At 2 o'clock the afternoon session of the convention was opened, presided over by Dr. G. A. Comeau, the presi- dent, whose address of welcome in Freneh was as follows: Gentlemen: It is & distinguished honor for me to extend to you a cor- dial and hearty welcome during the two days of the convention. I will not tire while you are here but will work with all my strength for your comfort during your sojourn in this city and will also second your efforts to make this nineteenth convention a success. As for the hospitality of our city, it is extended to you in the most cordial manner, and as proof we have here the father of our city, who will speak to you about this town, which only a few days ago welcomed the president of our glorious republic. f‘dontmulng in English, Dr. Comeau said: Your Honor and Delegates of the nineteenth convention of Americans having a French-Canadian origin: Gentlemen: I deem it a great privil- #ge to have the distinguished honor to Introduce to you on this particular occagion a man who needs no eulogy of mine to win your hearts, for he stands on his own record, which is spotless, a man of ability, integrity, and a believer in square dealing; a man of those sterling qualities I know him to be worthy. 1.am more than pleased to introduce to you the father of our city, and I hope that during your sojourn in Norwich you will con- tinue to merit the kind ‘consideration of the Honorable Costello Lippitt, our mayor. Mayor and Governor Heard. Mayor Lippitt's response was given in his characteristic felicitous way, as he warmly greeted and welcomed the delegates, referring with admiration to the objects of their gathering and to the value to a community of such a citnzensnip as he saw before him. Mayor Lippitt recelved a most enthu- slastic reception from the hands of the delegates. ‘When the mayer had taken his seal President Comeau introduced Governor Pothier in the following words: Gentlemen of this Convention: After the hearty and cordial welcome ex- tended to you by his honor, Mayor Lippitt, 1 feel rather embarrassed to find expression or even to couch my language in a fitting manner or even to make it acceptable on this memora- ble occasion. Yet the task has devolv- ed on me, and therefore I aecept it, knowing well that I am not equal to it. But I hrope to find you all clement enough to believe that my good will is commensurate to what I lack other- wise, but I have no words at my com- mand to express my feelings at this moment. But the man I am about to introduce to you is so mueh after your own hearts and I know that you are all so anxious to hear him, that I will be brief in my remarks to present to vyou that splendld type of American citizenship, the chief magistrate of our sister state. This high personage that 1 have the h.aur of introducing to you is no onme less than his excellency, Aram J. Pothier, governor of the state of Rhode Island. Governor Pothier's approach to the front of the platform to speak was the signal for a great outburst of applause, which broke out &t intervals as he stirred his hearers in the course of his eloquent address. Another address made. during the afterncon. was by R. A. Breault of Warren, R. L, who drew lessors from a_biograplical sketch of Rhode Is- land’s chief ‘executive: iy, Officers [Elected.

So Says New York Times Editorially in Praising Work of Free Academy Press. We have received from the manual training department of the Free Acad- emy, Norwich, Conn. a little book which has an Interest and significance quite apart from the éontents, which in themselves are pleasing, says the New York Times editorially on Mon- day. It is entitied “The Inland City,” and contains “a letter and a poem by Edmund Clarence Stedman, reprinted by tre Academy Press, wifh illustra- tions by the Norwich Art school. on the occasion of the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of the town of Norwich.” “From cover to cover,” writes the prin- cipal, “it is the work of students in our school, illustrations, composition, pre work and binding, and is representa- tive of work which can be done by boys and girls doing high school work.” it is net only“a rather good job.” as the writer says was intended, but an excellent one of which practiced crafts- men need have no occasion to be ashamed. Possibly for the good taste shown in the general makeup the In- structors may be credited, but the boys and girls have shown equal merit in their part, The nine little filustrations, including a spirited portrait of Sted- man, are unusuaily charming in com- position and done in a workmanlike manner, is satisfactory, Dbooklet were turned out of an estab- lished shop by adult hands instead of being the product of the school work of youngsters presumably from 13 to 17 years of age. We welcome the little pamphlet as proof of the kind of education which can be given to pupils of this sort.in a public schools, However bright they may be—Norwich is not exactly an average town, and from its residents we have known we should expects its pupil output to be of an unusually good sort—and however well adapted to re- ceive the ordinary book instruction, we are confident that every lad and lass The Plaut- Cadden Co.
