 Building Fund s3.ooo
 On January 12, 1901, the proprietors of the south half of Woodstock granted permission to set an Academy on the common north of the Woodstock meet ing house. Funds for building were to be secured by the gift of sI0O each from thirty-two citizens of the town. The Rev. Eliphalei Lyman, pastor of the Woodstock Hill church, headed the list with his own subscription and then rode on horseback all over the town. securing the rest of the needed money. There was great deal of interest among the townspeople in the build ing of the Academy and considerable volunteer labor was given.
 Thomas Williams of Pomfret. a Yale graduate, was selected as the first pre- ceptor. On February 4. 1902. the new Academy building was formally open ed and dedicated School opened the next day with an enrolment of over 100 pupils.
 The following year the Academy was incorporated by the legislature. Youthful Yale graduates succeeded one another as preceptors as the years passed. George Mcclellan, father of General George R. Mcclellan of Civil War fame, attended the Academy dur ing it's early years.
 After the Civil War an endowment fund was raised after few years, and S20.000 was available for the erection of new and spacious Academy build ing. This building was opened August 2i, 1873. This building has been used up to the present time. and Is still in use. although many changes and rem ovations have been made during the years.

Even the father OF modern social
economy, Adam Smith, recognized
this difference between employers as
sociations and labor unions.
"The masters, he said, do not only
ally themselves against journeymen.
There prevails among them silent
understanding which is much more
dangerous to the workers than fight
openly directed against them.
what was recognized more than
$50 years ago by Adam Smith can be
observed in our present times, prac-
tically day after day. Employers
organizations carefully try to shield
every activity against publicity
Shortly after they organized for COM
mon action against the workers, the
blacklist makes it's appearance.
"The powerful industrial lords do
mot believe in open fighting. They
prefer the ambush method"

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS

The protest against an additional
hour, without pay, was made by a
committee representing the General
Confederation of Labor. This is the
legitimate Italian trade union move-
ment that has been outlawed by Mus.
solini. In the industrial centers Of
northern Italy, and in the machinery
trades especially, the confederation
maintains the skeleton of an organi-
zation. 1t dare not function as a mill
tant trade union, and Mussolini fears
to Jail the brave souls who cling to
their impotent unions, well knowing
that better days are in store for Italy.
These unionists, together with all
other Italian workers, are compelled
by law to join the Fascist unions,
which are recognized by the govern
ment. Only those who accept the
Fascist theory-that the state is SUI
preme over the individual-are per-
mitted to have a voice and vote in
the Fascist unions. All others must
pay dues but must remain silent.
When Mussolini issued his nine
hour order, it was the General Con-
federation of Labor that dared to pro-
test Weak as they were, the dictator
feared that the courageous stand of
the trade union committee would
spread, so he ordered retreat.

TIES TO PROTECT
CONSTITUTION

New York.-The Sentinels Of the
Republic has issued "call to arms"
to oppose the combined efforts Of re-
formers and radicals who it is all
legged are placing the federal consti-
tuition in jeopardy and threatening to
destroy the best government system
the world has ever known" The or
ganization plans a series of patriotic
congresses throughout the United
States to defend the constitution.
The Sentinels of the Republic
sprang into the yimelight in 1924
when it virulently opposed the child
labor amendment to the United States
constitution. 1t claims to have been
largely instrumental for the defeat of
the amendment in, the Massachusetts,

Jack Hendricks, of the Cincinnati
Reds, will have several scouts on the
ground looking to picking up some
good material for bolstering up the
slipping Reds. No doubt the scouts
will find several scrappy shortstops
and eight or ten good pitchers, just
what the Reds need, among the re-
taller teams.
At $50 swell feed will be served.
Not potato salad and lettuce sand
wich affair, but real honest-to-good-
ness supper-one where they really
serve something to eat. The chair
man of the committee announces that
the time for eats starting is $50 and
that this doesn't mean 6:31 or any
time thereafter. Knowing the chair
man as we think we do, the Press
advises those that want to be in on
the start had better bet there at
6:29. The number to be served at
supper is limited to $50 merchants
and their families or friends. No
other reservations will be accepted
after that number is reached. So it
behooves those desiring to participate
in this feature Of the outing to get
busy and reserve places.
At 8 o'clock dancing will begin and
continue until a late hour. Lehm-
kuhl's orchestra will furnish the
music for the dancing.
