Editor of the North Shore Breeze, 
Dear Sir: I have read with inter- 
est the article by Nathan C. Fowler, 
upon schools and school committees, 
in your editorial in the issue of Jan. 
28; also those articles pertaining to 
the Parent-Teacher association in 
that issue and of the formation of 
the association in your last issue, 
and think this an opportune time to 
eall the attention of the Manches- 
ter Woman’s club to the question, 
if a lady as a member of the school 
would not help’ the 
schools, teachers and pupils, and 
greatly assist the Parent-Teacher as- 
sociation in its work? Manchester 
has a number of ladies who have 
been teachers in our schools and 
thoroughly understand what should 
be expected of teachers, pupils and 
members of the school committee, 
and one of these as a member of the 
board would be a step in the right 
direction and agreeably harmonize 
with the suggestions in Mr. Fowler’s 
article. 
Ladies of the Woman’s club are 
you interested enough in the town 
and its schools to undertake this 
work? If so, act quickly, as the 
time is limited, and rest assured the 
voters will assist you at the polls. 
From one who is interested in the 
schools.

Town Meeting Notes. 
Two new candidates have made 
their appearance since the last is- 
sue of our paper. Allen 8S. Peabody 
has announced his candidacy for the 
board of selectmen and also for the 
board of assessors for three years. 
Mr. Peabody is one of Manchester’s 
bright young men and_ possesses 
many qualifications which are essen- 
tial to good service for the town if 
elected to fill the honorable posi- 
tions for which he is aspiring. He 
is the only candidate outside the 
present board who has as yet come 
to the front. 
William Young has announced his 
candidacy for re-election as_ tree 
warden. T. William Lamasney is 
~ also in the field. 
-. George E., Hildreth, whom we 
mentioned last week as candidate for 
the water board to succeed Freder- 
ick J. Merrill, whose term expires 
this year, authorizes us to say he is 
running on the issue of retaining © 
Francis M. Andrews as superintend- 
ent of the water works. It may not 
be generally known that the present 
board. of commissioners several 
months ago notified. Mr. Andrews 
that he must look é¢lscwhere fer a 
position, as he would probably not 
be appointed at the expiration of his 
present term. It would appear that 
the issue in the present town meet- 
ing would center around Mr. As- 
drews. The old board probabiy ieel 
they have just reas?n lor not ap- 
pointing Mr. Andrews, or they 
would not have taken such action. 
Mr. Hildreth, in the meantime, steps 
to the front with the statement that 
if he is elected he will vote for re- 
taining Mr. Andrews and he wants 
the citizens to know he is running on 
this issue. 
We understand that Senter Stan- 
ley is running on this same ipsue 
for the unexpired term, caused by 
the death of the late J. T. stanley. 
Others running for this position 
are Horace Standley and Charles CU. 
Dodge. Frederick J. Merrill is a 
candidate for re-election for three 
years. 
Lyman W. Floyd is a candidate 
for re-election as a member of tiie 
school\board. 
Hospital Aid Association. 
The Hospital Aid association was 
recently organized in Beverly, for 
the purpose of aiding in various 
ways in the work of the Beverly 
hospital. Miss Louisa Loring of 
Pride’s Crossing is the promoter of 
the association, and the ladies of 
Beverly and vicinity who have not 
already joined are invited to become 
interested in the association and 
join. One of the principal ob- 
jects of the association is to sup- 
port and keep in repair the linen 
and to take charge of an annual 
donation day. The annual fee for 
active membership will be $1 a year, 
and for associate membership, $5. 
Rules and regulations have been 
drawn up and heads of the commit- 
tees appointed. A number of Man- 
chester people have already joined 
including Mrs. William Hoare, Miss 
Emma Hoare and Mrs. Raymond C. 
Allen. The women of Manchester 
are urged to join. 
The Beverly hospital is as much 
Manchester’s as Beverly’s, in fact, 
during the last three or four months 
nearly a dozen Manchester residents 
have been taken care of at the hos- 
pital. They are accorded the same 
service as the patients from the city 
proper, no distinction being made. 
Those desiring to affiliate themselves 
with this movement may obtain fur- 
ther particulars from Mrs. R. C. Al- 
len, who will be glad to take names 
for membership.
