 Orrin L. Judd, principal of local
 schools and practically his entire staff
 were invited to remain here for an-
 other year by the school board at d
 special meeting held last evening.
 The reported opposition to MT. Judd
 showed but little strength, as far as
 the school board was concerned, that
 body endorsing the work he has done
 since he assumed the duties of man.
 ager of the schools. Contracts will be forwarded to
 those who were reelected with in a few days and the board expects to receive notice of their acceptance or declination before the June meeting. MT. Judd and the members of his staff to whom invi-
 tations to return will be extended are expected to accept the boards offers
 and there probably will be but few
 changes in the personnel of the force
 when school reopens in the fall.
 The school committee is well pleased with the results accomplished by MT. Judd and his assistants and takes little stock in the complaints
 that have been made concerning the former. The principal is a strong disciplinarian and his efforts to inn
 prove the department of the young sters have sometimes evoked criti- cism from some of their parents.
 Most of the stories have been greatly exaggerated, however, and MT. Judas reelection is evidence of the conii- | dence placed in him by the board. There were but few salary increases | at the meeting, the wages of nearly all the teachers having been raised a year ago. While there are com 1 plaints in many towns concerning the small compensation given to school teachers, there is now but little kick here, Plainville being ahead of most of the places in this locality as far as teachers salaries are concerned. The resignation of Miss Ruby Car ter, one of the teachers, to take ef- feet at the close of the term, was received and accepted at the meet ing. Two other teachers, whose names have not been given out by the board, for reasons best known to the members, will also leave this year. Unless some of those re-elect- ed decline to remain here which seems A~ cancies to fll,. Miss Mildred Nelson | Of Southington having been chosen | last night to succeed one of the teachers who will leave.
 Commander Streeter to Sneak. Frederick V. Streeter, commander
 of the state department of the C. A. R., has accepted an invitation to give a patriotic talk to the children of fh4 J0nn
 at 1880. Commander Streeter will
 talk under the auspices of Newton
 Manross post.
 He will tell some of his experiences during the Civil war and his entire
 address will be appropriate for the
 Memorial day season.
 All local veterans and tho nar-
 ents of the children who are inter- ested, are invited to listen to his re-
 marks.

 The funeral of Louis Deficit whose oody was found in the Pequabuck riv-
 CT Saturday, which was scheduled for this morning had to be postponed ow- ing to misunderstanding on the
 part of the mans relatives. w. A. Bailey and company. which had
 charge of the remains. was notified last night by the mans brother to send the body to Avon this morning for interment in the Catholic ceme-
 tery in that place.
