East Burke
White School House" Marker to
Be Dedicated August 10

Through the interest of Elmer
A Darling, a marker is to be plac-
ed at the Old White Schoolhouse
on the road from here to East
Haven. This old schoolhouse re-
mains substantially as when built
in 1877 and is in good state of
preservation. is ancient walls and
desks bear witness to its century
of service, and from it have gone
many useful men and women, with
more than the usual percentage of
those who have achieved brilliant
success.
1t now houses a collection of
household implements of pioneer
days, with other antiques, placed
there by the Burke Historical So
ciety ABOUT 20 years ago, after the
school was transferred to the new
building.
The Historical Committee of the
Burke Mountain club will dedicate
the marker on Thursday, August
10. There will be a basket picnic
at noon, followed by appropriate
exercises, to which all interested
in the old schoolhouse and all
former and present pupils of the
White school are invited to come.

found his whip, broken into three
pieces, and tied up in its own lash.
Now, in his day, T. E. Winlock ex-
plains, horses and chariots had long
been used In Egypt, but 1t was still
remembered that they had first come
from Asia, and probably the best
horses and the most skillful drivers
were aliens. The Aslatics always swore
