WASTE PAPER LITTER.
So Prevalent and So Obnoxious the Matter lst Be Brought Before the Business Mems Organizations.

Once more, and for the 'steenth time, comes an appeal for more publicity against the slovenly practice of litter ing Danielson's business section with paper. Everyb body isn't doin' it. but one might be led to think so after viewing the streets some mornings Cutters, sidewalks (before they are swept, crosswalks and street Surfs ces all strewn with. heFa1ds torn newspa- pers and the general n1uss and clut- ter of innumerable varieties of, dis carded paper.
 Appeal after appeal has been made to secure action to abate the nuisance, which is a blotch on the otherwise spick and span appearance Of one of the most naturally beautiful towns in Connecticut, but without success. A prominent citizen says that he intends to place the matter of finding some means. of overcoming the very bad practice before the Business Mems as sociation and the Board of Trade and further states that in his opinion. the organization that finds the means of stamping out the paper throwing hab- | it. will hear the advocates of munici- pal tidiness singing it's praises and almost calling it blessed.

NIGHT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
Drops Of Little, Because Families
 Leave Town.

Attendance at the night school, which has been averaging over 50 nightly since the first session Of the season, was held in October, has drop ped down to under forty this week on account of the going away from Dan ielson of a number of Polish mill work CTS. The decrease in attendance, which at times has been in excess of 60, is probably only temporary, however. The belleopticon machine that has been ordered for.use in the day schools is expected to arrive here within q few days. Six hundred sets Of slides are coming with the machine. bought with money from the Evans fund and state library grant, and these can be
 nsed to advantage in the night school and 1n such an attractive manner as to almost certainly attract q large at tendance, and hold it.
 Supervisor Albert S. Ames is now occupying the former office of the late Ior. J. B. Shannon in the Phoenix building and has fitted it for the dis play of work done by children in the schools so that visitors may inspect the papers and drawings. which are , very interesting.
