TRAINING POLICE DOGS
H. L. Baer, of New York, to Use New
 Farm as Training Camp.

Henri I. Baer, who cannes from the vicinity of New York, has pur- chased the Frank Harrington farm near East Killingly and is to establish there training camp for police dogs. In this work MT. Baer is an expert and teaches the intelligent animals which he selects for this worlz-a fine breed of German collies-to do things that seem almost impossible for ami malS to perform.
 when it's full complement is received. Already a number of dogs have ar rived. MT. Baer has trained dogs for the New York police department and for other police systems throughout the country.
 In the fine open country about the farm MT. Baer has secured at East Killingly, he will have a great field in which to develop to the utmost the intelligence of the dogs. They have miles of country to work over and will be in little danger of interference from what might prove detrimental influences.
 The training of a dog as MT Baer trains one is a long and tedious pro- cess, but the results achieved are well worth all the time and labor spent. When one of the dogs on the police camp farm is ready to be delivered he is a graduate of a school where he has learned much.
 MT. Baers clients, if they may be designated as such, include not only police departments but some of the wealthiest families in America. The dogs are valuable to these wealthy in- dividuals for use on their country es- tates, some times. perhaps. to chase away process servers or other unde- sirable individuals. The dogs are no respectors of persons when they are on duty, doing what they are told. Shipments of the dogs that are to | undergo the training process have been arriving this week. Some came | to Putnam Tuesday morning and oth- CTS arrived at Dayville Monday. They are hurried over to the farm as soon | as they arrive and will not be seen in an urban section again for some time l to come. When they do realppear they will be members of the police dog | camp alumni, with degree to write after their names. for instance, D. o. C.-detectors of crooks.

 Importance of Periodicals.
 Miss Keith was in Boston Saturday attending the spring meeting of the New England English Teachers as- sociation. The topic of the meeting was the use of periodicals in high school and college classes. The chief speakers were Prof. Dallas Lore Sharp of Boston University and Hamilton
 Holt of The Independent. Indicative of the emphasis now being placed on the use of magazines and weeklies is the fact that in one of the New York high schools a thousand copies of The Independent are taken by pupils each week for use in school work; other weeklies recommended are The Outlook, The Literary Digest and The Nation.
 Of particular interest considering his own profession was MT. Holt statement of his firm belief that not 1 more than one-third of a persons
 time available for reading should be spent on newspapers, weeklies. and other periodicals, at least two-thirds | of it being saved for the more valua- l ble reading of books. ,... The teachers of the Putnam high school have long wished to make l greater use of periodicals, but have l not been able to do so because oi | difficulty in obtaining a sufficient number of magazines. The work ir 1 debating is also greatly hindered by l the same lack, especially of bound 1 copies.
