SCHOOL chill DREN SAVING MONEY
Connecticut Pupils Making Fine RecordHSecretary Hne
8 Makes His Biennial Report General School Condi-
tons in the State, ABS School Houses and 5.s67
School Teachers-Waste of Town Deposit Funds

The biennial report for 1s14-15 Of
Secretary Charles D. Hine. Of the
state board Aof education, is now in
sthe hands of the printer. and it will
be- issued in: printed form in the
course of a few weeks.
Mr.. Hine gives a historical sum-
mary of legislation for the promotion
of education in the state for. the past
200 years. In 400 the state laid "a
tax of forty shillings on every thou
sand pounds of the lists OF estates"
out proportionately to those towns only
which should keep their schools ac-
cording to law.
School Savings Banks.
The report says that school saw
ings banks in Connecticut have
proved to be successful and valu-
able. and Mrs. S. L. Oberholtzer, the
general advocate Of the school saw
ings bank system, is quoted as say
of the best records for its proportion
ate scholar bank deposits. For the
school year ended 1912-1913 the last
time the full statistics were gathered
on the subject the school children in
the state had deposited in school saw
ings banks, SIS, 909.76.
Since that time the following towns
under state supervision have organ
lied school savings bank systems:
Bolton, Bridgewater, Canton, Chester,
Chatham, Colebroek, Columbia. Cow
entry, Cromwell, East Lyme. Filing
ton, Essex, Kent Middlefield, Mont
vile, North Canaan, North Stonington,
Old Lyme, Salisbury. Saybrook, Shar-
on, Sherman, Somers, Sufdeld, Tolland,
Warren, Washington, Waterford. Will
lington.
The report says that when every
boy and girl in the country has
bank account of from 500 to $500
at the time of graduation from the
elementary school course-an achieve
ment possible in any community
where school savings are in opera
tion--the future will be far more en-
couraging"

common schools of the state 21l,975
pupils, an increase Of about 5000 over
the previous year, The average daily
attendance was 10000. or about $500
more than In 1913.
Though there was substantial In
crease in the number Of pupils en-
rolled there was no increase In the
number of schoolhouses. In 1914 there
were LASS echoolhouses in the state,
exactly the same number as in 1913.
The number of school teachers In the
state In 1914 was 333 men and 5,524
women. There were 81 supervising
principals, or eight less than in 1913.
The average monthly wages OF men
teachers was s117.s0. an increase of
$685. over the previous year, and OF
women $ei.s3. or $1.s2 more than IN
1913.
A fact worthy Of particular notice
is the increase in the valuation OF
school buildings Notwithstanding the
number remained the same. In 1913
they were valued at $2i ,0s7, 2s0.s7. and
in 1914. s22,s5l, 1855. This may be
accounted for by the fact that new
and more expensive buildings took
the place Of old ones, the number,
therefore, remaining the same while
the value was increased.
The revenue from all sources for
schools in the state for 1914 was 81
o17.3132s, or about $4,000 less than
The total expenditures for schools
in 1914 was ss,5SS.594.4s. This amount
ed to s5.52 per capita Of the popula-
ton OF the state.
Town Deposit Fund.
The report says that the town de-
posit fund amounts to only 1874, 972.S4
and that the interest from 1t was $685.
1910. When the amount was depos-
tied with the towns in 1897 1t was
$763,6e1s3. The report makes this
comment: The waste Of this fund has
gone so far that in most towns the al
legged interest is no longer a contribu-
ton to the support Of schools. When
the fund exists in a town order no
tax is laid to meet the interest and
the school resources are increased on
paper only"

The near approach OF school days
discloses great need on the part OF
some families of shoes for the children
We are not able to supply the need
with new shoes. and our ability to meet
the need depends upon the second
hand shoes that are sent in or offered
Shoes partly worn can be repaired
and made serviceable for some time
longer.
Along with the shoes, there can be
used quickly all kinds of children's
clothing, far beyond our stock in

SHORE BIRDS MAY
NOW BE SHOT.
But Hunters Should Know State and
Federal Laws.

The law for the protection of shore
birds, mud hen, snipe and gallinuies
is now off with the first of the month
and the open season will con-
tinue nutil December 81. There is
however, a federal law which con-
ficts with the state statute and
the hunter must post himself to see
that he is not violating the enact
ment of congress. According to
tho federal law it will be unlawful
TO shoot shore birds after Deem
Der Is.
A similar situation exists in the
case of railbirds. The site law
for their protection goes off on Sep
TENDER II and it will not resume its
protecting function again until De-
cemher 81. but the open season I'M
der the federal law does not begin
until Sept ember> 16 and continues
until December /.
1t will be thus seen that the shoot
ing season for rail begins four days
earlier under the state law and con-
tinues thirty days longer in Deem
Der.
Hunters should not forget that it
is possible to observe the state law
and violate the federal statute at
the same time. But it is not posi-
BILE to violate the state law if the
federal enactment is followed, owing
to the arrangement or dates In the
federal law. Hunters may be ar
rested by federal authorities for do
ing that which the state officials say
is perfectly lawful. The only way
to avoid trouble is to observe fed
eral requirements. In doing that
the hunter will be keeping within
the state law though he will sacri
fee many days of hunting which the
statute allows him.
The federal law and the state stat
ute are not in conflict on the season
for shooting ducks, geese, brant,
and swan. The open season for
shooting these does not begin until
next month
1t is noticed that quite a large
number of residents of Massachu-
sets have been making inquiries of
the fish and game commission in
regard to the shooting in this state.
1t is Inferred from this that there
may be ON invasion of Connecticut
by hunters from the territory of our
northern neighbor during the COM
ing season. The invaders will be
welcome when they are armed with
license which will cost them
$10.26. That is the penalty which
they will pay for not being residents
of this state.

dore Either accused of allowing women

lice Sergeants A. c. Matthews and
John H. Kane were the witnesses
against Mr.. Either. Sergeant Mat
thews testified to one occasion when
he saw four men and four women at
night in the saloon where there IS a
rear door. Sergeant Kane also testi-
fed to seeing an automobile party with
women in 1t come to this door at an
other time. and Chief Linton testified
that there had been complaints about
the place. 80,
The saloon proprietor testified that
two of the women in the party seen
by Sergeant Matthews had their hus-
bands with them and he told who they
were. He also said he knew about
the automobile party Sergeant Kane
had seen but these did not come into
the saloon.
Judge T. ]. Kelly, who was counsel
dence produced had not proved that
there had been any lettering in the
saloon on the part of the women and
that they could not be expected to
gulp down their drinks and leave in
a hurry, but they were entitled to stay
a reasonable time after drinks had
been served them. City Attorney Hall
claimed that the law had been vio-
lated as regards women in the sa-
loon.
Judge Barnes discharged the ac-
cused. ruling that no lettering in this
case had been proved.

FAIRGROUNDS CHILDREN
sHoWEDSTHEIR ACTIVITIES.
Gave interesting Demonstration al
Mt. Pleasant Street School Yard.

A cheerful and approving. throng Of
mothers and some fathers and other
relatives and a lot of friends gather
ed at the Mt. Pleasant Street School
games of some one hundred boys and
girls and the little folks gave an en-
tirely satisfactory demonstration of
the beneficial results of the summer
Fairgrounds. They played Farmer
in the Dell while Drop the Handker-
chief and London Bridge were old
favorites that had not lost their pop
ularity. Then the folk dancing was
charnlinsly carried out with the Dance
of Greeting as prettily executed pre-
iminary, and the Merry Go Round and
dainty Ribbon dance leading up to
the grand and thrilling finale of the
Maypole.
The boys played croquet while their
sisters skipped on nimble toes and
they also had some athletic events to
try their prowess- Alvin Heebner
showed by high jumping four feet
the broad jump, and he will be one of
the strong contestants at the final
athletic events that are to be held al
Lake street this afternoon at 1.30.
followed by the folk dancing at 8
o'clock.
The children also exhibited the ap-
paratus and showed their admiring
audience how thew spend their play
ground time busily keeping out of
mischief and there was music from
Porteous and Mitchell Edison pho
nograph TO add more pleasure to the
occasion. Miss Mary F. Mckay. su-
pervisor and Miss May Graham and
Miss Alice Kilroy the playground
teachers were in charge of the field
day. and the compliments that they
received were merited.

Another big attraction was added to
the already large list of features for
the New London county fair when Of

had not been completed when the pro-
gressive management of the Norwich
fair butted in and, outstripping the
Charter Oak people, secured this addi-
tionaI feature.
The display will give a daily demon.
