Cook, 1 Trinity Methodist church has ed a series of ‘“Vocational Meeting: for Sundays during the winter. Tho first of these meetings was held in the church last night and was large- ly attended. The speakers of the evening were Stanley H. Holmes, su- perintendent of schools, and Louis P. Slade, principal of the Hign school. Prior to the addresses of the eve- ning, Mr. Cook said the purpose of the meetings is to be helpful to the young men and women in the work of life. There are two minds in re- gards to the church and community. The first is the church is similar to a magnet and is . always drawing from the community. The second is the church is not here to sap the strength but is rather a radiating force, which is used to bring out that which is best in the community. He then introduced Mr. Holmes, who had for his topic, ‘““The Church and the School.” An abstract of his address follows: “We all must acknowledge that ours is a country of ideals and the chief- est of these ideals are the home, the church and the school. These three are engaged in the training and up-/ lifting of the country. The home 'of the present day, in many instances, is not actually ideal, for it has suf- fered decadence. It has not always fulfilled its function of enlarging the mental faculties. The aim of the church and the school is the same, that of uplifting the human race, The church does its part by giving religious and moral training, while the school offers intellectual, phy- sical and moral training. Day School vs. Sunday School. “The day school far exceeds the Sunday school and the home as a! vital force in a Catholic sense. There are some who think the school is becoming secularized but this is not so for the teachers in them are of all nationalities and religions. Through the appeals of the teachers and the social atmosphere the school | is most influential in the formation of character and good habits. The stud- ies offered are a potential factor in life. In the study of history, the puplls come to know of the govern- ment of today, for in history, truth and error were ever in conflict and from the study of them, the students are able to judge right and wrong. Then there is the uplifting influence of music and art, which is taught there. “The institution of the kindergarten is simply a manifestation of the words of Him “Suffer Little children to come unto me, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” The teachers are church members and sacrifice their time and strength for the needy. The speaker thought that if Christ should come on earth today, He would be ‘‘at home’ in the school. Church and nol, “The church in its broadest sense is the saving principle in the life of the world. In these days its influence has L:een lessened by the separation of the church and the state, but it still ex- erts a powerful influence for good. The church is & means and not an end and it ought to hold a larger space In the social life in the com- munity. It should be an aid to all. Often times organizations are formed tor arran per box. All drugglsts. The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, O, outside the pale of the church and | The church should support all insti- tutions that do saving work. The church and school ought to be more closely related for they are mutually dependent, following the courses of faith, hope and courage, and thus life is blessed and sweetened. They should be united for the church can- not exist without the school and the school needs the support of the best interests of the city and these inter- ests are found only in the church. They are working for the same ends and therefore should aliy. There should be a bond of mutual sympathy and friendship between the church and the school. In concluding Mr. Holmes said. “The character of the population of New Britain is peculiar. In twenty vyears the city will be in control of the foreign born, or at least the de- scendents of foreign born people. The church should work hard and see the relations of the church and the for- eign born people are as they ought to be and the schools should produce the right sort of fecling in them. New Britain ought to have a large : bling place where tihe older of these people could gather, as children do in the kindergarten, and be taught the spirit of the country and what is best for the populace. ““The church and school should unite and see the foreigners are given the right form of education of all sorts. The leaders of the racial aroups, for there are such leaders, should be taught properly and placed in the right attitude of mind to insure the fety and prosperity of the city, which we all love so much.” Principal Slade. The pastor then introduced Slade, who had for his topic “The Teaching Profession.” He spoke follows: “Sometimes it seems almost a char- acteristic of American life that a man should advise his children and all others against entering his vocation. I fancy that no one here, coming to me for information about the calling would be very much surprised to re- ceive as advice: ‘Oh, don't be a teacher!” “So far as this tendency and this expectation means a large freedom of choice and a longing for strange obstacles to overcome, it is whole- some; so far as it means a mere spir- it of adventure and a gambiing with life’'s opportunities it is unwholesome. But I am not going into this question this evening. I am not going say to vou: ‘Don't be a teacher. I would, on the contrary, testify that in this great republic of ours, T know of no calling—and I do not except the min- istry—that offers larger opportunities for service than the calling of the public school teacher. “This question of choosing tion is both vexed and vexing- There are those who think that there is nothing in it; that, at best, the choos- ing of a vocation must be a drifting and a matter of chance. I take it that the efforts of your pastor, in ar- ranging for this series of talks, are based upon the belief that some is possible. T think that it is nly worth the while of as a voca- | every boy or girl as young manhood or young womanhood is approached to search his mind and heart to learn what he is going to do for a living. “Today our American life is very complex; and it is getting more com- plex every day. Occupations are di- vided and subdivided, and it is in- creasingly difficult for the vouth to find a place and get adjusted. Un- fortunately, it is, T suppose, very true that he often fails to find the best place,—the place for which e is best suited. Some general consider- ations may help us in this matter. Two Classes, ““All choices of vocation fall into one of two classes according to the objec The first class contains choices made with a chief regard to the money return for the service. The persons in this class often take first the place that lies nearest, and then change as other opportunities for larger money returns offer themselve: The chief interest of those in th group lies in the obtaining of the pay and the converting of the pay into the necessaries and luxuries of life: Sometimes the pay is large; sometimes, small; but, however large, or small, so long as the chief interest thus a wide gulf is made between men, § lies in the spending or the investing | ness. { long in the second group and are in- | more suce: m- | | ment. Mr. | of the pay, the person belongs in this group. Service vs, Pay, “The second class contains those choices made with a chief regard to service. The persons in the class are seeking to find each the service in which he is most interested and then to throw himself into this service, heart and soul, in order to make the service the best possible. Of this latter group there are, two subordinate groups, both made up of the best type of youth: one engaged in services, principally of a material kind; the other principally with the less tangible, services of a spiritual kind- “Now, to come to the application: if you belong in the first group, don’t think of being a teacher. You will do better for the world and for vourself in some other occupation. If you be- | terested chiefly in services about ma- | terial things into the industries or | into commercial life. You will ful and more serviceable, there. If you belong in th second group and are chiefly interested in things spiritual, consider well the cal- ling of the teacher. And if you be- long in the first group or on the ma- terial side of the second group, hear what it means to teach and supple- you must in our the work of the teacher. | Teaching, Leading Not Driving. “Teaching in i truest sense, ic the | reaching out of tae more mature soul, after the younger soul, and the attempt to lead—not drive—this soul in the way of the true, the good, and the beautiful; to make this young | soul familiar with this way; and to show it how to live, and serve, and grow. “It is certainly a high calling. With these spiritual things are combined much that is material and most inter- esting: the . organizing of school work, the organizing of mathematical and scientific knowledge; the devising of ways and means to interest the]| pupil; the famillarity with books; the fascinating processes of instruction in the practical art: the housekeeping of the school or the school shop; the organizing of play,—and the thousand and one things of. school concern. “The scholar is not necessarily a teacher. Interest in books one things: interest in boys and girls and in young men and young women is an entirely different thing. The skilled artisan is not necessarily a good teacher. There must be combined with this skill spiritual qualities in- cluding patience and interest in the pupil. “ ‘And what,’ you ask, ‘if I be- come a teacher, shall I have to feed my spirit and to make me grow? Will there not be much to darken the pic- ture? Wil not the work of your ! Spiritual guide be a mere dream?’ Teacher’s Work Not Appreciated. “There will be much to discourage. A former teacher of mine said to me, as T was about to enter the profes- sion: ‘T am glad that you are coming in; but make up your mind that much which you may do will never he ap- preciated’ And it is true. Much of the teachers’ work is not appreciated: but much deserves little and some is overestimated; but the genuine re- sponse of one soul repays for hours and hours of effort and makes for a growth in better and larger service. The teacher is dealing with persons, young and immature, self-willed, sometimes with very low ideals, with small mentality, but always persons, human and with the spark of the di- vine; his task is to make this spark | burn brighter. There is no consider- able temptation for the teacher to compromise with evil. He can be a life, is work is, by its very | nature, broadening. He is concerned with all times and with all classes. HG‘ is in touch with all sides of life; with play as well as with work. The public school teacher in a pro- gressive system. like that of New Britain, is peculiarly fortunate, for he has at his disposal, an organiza- tion and equipment whica is calculat- ed to reach all kinds of pupils and all phases of life. ! “When the great Swiss teacher, Pestalozzi, asked the great Napoleon for educational reforms the master be | American [ mind to do a small business: | Foreman’s club will be held tomorrow One of the leading manufact of merit and whose garments we wanted to close out at once.
