 The bills for tuition of pupils at- tending the Stafford high school from other towns have been sent out. The town will receive over $500. Nearby towns are beginning to realize the advantages of sending pupils to this school. Besides the we'll arranged academic and general courses it has one of the best commercial courses of any high school in the state. The actual business training given here fits pupils for office work, and graduates of this department readily find posi- tions. Several of this years class had positions waiting for them when they were graduated. The school is on the list of approved schools whose gradu- ates may enter most of the New Eng land colleges without examination. The standard of the school isgradually being raised. Stafford boys and girls are fortunate in having so good an institution right at home.
 John Hoyostek of Village Hill was before the borough court Friday charged on the complaint of his wife of beating her brutally. It seems from the testimony rendered. by his wife and daughter that Hoyostek had been not only drunk for some time, but he had also joined the brother, hood of the sons of rest and made his wife and daughter work the farm while he attacked rum. As result of this the workers went on mutiny and told him that it was about time for him to do little work. He be- came enragsd at this and picked up al chair and struck his wife, cutting her quite severely across the temple. She then started for the Springs and entered the complaint through M. D. O'Connell. Deputy Judge Taft heard the case and sent the man to Holland for thirty days. This is the third case of the kind. that has been in the local court in the past six: months. Some of the men in this section seem to hold to the opinion that their wives| and children are to be used as cattle and they are the overlords. of their lives and bodies and act accordingly
