 stitution. The Norwich Free Academy and the H4ckus hospital (uof the buildinEs5 are institutions. The build inss are merely instruments for carry Ing on the purposes of the institutions. They each have more than one build- Ing. They might have several in diff fefent parts of the town. but so long as they were under the came name and corporate control they would be but parts of one institution So say, so long as they are under one manage ment they form but one system or edu- cational institution.
 Secondly. as to official position: These od1cials are distinctly school of- ficials whether elected as district nfttee.
 Country Boy says # school com mltteemAn is town officer, Mir. Board man Is challenged to point out from the statutes what other ofi1ce he holds. He is not necessarily a town officer, nor strictly town ofieer in the sense that Country Boy would make him, but as said above distinctly a school offlciaI whether town, district or otherwise. The town fs made the limit of the sene3i ,.,s. aissriet simply as matter of will read chapter 135 of the general statutes he will find that provisions are made for school districts to consist or parts or towns whole towns or s.ad- joining portions" of different towns, aud that q school district is e body
 He says there Is no such office as committed Of the schools Of of any school. The fact that in the title of district school committee or town school committee the singular school, rather than the plural schools, is used shows that 1t makes no difference whether there is one or more than one building or school in the corporate corporate district whether town or not are spoken of as an institutional whole
 Thirdly. Who furnish and pay for supplies, town or school? The town and school accounts are kept dis- tinctly separate. from laying of taxes to order and payment of bills and reports of same. The school supplies must be ordered by the school officials, not the selectmen or town ofiicials, school committee. Neither the butcher. the baker nor the cand1estick maker If he is wise sends his bills to the town, but to the school committee of the school district. whether town or otherwise,
 Summary: X school or system Of schools, corporate, Is an edacational institution. The committee. whether elected by parts of 8 town. the town as whole, or adjoining parts of dif- ferent towns, are officers of that cor porate district or institution. if they receive state aid as the officials of this school district do. then in my opinion they are ainenable to this law. chapter S9,- section 1888.

WASHING WHITE HOSIERY.

White silk stockings have a most annoying habit of acquiring a yellow ish tinge. after two or three washings, and this Is usually due to their be- ing washed out in a basin and hung up to dry without bleaching. Soak the stockings half an hour in cold wa ter into which a pinch of borax has been dropped; then wash them in warm, but no hot water made sudsy with some pure white soap. Rinse in three waters-this Is very important, for the least bit of soap remaining will yellow just a trifie. Then hang the stockings in the stun and wind to bleach and dry.
 Never touch them with g. hot iron. but when thoroughly dry smooth out and roll up. Never put white silk stockings to soak with black or. col ored silk stockings. for the dye is very apt to run out and streak the white hose badly. White cotton stockings now considered better taste with sport shoes than silk hosiery, may be wash ed in the same manner. but the cot ton stockings look best if pressed with a hot iron so that the fuzzy nap in the weave is laid perfectly flat

MAINTAIN IMPROVED coNpi-
 TONS.

The past year has been one of achievement and growth in many lines of effort This country has been fa- vored with bumper crops with which to take care of the extensive demands which have been and are being made on it. It has been brought to the recognition of capital that there Is great need for development In many directions in order to make it inde- pendent Of the products of other coun- tries and which Is possible through the use of our abundant resources and proper legislative encouragement. It has been year of increased pro- duction in the mining regions. the cop per output having beaten all records, the shipments of iron ore showing a tremendous gain while zinc mines have established new record for output and the production of other metals has shown an appreciable in- crease.
 In manufacturing along certain lines there has been an unprecedented amount of business. Not only are orders being taken to the limit, but the production is such as to clog the trans portation lines and the conditions which made it possible are still pre- vailing as the new year opens. How long it will continue no man knows, but while the wave of prosperity is dependent upon conditions beyond our limits and outside of our control, the future is dependent to large extent upon the manner in which this country looks after its own welfare. It would be moro satisfactory if such devel- opment had occurred in times of peace but 1t is not too early. to make prep arations for the time when that will prevail and the country will lose the special protection which war has giv- en it. Now is the time to. take the steps which are needed to make pros- perity permanent.

WHICH IS THE TRuE ANsMERa

While the Austrian answer in which # is announced that the commander of the submarine who was responsible for the sinking of the Ancona has been punished, that indemnity will be paid Tor the American lives lost and pledg- ing safety to those aboard vessels at sea which are about to be torpedoed
 may have been surprise at this time inasrnuch as it was expected that the dua2 monarchy would seek to continue hegotiations through a longer period, k [s impossible to put confidence in Ai1e Austrian promises. It is a ques- lion whether the true answer to the American note and demands lies in the written statement of Baron Burian pE In taB sinking of the merchant yes- Eels without warning and the loss of many lives which have taken place as the result of Austrian submarine nctIylty while the questions raised by thA American note have been under discussion
 While American lives were not con- eexned ia the sinking of the Japanese Rnd French liners in the Mediterra- mean, it was only because they did not happen to be aboard which fact had not been ascertained by the com nAnder of the submarines who were responsible for those cases, but they are involved zn the torpedofng of the Persia which was sent to the bottom ofz Crete with large loss of life and im none Of these instances was there any respect paid to the rights of hu- znauity. Thus Austria promises to do cu6 thing and deliberately does an- other and under such circumstances lint jt has virtually broken its pledges while they were being formulated. If # thinks that this country is going tD be satisfied with it's answer under thnaa conditions 1t will find that 1t is greatly mistaken.

ReeenstruetIna Dad Read..

Something over a million and a half dollars have been expended by the Germans since their occupancy of Poland In reconstructing the unspeak- ably bad roads that oriss -cross the Kingdom at more or less rare intervals and which have been all but destroy ed by artillery fire and by the trans- portation of big guns. ammunition and food supplies.
 For those in charge of the Recon struction of Connections between the Armies and Home's the task has grown with each kilometer that the Germans have won from the Russians. Prior 70 the fall of Warsaw there were approx imately 1046 lilometers (655 nailes) to roads to be repaired, but when the Russians retreated to Brest Idtovsix, and then abandoned that fortress, the mileage increased to $40 kiiometers (s4o0 miles) and the dificulties in- voived grew greater with each ad- dstional mile.

Two dome shaped pieces of colored felt are stitched to- sether, and on one side are painted or stencfled two realistic dachshunds.
