

PROCRESSIVES
 TO USE MOVIES
Plan to Put Them in Towns Throughout State In
 Their Campaign

The progressivet5 of the state expect to make, in the next state campaign, very general use of moving pictures, according to the Hartford Times, which says that the progressive state leaders are going to resort to the moving pie lures to aid in showing up what they claim is wrong in the methods and arrangements of the two old parties, particularly the Republican end of the political game in this state Accord ing to the Times informant it will not be long before the picture moving ma chinery will be started in every big and little town in Connecticut and the voters will have chance to see what the progressives think about the acts, the laws and the plans of the Repub- ncans of Connecticut, for the drive will be made especially at the G. O. P. It vii be called the progressive ser vice campaign or something like that. One of the things that will be shown up in this state is the operation of the child labor law in the factories of the state or wherever else child labor hap pens to be employed unjustly or not in accordance with the ideas and prin- cipIes for which the progressive party will stand.
 Many pictures will also be used and is seen in reveaing the manner in which the state of Connecticut deals with prison labor and the progressive moving pictures will tackle for a se- ries of views what Is being done in the eight county jails of the state and will SOW up just how the labor is per formed in these jails, how the prison CTS do their work, what the machines look like on which they have to work, and so on. The interior of the jail shop will be made plain in the pie lures, so it is said. Accompanying the production of these views will be ad- dresses to demonstrate how the labor that is done in the county Jails is in antagonism to the labor market of the world and what an injury it is to hon est labor outside the jails.
 It is also planned to have something to say about the recent Connecticut general assembly in this moving pie ture performance that will be put on in the various towns. There were some things done in the last session that the progressives did not like, and there are some things which the progress sivesi would like to have done at the same session, which were not done. These are to see the light of day in the progressive moving pictures This part of the picture program has not been fully determined upon in detail.

TWO WAYS OF RAISING FRUIT.

with you from the world; here there is room only for your soul"
 Practically all of the Cistercians are engaged in agriculture, and their farm ing activities are carried on in the most progressive and scientific man ner, and with the most modern inpIe- mepts. Throughout the long sum mer days they toll in the fields and gardens, speaking never a word to each other, their superiors directing their 1abors by, means of sign lan- guage
 On summer working days the monks rise at o'clock in the morning. After several hours spent in devotions they are served a light breakfast. consist ing of an apple or other fruit, two ounces of bread and a cup of tea At 6 o'clock they begin the days work. In midday they have an hour for rest and for partaking of a meal consisting of bread and milk, fruit, vegetables and olive oil. A similar repast con cludes the days toll No meat is served except to those who are very i'll, and whose condition seems to de- mand 1t. At 8. o'clock all of the monks retire to their sleeping cells, which contain no furnishings except a mat tress and pillow, both of f1straw. Their costume, a robe of coarse wool, is worn day and night. During the win- ter months the regime followed is even more Severe than in the summer. as breakfast is dispensed with. and the evening meal is very light.
 All of the nonasteries maintain a hosteIry, separated from the other buildings, where male guests are well comed. Women are not permitted to enter this office, and a. sign at the en- trance of all these hostels warns the fair sex to keep away. az
 The monastery at Oka. Quebec, Is a shining example of what may be ac- complished by hard work and scien- tific methods in the agricultural de- velopment of the most unpromising soil. The thousand acres of once rocky and almost worthless land has been made to blossom as the rose and all of this has been accomplished within the space of thirty years The first of the O41a monks landed in Cam ada in 1881, having been expelled by the French government from their monastery in La Vendee, France. The first Trappists to come to America ar rived at Baltimore in 1903, and others came later, but in 1915 all returned to France, except Father Vincent de Paul who established monastery in Nova Scotia. This community was remov- ed to Rhode Island dozen years ago.

brance OF the heroic struggles OF the

able requisite to q proper appreciation
of the heritage they wop for US. In
grateful memory these heroes pass.
before us today, like a long process
sion coming from their camping

fields OF the southland. They are no

diction: those who bade farewell TO

while the very stars Of God seemed to
look in pity upon them:
Well may the christian patriot OF
this hour exclaim: II | forget thee,
oh, my coun,ry's defenders, let my
right hand forget her cunning and let
my tongue cleave to the root OF my
mouth.
But there is another monument

The found alton stone Of this greatest

to this glorious motto. The courage
and patriotism OF the union soldier
enabled our country to realize the
union of which, the fathers had only
dreamed. The best way to honor
our patriotic dead. is to face and con-
quer the difficulties of the present as
they fought and won the battles Of the
past. The best and most appropriate
flower to put upon the patriots grave
is the flower OF a life made beautiful
