james M. Lynch Of the fifth con-

tiers in this city, today implied that
should the general assembly pass
the measure under consideration,
causing him to hold court In Tor
rington, 1t would not be any serious
diversion from the schedule already
observed by him. At the present
time the commissioner Is only COM
PEELED to hold session In this city,
with all claimants and respondents
seeking him out here. The new
bill, which Is under consideration by
the judiciary committee of the
legislature, requests that sessions be
held in Ansonia and Torrington as
well. Reports seeping from the COM
mittee room say the Torrington
measure is favored but that the
Ansonia request will probably be
denied, because Of its size.
Hearings on compensation claims
have been conducted at almost every
town and city In this congressional
district by Commissioner Lynch.

der the able leadership of Miss
Bostrom the class is progressing
rapidly. The beginning of these
instructions has grown out of the
complaint that quite few pupils
wouldn't attend the school dances
because they couldn't dance.
Therefore, that we might all en-
joy these social functions, Miss
Bostrom has kindly consented to
give us her time and help.
It seems to a pet trick of Miss
Sturdevant's to assign us talks on
Monday, because last Monday she
gave English III students a third
chance to talk before the class.
Although some of us may not en-
joy this type of assignment, we
must all afterwards admit that it
helps us a great deal. Already
our ability as speakers is improv-
ing. Besides this we have been
continuing our study of pronouns.
Chemistry students are now
studying chemical equations. In
connection with this we have
been brushing up a bit on our
arithmetic and elementary alge-
bra, for of course we have forgot
ten a few things about it.
.
Miss Gilchrist is starting a new
plan of study in her American
History classes this. week. The
first week of our work is spent
in studying the unit in our text
books and reference books. The
second week will be spent in re-
citation, tests and projects. AS
the plan is a bit different it makes
our work more interesting.

Shorthand pupils are gradually
learning many new phrases and
we expect to start transcribing
very shortly. Two girls who are
doing good work are Gertrude
Whittet and Marilyn Barnes.
Upon completing the study OF
| journalizing, which is the fund
amental process of all bookkeep-
ing, the bookkeeping students
have begun work with the ledger
This is a little more complicated
than journal work, but it is also
more interesting.
We used our English room stage
again this week. Newspaper edit
orials were the subject this time
Some of the varied topics taken
were Death" CONSERVATION OF
Wild Life" youth and Crime
and Patriotism" 1t may sur
prise you that many people wrote
on the topic of driving safely.
This certainly shows our genera
ton is becoming aware of this
dangerous problem. The stage
seems to be in use all the time
We seniors came in our room Fri
day noon and found junior girl
talking to the rapidly filling seats.
So you can see we even get prac-
tice under trying conditions.

probably about as surprised as
Miss Cory was few days ago
when she gave us test. ALI the
students had queer expressions
on their faces when we were told
to give participles, infinitives, and
imperatives of weak verbs. Most
of us hadn't realized that weak
verbs owned such things, and ma
turally we couldn't put them
down. She was surprised to see
how little we knew about it, and
how little we had studied. Now
we are reviewing and struggling
through more grammar. One day
we were to make map of Ger
many and learn something about
the geography of it. Most Of them
had good general appearance
from distance, but when close
up, the spelling could be seen and
it was terrible on many. An any
rate, Miss Cory hardly knew what
to think when the city of Ham
burg was spelled Hamburger. But
we have learned quite bit about
the country. Now we have a real
map in the room. Groans come
from all corners of the room when
our assignment is to memorize a
poem or to be able to answer
questions in German, but we are
trying to do them. Maybe this
sounds as though we are having a
terrible time; but really we all
enjoy it especially reading fairy
tales from a small reader we
have.
Social Science
The Social Science class has
been studying labor, capital, wag-
es, and other points in production.
Some day we should be able to
help the labor situation with all
the knowledge we should have
acquired these last few days. The
class was rather amused at Rus
sell Zitzmann when he answered
Mr.. Salzwedels question of
whether he thought he could say
windmill would be classified as
labor. Russell said, "Sure, can
say it all right, but I don't know
if it is true" We are having cur
rent events one day each week.
Last time the topics chosen by
most people were on the wars and
/, Senator Black. We now are buy
ing the american Observer" to
take our current events from, and
we enjoy this work.

Had stranger peered into the
old gymnasium Wednesday morn

am certain that said person would
