BISHOP WILL
 BLESS NEW ST,
 THOMAS SCHOOL

The blessing of the new St. Thomas school in Fairfield by the Rt. Rev. John J. Milan. Bishop of Hartford. tomorrow morning will mark the completion of the new school building and a wonderful achievement for Rev. William J. Blake and the peo- pie of St. Thomas parish who by their splendid generosity made 1t possi- ole for him to erect the first paro- chial school in Fairfield.
 The ceremonies will begin at 10:30 when solemn high mass will be celebrated.
 Rev. F. M. Schwertner o. F., of New York city. will preach the ser mon. Visiting priests from all the parishes in the state are expected to attend the ceremonies. Rev. Valen- tine Faundiaj of the Holy Ghost Or der of Stamford will also attend.
 After the mass a procession will to the new school where Bishop Mi Ian will bless the building.
 The building is two stories high not including the basement and is of throughout. It faces on the rear of the church property. There are two entrances, one for boys and one for girls and Surmounting each entrance is @ cross.
 On the top of the building there is a large cross and stone bearing the inscription St. Thomas Paro- chial school.
 The corner stone was laid last fall and at that time the only newspaper to go into the depository box was The Times.
 Regular school sessions will begin January 30 and four sisters from Hartford are in Fairfield to take charge of the pupils.
 One of the many new departures from the old order is the furnishing of books free, eIs in public school In all, there are eight school rooms, four be- ing complete on the first floor of the of the month. The building is ven tilated by an automatic ventilating system and has the latest heating plant. The two boilers in the base ment of the building are enclosed in metal jacket, doing away with the asbestos covering.
 The stairways and the halls are of brick construction and are fireproof. an iron railing is on each side of the stairway. In the basement there are several spare rooms, two of which are to be equipped as play rooms. There cles.
 At the end of each corridor are the toilets and the ones on the top floor are to be finished later. There are The building has electric lights throughout and each room has four drop lights. Another new idea used by Father Blake was the installing of an electric plug in the floor near each teachers desk in case the sister de- sired to have a desk lamp.
 The rooms are light and airy. Three rooms have 4S individual seats and one has 54. The seats may be adjusted to suit the needs of the pu- pill. They have four big windows that open out instead of up and down. This prevents a draught from blow ing directly. The rooms are easily heated. White is the predominating color. In each room there is a cru cifiX. In the rear of each room there is a wardrobe with two doors. one for entering and one for leaving. Each one is equipped with lights, coat hangers and an umbrella rack with a copper runway. doing away with the floor.

glasses was Miss Marianne Davies, a relative of Franklin who created a sensation in England and, with her sister, Cecilia. vocalist of some fame, took the Continental public by storm. Other skilled players follow ed and the harmonica appeared in concert in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and in many private the eighteenth century Improvements were made in the instrument, eX- tending its range beyond the three octaves of Franklin's model and fa- ciitating performance by the use of a fddle+bow instead of the bare f1n- gers.
 Jefferson Praised It.
 Thomas Jefferson heard the har- monica in Paris and expressed the opinion that it's success would be the greatest present which has been made to the musical world this cen tury> not excepting the pianoforte." The instrument became a part of some of the leading orchestr in Europe, Johann Gottlieb Naumann, a noted composer of the eighteenth atas for it. Mozart composed several pieces for 1t, and even Beethoven give 1t his attention in a short melodra- matfc selection. Yet. despite these instrument fell into disuse before 1S40. One reason assigned for it's passing is that it's sweetness tended to cloy. Another is that 1t failed to se- cure an easfly-manipulated keyboard ike the modern piano. However that may be, the harmonica stands as a symbol of FrankMn's many-sided genius and the artistic bent of his sch olar1y mind. Even more, it ex- emplifies that characteristic of his nature which impelled hdm not only to seek knowledge with avidity but to put his knowledge in a form to help others. His early ,hardships and life experiences he turned to the service of his fellowmen in his books. The delight and relaxation he derived from music he repaid by his musical invention.
