DR. DALTON TELLS
 OF SOLDIERS LIFE
SmaIIey School Parents and Teach CTS Association Addressed By
 Returned Officer.

At the meeting of the Smalley school Parents and Teachers asso- ciation, which was held, last even ing, Dr. George H. Dalton gave an address on the subject of The Sol dier, AS Private.' He dwelt little upon his own experiences overseas, although he had been missioned a captaincy, and has been stationed at hospitals in Chaumont, Orleans, and Paris, and was at Paris during the air raids. At these hospitals he has been treating the wounded sol diers, and has been doing reconstruc- ton work.
 In his speech before the Parents and Teachers association, he told of the life of the soldier, from the time he sailed for overseas, until the time of his return home. He described the medical treatment the soldier re- ceived when wounded, and of how he was taken from the front lines to the field hospital, and from there to the base hospital, in the rear.
 Following the talk, Miss Mae B. Swarsky sang and David Duryea gave some violin selections accompanied by Isadore Rosenberg.

DYNAMITERS TRY TO
 WRECK TROLLEY CARS
One Passenger Slightly Hurt During Morning Trouble in Lawrence;
 Tickets PeaceabIe.

Lawrence, Mass, May S.-A crowd- ed trolley car of the Massachusetts, Northeastern Street Railway company bound for Haverhill was damaged early today by an explosive which had been placed on the rails in Jackson street, Methuen, a short distance from this city. One passenger was slightly injured.
 The explosion occurred in a sparse& ly settled section. Two cars bringing mill workers to this city were due at about the same time as the Haverhin car, and the police believe the dyna- miters intended to wreck these cars.
 Many pickets were on duty today about the textile plants in this city against which a strike has been in progress for more than three months, but they gave the police little trouble.
 Mill officials said that an increasing number of operatives was reporting for work each day.

MANY STUDY PROFESSIONS
Disabled Soldiers Not Coniii'co 10 Manual Trades in Free k'-co's4a- GOn, 1t Is AnnOunccd

Washington. May S.-There seems to be a general impression that Voca- tional education means manual trade. and a good many dISaoled SOL diers have at first rejected the Idea of taking the training available to them through the Federal Board for Noca- tional Education on that account. Such is by no means the case, and the list of men already in training shows a considerab ble portion of the number to be pursuing strictly pro- fessional courses.
 For instance, there are 24 studying architecture; 50 taking chemistry; 21, dentistry; 6S, drafting; IFS, engineer ing: two are taking a course in for eien trade; nine are studying journal ism: seven are taking languages; 6l are taking mechanical drawing; eight are studying music; two are qualifying as opticians: 49 are studying law; eight arc qualifying as teachers; four are studying theology; three as Veter- mary surgeons, and eight as wireless operators.

Washington, May S.-Terms of the peace treaty gave a distinct stimulus Gto the Victory Liberty Loan subscrip- tions throughout the country, accord
 ing to early reports today to the Treasury. Loan workers in hundreds
 of communities read portions of the' terms to theater audiences and out of the enthusiasm which followed gath cred many subscriptions to swell the nations total.
 This was Army Day in the loan campaign and canvassing committees took the cue to appeal for pledges on
 behalf of the Army which had done. so much to make the victorious peace terms possible.
 Two reports of subscriptions today sent the nations total above $2,50O-
 000,0O0 and national managers hoped this would reach O,O0O,0O0 by to- night That record would still leave $1,50O o00, 900 to be raised tomorrow

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE
 IS AFTER GAFFNEY
(Continued from First PageO

mills tax which was fostered by the assoication, and it was claimed that the school administration did every thing in their power to have the teachers aid in downing this rate for the 25 mill rate. It was said that be- sides quizzing the teachers, efforts were made to have the children urge their parents to vote for the 25 mills in order to protect the teachers sal aries. These things were character ized as Childish by the executive.
 Supt. Holmes Criticized.
 Superintendent Holmes came in for strong condemnation for his alleged attempts to secure the passage of a bill which would place the local schools under the supervision of the state board of education. The mem bers were unanimous in their disap- proval of the attention given by Su- perintendent Holmes to politics around Hartford for some time past.
 The school administration was also scored for standing back of Principal Fowler of the Elihu Burritt school, who the board members say, issued false reports to the press regarding the recent unpleasantness which fol- lowed a reported meeting at the school, in which MT. Fowler is alleged to have informed the teachers that they must stand back of the adminis- tration and not to tell their parents and friends anything regarding the doings of the administration.
 Refusal Called "Childish"
 The refusal of the school adminis- tration to grant a permit to some of the members of the Parents and Teachers association of the Elihu Burritt school to use a room in the school when protest was to be made against the action of Superintendent Holmes in notifying Miss Julia T. Dunn and Miss Irene Byrne, that they would not be recommended for re- appointment, was characterized as childish.
 School Administration Blamed.
 The executive board placed the cause of the existing trouble directly at the door of the school administra- ton. Their claims were that the ad- ministraton erred in allowing Super tics, and also to allow Principal Fow- Ter to 'browbeat'' the teachers under his supervision. The executive com- mttee also claims that the school ad- ministration has fought against the wishes of the people of this city, and have acted unwisely in allowing their i teachers to be ''bossed.'
