NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER CLUB 
(Continued from Page 2, 1st col.) 
At the left, as one comes up the 
stairs, is the door leading to the read- 
ing room, which is furnished in a most 
cosy style. The room is about 21x18 
feet, and is finished in mahogany with 
white casings, and red burlap going 
around the room. There are two 
mahogany corner settles in this room, 
two large easy chairs and six mission 
arm chairs, all upholstered in red 
leather cushions. A large mahogany 
table sets in the middle of the room, 
on which are the papers and maga- 
zines. There are also two small side 
tables. 
An attractive feature of this room is 
the open fireplace, with an attractive 
white colonial mantle with rope col- 
umns, Corinthian capitals, egg and 
dart mouldings and set with a large 
mirror. 
A door from this room to the front 
leadsinto the pool and billiard room, 
which is about 22x28 feet, and takes 
up very nearly the whole front of the 
floor. The color effect here is green, 
with ecru tint walls. Two Goodwin- 
Leavitt -Yatter Co. quartered oak, 
perfection cushion tables occupy most 
of the floor space in this room, one for 
pool, the other for billiards. There is 
a large bay window, and a window 
seat with green leather cushions. 
Leading from this is the card room, 
about 12x22 feet. The walls are ecru 
tint, and green burlap encircles the 
room. There are three tables, with 
chairs for 16 players. This room is 
finished in weathered oak. 
Doors lead from the hallway into 
both of these rooms, and on the oppo- 
site side is the writing room, equipped 
with a desk and all the appurtenances. 
Two large rubber plants, presented 
to the club by E. S. Knight, with 
jardineres for the same presented by 
D. T. Beaton, one of which is in tne 
reading room and the other in the 
hallway, add greatly to the setting of 
the rooms. Raymond C. Allen pre- 
sented the club with checker and 
chess boards, made by Chas. Fritz, 
and set in oak frames with glass top, 
which add materially to the equipment 
of the card room. Geo. E. Willmon- 
ton presented a clock for the reading 
roorn. 
The rooms are furnished through- 
out with the finest the club could 
procure, and are, indeed, very cosy ; 
something Manchester has never be- 
fore had, and of which the town can 
well feel proud. 
Wednesday night the members 
smoked on Dr. Blaisdell, a box of 
nice Marguerite being used up dur- 
ing the evening. 
The officers of the club are: Fred 
J. Merrill, president ; Horace Standley, 
-.Wm W Hoare 
vice president ; Percy A. Wheaton, 
secretary ; Oscar B. Wing, treasurer. 
Executive committee : George A. Kit- 
field, James Hoare, Oliver T. Roberts,

Allen. Committee on furniture: Al- 
fred C. Needham, Geo. A. Kitfield 
and F. J. Merrill. Committee on 
literature: Geo. E. Willmonton, I. M. 
Marshall and J. Alex. Lodge. 
The resident membership of the 
club is limited to 75, and the non- 
resident membership is _ unlimited. 
Provision may also be made whereby 
members may gain membership priv- 
ileges for a friend at any time, for 
about two weeks. 
A deal of credit is due George E. 
Willmonton for the perfection of the 
organization. He took the initiative 
steps, and the club was really started 
through his personal efforts.

Medical Inspection in the Schools 
The State board of education is 
making inquiries from cities and towns 
as to the system of medical inspection, 
if any, employed in the various towns, 
preparatory, no doubt, to some special 
legislation which is likely to be made 
along this line. This 1s something 
which has been urged by educators 
for some time, and while many of the 
cities and towns of the commonwealth 
have a regular medical inspector out- 
side the board of health, who regu- 
larly inspects the schools, Manchester 
has nothing of the kind. 
Supt. Fish made slight reference to 
the matter in his report last winter, 
clone” Strople. 
and he is very desirous of having 
medical inspectors appointed for our 
schools. 
Why Is It? 
There is probably more people in- 
sured in the John Hancock in Man- 
chester and Beverly Farms than in 
any other two companies. Why is it? 
It isn’t wholly because Strople is a 
hustler, but it is because of the es- 
pecially fine inducements which the 
company has to offer. The returns 
on maturing policies in the Hancock 
show —to use the slang expression, 
that they have all the others “beat a 
mile.’ This is because of their conser- 
vative methods. Read their adv. on 
another page. That tells the story.
