 Trout For Pemfret.
 Four thousand lingering trout were received at Pomfret station Thursday morning from the state hatchery and this section. The trout were from four to six inches in length-some of them slightly longer-and were in ex- cellent condition. The fish were dis tributed under the direction of Charles Morin, who has received 39 applica- tions from local men for a can each of 200 trout. Nineteein more cans are due the local men who applied, but whether these will be received this fall cannot be determined as yet, for it is possible that there will not be sufficient f1ngerlings to supply all the persons who have applied from diff ferent parts of the state. A little later a shipment of pheasents from the state game preserve is expected here and the birds will be liberated in the vicinity.

 Faithful Teaehera
 During the past year our teachers have taught six periods a day for five days in the week and have had con- ference periods one or two hours in the afternoon Our laboratory classes have been too large to be accommodated in the laboratories at one time and this condition has necessitated a large amount of work out of school hours and a certain amount of work not under the direct supervision of the teacher. Be- cause every teacher has taught full days. we could not divide classes that were too cumbersome to be handled as a whole successfully. We could not conduct two courses in history and one in mathematics which were sched- uled. but which were not absolutely required.
 New Building Needed.
 The need for a new building for the high school should be brought to the attention of the voters of the town and such action taken as will best serve the interests of all To delay consid- eration of this question much longer Is to lose ground already gained

NEW YEARS DAY RECEPTION

The College invited the citizens
Of Bcrca and vicinity 10 New
Years reception on Friday after
noon, and the invitation was ac-
ceptcd by several hundred people
who visited first the Offices in Lin
coin Hall. then the Library, and con-
vened in the Chapel at half past two.
The surprise entertainment" an
nounced consisted Of banjo and vi
olin music by two boys from North
Carolina, aud very wonderful
school march by the pupils Of the
colored school in the glade whose
teacher. Miss Title Gentry, is I'M
surpassed for her skill in getting up
exhibitions. The children were
heartily applauded again and again.
Between the hand-shakings at the
beginning and the refreshments at
the end. President Frost made a
few remarks about the organization
Of the College.
The BIrsar, whose office was first
visited. is the man who makes the
purchases for all departments OF
the College-food, tools, books, room
Furnishings, and thousand other
things necessary for an assemblage
Of so many hundred students. He
is also the custodian, guardian and
curator Of these various properties,
keeping lists or inventories Of them
all, and looking after repairs and
replenishments. The College owns
.nds, buildings. scientific apparatus,
lois, books. furnishings, to the
value of nearly a million dollars.
But all this is unproductiye prop
erty. II brings in no income, but
has to he taken care Of, and kept up
for the benefit Of the students.
The Treasurer's Office, which was
next visited, is the place where all
accounts are kept and all payments
are made to teachers, students and
wOrkmen. Just now the Treasurer
is in trouble because the real estate
purchases of last spring involved a
large debt and all summer the in
stitution has been paying out bor-
rOwed money for improvements.
