Too much cannot be said of the ex- tremely good work of the “L'" quartet, an aggregation of four local men who can casily compete with the average vaudeville performer seen in New Britain theaters. ‘ The boys worked hard. They put their numbers across in true show- manship style and at all times feit at home upon the stage. They were never tiresome and the only fault that could possibly be found was that they did not respond to the number of encores the audience would have had them respond to.

Although ex- Governor Lowden was the sprincipal speaker on the program, great im- portance was attached to the words of Lieutenant-Governor Bingham of this state. Mr, Bingham called attention to a bill which has been introduced in the general assembly which, if enacted into legislation, would, in his opinion, seriously encroach on the authority of school officlals in the many towns in the state. He advised against adop- tion of the measure and pointed to the “little red schoolhouse” with its charm of traditions and its influence in moulding character, as a great power for good in the deveJopment of the commonwealth. 3 The speaker deplored the tendency of legislative bodies everywhere to usurp the authority of lesser bodies.
