SCHOOL WILL
 REOPEN ON
 SEPTEMBER 6

Superintendent of School Samuel J. Slawson last night outlined next years program for the public schools of Bridgeport The fall session will be resumed September 6, and the regis tration of pupils September T. The term will cover a period of 42 weeks. although he estimated there would be but 19O school days.
 Superintendent Slawson announced the plan at the meeting of the Board of Education after Howard S. Chal- lenger had spoken in favor of eIn- ploying normal school graduates to favored local graduates in preference to out-of-town teachers.
 Contracts for the construction of an addition to the Black Rock school were awarded to a local firm The board last night made the award to T. J. O'Brien & Sons, of this city. Their bid was S59, ,542 for the con struction of six rooms and an assem- ply hall.
 The O'Brien concern was awarded the contract despite the fact their price was S20O more than the lowest bidder, M. J. Gibbert, of New Haven. The sentiment of the board was in favor of keeping the contract in Bridgeport, thereby supplying work for at least a portion of the thousands of unemployed.
 Other bids included M J. Gibbert, s59,34O; Michael Noonan, s60,869; Agostino & Cenimo, $61,559; Schwartz Bros, $63,300; Casey & Hurley, S63. .965; Wm. Martin G Sons, Inc, S64955; Jackson & Green, S66,115; Standard Construction Co.,, $66,6S9.

Lives of Trees.

The New York Sun tells of tree
said to be living in Mexico that Is
5000 years old. 1t is described as
cypress 36 feet in diameter, but as
no scientific record of Its existence has
been made doubt is justifiable. But
there really are baobab trees In Africa
credited with 1000 years, and the big
sequoias In California are given an
age approximately 5000 years. Yews
IN England are believed to be Of equal
age, with many oaks and elms known
to be 800 years old.

this year we had a popcorn party.
Teacher and pupils brought butter,
eprn, peppers, salt, and nearly so
participated and dcvoured over three
large, hcaping pans of dishpans of
corn. And then, in the ciphering-
down contest, Lillian Prahl ciphered
down the entire school. Our next
party will be visit to oneof the
nearby schools, also in district 8.
Our visitors thus far this year are
as follows: County Superintendent
Wasenius, Miss Lundblad and pupils
of the south school, c. M. Serrurier,
Miss Connors, Mrs. c. R. Rosen, Deb
liza Rosen, Esther Meyers and our two
school board members, earle Diebert
and VIM. Hoeft. Our chairman, Mr..
Sicbert, gave very interesting and
instructive talk to the pupils as to
the essentials of good behavior, the
value of an education. No complaints
had been entered either by parents or
teacher, and on the whole our work
went on harmoniously, which was
thoroughly enjoyed by both pupils and
teacher, and we say to the board,
"Come again." and here's a hearty
welcome to all of the parents who arc
so kind to US. !

High School News Budget.

The cooking girls are always good
Samaritans nowadays. They always
find hungry wayfarers and feed them
something good to eat.
Last Thursday evening the seniors
had their sleighride party. A great
number of sophomores and juniors
were invited to join in the fun and
there were about thirty present. We
started from the high school at an
early hour, drove about four and
half miles and, after having a good
time, returned to the school, where we
were served a wonderful lunch. We
all left for home wishing that seniors
would have sleigh rides more often.
Miss Allen, the seniors class advisor,
Miss Daniels and Miss Hanson were
also present.
The Princeton basketball boys and
girls defeated Anoka basket ball boys
and girls in the Princeton auditorium,
Friday, February II. The girls won

ing sad time. Locus, the location

could explain the whole period but it
wouldn't do much good. He is a very

There is many a sad face since the

were planning sleigh rides for the

Many woman's back has many

That's why Doan's Kidney Pills are
so effective.
Many Princeton women know this.
Read what one has to say about it:
Mrs. Nels Olson says: II began
having a great deal of bother with my
kidneys. My kidneys acted irregularly
and l had bladder complaint. My
back was awfully painful, especially
after l had been walking or when l
lifted anything. When I sat down a
few minutes, my back became 80 stiff
l could hardly get up again. My
limbs throbbed with pain and l felt
tired and weak. At times everything
would whirl before my eyes when 1
got up from chair. Doan's Kidney
Pills, which I got from the Princeton
Drug Co., soon put me in good health,
and whenever have felt the trouble
coming on since Doan's have given me
quick relief"
