NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
SCHOOL ITEMS. 
The BREEZE last week opened a col- 
umn, which shall be devoted to school 
items of Manchester. Matters are 
continually coming up in school which 
deserve the attention of the parents, 
but which do not find their way into 
our news columns. The children of 
the four upper grades in the Priest 
School have charge of the column. 
Two reporters have been chosen by 
the pupils who have direct charge. 
They are: Alice Hoare and Waldo 
Peart, grade vil; Harriet Brewster 
and John Carter, grade vit; Arthur 
Jackson and Hazel Semmons, grade 
v1; Helen Wing and Rufus Long, 
grade v.

Superintendent Fish has made a 
regulation relative to children remain- 
ing after school to complete their 
studies, and for discipline during the 
past week to the effect that for the 
remainder of the year all pupils must 
not remain after school more than five 
minutes, except in cases of severe dis- 
cipline, and that teachers must not re- 
main more than fifteen minutes after 
the hour of closing. This is done with 
an object to bring about better class 
work on the part of the pupils, and to 
take them out into the open air after 
the sessions close, and also to relieve 
the teachers from a great deal of work 
they now have to do outside the regu- 
lar routine. 
The fire drill was given Wednesday 
afternoon and the scholars were out 
of the building in fifty seconds. 
Miss Melora Warner, Mrs. Chester 
L. Crafts, Mrs. George Hildredth, and 
Mrs. Frances M. Andrews visited the 
school the past week. 
Lewis Catheron of Needham and 
Revere Pulsifer visited the boys in 
their sloyd work Tuesday. 
The sixth grade boys are now tak- 
ing manual] training and are making 
the window wedge. The girls of the 
same grade are making pillow cases. 
Thee Niso J biasSecietyasorc1 cor 
collecting brown-tail nests closes 
April first (today). Over six thousand 
nests have been brought in the past 
week. 
A room for the use of the principal 
has recently been installed on the 
second story of the George A. Priest 
school, which has already proved a 
great convenience, inasmuch as _ pa- 
rents and others calling to see the 
principal on matters pertaining to the 
school and pupils can talk in private 
and not in the hearing of the pupils, 
as previously. 
To Start in Business, 
Gustave A. Knoerr, for several 
years manager of Clark & Mills 
North Shore’ office at Manches- 
ter, concludes his position with 
that concern today and will next 
week start in business for himself as 
electrical engineer. Mr. Knoerr has 
many friends in Manchester, who wish 
him every success in his new venture. 
Dies of Spotted Fever. 
One of the victims of the dreaded 
spotted fever, or spinal meningitis, 
was a young daughter of George 
Monteiro at Cohasset. Mr. Monteiro 
is a brother of Gustave Monteiro, who 
left here for California last fall, and he 
formerly conducted a tailor shop in 
Manchester, over Bell’s combination 
store. 
New Stone Crushing Plant. 
Messrs Connonlly Bros. of Beverly 
Farms have purchased a new stone 
crushing plant of the Champion, No. 
4 design which is strictly up to date 
in every respect. It arrived at Beverly 
Farms on Monday and was taken to 
their quarry located off Greenwood 
avenue and will be put in operation at 
once. This in connection with the 
plants this enterprising firm has had 
at work there all winter, will fully 
equip them to supply any and all de- 
mands. They have at present several 
large contracts on hand to supply 
broken stone and will furnish the 
Massachusetts State Highway Com- 
misssion with most of this material 
needed in the building of the new 
road which will soon be under way. 
Ocean Pier at Pride’s. 
There has been started this week 
for Herbert M. Sears, esq. of Boston, 
at his estate at Pride’s Crossing, an 
ocean pier which is to be about 420 ft. 
long, and is to be constructed of oak 
piling driven into the sand with hard 
pine stringers and planed spruce 
plank, together with the necessary 
galvanized iron truses, braces, etc. At 
the water end of the pier will be a run-

of good size, constructed upon the 
most up-to-date ideas, having steel 
pontoons. The whole length of pier 
will also have on each side an iron 
railing. Messrs Connolly Bros. of 
Beverly Farms are the builders.
