H. c. ANDERSEN
SCHOOL. NOTES

Hurrah! now comes Christmas
vacation.
Ten pupils were absent from
the grammar room Tuesday.
The fifth grade has completed
4 booklet on The Story Of Silk.
Several visitors called at the
school Tuesday to see the pro-
grams.
Three Of the rooms had d
Christmas tree Tuesday after
noon.
All the pupils Of the grammar
room are proud of their poet
Byron Olsen.
The pupils Of the second inter
mediate were offered 4 prize for
the best Christmas story.
We learn that the board of edu-
catien autoed to Brookpark one
day last week to inspect the
school building there ii order ID
get suggestions for our new
school.
The provoking ailment, cold,
has been playing havoc with the
attendance the past week,
several pupils have been confined
to their homes for = few days:
seven from the grammar room
were thus confined Tuesday.
What might have been IN
assault was narrowly avertsd
Tuesday morning in that one Of
the boys came into the room
wildly flourishing q ten dollar
check. The boys headed BY Mel
sen made a furious attack upon
incomer but luckily escaped un-
injured. Next time you win first
prize in the potato contest, BY
ron, we advise you not to flaunt
the prize so openly or we might
take it away from you, say we.
Saturday evening the boy
scouts met for q special session.
Eleven Of the IL active scouts had
successfully passed the second
class examination and were eli
gible to be invested as second
class scouts. After q few re-
marks by the scoutmaster, he
read an article By the Cave Scout
on The Ideal Scout following
which assistant scoutmaster v.
Petersen presented the new
badges. Al social half hour was
spent before adjournment.

1t is only a very small part of
the history a person can touch in
three months. Because of this
we begin at home, A mother
does not begin to tell her child of
far off countries, she tells about
herself and her life.
The history which is a part of
the country in which the young
men and women live, and the his
tory of the race from which they
spring must be set before them.
Do you not think that If the
history of his people can hold the
attention and thoughts of a young
man several hours each day for
three months, that he will begin
to feel that life is something else
than to have fun and dress. He
viii begin to feel the greatness in
standing between two ages to
draw from the one and give to
the other.
1t is natural that at the Folk
Highschool in Denmark the
Danish history must be the main
subject. 1t is as natural that at
the Folk-Highschool in America
the American history must pre-
dominate.
Because young mans father
came from a foreign land is not
saying that he feels no ownership
in American history. The young
man has lived his life on the soil
where Mr.. Lincoln lived his life.
He as Mr.. l.. expects to give
America his lifes work. How
can he help but feel for his coun-
try.
But it is also natural that each
race should strive to preserve
and transfer all the culture Of its
forefathers the history, the
poetry they have brought with
them from other lands.
Just how all these many races
and peoples in our country are to
be assimilated no one knows.
But / want to say that at the
same time the immigrating races
are led as far as possible to un-
derstand American culture each
one ought to work conscientiously
to retain that which they have
inherited from their forefathers.
Otherwise | am afraid the poetry
of their life will be lost. Ameri-
ca is not only in need of men
who can succeed materially, she
is as much in need of men with
poetic appreciation.
When the folksong of America
is compared with that of any Of
the old countries it falls through.
We are still looking for a poet.
The old countries have had theirs.
All this wealth of the old coun-
tries must be used. If used it
will plant its precious seeds some
where in the heart of young
America. We sing at the Folk
Highschool--many times a day.
A school without song is in oppo-
sition to the Folk-Highschool,
Ability to sing should be de-
veloped in the young men and
women to such an extent that
not one of them would be left out
of that eternal world of song
which goes from age to age. A
singing man or woman is hard to
lead astray.
Just little more about our rea-
son for not examining our
students. We want them to
work while they are with us not
to win points but because they
have desire to work. TIE work
must be voluntary. There are
some of our students who do not
get started but if we should try
to force them We would be work
ing against the principles Of the
school. The free individual work
we lay great stress on. We try
to get it through conversation on
everything the young people feel
they want to ask about and are
thinking of. | have often
admired the work some Of the
students do.

ding in Dudjack's hall on Saturday night and availed himself of the op- portunity, and incidentally get several steins of cooling draughts free gratis. Following a fight he was arrested bv Officer Dart.
 Roman said he was drinking a glass of wine and when he had finished he sat the empty glass in front of one John Tutack. Tutack objected to the procedure. Not to the mere fact that he sat the glass in front of him. John does not like empty glasses and said so particularly "when you can get it filled up at wedding free." An argu- ment started which resulted disas- trously for Roman who will doubtless keep away from weddings and free booze hereafter. He was fined $5 and costs.
 Was Transplanted Here.
 Michael Fisk and John Cebella be- came engaged in a bar-room brawl Saturday night and it required Officer Quirk in the role of arbitrator to sep crate them. Fisk was accused of as- saulting Cebella and was fined $2O and costs.
 Cebella declared that Fisk came in and said to him:
 What are your"
 I'm a Pole,' Cebella shouted, whsreupon Fisk shouted:
 ''Well, I'm a Russian and I'll wipe up the floor with you.''
 He attempted to put action to suit his words and, failing, he went out into the street and returned with stone which he hurled with unerring aim at Cebella's head. Cebella said Fisk was 0 good shot, for the stone hit it's mark. He also said the impact of the stone against his skull caused the former to break in half, but his head is still intact, demonstrating that he has good head.
 Baxter Goes to Jail.
 James Baxter has at last landed in jail. And for his old offense, that of stealing liquor from a saloon. At 12:15 o'clock this morning Officer James Skelly saw a match flare up in the cellar beneath Hiding Nelsons Arch street cafe. Investigating. he caught Baxter emerging with three quart bottles of whiskey. Baxter de- nied stealing the mand said he was on his way to visit 8 sick friend, but as it is not customary to visit sick friends at 12:15 o'clock in the morning, espe- cially when it it raining, the officer placed him under arrest.
 Baxter pleaded not guilty and said
New Britain herald., 1915-08-30

he was too drunk to remember what did take place. Officer Skelly said the man was not drunk, however, and when arrested he did not even smell the odor of rum about his person.
 Judge Kirkham sent him. to jail for twenty days.
 Wife Pleads for Husband.
 After having her husband arrested for punching and kicking her, Mrs John Hendler, an attractive woman, came before the judge and begged that the action against her vigorous spouse be halted. Because he has prom ised me he will never do it again." she said Judgment was suspended.
 Hendler said the trouble started over an argument about moving. As he has but little money he favored staying at their present home and after delivering his ultimatum he asked his wife for fifty cents. She de- murred for fear he would spend it for drink and he thought this unfair, as he always gives her his pay and if he needs a quarter he always asks her for it. After some argument his wife called him a drunkard, he said, where upon he pushed her face and sre re- talated by knocking his hat off He then hit her, he admitted.

ALLEGED BLACK HAND LEADER
FOUND GUILTY FOR THIRD
TIME IN WEEK.
Was Charged With conspirina az a
Black Handler to Kill Frank
Jialiotti at WeIisvilIe.

To be three times convicted within
a week Is the unenyiable record OF
Tony Lupo. alleged leader OF the local
Black Hand gang. who was again
found guilty yesterday of conspiracy

only out six minutes. making a gen
eral average for the three trials OF
eight minutes each for the juries TO
reach decision.
Attorney A. J. Porter endeavored TO
get his client 10 plead guilty 10 the
charge yesterday but was unsuccess-
full. He then announced to the court
that inasmuch as the cases against
Vetronelli, alias Lupo. bid well TO con-
tinue Indefinitely. he could not further
defend him as IL was monopolizing all
OF his time.
Lupo was tried yesterday for con-
spring to kill Frank Jigliotti. Evil
dence exactly similar TO that intro
duced in former trials was introduced
yesterday. Angelo Tallaritox was put
on the stand by the state and told in
dramatic manner of the organization
and preparation OF the members or
the society to go TO Welisville TO kili
Jigliotu.
IL Is alleged and substantially
f'SfNh NhoN LupO was Odu
name by Jigliotti and that he plotted
his death. He wrote a friend in
Wellsville to have Jigliotti visit him.
and then arraigned the gang to end
his life. They went, IL was testified
TO. armed with weapons furnished
them by Lupo but failed to hnd
Jisliotti, he having been warned to
stay in Pittsburgh.
The case OF yesterday is only one
OF many similar ones TO be tried
against Lupo. When told OF the YER
