SCHOOL
TO Be ABAN DON Ed
The Sixteen Pupils There to Be
Transported to the Barnes
School on North Steret-SOme
designations Accepted at
Meeting of Board

Plans for abandoning the Thayer
school during the coming year. and
bringing the pupils of that school into
the city, probably to the Lawrence
Barnes school, for instruction, We're
discussed Friday night at the regular
meeting of the board of school COM
missioners held in the high school
building. There were only 16 pupils
in the Thayer school last year and
no prospects of any more this coming
year.
Two teachers have been employed in
the Thayer school in the past, but the
school board does not feel that it pays
to keep two teachers for 1S pupils, and
it is thought, also, that il would be bet
ter for the pupils to transport them
into the city. where they would be with
more of the young folks, catch the en-
thusiasm of school life and get into
competition with other pupils. Any
how. 1t has been practically decided
that the Thayer school will not be kept
open during the coming year in it's
present status. The proposition Of keep
ing the school open with only one teach
er in charge has been considered. but
the plan of transporting the pupils to
the city appeals to the school board
as the better one.
If it is decided to close the school
and bring the children to the city to
the Lawrence Barnes school. the best
of transportation will be afforded. A
conveyance probably will be provided
in which the children can all ride at
once. under the care of competent
teacher, who will look after them all
the time. If the school is closed, the
two teachers who have been there will
be transferred to some other school
in the city.
Several designations were accepted at
the meeting Friday. among them
the resignation of Miss Vesta d. Bige-
low, principal of the Ira Allen school.
who will be in Glendale, Cal, next year;
Mrs. Alice F. Keech. teacher of read
ing. literature and history in the Junior
high school, who has gone with her
family to Bristol, Conn; and Miss
Kathryne Sturtevant. teacher of Span
ish and French at the high school. Can
didates already are being considered
for some of these positions.
1t was voted to let the job of paper
ing the cottage at the Ira Allen school.
provided that the cost of the job does
not exceed s45. 1t also was voted that
the job of constructing a walk on the
street in front of the Ira Allen school
be let to the lowest bidder, and another
vote was carried to redecorate the In
terror of the commissioners room In
the high school building.
Miss Bessie Crosby has been chosen
az school nurse for the coming school
year, and has accepted the position.
| Plans were made for taking the
school census before the 10th of Au-
gust, the date when 1t must be COM
pleted according to law. Estimates of
repairs on several of the school build
| ings were discussed.
Bills amounting to $S91,5O were ap-
proved and payment ordered.

CHOCOLATE STRIKE OVER
Girls Go Back Voluntarily under Two,
and Half Cent per Carton Rate !

and Half Cent per Carton Rate
The strike at the Vermont Milk Choco-
late company has been terminated Some |
100 girls voluntarily returned to work
yesterday morning in a body and the
services of approximately 60 of them werel
at once enlisted by the officials of thej
concern to return to their old work soft
wrapping chocolate bars at the rate of
two and one-half cents per carton, which,
price will remain in effect until Septem-'
Der l. 80.
1t was not possible yesterday. or will It.;
be for some time. to accept all the girls
who went out strike, so one Of thei
officials informed the Free Press yester-
day. because of the fact that tho con-
Germ has shifted its manufacturing pro-,
gram. owing to the strike. to the max
ing of such chocolate products as reQuireI
little or no wrapping. Many of the work :!
ers' places have been filled by employees
from other parts Of the factory and until
such time as the concern shifts back to-
the manufacturing of chocolate bars the
old employees cannot return to work for
there is nothing for them to do. Tho con.
Germ intends, however, to take back all
of its old employees as soon as conditions
warrant -
The return of the girls to work. so the
company states, was purely matter of
personal choice on the part of the atrix-
ers, for the company has not gone aftsr
them, made any offers to them or sub.
mitted the case to arbitration. The con-
Germ does not recognize the union, while
it admits there is one, and the union
organiser and local officials made no
agreement with the concern over the pro-
posed return. The company's price win
remain until September l. at which time
the officials may make a change, that |
day being the time limit set by President
John Walker for the advanced summer
scale in the wrapping department. -.

Eyes, sir
On cross examination by Atty, Gen.
Archibald, Michael testified that DOM
inic was striking at him with his knife
all the way up Hickok street. Michael
also said that he saw Dominic's wife
when she left their house some dis
lance up the street and came toward
the two men. The attorney-genera
made much of this statement in the
summary 70 the case claiming that this
was manifestly impossible, with the
lights situated as they were. Michael
was closely questioned as to why he
ran away after he had struck Dominic
and as to why and where he tore his
clothes The witness was not clear on
these points and said that he was crazy
after striking Dominic and could not
remember Just what did happen He
did not remember where he went when
he ran away did not recollect being
arrested and did not realize until the
following morning that he was really
in jail. He also claimed that the story
told at the inquest about a stranger
who killed Dominic was told while
his head was not quite clear and said
that he had not intended to tell a
falsehood
1t was the contention of the State all
through the case that the blow which
killed Dominic must have been struck
from behind to have made the wound
in the body which it did. but no evil
dence was introduced to show that
the blow came from behind.
When questioned about the shears
which he used in striking the blow
which killed Dominic Aruzza, Michael
stated that he had taken them from
his child, boy six years old, accord
ing to his testimony, while they were
at the home Of Joseph Denovo, the
boys grandfather. At that time, Mi
chael said that he had put the shears
in his pocket lest the little fellow get
hold of them again and harm himself.

URGES BETTER

Commissioner Kendall Says
Districts Should Consider Item
Before Submitting Budget
pu Snscinl Corre,nondenl.

By Special Corres9ondent
TRENTON, Feb. 6.-BecauSe at
this time the district clerks, secretar-
les and local boards of education of
the state are preparing their budgets
for submission to the voters at the an
nual district meeting, Commissioner of
Education Calvin N. Kendall today adj
dressed a letter to these persons and
through them to the voters on the i'm
portant subject of increased compen-
sation for the teachers of the state.
DIR. Kendall emphasized the fact
that the former attitude about teach
ers' salaries must be changed and
larger salaries must be paid to the
teachers than the state has been in
the habit of paying. If this is not
done,< asserted the commissioner,
young will seek other fields of
employment than teaching. AS a mat
ter of fact. he continued. they are al
ready doing so.
There were last year 4S6 teachers in
the state who received n salary of less
than $500 a year., and DR.. Kendall as
serted in his letter that this was ass
too many.
DIR. Kendall also urged the CONSOLE
dalton of schools, adequate supplies,
repair of school buildings. and where
needed, new furniture and decent out
houses, which, he declared, should be
provided for at the March meetings of
the district boards OF education
throughout the state.
