W. Cary called the meeting to order short- ly after 8 o'clock. After the report of the secretary had been read by H. W. Tibbits and ap- proved, President Cary explained (hgt the Kickerbocker Manufacturing Co., which the board had expected to come here, had been obliged to go elsewhere as the Comstock building was not in fit condition to be occupled. He also stated that the public improvements committee had been at work on the Shannon corner changes, but much as Mr. Shannon did not desire to sell and it would be mecessary to get it by condemnation, it was decided to abandon the project. The new indus- tries committee has been doing much work, and as the result the Page Co. is to retain its storehouse here, and the Franklin street property has been sold and & new factory wiil be erected The following new members were elected: Frank Hempstead, James L.

It was referred to the public improvements committee. form at New London April 8. Principal Tirrell Speaks. Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the Free Academy was then presented to speak upon the, proposed legislation relative to educition and particularly school equipment, qualification of teachers, and consolidation of districts as applied to Norwich. Mr. Tirrell presented a very clear and compre- Everyone, sald Mr. Tirrell, wants his fldren to have better advantages | than he had and one of the greatest advantages he can give them is edu- catlon, in its broadest sense, It is a debatable point whether a high school course is absolutely necessary. but all agree that the grammar school course is and practically all nations demand it up to & certaln age. A fundamental education makes the people more law- abiding and better. There are five- ninths of the children in this country forelgn born or of forelgn parentage, and the only way to make good Amer- icans of them is Dy means of the schools. The state is therefore feeling the need more and more each year of better schools. A state commission 1t states that the schools in the larg- er centers are for the most part good, while In_the rural districts they are poor. While the statement is often heard nowadays that education is not as good as it used to be, he offered e idence to show that educatlon was much better today than years ago, cif ing instances in Springfield where ex- amination papers of 60 vears ago had been given puplls of today, with the result that the pupils of today receiv- ed much better marks. Better Education Today. Principal Tirrell stated that he had tried the same plan here with exami- nations for the Academy in 1856, 1862 and 1863, which were given to the pu- pils in Broadway, West Chelsea and Greeneville schools, and the results showed @& higher average on all the pers, although the pupils were a | year or more younger than those who took the examinations originally. More were perfect and _the worst papers were Dbetter than the worst of years ago. City schools have advanced and ru- ral schools have gone backward. The commission based Its recommenda- tions on the general idea that the state compels the children to go to school | and i1s duty bound to see that the | school is fit to attend. If the condi- tions are bad the state should step in and apply the remedy. Requirements. School bulldings should b€ well ven- tilated, well }ighted and heated. They ought to be sanitary and have proper seats and the buildings should be ed- ucational in appearance and suggest, order, system and neatness, as well as displdy the patriotic emblem. Con- ditions exist in country school houses which would not be tolerated in jails. Most of the necessary tools for con- ducting & gchool are lacking there. The remedy is to make a 1aw 50 that no town shall receive state money unless the buildings satisfy the state. Even the poorest ‘hoolhouse has the best gymnasium, open lot, which is the only advantage over a city school. Qualification of Teachers. The teachers of today are poorly paid, tnexperienced and thoroughly un- fit to teach the eountry schools. They are hired by the district committee, often men who are not competent for the work, and small treasuries is an- other holdback to getting good teach- There is no supervision in the and there are much poorer teachers than in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The proposed remedy is that after January 1, 1910, that all new teachers must have state certifi- cates and that all normal graduates shall receive $12 a week and where the district qunds _will not allow it the state will pay the difference. Another requirement ig that all schools be su- pervised. Schools are often harmed by petty jealousies and incompetent comm!ttees. He recommended the early consolidation of school districts. There were 1,600 towns in New England hav. ing district systems, but only 78, and those gre in this state, retain them, the rest having gone to a better system. No one defends a district s: less he is personally interested in it. There is & great loss when each dis- trict, with possibly only 16 puplls, has to have someone to do the planning for just those 15 when & teacher can take care of 24 puplls as well as six. T district system is wasteful (n the bu: in sens There is al a great waste on the educational side In the ungraded school, a waste of teaching energy. The proposed bills would not affect chartered districts. Why Not Consclidate Here? Mr. Tirrell stated that the chlef reasons he had found ageinst consoli- dation here were that the people thought thet what has been is right and must be continued.

Consolldat 3 In throughout New England that con- solidation is the best policy. Secondly, it is sald that the mem- bers of the school committees would oppose it. He sald he didn't think this could be so, as it is an absurd idea. The third reason against it, he understood, was the financial side.| He said he wanted to arouse imterest in the plan here, and stated that if Nor- wich_should assume all the debts of the districts it could not increase the tax rate of the town one-tenth of a mill, The financial side, however, should not be the point, but the idea is to give the boy & chance. It is the business of the board of trade and town of Norwich to lift the load off the children and give those in all districts an equal chance and not limit those in a certain district and advance those in another. He urged the appointment of a committee to look the matter up to- wards a_consolidation of the districts. Ellls Raphae] asked If Mr. Tirrell aldn’t think it would be a good thing to have separate schools for boys and girls, but Mr. Tirrell .stated that he did n = Others Heard. E. A. Tracy expressed delight at the clear manner in which Mr. Tirrell handled the subject, showing how hind the times Norwich Is education ally, and the quicker consolidation comes the better. He moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Tirrell, which was voted. Supt. J. B. Stanton of the West Chelsea district spoke at length upon the benefits to be gained by passing the bills before the legislature in be- half of the supervision, state certifica- tion end the teachers' pension bill and was given much applause. Secretary Tibbits spoke of. the feel- ing of confidence in the educational committee at the legislature and said that the house was dieposed to carry out their recommendations. Freo Academy Building. Dr. Lewellyn Pratt, president of the Free Academy corporation, was asked to say something relative to the Free Academy and some of its 3 Dr. Pratt sald that the Acad- emy had been a great gift tb the com- munity and is being constantly im- proved. It has been carried on through private beneficences and towns about have realized its benefits for ndvanced education. The building has served its purpose admirably, but now it is quite inadequate, for the pupils num- ber 400, and In fairness to those In- terested, those In charge hafdly feel justified in maintalning the present cramped conditions. It 1s intended to increase the facillties for science and for commercial instruction and it will be necessary to add to the bullding at & cost of $75,000 to $80,000. There has been pledged already $30,000 and about $30,000 more is needed. Voluntary subscriptiong will be depended upon as in the past, and it is hoped that they will come in with such liberality that the work can be started this season. The work as proposed will take about ten months. Part of the old bullding will be utilized. The new part sections will be bullt around the front and rear ends, making practically a new building. In the old building will be used the two large rooms, holding about 250 pupils, on the first and sec- ond floors. The third floor will be de- voted to the sclentific department. The new sections will include the itation rooms, rooms for teachers, tol- 16t rooms, ete. general architec- tural scheme of the building will be in the shape of a letter T with the old buflding as the base of the lstter. While the structure will not be ornate it 1s intended to have it harmonize with the adjacent buildings and it will be attractive to the eye. While the work Is going on, the puplls will be cared for in Siater Memorial and Con- verse art gallery. Refreshments Served. Following the addresses the mem- bers were invited to the smaller hall, where refreshments were served, by the entertainment committes, A. 8. Spalding chairman, and greatly en- joyed. -3 LENTEN SERVICE HELD AT CHRIST CHURCH. Rev. C. J. Mason of Stonington Preached at Union Service, The midweek united service for Lent for the Episcopal churches was held Wednesday evening at Christ church with & good number attending. The service for evenirg prayer was read hy the rector, Rev. Nellson Poe Carey, as- sisted by Rev. Charles C. J. Mason rector of Calvary church, Stoningtom. who was slso the preacher for the evening. For his text Rev. Mr. Mason chose John xvi. 12: I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. In an interesting way he developed the point that this text was taken ‘rom a chapier which comprised part of the final words before the crucifixion, in which Jesus was fixing the new relations to he established af- ter the resurrection. It was a pre- lude to the Easter thought and s pointing to the resurrection. On G 'd@'s “ide there is a readincss to jm,art, but he cen only speak to minds prepared to 1eceive his truth. An application of the text may be made to many his- torieal steps in world history that the spirit of truth has brought to pass in a way that men could not have com- prehended in advance, As instances he cited the new Russia and the Russo- Japanese war, and.also right at our door the awakening conscience on those sing that are so prevalent among the divorce evil, ehild lahor, peon- , and the financial dishonesty in connection with the trusts. How could we stand the withering scorn of another sermon from the mount upon these evils. The Holy Spirit was mever more ir- resistibly at work and speaking heart to heart than at the present day. The risen Lord is still our Lord and master whose fuller unfolding to the world is to be awaited, and let us laten in these resurrection times and at the end the Holy Spirit shall lead us into all truth. Fishing in Uncas Power Co. Pond. An unfavorable report was presented in the house of the general assembly on_Wednesday to the bill prohibiting fishing in the water controfled by the Uncas Power Co. at Scotland, The chairman of the committee stated that only two appeared before the commit- tee in favor, while a great crowd op- posed it.

Subject of Bermon by Evangelist Lu- ther at First Baptist Church. Evangelist Luther's address at (e First Baptist church Wednesday eve- ning upon Life's True Starting Point, was onesof the most practical he has given Quoting the favorite maxim of the old trapper, Davy Crockett in the frontier tale of that name, “Be sure you are right, then go ahead,” he re- marked that the principle thus fiction- ized and dramatized is one that needs many a fresh emphasis in life, and Iz not likely to hecome too prominent as | a of choice or a rule of conduct among men. Many a life, the speaker thought, had proved an utter failure, if not a downright curse, because of a failure to begin rightly; and many another hed fallen far short of its possible achleyement, because of the lateness of the hour in life's day when the true starting point was discovered and made the basis of actien. Multitudes,_ sald Mr. Luther, have ighed for a Pauline conversion, mean- ing that they would see a great light, or pass through some unusual outward experience, and for lack of it have doubted the genuinenesg of thel- con- version; while many others, whose daily conduct might be much improved without rivaling God's choice saints, roll as a sweet morsel under their tongue, and never jet an opportunity pass for telling of the great things that occurred when they were convert- ed, altogether missing, however, the most important point, the really vital thing; and the speaker was waiting to hear from all such a vots in favor of & surrender like Paul's. This total surrender to and en- thronement of Christ, was the true starting point for any life that would reach its highest development and use- fulness here, and fullest and grandest fruition in the ages to come: a sur- render that recognizes first. the king- ship of Christ (Lord); second, the in- dividual obligation of the subject (Thou-me): third, the total character of the obligation (what); fourth, the practical character of the service (do). Mr. Lither earnestly urged those present to thus start their lives aright, If they had not already done #0, and to do so at once. “The subject for this evening will be If—and If Not.
