Ideal School Described.


NJ. Augustin Rey, Partisan archt

q recent paper. He said that the bene
fetal effects Of the violet rays were
30 well known that It was criminal to
build tn such way that they could
not penetrate to every part Of room:
It was doubly important that this
should be possible In schoolrooms. II
there was a choice between heat, ven
tilation, and sunshine we should see
that we had the sunshine first His
building was 30 arranged that the
classes should meet IN the east rooms
IN the afternoon after the morning
sun had thoroughly disinfected them
and in the west in the morning. since
the afternoon sun would have disin-
fected the western rooms on the previ-
GUS day. There should be plenty Of
ground and plenty Of sand about
school houses 1t is better to econo-
mize in decorations than in sunlight
and ventilation. He said that while
this was his ideal school, he pre-
ferred the open air school.

by MIR. L. A. Kerr three sweet pota-
toes of the Nancy Hall variety that
were sure some potatoes. These po-
tatoes were raised on some of the So
called poor sand hill land few miles
above McBee. One of the potatoes
was a long horn shaped one and
measured % inches in length. The
other two were IL inches long and
weighed pounds each. Eight OF
these potatoes weighed 20 pounds, six
II pounds, eight others 9 1-2 pounds,
a total of 40 1-2 pounds. Mr. Kerr
says it required very little cultivation
to raise these potatoes and indicates
the fact that the lands in this sec

some of his potatoes on exhibition at

BLOOMFIELD
WOOdnman Attempts to Crawl
Under Moving Train

Blough Picard, a woodsman in the
employ of the Connecticut Valley
Lumber Co., was so badly injured by
being run over by freight train at
Bloomfield Wednesday that he died
within an hour after the accident.
AS no one witnessed the accident,
it is thought that he tried to crawl
in under the train while it was NOV
ing slowly. Conductor A. II. Went
worth, who was in charge of the
train, discovered the body, badly
mangled. He was taken to a North
Stratford undertaking establish
ment and a physician called but he
was beyond human aid. His remains

STUDIO RECITAL
BY MISS GiBOIN
Former Resident Receives Much
Praise from Audience.

The following item is taken from
the Portland Argus of a recent date
and will be of interest to local people
as Miss GiBoin, STEADY was a
former resident of this town. She
is the daughter of Henry Steady,
the well-known engineer, who runs
N trains 5 and 6.
# Brinkler has every reason to
ba oud of bis pupil, Miss Evangel-
IiBoin, whom he chose as the
,sisting artist of his first studio
recital for the season Of 1914.
The program was made up of
organ and piano duets and the recital
was listened to by good sized AMI
aDpreciative audience.
Miss GiBoin has grown from a
young girl student to a brilliant and
finished young artist and her work
last evening shows the results of in
telligent and earnest study under
the efficient guidance of her
instructor. Patrons of the Brinkler
recitals have watched the progress
Of the young student-pianist from
season to season but even these in
terested listeners were somewhat
surprised at the remarkable tech
nique and brilliancy displayed last
evening. Miss GiBoin also has 6
pleasing personality and is an easy
and graceful player.
The program numbers were ar.
ranged in four groups, the first being
made up of duets for organ and
piano, and Mr.. Brinkler and Miss
GiBoin were heard to advantage in
selections by Schubert and Gade.
Miss. .GiBoin then played alone and
three numbers by Chopin, Sibelius
and Sinding, displayed her polish of
phrasing and her. remarkable bril-
lance Of style.
The organist then returned to
render Yon's Christmas in Sicily, a
tuneful work suggesting the spirit
Of the season, and .Faulkes' brilliant
and pleasing concert overture. Both
of these numbers have been heard at
City Hall and are very desirable sell
ections for the organ repertoire.
In the final group,the selection of
piano and organ duets swas delight
full and the audience %-applauded the
efforts of the two performers
warmly. Ritter's Morganlied was
charming;the humoresque by Widor,
a popular and taking number, while
the Swan, by Fan Fan, was given a
really ideal Interpretation.
The program ended with Gull
mant's March, Opus SO, which called
for musicianly skill on the part of
bothIperformers, and was brilliant
ending for a most enjoyable music a
event.
The second recital in the Brinkler
series will be given Wednesday even
ing, January IL.

RELIC OF "BRIG OF GLASGOW"
Bridge That Was Built
About 1345.

The other day there turned up in
"A London cold clo' establishment a
wooden snufbox with an inscription
on the lid which awakened curios-
ity, and led to its transfer to a col
lector for a few shillings. The in
scription ran thus: "This box is
made of oak which formed part Of
the original foundations of Old
StOckwell bridge, Glasgow, a slruc-
ture built by Bishop Rae about the
year 1915, in the reign of King Da-
vid, son of Robert the Bruce"
This bridge, known as the "Great
Brig of Glasgow or the Bishops
bridge" was for 400 years the sole
means of communication between
the banks of the Clyde. Across it
passed the Regent Murray with his
Glasgow Burgher Auxiliaries on his
way to Langside, Archbishop Beaten
in his flight to France with the city
records and the cathedral Jewels, and
Prince Charlie in his ten days So
iourn.
Its welye-foot-wide passage was
such that two w~heelbarrows trembled
