DANIELSON

John M. Lewis of the Lewis-Brown theater circuit, operating a chain of the aters in southern New England, one of these houses the Orpheum theater at Danielson, has taken the lease for per iod of ten years of new theater to be erected in Holyoke where at present he has one theater-the Strand.
 A location for the new theater has been acquired in the very heart of Hol- yoke and it will be built and made ready for occupancy by fall. The new house, it is stated. will have as fine an equipment as any picture theater in New England and will be far ahead of any in Holyoke. The cost of the house is to be in excess of s250,00o and it viii have seating capacity for 1900 people on the ground floor. There will not be any balcony.
 The present Strand theater which the Lewis Brown circuit is operating in Hol- yoke is to be torn down. This house was taken over by the Lewis-Brown cir cult a few months ago and the manage ment has proved so successful that it is necessary many times each month to turn away patrons after the house has been sold out for entertainments. l The new Strand, having a larger seat | ing capacity will make it possible to | care for the business that is being at i tracted, Mir. Lewis stated here Monday 1 It is understood that the rent of the new theater will be in excess of $15.00C i a year, but how much has not been

PUTNAM

Principal Henry. k. TirreH. of Norwich Free Academy, a member of the state board of education, will be the speaker at the commencement exercises of Put nam High School. to be held in the thea ter. Thursday. June r.
 This year, for the first time in many years. there will not be more than a modified form of graduating exercises for pupils of the eighth grade in this city. The high cost of wearing apparel is one reason that is advanced for abandoning the formal graduation pro- gramue, but there are other and inn portant reasons for making the gradu- ation of these young people less elab- crate than has been the rule for some years past.
 It was pointed out Monday, by one inti- mately connected with the administra- trion of the school system of the town, that a cost of at least s35 per pupil would be imposed upon the parents of the young people who are about to finish their elementary school work. This cost with liberal parents, might easily mount to $50. per pupil. considering the present high cost of dresses and suits and shoes and all of the other things that graduates are expected to have. Such an expense would be tryingly burdensome to the parents of some of the pupils in the eighth grade graduating classes.
  | Another point that school authoritie: here make is that accentuating the i'm. portance of the completion of eighth grade work tends to mark this period ir education as a natural dropping ou place for many pupils who, if less i'm portance were attached to their gramma l school graduation, might be permitted 1 or inspired to go on with their studie l and complete a high school course.
 The greatest reason of all, however, fo abandoning graduation programmes fo
 the eighth grade pupils as they hay
 been carried out here in the past is tha
 preparations for such annual event break in for weeks before hand on tn
 regular routine of the school. It seem
 to be the feeling among the school au i thorities that the time spent for week | by eighth grade pupils in preparing fo l graduation should be devoted to the l regular routine of uninterrupted stud l preparatory to the undertaking of tn high school work.
