NORWICH TOWN
Fraends of Rirds Provide for Them DaiIy-starIinss on LlIIibridge Farm --Joseph Wheeler Leaves Hospital c. E. Anniversary Social.

A boarding house for the birds. dur ing these days of deep snow, is kept by two elderly ladies on the Green. Eunches of suet are tied to low branch es on pear tree and shrubs and there nuthatctes, chiokadeeS, woodpeckers and bluejays feast, while about the door the snowbirds find crumbs scat tered. The snowbirds come and go in dockS.
 A careful bird observer on the Otro- bando, well versed in the habits of our birds, says he has never seen etarlings drive other birds away. This week on the LilHbridGe place there is a flock of four or five hundred starlings. These birds have often been on the place and it has never been noticed that they troubled other birds. Quail have come and are being fed grain, the song sparrows are there now ahead Of their usual time of return. which Is about deal said by some nature students against the starlings, but it is admitted that they are useful in destroying cut worms and tent caterpillars.
 A recent writer in New York and London magazine claims that the woodpecker destroys green trees by boring and that in a clearing in Maine woods these birds have become intoxi- cated by drinking fermented sap from a large white birch tree. On a maple tree in Huntington lane woodpeckers bored almost constantly for a few weeks for the sap, and large decay ed branch of a tree in a pasture near showed many deep holes of diameter of nearly two inches excavated, enough to have wfthered the branch.

were tardy 120 times. as compared with 155 instances of tardiness for 89 pupils in December, an improvement: 295 were perfect in attendance during January, a decrease of 72 from De- cember. The membership at the end of the month was 724. as compared with 766 for the month of December.
 Attendance.
 January's poor attendance was due partly to continued heavy colds, but the poor attendance the last of the month was due partly to bad travel ing, the roads outside the city, even the state road strips, being in fearful condition. During January the teach CTS have succumbed to the grip and it has been a difficult matter to find temporary teachers for the schools. Two schools were closed. one for two days-Smith street primary, and the East Putnam school for three days. My experience has been that it is as well to close school for short periods in the absence of the regular teacher. better in fact, than that the school cd or inexperienced teacher. I have niled in for teachers in the grades and in the high school during the month.
 Evening School.
 The evening school attendance has been steadily dropping from the 150 high mark until at present the night ly attendance runs from 66 to S2 Va r1ous reasons have been assigned for the apparent lack of interest, one of which is as good as another As the school is now organized, there are five distinct classes doing work from the lowest grades to the high school and the work is being done by four teach CTS.

This, am pos itive, is a progressive step, 6 step that gives the Putnam schools a higher rating than is enjoyed by other town systems where such arrangements can not easily be made.

 I am submitting with this report some committee reports that have been submitted to the Parent Teach ers' association and would suggest that they be accepted and filed. Some recommendations that, I have already made
 Some of the recommendation made by these committees are well worth consideration. notably the recommen- dation that electric lights be provided rael Putnam school. On two occa- sions during January, 1t was neces- sary to close the schools on account of the darkness. No work requiring safely done.

 There has been much absence from school, but it has been largely on ac- count of illness.
 Some parents are still inclined to offer trivial reasons for keeping chil- dren out For example, carrying din- ners to such distance that the child does not return in time for the open ing of the session, Is not a sufficient excuse for absenting him for the af- ternoon.
