ARIINGTON-NORTH DISTRICT
The New School Room Ready

Last Saturday was a great day IN
the North District of Arlington. An
other characteristic North District get
together affair took place at the
school house, and lasted all the long
golden September day. AS soon as
the North District Community Play
had earned the money for the new
teacher for the special class of little
folks. the North District people had an
informal meeting one evening at the
school house and voted to build an adj
dition to house the new class. Every
body volunteered to help, TO such an
extent that the school house addition
has been put up at very small ex-
pense in cash. Mr.. Miles gave the ium-
Der in an old mill of his, which was
quite enough to build the new small
class room; Mr.. lyman gave the win
dows and door, and furnished the bea-
yer board at pre-war prices, and gave
good advice and help out of his long
experience as builder; Mr.. Jarvis
Wyman gave many hours of work with
his team, which in these days of high
prices means considerable saving in
money; and everybody gave work and
interest. The new building was run
up quickly, and finished enough for
the first gathering of the tiny scolars
last Tuesday the 23rd, and those who
saw the arrival of the small pupils,
with shining faces, holding TO the
hands of their big brothers or sisters,
and saw them settled in the pleasant,
sunny little room, like flowers in
green. house. were more than repaid
for the effort which the new building
has meant The new teacher, Miss
Mildred Benedict Of East Dorset has
had much experience with little folks
in classroonls, and knew exactly how
TO make the beginners at home so that
there was not tear or a homcsick
child then or since. But Of course
much remained TO be done. and on the
first Saturday after the children began
their work, the neighborhood gathered
to do as much as possible.

good meal. He told Of what has been
done in other parts of Vermont, and
greatly pleased and heartened the
North District people by saying that
their efforts for their school were
known in many parts of Vermont and
outside of the State as well, many re-
quests for exact information as to
how the North District people have
managed, coming in to the State Com
m;ssioner's Office from inquiries moth
err localities.
Then everyone went to work again,
the new Superintendent putting his
athlete prowess to good use inarrang-
ing the high swing for the children be-
tween the two great trees back of the
school house, and the trapeze and ring
swing inside the play-porch.
To everybody's surprise and delight
the vigorous postmaster of Arlington
arrived to reinforce the shinglers and
was soon driving shingle-nails with
the expertness of an old hand The
Rev. Mr.. Roosevelt, the rector of the
Arlington church arrived and showed
too that he had rlct ahingles before in
his life.
The State Commissioner went off on
the three o'clock train and Mr.. Whit
tier arrived on the same train from
Burlington, to see the end of the day.
He was warmly welcomed by the
North District people who have never
forgotten his helpful and enthusiastic
support of Their earlier efforts to i'm
prove the school.
As the sun sank back Of Red Noun
tain the last photograph of the day
was taken, to show the progress made
during the days work; and as the
workers dispersed they made laugh
ingly one suggestion; that signboard
be placed near the road in front Of the
school house to inform passers-by that
the building is really school house
and not the quaint cosy dwelling house
which il looks, for automobiles going
by, crane their necks to the point Of
pain, staring at the little building, and
are often heard TO exclaim TO each
other, Oh no, il can't be school~

Queer Rumors Before Harvard
Game Have Sequel--Head
Coach Offers to Resign
Fullback Braden in Sore.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, Dee. 17.-f'unny tales
were whispered around in Boston be-
fore the Yale Harvard game.
Some OF the knowing ones said the
Yale players had TO have individual
dressing rooms to prevent a riot.
But the stories of discussion In the
ELS ranks were branded as bear"
stories.
They were bear stories Il devel-
oped. But the bear had real claws.
Buried under an avalanche of criti-
cism, from all sides. Head Coach
Al Sharpe has offered to re-
sign. He limited at a clique between
the Sheffield contingent and the
academy members OF the squad that
had the team pulling at both ends of
the wellknown rope.
Herb Kempton's friends resented the
criticism Of the blonde quarterback for
faulty Judgment in Princeton and Har-
ward games.
They claimed that Kempton called
for Braden to hit tackle when the ball
was on Harvard's five yard line and
that instead of following the signal the
Blue fullhaclS charged into ccntor and
lost the biggest chance TO score.
Braden's friends then Joined in the
feud. The big fullbaclS said they were
all wrong from Coach Sharpe down and
that if they didn't stop making him
the goat OF the affair he would open
up and tell few interesting things.
Meanwhile, Captain Tim Callahan
disappeared and It. was breezed around
the campus that he had gone TO Seat
tie to persuade Tad Coy to return and
take charge Of football
| Sharpe then declared he would be
willing to cancel three years contract
and resign II his regime would be the

classed as stars In defeat as well as
In victory. We'd stick Roger Bresns-
han In the list of those who deserve
the laurel wreath as they fall.

q small fortune Now this money has
been swept away-in trying to help
baseball-and he In starting out to
lay up a new pile for rainy day And
he's starting at 40 years of age.
Bresnahan broke into baseball about
ia years ago as member OF the Lima
club In the Ohio State league. In 1891
the Washington Nationals signed him
las A pitcher. Bresnahan didn't have
enough stuff. though, 80 found himself
with Minneapolis In tho old Western
league two years later
Then he decided to try the other
end Of the battery game and became
a catcher. In his first season behind
the plate he drew the attention of the
big leagues and was signed by Chicago
in 1900. He jumped to the Baltimore
American league club and then In 1902
he followed McGraw's footsteps and
Jumped to the Giants.
In Gotham Bresnahan soon showed
himself to be one OF the greatest catch
ers in the game. In 1909 he broke into
the managerial end as pilot of the
Cards. He held that job until re-
placed by Miller Huggins in 1913, aud
then was signed to boss the Cubs He
failed to shine, though, In Cubville.
The next fans heard of him he had
decided to try to bring baseball out OF
the rut at Toledo, o. He put all his
coin into the club and used his own
personal acquaintance with big men
and his fame az player to try TO put
across popular and winning club in
