Following meeting of the town school committee, it was announced at, thes of flee of the secretary, Attorney Charles l.. Torrey, Tuesday morning that Putnam IS 10 lave an evening school again this year and that the first session will be- gin next Monday evening. A definite schedule of session nights had not been arranged up to Tuesday, but the school probably will be held at least three nights each week and total of 75 ses- sions will be held during the period be- fore the school closes next spring,
 The school committee appointed L. F. Battey as director of emigrant educa- tion and Americanization, position for which he is eminently we'll fitted. MT. Batteyr has directed evening school work very successfully in this city for several years He is to receive s80 per month in this capacity, half of which will be pail by the state. It is expected that Principal John J. OpBrien of the Israel Putnam school and Miss Elsie A. Gal lant, who taught in the evening school the past two years. will be two et the teachers.
 Every effort will be made during the present week to interest all who might l benefit from attendance at th1s school sto enroll for it's sessions A special ef- fort will be made and a canyass con ducted to the end that many of foreign birth who are unfamiliar with the Eng fish language maybe enrolled. Within few days the city of Putnam ] will come >into possession of g acres of 1; land the purchase of which has been l authorized by a special city meeting at which 2S electors voted an appropria- 1 tion, of $500 to be used in acquiring the property.
 
 1 The land is located south of the city on the easterlyi side of, the Norwich branch of the N. Y. N. H, and H. R. R., and is ordered on the south by the high way that runs westerly from Killingly avenue at the Randolph Bullard place to a point near the Wheaton and Putnam Country club properties.
 ! The city has immediate use for some of /; this land. A special asset of the new : purchase is the fact that is boarders a railroad and offers opportunity for putting in a side track at any time the city ! feels 1t has needs for such facilities. :!
