The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-05

Naugatuck, Sept. 5.-The board
L: education will be required to
I'LL q vacancy at its meeting at ;
o'clock this afternoon, 1t was
learned today from superintendent
dent Of Schools Harold q. Chitten-
den. The vacancy will be that OF
kindergarten teacher in Salem and
Central schools, one position.
At the August meeting of the
board, Miss, Catherine M. Cahill,
former local resident, who has
been teaching for several years in
Stonfngton, was appointed to fill
the place left vacant when Mrs.
stephen Star who prior to her
marriage was Miss Irene Bren-
nan, resigned.
It had been thought this with
other appointments made at the
time would be satisfactory to the
appointee but Supt. Chittenden said
Mis- Cahill would not take the
place. Just why is expected to be
revealed before the board today.
There had been several local
persons looking for the position
but Miss Cahill's application had
been at the top Of the last and she
was given the right Of priority.
Now just who will get the office
remains to be seen. It is likely an
other private meeting of the board
before the official session is opened
will be necessary this afternoon to
secure the unanimous approval of
the person to be named.
As far as is known, no others of
those changed will have to be re-
placed.
Decide On Opening
The board will undoubtedly have
to decide whether or not schools
in the borough will reopen Tues
day. Schools were scheduled for
opening yesterday but did not do SO
because of postponement due to
fear Of infantile paralysis spread.
It is believed the board will APP
prove opening next Tuesday as no
new cases have been reported by
Health Officer Walter Baker since
the school postponement action was
taken.
It is not known whether there
will be any discussion as to what
the school department might do
with the recent gift of property and
buildings on the futile land al
North Church street. There are
any number Of possibilities for
which this can be used but the gift
specifies it is to be used for school
department or park use. It does
not seem likely there is money
available now for erection of a
junior high school there. The board
may discuss the matter today.
Numerous details concerning
opening of schools will be discuss
ed by the board. Supt. Chittender
expects a quorum to attend.

VALUE OF GARDEN CLUBS TO
THE COMMUNITY
BY J. D. Winter, Saint Paul,
in The Minnesota Horticulturist.

The rapidly growing number of To-
cal garden clubs in all sections OF
the United States reflects the useful
part that these clubs are playing in
the community life of America today.
A local garden club has a place of
real Importance in any community,
and by following constructive plan
of work it will become a factor of
considerable influence in community
projects.
Garden Interest.
The first objective of garden CLUB
is to provide an opportunity for its
members to meet and to discuss mat
tiers of mutual interest. to stimu-
late interest in gardening, to eX-
change ideas among its members.
to advance the knowledge OF garden
ing in the community, and to cooper
ate with other organizations in horti-
cultural activities. The garden club
may sponsor an annual flower show.
a Better Yard and Garden contest,
garden tours. demonstrations of APP
proved ways of building various gar
den features such as the garden pool
and the rock garden. The educa-
tional value of such activities should
be given first consideration at all
times.
Community Affairs.
There are many ways in which
a garden club may take an active
part in community affairs. 1t should
see that interest is maintained in
highway Identification, in the in-
provement of parks and school
grounds. and in the development OF
recreational areas. During the sum-
mer months it may be possible to pro-
vide garden flowers for hospitals or
other institutions where a real need
exists. A garden club should seek the
cooperation of the local library in
maintaining an up-to-date selection OF
the best garden books.
Other Local Organizations.
A garden club may assist in devel-
oping All Club work in gardening and
home Identification. 1t may take an
interest in Boy Scout and Girl Scout
activities that relate to horticulture
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1935-06-20

Seeds and prizes for the activities of
these Junior groups may be made pos
sible through the efforts of the gar
den club.
Statewide AffiliatiOn.
Every local garden club that affili-
ates with the Minnesota State horti-
cultural Society at once becomes Il
part of a strong statewide or2aniza
tion from which it may secure various
services that could not be obtained
i'll any other way. Each club member
receives copy of the Minnesota Hor
ticulturist which is published nine
times yearly. Up-to-date gardening
books are available to members from
the Loan Library of the society. Spe-
cial folders and other information on
gardening are available from the Of
fee of the society. A plant premium
of real value may be selected by each
member. During the coming year it
is planned to furnish limited guam
tity of premium ribbons for shows
sponsored by affiliated societies.
Tables, vases, and clerical assistance
are available for shows held at or
near the Twin Cities. The affiliation
fee is only 80 cents per member aid
any garden club with membership
of ten or more may affiliate. Local
clubs with a membership of 100 or
more are entitled to representation
on the Executive Board of the State
Horticultural Society.
Organizing New Garden Clubs.
Members of the State Horticultural
Society very appropriately may take
the initiative in organizing garden
clubs in their vicinity.
The first step in organizing a gar
den club is to call a meeting of those
interested, elect a temporary chair
man. decide upon suitable name for
the club. and then proceed to adopt
constitution and a few necessary
bylaws to govern the proceedings of
the club.
1t does not require a large number
to start a club, five or six persons
will be sufficient for start. FIRE.
quently. temporary officers are elected
at the first meeting and they are Civ
en- the responsibility of preparing d
suitable constitution to be submitted
for approval at the next meeting of
the club.
When the constitution and bylaws
have been adopted by vote of those
present, each member may sign the
original copy. In this way you have
valuable record of the charter men,
bers of the club.

Some More 1885 Educational Laws.
Parties presenting claims against
school districts are required to have
said claims itemized and verified
This verification may be made before
any member of school board or any
officer authorized by law to admin
lister oaths. This act does not apply
to salaries of teachers, bus drivers
etc. under contract.
The aid for superior-accrediteJ
schools has been reduced from S112.50
to $4,000 Insufficient appropriations
| is the reason. This is just another
case of discrimination against the ru-
raj schools).
| A district must maintain at least
an eight months term in order to
qualify for apportionment and CLASH
fication aids.
The state will pay the school tax
for the years 1888 and 1884 on lands
held by the Rural Credit system. The
auditors in counties where such lands
are located are required to make ap-
plication to the state auditor before
June 80, 1885. If there are lands ir
your district held under the Rural
Credit system. see your county auditor
at once. (Although the time granted
for this is very short, your county SUI
perintendent and county auditor have
already taken steps to secure lists
and find out location of State Rural
Credit lands in Pine county. Perhaps
school board members may be able tC
help locate such lands).
