SWIMMING NOW IN SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Miss Beatrice Fox Engaged for
 Sacred Heart Children

1 One more step is being taken by
 Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, the energetic pastor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Polish church, for the advancement '! and betterment of the scholars of the parochial school by the introduction of swimming into the curriculum of studies now being pursued by the Scholars. Plans for this new line have been under consideration for some time by the pastor, and have been completed by the engaging of Miss Beatrice Fox of this city to take charge.
 The classes will be divided into two sections, one consisting of twenty-five boys and the other of twenty-five girl. Lessons will be given every Friday afternoon for the boys and Saturday mornings for the girls The school is equipped with two up to date tanks with dimensions or 36x5O feet The first lessons will be given tomor- row.
 The idea of having swimming les , sons in the school was formulated by Father Bojnowski during the summer after careful study of the many deaths from drowning and also the many narrow escapes. The pastor mas Ielt for some time that it is essential that the body should be trained as well ns the brain, and to carry out this idea he has equipped one of the finest gymnasiums in the state, where young people are taught by capable teach CTS.
 In securing Miss Fox as teacher of swimming the priest has made an ex- cellent move toward the carrying out of his plans. She is one of the best qualified teachers in this line of work in New England states Miss Fox se- cured her training in the State Nor mai School of Gymnastics in New Haven and has had considerable ex- perience, particularly among women at Y. w. c. A. camps. She is at pres ent teaching swimming and gym nasium exercises in the American School for the Deaf in Hartford.

"TRIBUNA" SPEAKS .
 ON ANCONA CASE
Italian Newspaper Characterizes Sub- marine Attack as Bar
 barouS.

Rome, Nov. 10, via Paris, II p. m.- Commenting upon the sinking of the Ancona, the Tribuna says:
 "It was even more barbarous than the sinking of the Lusitania, for the passengers were not warned against sailing before they boarded the steam CT as in the Lusitania case.
 Modern civilization must rise against the criminal responsibility for the Ancona outrage. The Austrians, if the submarine was Austrian-sur- passed their allies and teachers. Presi- dent Wilson in the name of outraged humanity must read over the note re- ceived from Berlin and have it re- spected."
 The Idea Nazionale says the An coma case recalls the Lusitania, but that it is "graver and more ferocious as the submarine fired hundreds of shots against the Ancona to save tor pedoes, supplies of which are difficult to obtain in the Mediterranean, thus using the most inhumane methods and making escape precarious." The pa per urges immediate measures for the destruction of supply depots in the Mediterranean for submarines.

A touching tragedy occurred
in the Canida family in Bran
don Sunday afternoon when Rags
lost his life in an automobile &C
cident near the city cemetery.
Rags was young in years but old
in experience, and loud in advo-
eating things he believed to be
right. He was strictly sober
and moralist of the highest
type. He may be charged with
sometimes meddling a little with
other peoples business, but
characteristic of his family he
would have gladly suffered death
before deserving a friend. In
religion he seemed to be inclined
to the Baptists, but he was not
in full accord with the idea of
immersion. He was a regular
attendant at all the services of
this church, being particularly
interested in the Sunday school,
and quite frequently would join
in the song service. Rags was
buried by his fond owner, Miss
Grace White, and she shares the
sympathy of many friends in
her loss. We shall miss him and
feel that his place can never be
filled. Fare thee well, Rags, and
if still forever, then fare thee
well!
