Plttsfleld, Mass., June 11. Interest
ing ceremonies accompanied the unveil-
ing here today of a handsome bronse
memorial tablet to General Henry B.
Brleara. The oration of the dav was
delivered by Ex-Congressman Rockwell.

marched away early In the war and is
remembered with particular pride and
affection by the people of western Mas

Prompted by generous impulse to

through school, either from choice or
from necessity, Horaoe Wilson ha ad
dressed a letter to The Journal concern
ing the coming educational contest The
letter is printed in full:

The Journal's first educational contest
I wish to state some of my experiences ,
and benefits derived from it. I
I did not always obtain a subscrip

woman, but after telling them that It

a paper and preferred The Journal, so
it mads no difference to them if they
did pay quite a way In advance.
"A number of people 'phoned for ma

from distant parts mailed their sub

a number of Sellwood children to go a
considerable distance to school where
there are no streets or walks other than
the tracks of the Sellwood car Una The
raanlutlona follow:
"Resolved. By tne eenwooa noara or

"That this organisation and cltlaens
of Sellwood vigorously protest against
any change of the boundary line be

tha nreeent Sellwood district will be
removed therefrom to another.
Citizens are very indignant ana resent
any move that will compel cnuaren to
