THREATENING FIRE
ON PROVIDENCE ST.
Fire Cracker Starts Blaze on
Roof of Julius Lafiamme's
Block At 1O.55
Department Is Handicapped BY Lack
of Ladder Slight Damage
Done -

Atire that for the moment threat
ened to be a serious one broke out on
the roof of the large building at the
corner of Providence and Van den
MORT streets. Monday night. The
blaze is believed to have been started
.by a fire cracker, as boys were setting
off these explosives in the vicinity all
the evening. The alarm was rung In
from Box 35 at 1855 o'clock. The
blaze was extinguished with chemicals
and little damage resulted.
Had there been high wind or had
the fire gained any considerable head
way. the result might have been seri-
Gus. as the building is one of many
wooden structures in close proximity
to each other.
The fire was another evidence OF
the need of hook and ladder truck.
The only ladders available were the
short ones carried on the hose truck
and from the top of one of these a
fireman had to be pushed upon the
roof bv other members Of the depart
ment. Had the fire got a good start
It would have been hard matter to
fight the flames from the ground, as
the building is three-story one.

MONDAYS Program

The Chautauqua programs began
with the lecture of the Putnam super
intendent. DIR. /. Alvadore Downey,
promptly at $50 Monday afternoon.
DR. Downey is student in the field
of pedagogy and his series OF lectures
on child development have been lis
tened to with keen interest. Begin
ming with the assumption that the
child in his development from infancy
to manhood passes through periods
corresponding to the epochs in the de-
velopment Of the race, DIR. Downey
has expanded and shown the signifi-
canoe Of this fact in his four afternoon
lectures.
The McGrath- Batting entertainers
proved enjoyable and their two pro-
grams were well received. Monday
light the lecture by Chancellor George
II. Bradford won extremely favorable
comment. The chancellor was pol
ished orator, of the Bryan type, and
had message Of great value. As
Stunning that a nation TO be great must
be rich in natural resources, strong in
commerce, imbued with true patriot

tice of working the program to a eli
max on the last day, this promises to
be the strongest part of the entire

Goose Party" and the ChautaGqua
clown, Jolly Polly, is scheduled to pro-
duce many a healthy laugh from chill
dren and grown-ups alike. The eve
ming lecture will be given by Hon.
Crawford Vaughan and his subject
is to be "Australia's Industrial Prob
lem-How We Met It," Realizing
that the most progressive steps in the
settlement Of labor difficulties have
been advanced in Australia, this lee
ture should be especially interesting
to those who are studying the labor
situation in America. A special num-
Der not down on the program will be
music by the greatest child violinist
in New York.

Putnam has seen several seasons of
Chautauqua, but this year surpasses
all former years for the real Chautau-

at the business meeting following the
first evenings entertainment all of
the old guarantors, and few more,
signed up for next season and the
contract has been signed and deliver
ed. This has never been done before
in the history of Chautauqua in Put
nam Chautauqua has been easily the
event of the week in Putnam and sur
rounding towns. People come here
and spend the whole week just to at
tend the entertainments. Afternoon
and again in the evening lines of auto
mobiles may be seen coming in from
all directions. Many bring lunches
and do not return after the matinee
performance. The big tent has been
well filled every day.

RAISE OUTSIDE
TUITION FEES
Increased Cost to Maintain
Schools Makes Advance
Necessary
Payments Must Also Be Made In Ad-
vance in Two Payments In Some
Cases

After considering the matter at d
meeting held Monday evening, the
town school board voted unanimously
to increase the tuition of pupils from
other towns coming to Putnam to at
tend school. This action has been
found necessary on account of the in
creased cost of maintenance.
In speaking of the action member
of the school board said: During the
past year it has cost the town of Put
nam 500 to give one child a years
schooling. Next year TIE cost will be
at least sl25 a pupil"
In the past the rate charged has
been sos per pupil at the high school
and $50 per pupil in the graded
schools. These fees have now been
advanced to $50 and $40.
st can be SEEM" said the member
of the board, that even the new adj
vanced rates do not actually cover
what it costs the town for each pupil
per year We are not asking that the
pupils meet the full cost, we are merly
asking that they help to greater de-
gree in meeting the expense of giving
them an education"
1t was also voted that payments by
out of town pupils, where these pay
ments are made by the individual and
not by the towns from which they
come, shall be made more regularly.
The only other exception to this rule
is where children are sent to school by
the county commissioners and the
county pays the tuition. All other pu-
pills will hereafter be required to pay
half of the tuition fee in advance dur
ing the first week of school and the
second half in advance before the ex
piration of the time for which they
have paid refund pro rata will 'be
made.
1t was further voted that no exemp-
tons would be granted pupils coming
here to live temporarily Some pu-
nils come to Putnam during the school
year and live here during the five days
a week school is in session. These pu-
pills coming from other towns will be
required to pay the regular tuition
