NEW BRITAIN SCHOOL HELD AS THE IDEAL Praise for Prevocational Work Here by Ilinois University Man New Britain’s Prevocational school is held up as a shining mark to which other cities embarking in similar lines ,Oof education should’ aspire by H. A. Hollister of the University of Illinois, who inspected the local school last summer. Professor Hollister mads a tour of inspection of prevocational schools all over the country and ar- rived at the conclusion that New Britain's institution was second to none. In the December number of “School and Home Education,” Professor Hol- lister pays a gratifying compliment to opinion of Professor Hollister. Praise from Another Source, “The School News,” published week- ly at Columbus, Ohio for parents of | school - children, also compliments New Britain on the success of its Pre- | vocational school. The opening para- graph of an article in the issue of | December 3 says: *“One of the most interesting schools it has been our ! privilege to visit is the Prevocational | school of New Britain Connecticut.” Later, the article says: “The genuine interest expressed in the faces of the boys and girls in the school was no- ticeable. The little sixth graders we saw in grimy overalls intent on the running of the big machines in the machine shop made a picture we shell not soon forget. The interest and courtesy of our bay guide who took us around and enlightening talks with some of the teachers linger as pleas- | ant memories but most of all we were | struck with the fact that the Ameri- | dren. About one in eight was born | in Amerlca—Polish, Scandinavias, | German, Italian, Russian, Slovak and Hungarian, if one searched, could he | picked out but the outstanding fact | was that they were American children the system adopted in the Prevoca- tional school and to its management. He was not so favorably impressed with similar schools in other cities. Concerning the New Britain schnol Drofessor Hollister writes as follows: Admirable Equipment. “I have investigated personailv the work at Norwalk and New Britain, Connecticut; the beginning made last year at Cincinnati; the junior High school work in two of the centers in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the work recently organized in Spring- figld and Quincy of our own state. “It will be our purpose which each of these typical developments has seemed to present, to analyze and crit- icise them briefly and to present cer- tain conclusions for consideration at this time. “The New Britain, Connecticut school is a segregation of the two grammar grades organized on a de- partmental basis with a prevocational attachment. The assumption is that there are certain motor-minded children who need a different treat- ment from the rest who are given mostly academic work. Two build- ings are provided, one of which |is equipped admirably for the prevoca- tional classes. This gives a distinct atmosphere to the school, and the boys and girls seem happy and con- tented in their work. In the voca- tional department the work is varied, changing to about four different types during the year. The same changes are rcpeated on a different level for the second year. Only where it is found that necessity will require the pupil to end his schooling with these tWwo years and become a breadwinner is he permitted to specialize for a vocation. The chief end in view is to enable each one to discover where e s strongest in expressing himsel® through vocational activities. To this end the teachers all study care- and compare results from time “Beyond the few cases of necessity referred to teachers and pupils are made to understand that the prevori- tional work is not to be understood as leading inevitably to the vocationa® high school. In other words a state of perfect fluidity up to the hig: school period is the aim. With tle pogsible change of transferring fl.e ihth grade to this group and contin- uing a similar flexible plan as to khe program of exercises this eems to present almost an ideal con- heption of the problem we are Adis- ussing and its solution. The esser- la] features are (1) the differential rogram with departmental instruc- jon and (2) the fluidity of the grovn lvith reference to future choices.” ew Britain’s school is compared urther on in the article to those in orwalk, Los Angeles. Cincinnati prand Rapids, Quincy and Springfield id in no case does the local institu- i suffer by this comparison, in the and wore their hallmark plainly vis- | ible.” Inquiries regarding the system and management of the Prevocational school have been received by Superin- tendent S. H. Holmes from Covington, Kentucky, and the state department of education in Minnesota.

And the only satisfaction a victim can get is to give vent to his feelings verbally, for the boy is invariably dodging around a nearby corner. One man who declined to give his name was quite painfully hurt on Park street this noon when a boy hit him with a snowball. The snowball was made with a piece of hard coal as the core and it inflicted a cut on the man’s face. ing snowballs. City Items Fdison Talking Machines. C. Pierce & Co.—advt.

Dec. 16'—~'I‘hu:I “the old nationalism is no longer the | true unit of society” was the con- | clusion expressed by Dr. Edward Krehbiel, professor of modern history at Leland Stanford University, in an | address at the Clark University con- ference on ‘“The Problems and Les- i sons of the War” today. Dr. Kreh- | biel cited conditions in various coun- tries to show that a nation is not | necessarily a geographic, racial, lin- | suistic, religious, economic or cultural | unit, and that “the influence of na- tions is not at all limited to those areas it calls its own.” rip the nation of all non-essen- ' | tials.” he said, “and subject the essen- i tials to rigid and demolishing logic, | there still remains a real if not sub- | stantal something that the average man calls his country. To him it is' the embodiment of what he regards | as the peculiar ideals, aspirations, In- | stitutions and qualities of the policical | eroup to which he belongs. It is a sentiment, a faith; the nation is some it thing spiritual. No Agreement With Facts, “But the belief or faith in the cxistence of a nation is far from being ‘n agreement with the facts: in his cconomic and cultural or intelligent existence man is largely international and only in his political being is he ' natonal. The last century has seen a cteady end enormous development of internationalism, which is a con-| venient name for the extenslon of; cach nation beyvond its boundaries, | with a resultant interweaving of the | nations. i Truc Cohesive Unity. | “The true cohesive unity is that | represented by those human interests | of every kind which draw individuals | of any geographical area into a bond | of common understanding. This new unity is increasing. The time will | come when it will be so potent and will have so influenced public thought that the nationalism will be recog- nized as an old wine bottle not fit to hold the new wine, when some form of international organization and co- operation in harmony Wwith life will be demanded.” THREE KILLED WHEN ENGINE HITS TEAM Mis Daughter Attawangan Farmer, and Daughter-in-Law Losc Lives in Accident on New Haven Road. Dayville, Dec. 16.—Eli Briere, well known Attawaugan farmer, his daughter, Rose, aged 20, and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fred Briere, | were instantly killed last night when | their team w struck by an engine | on the Norwich and Worcester branch of the New York, New Haven eu\nll | Hartford railroad. The accident oc- | curred at an unprotected grade cross- ing in the center of the village. Mr., Briere and his daughter had driven from Attawaugan to Daniel- [son to take Mrs. Briere, who was a bride of only two months, to their | home. On the way back it was nec- | cessary to cross the tracks, and it is presumed Mr. Briere, who was driv- ing, did not see or hear the engine approaching. There are no lights at !the crossing. The engine was trav- elling light, bound for Putnam. The wagon was hit squarely, and Mrs. Briere was tossed a number of feet away. Mr. Briere and his daugh- ter were found dead on cow catch- | er badly mangled. The horse was also ! killed, and the wagon smashed to | pleces. A number of accidents have occur- red at the crossing in recent vears. Coroner Bill commenced an investi- gation at once. a ! reach the house only after GOMMANDS CONN. CO. UNITY OF SOCIETY, 10 OPEN UP TRAFFIC (Continued From First Page.) cars arrived here from the Capitol city. JProgress in opening the north end line is slow. A gang of men and a horse drawn plow preceded the pow- crful electric plow but even with these forces it took over an hour to cut through from West Main street to | the railroad crossing. At this rate of { progress it will take a couple of days | to reach Francis street and there is the East Main street line to be dug out as well as Chestnut street below the junction of Stanley and the Arch strect line. | WILL MEET CASE, ! London, Dec. 16, 2:45 a. m.—The auestion of whether brokers would bs paid a commission for the sale of American securities under the plan of RReginald McKenna, chancellor of the exchequer, for the mobilization of such securities, has taken the treasury au- thorities rather by surprise, the point not having been considered before- hand at all, according to the finan- cial column of the Times. Its import- ance, however, is fully recognized now that it has been brought to no- tice, and it is stated that some ar- | rangements will be made to meet the case. ROBBERS HOLD UP TRAIN Mena, Ark., Dec. 16.—South-bound passenger train No. 1 on the Kansas City Southern railroad, was held up be- tween Eagleton and Acorn, small sta- tions near here early today by three robbers. They blew open the safe in the express car. The loot, according to railroad officials, consisted of four registered packages of small value. The passengers were not molested.

Washington, Dec. 16.—Republicans on the house ways and means com- mittee in a minority report todzy deny that the emergency revenue law is necessary because of war conditious, and assert, instead, that the treasury deficit is due mainly to tariff reduc- tions under the Underwood law.

EXPLAINS GERMAN THEORY OF STATE Professor Francke of Harvard Gives Address on “The Problems and Lessons of the War.” Worcester, Mass.,, Dec. 16.—The German theory of state was explained by Kuno Francke, professor of the history of German culture at Harvard university, in an address at the Clark university conference on “The Prob- lems and Lessons of the War" today. “This theory,” he said, “rests upon the fundamental conviction that the state is not only a protector of vested rights, not only a guardian of public safety and of social conditions that make for individual happiness, but that is is pre-eminently a moral agency superior to society, and that its principal mission is to raise the | | that concern on higher level of public consciousn: and energy. “The masses of the German peo, feel that the German cause in this needs no logical defense. They lieve that Germany has been the tim of a world-wide coalition to her of her legitimate fruits of her ui remitting toil for national organ tion. Whatever may be one's view to the historical basis for this bell there can be no doubt that it is th belief more than anything else whid is giving Germany in this war an o traordinary heroic strength.” THROUGH AT FACTORIK!
