Seminary held its annual exhibition
Wednesday night in Deering chapel.
The program consisted in delightful
series of readings by juniors in the de-
partment of oratory who have been
carefully trained for this work by
Miss Daisy Stevens of the faculty, a
graduate of the Curry School of Ex-
preston. Students of the Kent's Hill
Conservatory of Music contributed the
musical humble. 5 making a very at
tractive program. This is the last
event of the winter term as school
closes Thursday at noon.
| 1t was G. Stanley Hall, the leading
authority on youth, who said, 1T is
wonderful to note the growth of boys
and girls into manhood and woman
hood as they come in contact with the
literary inheritance of the race
through an intensive study Of these
masterpieces in elocution classes in
our seminaries" The thoughtful in
depreciation of the selections used for
| Wednesday nights program shows
! how well the performers have learned
to appreciate. 1t is undoubtedly this
understanding Of the thought in their
readings that made possible the fin
ished performance of the evening.
The school orchestra played while
the company was gathering and again
at intermission. The program proper
opened with a colonial piece entitled,
1.-THE Governors Last Levee'' read by
Frances Quincy of Allston, Mass. A
semi comic selection followed this,

double number from Kipling's works,
1.-THE Post That Fitted" and "My
Rival" This was followed by a stir

of early American history narrating
1.-THE Death of Nathan Hale" George
Marshall of Jay who read this selec-
ton was lately chosen for the Lyford
contest and was a member Of the de-
batting team.
Following a short intermission
virile appeal to young manhood in
THE Man for the Crisis" was read by
Peter Landry Of Fairfield. Miss Caro-
line Houston of Portland rendered a
beautiful vocal solo at this point from
"a composition by Handel, "Ah mic
cot" Her charming voice led her
audience very gracefully to the next
number. 1.-THE Soul of the Violin" a
beautiful selection full of the pathos so
wonderfully brought out by the violin
itself In an entirely different strain
was the strong dramatic number by
Annie Gregory of Franklin, Mass, en-
titled 1.-THE Lie" This was followed
by a violin solo, Handicapped" by

troll Says DR.. j. T. Black.

DIR. John T. Black, secretary of
the state board of health has am
nounced that he had made a per-
soRal Investigation of the smallpox
situation in Newtown and emphatical-
ly denied reports that certain resi-
dents of the town were suffering from
He said reports showed that there
were no known cases of tetanus in
Newtown which reported five more
cases of smallpox yesterday, bringing
the total in that town to 10 cases.
The persons reported to be suf-
fering from tetanas in Newtown,"
said DR.. Black, were suffering from
smallpox before they were Vaccinated.
Vaccination in their cases was too late
to have any effect. They are now
suffering from straight smallpox"
DIR. Black. in speaking of the sit
aation about the state said that al
though the rapid progress of the cpl
dsmic had been checked it was by
no means under control. The origi-
nal case of the epidemic and more
than two-thirds of the subsequent
cases have occurred in the city of
Waterbury. For years it has been the
Connecticut stronghold of anti vaccina-
tionists and at the time of the OUT
break of smallpox last June only 45
per cent of it's population was vac
cinated; the doctor pointed out. Some
25, 900 people have recently been vac
cinated in Waterbury and $4,000 re-
main unvaccinated.
TT is interesting to note" he said
Dr.. Black, that Bridgeport, New
Haven and Hartford, cities of 10000
to 10000 population. and Blu thirty
to thirty-two miles from Waterbury,
which escaped, except for Hartford,
which had had one case. In these
cities vaccination has been required
% nenterfng school. OF nearly 400
cases reported a little over three per
cent. have been previously vaccinated.
More than so school children i'm Wa
terbury had smallpox before Jan. 1,
when vaccination become compulsory
there. Not one had the disease since
although many adults continue to
been vaccinated in Waterbury alone
contract it. Twenty-Five thousand have
without fatality. Records have been
kept of several thousand vaccinations
of factory employees, where vaccina-
tons were done under the supervision
of factory physfcions- These show less
than two per cent. losing time because
of vaccinations. The longest disabl-
and the average loss of time per vac
cination was less than one hour each.
The Waterbury health department
has already spent $4,000. The citizens
of Waterbury have been required to
spend fully as much because of the
time to those affected, Waterbury has
suffered to the extent of over $I00, 900.
It is estimated that the loss OCCASION
ed by the appearance of the colored
girl from North Carolina last June in
an unvaccinated city, will cost the
people of Connecticut not less than
quarter of million dollars and an un-
colored girl did not come to the at
tention of the Waterbury authorities
until one of the IL she had infected
was reported.

Shortly after the break in relations

German authorities in Belgium invit-
