Towns Loss in Supervisor Youne's Departure.
 (Contributed)

John A. Young. until recently Col chester's School Supervisor, has taken up his new duties at Westport, as principal; and as superintendent of schools. MT. Young, during the five years of his residence here, has been supervisor, also of the schools in Heb ron. and in Salem and. during part of this time. of South Coventry, Boz rah. and Marlborough.
 Shortly after MT. Young took up his work in town, the Home and School League came into existence at his suggestion, in order that there might be closer cooperation between par ents and teachers. This aim has been realized in large measure; and all have felt great interest in the programmes prepared from time to time.
 Friday night, February 8, MT. Young and family were guests of honor at an entertainment given in Tip Top hall by the Home and School League An illustrated lecture was given. at that time by the expert orithologist Herbert K. Job. of West Haven. The proceeds of this entertainment were given to the local Red Cross Associa- ton, in the names of Mr. and Mrs Young, and their daughter Marjorie The reels used by, Mir. Job for the HOtIOn HlcLuFSSs are dil lIOtn ptCIuTes which he himself has photographed;
 and are of more than ordinary inter est. Mir. Job represents the depart
 ment of applied ornithology in the National Audubon Society, and has charge of the Experiment Station al Amston where he spent last summer;
 and where he plans to be this coming 1 summer. He will be in charge of { l three weeks Summer School session
 during a art of June and closing abou | July z.
 | One reel showed pictures of some of the work done at the Experimen l Station at Amston this last year anc were exhibited for the first time. 1 Following the entertainment, th' teachers and 9. few friends including
 members of the School Board, gather | ed in the Academy Assembly Hall

Home and School League presented

Home and School League. presented MT. Young a copy of Mir Jobs book. 'fWild Wings" from the teachers of Hebron and Colchester, with these words: Just as the birds; about whom we have been hearing come and go, and delight us with their pre- sence for a time.-then leave us to make a home elsewhere, leaving joy and gladness on our part. If we must say Good By to our honored Super visor, Mir. Young, and to his family. = as they leave us for a new abiding place, in what more appropriate way could we speed them on their. journey than by presenting them MT. Jobs "Wild Wings? May your flight be safely made, and may you find as many friends among your teachers, and in the town, as you are leaving behind you in Colchester!
 At the same time. Mrs. Young was given some beautiful pink roses, hand ed to. her by Miss Curtiss another
 teacher.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Young expressed their appreciation of the gifts; and MT. Young especially mentioned the help the teachers had given him through their willingness to work with him in carrying out plans for the ad-
 vancement of the schools. He spoke of the new piano bought last year. as representing, probably, the largest Undertaking carried through by the league.
 Not only the schools, but the town interests lose much in MT. Young's
 decision to leave his work here. Both
 MT. and Mrs. Young have shown, con tinually, a real interest ip all public matters, where they could be of ser vice.; and have been loyal supporters, also, of the Congregational church, I which they attended.
