NOR WITCH
BUSINESS
COLLEGE
SO Main Street -

The salary you receive after grad
uating from a business school eener-
ally depends upon the training received
while attending school.
The NORWICH BUSINESS COL
LEGE is offering course of training
in BOOKKEEPING, SHORTHAND
and TYPEWRITING, which meets the
demand of the most exacting business
men, and insures to the student a sat
isfactory salary for his services. You
can save both time and money in pre-
pairing for good paying position, by
taking the combined course of BOOK
KEEPING, SHORTHAND and TYPE
WRITING all at the same time.
The present management of the
NORWICH BUSINESS COLLEGE had
made a speciality of this combined
course for over 20 years, and has
placed hundreds of young people in
good paying positions. The total ex-
pense for taking the combined course,
under our special arrangements, is but
very little if any greater than it has
formerly cost, for single course of
BOOKKEEPING or SHORTHAND.
We can place every graduate in q
satisfactory position.

Now that the Federal authorities
have taken hold Of the examination Of
children leaving New York by rail
during the infantiIe paralysis epidemic
in that city, it is felt by Health Off
Ger Brophy that no conference of tho
health officials is necessary at the
present time as the present methods
being followed are sufficient to insure
proper protection of this city against
an invasion of the dread disease in
Norwich.
Such was the statement made by
the health officer on Sunday night.
He also stated that there were no new
developments here and that there is
no need of alarm on the part IF Nor
witch people at the present.
The announcement that the Federal
authorities had taken UP the New
York situation will relieve the local
officials of a good deal of anxiety.
However, as the Federal authorities it
is said, will examine only those chill
dren leaving New York by rail it will
be necessary to continue a strict eX-
animation of the children being
brought here by boat.
It was expected that a conference of
the health officials would be held on
Saturday but it was decided that such
a conference was not necessary at
present The local situation is being.
well handled by the authorities.
No New Gases in New London.
Sixty-nine children from New York
were examined on the New London
line steamer on it's arrival in New
London Saturday morning but no new
cases of infantile paralysis were found.
DR.. William D. Cronin conducted the
inspection and he was assisted by In
spector Lawrence J. AIcGinley of the
health department and a nurse from
Memorial hospital
Each child who was to get off was
subjected to a thorough examination
but none showed any traces of the

Circular Letter Issued.
The state board of health has is
sued a circular letter to health au-
thOrities containing specific instrUc-
tions in regard to precautions to be
taken to prevent the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis from spreading in
this state. Children under Is years
from New York should on their arri-
val in Connecticut be registered. If a
child has not a certificate of health
from the New York authorities it
should be examined on arrival and at
frequent intervals afterwards. A per-
son coming from New York and who
is suffering from any sickness should
be kept under quarantine until the ma
ture of the disease is determined by
positive diagnosis.
Positive cases Of the epidemic should
be reported at once to the state board
Of health, by the local authorities. The
state instructions impress on the 10
cal authorities the necessity Of guard
ing against a panic among the people
of their community on account of the
disease. When there are children
from New York in a, neighbOrhOod the
attendance of all children at theatres,
churches and other indoor gatherings
should be discouraged. Attention is
called to the danger and necessity of
destroying flies which carry the infeC-
ton of the disease.

ANOTHER MIXUP IN
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISS ON
ApPointee as Steward At Soldiers
Home Is Not On The Eligible List.

The attention of President Charles
c. Morris. of the civil service com
mission, has been directed to the
appointment of Harry T Lutterna1
ard at the soldiers home at NOrUtOn
and to the fact that he das not On
the eligible list Of candidates for
the position prepared by the COM
mission. This suggests the question
if Mr.. Luttednan is legally eligible
for the position to which he was
appointed by the soldiers hospital
board at the meeting last Saturday.
The records of the civil service
commission show that Mr.. Lutter-
man stood sixteenth in the list OF
those who passed the first test to
ton were subjected. The commits
sion took the first ten names on the
list for the personal or final test.
The name of Mr.. Lutterman was
not among these it being considered
that he stood too low in the first test
to qualify him for taking the sec
ond He therefore never took the
complete test of the civil service
commission and his name did not
appear in the list certified to by the
commission
The attention of President Norris
has also been called to the records
which show that Mr. Lutterman was
only SO years old and to the state
ment that he has had seventeen
years experience in the duties Of
the position to which he has been
appointed. It is pointed out that
ence, according to the statement of
Mr.. Lutterman began his expert
ris age in his 10th year.
Major John Fl. Thatcher, a mem
Der of the soldiers hospital board,
had his attention directed the other
day to the apparent discrepancy in the
dates and he was asked if he knew
the age of Mr.. Lutterman. Major
Thacher was understood to say that
he believed that the appointee's age
was As and that he has had seventeen
years experience as steward.
The answer of Major Thatcher re-
vealed another discrepancy in state
ments There seems certainly to
be a misunderstanding somewhere.
If the records of the civil service
commission are to be. taken as final
Mr.. Jutterman did not qualify for
the position, as the law required, it
being under the operation of the
civil service law. The positoio can
be easily exempted by the governor,
but up to the present such action
has not been taken

THE DIVINE VOCATION
FATHER GREENE'S TOPIC
Missionary From LaSaIette College
Urges Parents to Influence Children
Toward Work for Souls.

Toward Work for Souls.
The preacher at st. Patrick's church
Sunday was Rev. Walter J. Greene, M
S., of the Missionary College of LalSa
lette, Hartford. This Apostolic School
is the American branch of the colleges
located at 1875 Via Cavour, Rome, Italy,
and at Stanstead, Province of Quebec.
Its object is to spread devotion and
honor to Mary, the Mother of Christ,
the type of the perfect mother, while
training young men who are study
ing for the holy priesthood and the
missionary life. In eastern Connecti-
cut there is particular interest in the
religious congregation Of La Salette
as a number Of priests from the Hart
ford college have been pastors and
curates at st. James church, Daniel
son
Rev. Father Greene spoke to St
Patrick's congregation upon the topic
of The Divine Vocation. At this pc
ents are casting about for best pro-
fession to give their children, who
perhaps have just completed the gram
mer school course, or who have fin
ished high school. Possibly such par
ents have their minds fixed on a pro-
fession. or a business life for their
children.
This is the time and the opportu-
nifty when parents-mOthers in partiC-
uIar-might exert their counsel and
influence to bend the thoughts of chill
dren toward life in the service OF
the altar.
Every Hebrew mother, the preacher
said, had in her heart the hope that
her son might prove the promised
Messiah, the Great Prophet, the Ex-
peCtatiOn of the Ages. With that hope,
she early took her boy to the Temple,
acquainting him with the significance
of its rites and ceremonies. The
mothers and fathers of today can make
no higher and hoIier offering to God
than the futures of their children, to
be spent in aiding others to, knoWl-
edge of Christ and salvation.
Parents should not be influenced by
material considerations, in keeping
their children out Of this holy calling
Although the missionary takes the
vows Of poverty, chastity and obedi-
ence, and such reIigious-m and
women-can never help their parents
in a material way, yet those parents
who offer their children to God as
Abraham offered his son Isaac, Will
find that God will reward them in 9
supernatural way, that they will fine
rich compensation, here and hereafter
Rev. Father Greene assisted at St
PatTiCk's church Sunday during the
absence of the rector, Rev. J. H. Brod-
erick. The low mass at 1890 o'cIocE
was read by Rev. Peter J. Cuny.
