Through the good work of Chair- 
man Swett of the Board of Asses- 
sors nearly a quarter of million dol- 
lars have been added to the valua- 
tion of the Town of Manchester this 
week. To be exact $218,400 of valu- 
ation has been added to taxable per- 
personal property. This means an 
additional tax this year of $1834.56. 
According to law any taxable pro- 
perty found by the assessors after 
their regular assessing work in Ap- 
ril may be added to the valuation 
for assessment between the 15th and 
20th of December, and a tax levied 
upon it. 
Harry P. Wills. 
The death of Harry P. Wills at 
the Beverly Hospital last Wednes- 
day morning, was a very sad affair. 
Mr. Wills came to Manchester 
about six months ago in charge of 
an auto owned by Mrs. Perkins, mo- 
ther of Mrs. William Hooper. He 
was taken sick with appendicitis a 
fortnight ago and was carried to the 
Beverly Hospital, 
through a successful operation. He 
was making splendid progress to- 
ward recovery, and on Tuesday ev- 
ening was able to sit up. He was 
~ planning to leave the hospital with- 
in a few days. He was taken sud- 
denly that night, however, and died 
next morning. Death is thought to 
have been caused by a clot of blood 
on the lungs. 
Mr. Wills was 25 years old. 
home was in W. 
where his body was taken ae Sere 
for burial. For the last few years, 
however, he lived in California. It 
was there he was married not long 
His 
ago. Mrs. Wills lived with her hus- ~ 
band at the Manchester House the 
last six months. 
He was very popular among the 
voung people of the town who knew 
him, and many are the regrets that 
are heard of his untimely end.

Parent-Teacher Meeting. 
A largely attended meeting of the 
Parent-Teacher association of Man- 
chester was held Wednesday even- 
ing in the Price Primary school as- 
sembly hall. After the meeting was 
called to order by President Mrs. 
D. T. Beaton and the records were 
read by Secretary Miss Anne Clark, 
the meeting was turned over to 
Supt. Mackin of the program com- 
mittee. 
The Y. M. C. A. orchestra render- 
ed a selection from ‘‘I] Trovatore’’. 
Several phases of children’s wel- 
fare was discussed, the first being 
by Dr. R. T. Glendenning on what 
the state does to educate the child. 
He read the state labor laws bear- 
ing on children. He told how the 
state takes control of the child 
from the time it is 7 years old until 
it is 14, and aside from this compul- 
sory school attendance, the state 
provides the best possible conditions 
for his welfare in other details, such 
as compelling vaccination, medical 
inspection, etc. He said of medical 
inspection that parents should look 
at this in the right way, and not be 
sensitive when their attention is 
called to any conditions along this 
line. There is no question but what 
medical inspection is a great bene- 
fit to the child. As soon as the 
parents learn that the state is doing 
its best for the benefit of the child 
they will be less sensitive. He spoke 
of the need of greater care of the 
teeth: 
Miss Mable Trefry sang very 
sweetly ‘‘Dreaming, I Love You 
etre 
Local conditions were very ably 
set forth by Dr. Blaisdell, who spoke 
first of Manchester’s natural sur- 
roundings and regretted the fact 
that the spoiler has now come in 
and is cutting down acres and acres 
of Manchester’s woods for personal 
gain, instead of preserving this na- 
tural attraction. The sore spot of 
the whole town was our lack of sew- 
erage disposal, he said. 
He spoke of the necessity of clean- 
liness, if we are to have the best 
conditions; next, good food; next, 
plenty of water; fourthly, plenty of 
good fresh air, and lastly ‘‘moral 
sewerage’’. In connection with this 
last subject he advised a more inti- 
mate knowledge of sex relations 
taught by the parent to the growing 
child in order to bring about the 
best result in the upbuilding of 
society. 
The orchestra played a selection 
from the ‘‘ American Heiress’’ 
Dr. Tyler then took up the sub- 
ject of Nutritive Values of Food in — 
which he was assisted in explaining © 
his subject by a chart loaned by the 
Harvard Medical School professor. 
He pointed out the respective nutri- — 
tive values of cereals, fruits, vege- — 
tables, eggs, milk, ete., showing the ~ 
quantity of sugars, fats, water, etc., 
ete., in each. 
Miss Trefry sang

mas work by the pupils of the

ly presented to the school by the
