Y PER CENT PASSED
IN SUMMER SCHOOL
Sessions Closed To-day After Six Weeks
Course of Instruction, 66 Boys
and Girls Being Advanced.

The summer continuation school which
has been conducted at the Mathewsor
building for the benefit of those pupils
who failed to make their grades, or in
other words. pass their examinations
last June for admission into the next
higher grade, closed to-day when certi-
ficates OF promotion were awarded to 66
boys and girls, a percentage of Y out
of the total enrolment that remained
throughout the six weeks session. This
percentage is considered by Supt. Roscoe
to be very satisfactory and is, in fact,
much higher than he had anticipated
would be the case
Supt. Roscoe considers that the com.
paratyely slight outlay for the school
has been more than justified in view of
the fact that 66 boys and girls, who
otherwise would have been compelled to
repeat their school work for another
wear. are now enabled to enter the ad-
vanced grade with their classmates who
were successful last June. The total
outlay for the school is figured at S225.
The pupils enrolled in the school Gov
cred work between the fifth and eighth
grades, and 20 of the successful ones to-
day are to enter the high school at the
opening of the next fall term. The en-
started at l03 but for various
reasons II of the pupils dropped out at
intervals during the term, leaving 92
who stayed to the close of the school
The teachers in charge of the school
turing the six weeks were Miss Alice
Strathern, Miss Zelma Goodell and Miss
Alice Blodgett.

USED STOMACH PUMP
But There Is Doubt Whether Woman
Had Taken Poison.

Rumors of an attempted suicide on
Ellison street set some of the officials
at city hall agog last night and before
the real nature OF the case was ascer-
tanned. two physicians had used stom-
ach pump on the alleged victim of two
deadly pills. 0verseer w. f. Shepard
and Chairman John r. Cook of the al
ldermanic charity committee were the
/ first to be notified OF the affair. Some-
one called the oyerseer's office and asked
to have the city physician drive down
to Ellison street with all possible haste.
| Apparently the woman who was credit
ed with taking the pills was in a Sc
rious condition and Drs. J. w. Stewart
and John H. Woodruff, who answered
the call, were prepared for any emer-
gency.
A number Of neighbors had gathered
about the woman's bedside when the
physicians arrived and for the time
being il looked as though the patient
was unconscious The doctors used a
stomach pump effectively and managed
to revive the woman. There seems to
be a question whether she actually took
any poisonous compound and the doctors
were inclined TO ascribe her condition to
another cause.
According to the authorities at city
hall there was some delay in getting aid
to the woman, as il was claimed that
she was already under a physicians care
when the call came for other doctors.
Matters of professional ethics, however,
il Is said. were relegated TO a second
position when the supposed gravity of
the situation was known.

Arthur Corati Leaves Barre Tonight for
His Home Country.

On the eve OF his departure for Italy,
where he has been hastily summoned by
the gravity of affairs ON the continent,
Arthur Corati, member of the Italian
Parliament from the first district Of

Socialist auditorium this evening. Mr..
Corati came TO Barre this morning front
Northfeld, where he spoke at a large

crisis began to loom large on the hori-
zon, Mr.. Corati had planned to complete
an extended speaking tour through the

war seems imminent, he has cancelled

he passed through Barre and conferred
with local leaders. Last year he was
elected to the Italian Parliament and at
present he is one Of so Socialists in
body of sos members, 50 of whom are

national Socialist party. When asked
to- day il he thought that ltaly's hand
would be forced in the impending war,

gave non-committal answer. He is Of

handles properly the means at hand can
bring stop to warlike measures in
the countries of Europe, Solidarity, he |
predicts, will mark the attitude of the |
against war in the present |
