us from the Pilgrim. 
“When the Pilgrim wished to train 
young men for the ministry did he 
_ send them to England? 
When it be- 
came necessary to educate the young 
men of Massachusetts the answer to 
the need was found in Harvard col- 
lege. In Connecticut, Yale college ; in 
Maine, Bowdoin college; in New 
Hampshire, Dartmouth college; in 
Massachusetts, Williams and Am- 
herst. The Pilgrims or their descen- 
dents founded the majority of the in- 
stitutions of learning in America. 
These institutions have broadened, 
and today learning is given out im- 
partially, without restriction as to 
who shall benefit. We have these 
blessings because the Pilgrim was a 
lover of learning.”

The local barber shops are now 
working on winter hours and are 
closed on Monday afternoons. We 
understand it is the intention to raise 
the price of a haircut on Jan. I from 
25¢ to 35¢, to conform with the times 
in meeting the added expense of doing 
business. The price of shaves will 
remain the same—r5c. Alas; there 
are fewer faces to shave nowadays, 
say the tonsorial artists, due to the 
increased use of the safety razor. 
Safety first!

ForMER ScHoor Supt. oF MAN- 
CHESTER Drops DEAD. 
Charles E. Fish, for 10 years sup- 
erintendent of schools in Amesbury, 
died suddenly Monday while address- 
ing a public meeting in the interest of 
the State department of university 
extension, of which he was the in- 
structor of English. 
Mr. Fish had spoken about five 
minutes when he was noticed to 
throw up one hand to his head. He 
expired soon after of hemorrhage ot 
the brain. 
Mr. Fish was born on Cape Cod, 
and had taught numerous private 
schools. He was a graduate of Har- 
vard in the class of ex-President 
Theodore Roosevelt. About 1890 he 
was made principal of Phillips Exe- 
ter Academy, where he remained five 
years. 
Prevous to going to Amesbury he 
was superintendent of schools in 
Manchester for six or seven years, 
leaving here in 1908. In 1906 he 
divided his time between Manchester 
and Amesbury schools, and in 1908 
he moved to the latter town and was 
superintendent of schools there until 
lasts talt: The death of his son, 
Charles Fish, about a month ago, was 
a terrible shock to the father, and his 
death Monday is largely attributed to 
this cause.
