What looked like a Gypsey parade
arrived in town on the Hockomock

the late NJ. j. Mccormick, opposite
Richmond in Dresden. The men and
teams were journeying back to New

State. On two of the tracks were
small houses occupied by two families,
the women and children living in the

the journey to the new location. The
boiler and mill will be shipped to New
Hampshire by rail.

Tho nature studies now conducted in
the grammar grades Of the Bath pub
lie schools are producing satisfactory
results. Many Of the teachers report
their pupils much more alert in watch
ing the arrival Of birds on their
northward flight and as result there
il much more interest in the building
Of bird houses and in protecting and
feeding the birds In general.
