Regular Meeting
Waterville Board
OF Education Friday

The regular monthly meeting OF
the Waterville Board of Education
was held in the city building last
evening with five members present
Roll of accounts number 400 was
read and accepted, amounting to
500, SS302.
Superintendent Glover, in his re-
port to the committee spoke of the
division of the extra large first grade
at the North Grammar school into
two classes, one of which meets in
the morning and the other in the
afternoon. The divisions are to al
ternate in attending in the mornings
and afternoons each month. The
system has now been in operation
for a month and there have been
but few complaints concerning 1t.
Mr.. Glover also mentioned various
changes in the teaching staff which
have occurred since the schools were
opened.
H. l.. Wilson, a representative of
the Educational Thrift Service, a
private corporation, explained to the
board the system of school savings
which he wishes to install in the
public schools of .Waterville. Mr..
Wilson stated that the service has
four distinctive advantages over that
which is in vogue at the present
time and they were: 1st., that there
would be no work entailed by the
school board or by the superintend-
ent; End, that the teacher would be
relieved of much of the work they
now do; 3rd., that there would be
no expenses to the schools or the
city as the bank which handles the
money bears the expense and 4th.,
that more children would become in
terested in the system than are in
terested in the present system.
The working of the system is that
each pupil is given an individual
pass book in which there are cou-
pons, each bearing the number Of
the book. One day each week is de-
signated as Bank Day. and on that
day the children bring their money
to the school where coupons are
made out of the amounts deposited.
The teacher then encloses these in
az envelope which she seals and
which is then sent to the principals
office. At the close of the school
day the entire svm of money depos-
tied is taken to the bank.
Each week the bank makes out a
summary of the money deposited
which is sent to the superintendent
and to each principal. 1t was point
ed out that the work done by the
bank in this branch of the system
would be a considerable relief to
the schools. All bookkeeping made
necessary by the deposits is also done
by the bank.
Another advantage of the system
discussed last evening is that the
children stand no chance of losing
their money. If a book is lost the
bank can, upon request, issue an
other with the total amount on bal
ance properly registered.
The service would send a trained

s o'clock yesterday morning in the
room In the Dickinson block on

for two days by shooting himself
with .3S calibre revolver just be-
low the heart. Death was instant
aneous and the cause was assigned
to dependency over i'll health.
The police were notified immedi-
ately after the shooting and deputy

the hallway outside the room.
DR.. Warren B. Sanborn of Angus
ia, county medical examiner. was
called and he declared the case to
be one Of plain suicide. The body
was taken to a local undertaker's.
Very little could be learned Of the
man. On his person was found the
sum Of $77.42 and two empty envel-
opes, one addressed to Mike Oleshuk
in Uxbridge, Mass, and the other
to L. Lehman of Worcester street, in

police endeavored to communicate
with Lehman in Franklin but they
were informed that no such street

record of a Lehman living there.
There was still another address. In
Hartford, Conn. The police believe
that the revolver with which Oles-
lux killed himself was brought here

1t Is of interest to note that the pres
ent bell in ST. Marks church, which

tract for the chimes was let. The
chimes are the best in the State OF
Maine, according to authorities. The
chimes will consist Of II, the largest
bell weighing 5000 pounds, will be in
E fiat. This scale was chosen so that
the ringing should not only be mus
ical but soft and melodious. The
total weight of the IL bells Will be
1850 pounds.
The smallest bell will weigh 325
pounds and is in F. There will be
two keyboards, one located in the
church and one located in the rec
tory. They will be electrical con-
nections. The idea of having a
keyboard in the rectory will be to
carry out the plan of playing some
hymn daily on the chimes.

to many that the Sons of the Amer

state, and while they allowed the
women to join this organization at

under way the women were exclud-
ed. This was not pleasing and q
