Both stations are h‘d-l ly connected at present; and the new subway will be of great assistance to passengers who wish to get as quickâ€" ly as possible from the Gare &u‘ Midi to the Gare du Nord, or vice versa.

Many of the people who fo'rgct to vote would punish their children if they forget to go to school. Anyway as the result of an elecâ€" tion, a large number of people will be relieved of sacrificing their time to the governmient, and will be free to attend to their own business. particularly colleges of engineering and colleges of commerce, have made a distinct and valuable contribution to the movement for better manageâ€" ment."

In the convenâ€" tion Hancock was induced to offer a number of proposed amendments supâ€" porting â€"the rights of the states. The famous "Boston Massacre" ocâ€" curred March 5, 1770.

The day after the shooting a town meeting was held under the ‘leadership of Samuel Adams and John Hancock.

He also. wrote a circuâ€" lar letter which the assembly sent to other colonies, suggesting that coâ€"opâ€" eration was essential in a cause which affected all of the continent. One of the fiery spirits of the Revoâ€" lution, and one which is synonymous with the “S%trit of ‘76," was Samuel Adams of Massachusetts. Needless to say he signed the Declaration of Indepehdence, the 150th anniversary of which is being commemorated by the Sesquiâ€"Centennial © International Exposition in Philadelphia.
