WHISPERINGS 
Some persons are always ready and 
willing to find fault with the train men 
when the trains are late, but few real- 
ize the work these brakemen have to 
doina day, especially on a stormy 
day. Iwas told by a brakeman on 
one of the Gloucester branch trains, 
Wednesday, that he had walked 22 
miles the day before flagging trains. 
He was the rear brakeman and at every 
stop he had to go back some distance 
to guard the rear end of the train. 
The longest walk that he had was 
from the Montserrat station back to 
Beverly, there being no operator at the 
former office. That night after work- 
ing some four hours late he was _ get- 
ting ready to go home after his last 
trip when he was delegated to go to 
Boston on the last train and return on 
the theatre train. He arrived home 
the next morning about 3 o’clock, and 
had to be up to start off on the first 
train up the branch. And yet how 
few of us know how tired that poor 
fellow was. 
SCHOOL NOTES 
Manchester 
There was some little misunder- 
standing in the schoo] whistle Wednes- 
day. The whistle was sounded at 7 45 
and was intended to be the signal 
that there would be no school at the 
Primary building. Very few under- 
stood it that way, thinking that it 
meant no school at any of the build- 
ings. Consequently the attendance 
was small. It should be understood 
that the alarm sounded at 7.45 means 
no school at the Primary school ; 
sounded at 8 o’clock, no school at any 
of the buildings ; sounded at 10.45 it 
means one session at the Primary 
school, and at 11 only one session 
at all. 
The children of Mr and Mrs. Henry 
Slade and of Mr. and Mrs. George 
Northrop have returned to school this 
week, after being held in quarantine 
with diphtheria for some weeks. 
Among the visitors to school the 
past week were Mrs. George Knight, 
Mrs. A. C. Needham, Mrs. Fred John- 
son and Miss Edith Stowe. 
The-children at the G. A.. Priest 
school miss ‘“‘Grandpa’’ Merrill from 
his accustomed duties as janitor. He 
has been confined to the house the 
past week with an attack of grippe.
