FAIRFIELD

The schools of Fairfield have been put in readiness for the opening on Sept. 6. The teaching staff has been added to considerably, and the rooms have been repainted and remodeled in many cases. Work has been going on all summer on the fixing of the schools. The basements of many schools have been changed, and a1- tered, to allow class rooms to be con- structed in them, and changes have been made in every way which will add in giving more room Tor class rooms.
 The only thing that is now lacking in the Fairfield schools is room. Along with all the other titles and towns in this section Fairfield is having great difficulty in finding room for all those who desire an education. While the situation was somewhat like this last year it did not assume such pro- portions.
 At a recent meeting in the town hall a woman took the initiative anc asked that S160,000 be appropriated for the purpose of building an addi- tion to the old High school. The grammar school children are also housed in the High school but it is thought that they will soon be moved to another place.
 The charitable work in Fairfield is progressing very rapidly under the supervision of Miss Elene Porter who has taken charge of the society in the town. Miss Porter has been looking after the needy families in Fairfield and has spread comfort throughout many homes this summer.
 ., The Fairfield Tigers who have had a football team for the past few sea- sons have issued call to all their former players and all those who wish to play with them. The Tigers had a very formidable eleven last season and while they lost a few of their games. to some of the more experi- enced teams, they made a very fine showing during the last part of the year.
 The beach is beginnig to be mem ory in the minds of some; for the reg u1ar crowds which are seen at the beach throughout the summer have disappeared. and it will be very short time before the pavilions hang up the sign close their doors for the summer. The usual crowds were not present at the beach this season and as a result the pavilion managers suffered.
 While the crowds at the paviIions have been small except on certain oc- casions, the number of people win 0 rented cottages has increased greatly. | These people will be leaving very soon, but 8 great number of them | have signified their intention of re- turning to the beach next season. Miss Anna Laf1in has returned to her home in Brooklyn after epending the summer at the beach.

 There is one fact women should con- sider and thatis this. Women suffer from irregularities and various forms of weak ness. They try this and that doctor, as well as different medicines.
