had witnessed a half dozen hardy
 farmers gather at the schoolhousc in the dusk of the evening and by the dim light of a lantern gravely discugs the districts problems and then sol emnly levy a tax on themselves to
 provide for the cause of popular edu- cation. It didn't mean much to him then, but in later years he had come to realize that the action of those farmers meant real sacrifice. that
 their courage and spirit represented
 in it's small way the strength of the
 nation in the Civil war and was the same spirit that had actuated the Col onists in the Revolution. He felt that today this same spirit was being perpetuated in organizations like the Stanley School Parents and Teachers association. This get-together spirit and friendly neighborly interest which had made last nights gathering pos sible would again work to the na- tion's salvation and that as in the past in times of strife and stress the countrys strength would be found 10 lie in the country rather than in the densely populated cities where each family dwells in isolation and is un- interested in his neighbor's welfare.
 Supt. Holmes Lauds Residents.
 Superintendent Holmes paid fine compliment to the school association and it's efficient president. He char actcrized Stanley Quarter as beau- tiful section of the city and spoke a word for the Stanley school, which is one of the things that makes it possible for city workers to dwell in the country MT. Holmes also took occasion to speak a word for the New Britain school board He thought the city most fortunate in having on its board such uniform high grade men, Their whole thought is for the welfare of the schools and what ever had been tho situation in other years he knew that politics has no part in the school administration to- day.
 Others who responded briefly to toasts were Principal Louis F. Slade of the High school Miss Ella A. Fal- lon and Mrs. Grace M CohoIan. Principal Shade called for vote of thanks for the officers, the speakers of the evening and the committee Of entertainment. The entertainment committee was composed of Mrs. " H. Watrous, chairman; Mrs l.. f.. SIadc, Mrs. J. F. Kingley Mrs F. ". Gale, Mrs. w. P. Ibelle. Mrs. W. J. Hoffman. Mrs F. E, Crandall. and Mrs. l.. R. Barker.

PRES. GAFFNEY PUTS
 CLOCK BACK AGAIN
Tells Of Boyhood Experiences in
 the Stanley Quarter

The annual meeting of the Stanley School Parents and Teachers asso- 1 citation last night was featured by a banquet and it proved a distinct triumph for the entertainment com mittee, composed of the lady mem bers of the association at the bus mess meeting which preceded the banquet, W. II. Watrous was elected president of the association to suc- ceed E. o. Kilbourne. Charles r. Perry was elected vice president, Miss Charlotte H. Hitchcock, secretary, and Mrs. Burton l. Gerrish, treasurer.
 E. o. Kilbourne as president of the association, was toastmaster t the banquet which was held in the west room on the lower floor of the school. Over 100 attended and the event was graced by President B. F. Gaffney of the school board and Su- perintendent Stanley H. Holmes. Miss Ella A. FallOn, supervisor in the pub lie schools, and Mrs. Grace M. CohO- ian, principal of the Smalley school, were also guests of honor. The school room was attra ctively decorated with large flags and sprays of apple bios &Oms. Bouquets Of wild flowers were used for table decorations and the whole made a most attractive picture. The banquet was of the homemade variety ana could scarcely have been improved upon. The members of the entertainment committee acted as waitrcsses and gave excellent ser vice.
 ''Thosc Were the Days"
 President IIilbourne proved an apt toastmaster and introduced Judge Gaffney as the first speaker The Stanley Quarter district was the boy hood home of Judge Gaffney and he was made to feel that he was back among old Friends. Speaking Of Stanley Quarter in the old days, when it's only school was of the kind de- scribed by Whittier in his immortal poem. Judge Gaffney told of going to school when Stanley street was mark ed by a red dust trail in summer, a quagmire in the spring and in winter distin guishable from the snow GOV cred fields only by a trail of fencc posts. He reminded his audience that the woods and fields which in many places are fast giving way to suburban residences were known to him as only a barefooted country boy can know them. Wells street was then Spiritual Lane and some times called PergatOry Lane. It was a place of dread for the country lads especially after dark, for all kinds of spooks were supposed to haunt it and every spring the "Gypsies' camped near the site of the present school. These wanderers were held in super stitious dread as it was the popular tradition that they kidnapped small boys and girls.
 Judge Gaffney then drew contrast picture of old and modern times. He
