Lines to Be Remembered,

A gentleman puts words into deed,
and suits what he says to the deed.
He is broad and fair. The vulgar are
biased and petty. A gentleman con-
siders what is right The vulgar man
considers what will pay. A gentleman
wishes to be slow to speak and quick
to act. He helps the needy; he does
not swell riches.-Confucius

gums TO designate
the tribe living near Blue Hill in Mil.
ton now state reservation near
Boston and the highest hill in the
eastern part of the state. This name
was later applied to the great bay
which Blue Hill overlooks. 1t was
from this bay that the state was
called the Massachusetts Bay colony,
and after that the Province of Massa-
chusetts Bay until the Revolution
made it commonwealth. Even today
it is often called the Bay state.
1t was Capt. John Smith who first
made map of the New England
coast and named the Charles river in
honor of Baby Charles" who after
ward became King Charles I. Other
captains visited the coast from time to
time, but it was not until the fall of
1920 that the Mayfiower brought the
first permanent settlers to the Massa-
chusetts shore. The landing of the
Pilgrims at Provincetown and Ply
mouth three hundred years ago was
recently celebrated. OF the original one
hundred passengers on the Mayflower
more than half died during the first
winter, But the sturdy survivors,
with indomitable courage, soon be-
came firmly established and from
their beginning, augmented by the
Puritan settlements of Salem and the
towns around Boston, grew the state
of Massachusetts, which now extends
over S,2SS square miles. In proper
ton to its area Massachusetts is Sec
ond only to Rhode Island in popula-
ton and has eighteen presidential
electoral votes. This makes Massa-
chusetts one of the six most important
states from a political point of view.

an OffshOOt from
Massachusetts, for in 1886 there was
dissatisfaction over the form of gov
eminent among the Puritans in Cam
bridge, Waterfowl and Dorchester,
the three towns surrounding Boston.
A large part of these three towns,
therefore, decided to journey to the
Connecticut valley, as they had heard
that there was to be found excellent
farm land, and the Dutch from New
Netherlands had been forced out the
previous year by the erection by the
English of a fort at SaybroOk at the
mouth of the river. The Cambridge
people, under the leadership of their
pastor, Hooker, founded Hartford, the
Dorchester people settled Windsor,
and those from Waterfowl established
Wethersfeld For a few years they re-
manned a part of Massachusetts, but
early in 1859 the people of these three
towns met and drew up a written con-
Stitution and agreed to govern them
selves. Meanwhile, in 1888, a large
company of cOlonists under the leader
ship of John Davenport arrived from
England and settled the town of New
Haven, later spreading to Milford and
Stamford These two distinct colonies
were later united and took the name
of Connecticut from its principal river

known as the Nutmeg state

its peddlers were accustomed to palm
off wooden nutmegs to their Gus
toners. The area of Connecticut is
