 Miss Grace E. Harwood of this borough, who is in charge of the commercial department of the Rock vile high school, is receiving much commendation in the newspapers for her work. The following clipping is one of several. "The Rockville high school has been noted for some years for it's commercial department. which ranks as high as any in the state, largely through the efforts of Miss HarWood, who has been in charge of this department. There has been a great demand from the large insurance companies in Hartford for mum Der of years for the Rockville graduates, and many graduates of the Rockville school are employed by these com panies. There has been an unusual demand this year from Hartford for the Rockville graduates, as result of lack of help in many department and Is members of the class have left school already, and are now employed in Hartford, although they will be given full credit for their time while out of school. This arrangement has been allowed as result of the un- usual conditions existing this year. '
 At the meeting in the Business Mems club. held Saturday night in the interest of the Liberty Loan, Messrs. Merrill, Wheeler and Carter of Hartford who represented the Liberty Loan committee of New England spoke The speakers dwelt on the vital importance of the loan and pointed ont that at this time it was the patriotic duty of citizens to meet this loan with subscriptions. MT. Garter went to the Comique theatre and gave a ten-minute talk in between the films. The speakers emphasized the point that it was more desirable to have large number of small sub scriptions than to have few large ones and also said that people by denying themselves a few luxuries could soon save enough money to buy a bond of small denomination. It is very important that the bonds should be taken by the people instead of having the financial condition of the country much disturbed by the banks using their available funds in pur. chasing the bonds. At the end of the speeches committee of thirty three business men was elected with Christopher Allen as chairman. They intend to make systematic canvas of the town and hope to sell a large number of bonds. Another meeting Il
