FARMERS CHANGE TELEPHONE
NUMBERS g
Moving to New Locations March First
the Cause Of Many Changes in
Telephone Numbers -.

Through the courtesy of the Craw.
ford County Telephone Go. we are able
to present the new numbers given
farmers who have changed their places
of residence since March first. For
the benefit of the readers the old
number is given as well as the new
one: also the present address is given.
The telephone has proved one Of the
modern conveniences of rural life in
this country; it serves to bring farm
ers nearer together, and the isolation
of a few years ago has been forgotten.
Many of the soldier boys returning
from France tell of the common ten
dency in France for the farmers to
build their homes close together in
compact villages. That gives the So
cial minded French pleasant COM
munity life. The women in particular
enjoy the intimate life of the village,
and avoid the common isolation prac-
ticed by the American farmer of a
few years back.
This idea of organizing rural COM
munity has been much less common IN
this country. The majority OF the
farmers settle on their own soil at con-
siderable distance from community
centers. He wants to live as near his
land as possible. He wants his stock
sheltered near his home, Whatever
isolation there may be in this method,
has been done away, by the installa-
ton of the telephone, and the use Of
the automobile The telephone has
come to be one of the actual necessl-
ties of farm life; it has saved the farm.
ers many times. the yearly cost; and

RETIRE AS COLLEGE HEAD

After a service of 20 years with
Rockford college, Rockford, Ill, II
years of which have been spent as its
president, Miss Julia Henrietta Guilt

tive service next June at the close of
the commencement exercises. Miss
CULVER will then become president
emerita, in recognition of her long and
brilliant career as professor and pres
ident of the women's college. 1t is al
most certain that the trustees will Sc
lect man to succeed Miss CULVER,
thus departing from the traditional
Rockford way; which has been to keep
a woman at the head of the college
ever since its organization in 1847.
A conspicuously brilliant and nota-
bly, prosperous college period is en-
closed within the termini of Miss Gull
liver's presidency, October 1902 and
June, 1919-the student enrolment
steadily increasing, the equipment in
number of buildings and facilities for
student work largely augmented, the
standing among the educational insti-
tutions of the country substantially
strengthened. The completion of John
Barnes hall and a largely increased en-
dowment are on the material side OF
! the college work, two notable achieve
ments of Miss Gullivers presidency.
! Miss Gulljver is the seventh presi-
dent of the college which had its mi

degree of LII. D. She became head o

nearly to capacity when the Girls Glee
club of the Norwich Free Academy

REGRET PERSONAL ABUSE
DIRECTED AT MORRISON

Resolutions passed at a meeting in
Hartford this week of the Connecticut
State School superintendent associ-
alton, of which E. J. Graham of this
city is president were made public
Friday. They refer to the criticism Of
Mr.. Morrison, assistant secretary of
the state board of education, and are
as follows:
Resolved: That this association
disapproves of the campaign Of per
sonal abuse which has been directed
against Mr.. Morrison, assistant sec
rotary of the state board of educa-
ton.
That, in the opinion of this associ-
alton the established and generally
recognized organizations of teachers
in this state have not been party to
this campaign.
That, inasmuch as Mr.. Morrison has
come to this state with d record of
successful accomplishment in the
schools of New Hampshire, and with
reputation among educators as a
successful administrator, it would be
misfortune if his work in Connecti-
cut were to be handicapped or made
impossible by the feeling engendered
in the recent discussion of the So
called Morrison code.

SETBACK FOR SPRING In NORWICH

Along with the rain and snow came
high winds and drop in temperA IRE,
that gave the most realistic touch of
winter weather for the last four
months. By Friday night there. were
two or three inches of snow in places
where the wind allowed it to lie level,
although many sidewalks were swept
bare, disclosing a slippery surface OF
frozen sleet underneath while good
and sheltered spots.
Trolley cars were off schedule pref

If there is anything in the belief that
the last Friday in the month is the
calendar day for the next, we are in
for lovely April
Hopes of an early spring that had
seemed SO well underway were given a
setback from which they will not soon
recover, because of visitation of real
New England weather, the kind that
Mark Twain said was unequalled be-
cause of its wonderful variety. Begin
ming with a drizzling rain that started
about o'clock Thursday evening and
grew to a driving storm about 2 o'clock
Friday morning, continuing through
the morning, the weather shifted to
sleet and then to snow shortly after
noon Friday and kept showing stead
lily until far into the night.
