all the public schools OF Berre were
shut down to-day because of cold wealth
er. The general mo school signal one
long blast on the fire alarm was given
early IN the morning, announcing to
some $500 young people and their anN-

cold that no att,mpt would be made
to start school for the day. The Iner-
curry did not 90 down so low this morn
ing as few weeks ago, the average
record for Barre being "a below; but the
bitter north wind drove into all the
buildings during the night, defying all
efforts to Keep the rooms warm.
After hasty consultation, therefore,
it was decided to suspend school for the
day, and the signal was given. Previous
to that time, however, school officials,
teachers and ianitors bad been besieged
with telephone calls from parents who
were anxious to know whether to send
their children out into the cold There
was general relief when the word was
given that there would be no school, as
the children, especially the younger ones,
would have been subjected to no slight
danger in going from their homes to the
school buildings TO say nothing sof pos
sible danger from low temperature in
the buildings.
