 pr. Parker to Speak.
 A reformatory for women has been long urged by those interested in charities and corrections. The legis lature, at this session, is to consider bill for such an institution. Judge Edgar M. Warner is a recognized au- thority on such matters. and he is the chairman of the committee of the Chamber of Commerce on this matter, the other members being Walter J. Bartlett and Alexander Gilman.
 This committee has secured Doctor Valeria Parker to speak in Putnam Friday evening, February 23, in Odd Fellows hall The meeting will be open to all who are interested, and women will be particularly welcome. At the same meeting, Mrs. T. M. Hep burn, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association, will speak, taking for her subject, The Crisis" Invitations have been sent to local organizations.
 Mrs. Hepburn has been one of the most active and successful of the workers for equal suffrage. Putnam women who have been associated with her asked the Chamber of Commerce some time ago to allow time at some meeting of the chamber for her tD speak. This the directors voted to do; and later voted that the meeting on the woman's refQrmatory would be an appropriate occasion.

LENGTHY DISCUSSION AT
 SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Children of Samuel ChappeiI of Chap lin, Formerly of Parish Hill, Will Be Allowed to Attend North Windhan School Free of Tuition.

At the regular monthly meeting of the school board held in the town hall Wednesday evening there was a len gthy discussion as to the advisability of allowing the children of Samuel Chappell of Chaplin, formerly of Parish Hill, to attend the North Windham school free of tuition expense. Attor- ney Harvey appeared at the meeting for MT. Chappell, while Attorney T. J. Kelley of the school board discussed the legal side of the matter for the board. The matter had been in the hands of the transportation committee, which was to report at last nights meeting. That committee stated that the matter was settled as far as they were concerned, but as MT. Chappell had appeared before the board mo- stion was made and carried whereby the latter was given a hearing in the matter. Attorney Harvey spoke for MT. ChappeH, stating that the man had moved from Parish Hill, whereby the not being compelled to transport his children to school. It was no more than fair that this should have some bearing on the matter, and if this was taken into consideration and an arr engagement was made between MT. ChappeH and the town a precedent would not necessarily be esta blisaed.
 A motion was made stating that if MT. Chappell would agree that his home on Parish Hill would not be

Attorney Kelley did not like this arrangement, as it would seem as if the board was trying to keep down the growth of the town by not allowing people to rent their property and keep it in good condition. After finding that these three children would not be over crowding the school, being more of a help than a hindrance, it was decided that the children would be allowed to go to the school for the balance of the school year. MT. Chappell stated that he considered himself a resident of the town of Windham and voted here
 Sylvester Palechatz appeared before the board with the intention of pur- chasing the route of Mir. Smith, who now transports children to school The board was of the opinion that as MT. Smith had made the contract and was willing to carry it through the route should not be sold. The matter was left to the transportation committee with power
