place in the American hall Of fame

take him seriously, and students of pO-

the encyclopedia with no success at all.
Yet MIR. McGillicuddy stands today one
of the most eminent of Americans; a
citizen admired by millions and a man
whose opinion on certain subjects will
be printed under flaring headlines all

have to declare war with Mexico In
order to edge into the popular interest.
Mr.. McGillicuddy's birthplace, age and
early career are unlmpOrtant. bus name

Irish father, who had plenty Of time

full name, summer and winter, for many
years. but found that it was continually
getting tangled among his feet at crit

Four teachers now holding positions in the towns common schools will not be on the payroll next year, accord ing to report of the teachers com sn1fttee made at the monthly meeting of the school committee held last yevening in the town clerks office. They are Miss Marks, of the Blue Hills .sehool; Miss Ransome, of the Per- Icival school; Miss Brown, of the Ken- singten Grammar school, and Miss Porter, of the Beckley school These are thei only teachers who did not sign the contracts sent out by the teachers committee after the last meeting of the school board. ! The authorities have no knowledge of the retiring teachers, but it is un- derstood that Miss Brown has ac- cepted a position in a New Britain school.
 Superintendent J. w. Dows is a1- ready at work looking up teachers to fill the vacancies, and he will make his report on the matter at the next regular meeting of the board
 Members of the board were high ly pleased at Miss Scollon's action in renewing her contract for another year. It had been rumored about toMn that she was considering a po- sition offered her by Superintendent Stanley H. Holmes of tine New Brit ain school district. She is capable instructor, and her leaving would be A great loss to the Worthington Gram mar school.
 .4 The new contracts, as returned to the board through the teachers com mittee, which is composed of the chairman, William w. Fagan, Sid ney M. Cowles and F.. E. Honiss, show made in the annual payroll, the raise in Principal Bassett's salary be- ing responsible for one-quarter of this Rmount. Not counting the four teach CTS who are yet to be hired, teachers salaries for the season of 1914-15 will cost the town $7,64O, against $7,24O for the season which is Just : dra awing to a close. The total payroll will amount to sum in the neighbor- hood of $9,540. This gives a rough average of about $528 salary for each teacher, which compares favorably with the average New Britain teach efes salary which is approximately Z s682.
