Naueatuck, Sept. 9.-Prepara- tions for opening of public and parochial schools here tomorrow were underway today. All danger of spread of the paralysis epi- demic, fear of which caused post ponement of schools opening from last Wednesday seems to have passed. Not one case has been reported here in several weeks.
 No unusual trouble is ex- pected in handling the young sters entering different grades or classes tomorrow. There may be few cases of well-crowded rooms in the grammar schools but it is expected the facilities will easily accommodate the number who will enter.
 A smaller attendance during opening week at the high school this year is expected than last year.
 There were 860 pupils who at- tended the first week last year but only between $40 and $50 are ex- pected to enroll during the pres ent opening week. One of the rea- sons for this is that some boys of high school age have been able to obtain work in local factories and may not return to school.
 The schools are in fine shape for the opening day. All rooms haze been thoroughly cleaned and repairs have been made during the summer on several of the build- ings.
 Teachers who reside out of town during the summer returned to the borough yesterday and today to be on hand tomorrow.
 Only a few changes in teaching ranks have taken place since school closed in June.
 Miss Mae Cullen, formerly prin- cipal of Beebe street school, was transferred to the position of prin- cipal of Rubber avenue, taking the place left vacant when Miss Theresa M. Sweeney resigned aft CT 50 years of service.
 Miss Katherine Kane was trans ferred from second grade, Oak street school, to Miss Cullen's place at Beebe street but whether or not SHc WILL Iohiohho" mains to be seen as discussion at the September meeting of the board of education indicated she did not care to take the new po- sition.
 Miss Theresa Wrinn was trans ferred to Oak street from a spec iaI class which she had been teach ing to take Miss Kane's place and Miss Agnes Jackson, former local resident, who has been teaching in Norwich. was assigned to Hop Brook to teach the special class there, formerly under Miss Wrinn's tutelaSe. Whether this will be the lineup tomorrow is still doubtful for other shifts may be necessitat- ed by teie Beebe street situation.
 Mrs. Irene Brennan Sitar, kim dergarten teacher in Salem and Central avenue schools, resigned and as yet her place is vacant. Miss Katherine Cahill having de- clined the position. It Is expected a. substitute will be named for sev- eral weeks in this capacity but just who has been chosen to substitute has not yet been announced.
 The conduct of members of the upper classes of the high school, particularly that of sophomores, on tn first day of school will be par ticularly watched this year in view of the recent warning against haz- ing of freshmen.
 Members of these classes will be again warned when they enter school and any infractions will meet with suspension of those in- volved. There has been some grumb!ing among youngsters who had to submit to rough handling themselves when freshmen but none is expected to disobey the edict of the educators.

Prayer Chain Letters


 Catholics were warned yesterday at St. Francis church against the superstitious practice of "prayer" chain letters by Rev. Edwin GaR- ney In his Sunday talk. Chain let ters with several prayers on them have heen sent various parishion- CTS and the recipients of the letters were warned to add several more under penalty of severe misfortune for failure to do so, and send them on.
 Such letters are nonsense and purely the result of superstition, Father Gaffney said. He advised the parishioners to pay no heed to them, or if they were still some- what afraid, to bring them to him where they would be destroyed.
 Local Catholics were urged to send their children of school age to parochial school. Father Gaffney stressed the failure of the public schools system in teaching re- ligion. Many children, he said. grow up with a thorough knowledge of tLe three R's and other subjects but have no conception of religion, which should be vital force in their lives, he said.
 Enrolment of children took place tkis morning at St. Francis church. The mass of the Holy Ghost will be celebrated tomorrow morning for all children at the parochial school before the school starts its fall term.
