WILLIMANTIC CAMPGROUND, Sunday School Day With Inspiring Addresses—No Quorum_ So Officers of Women’s Soci Hold Over. Monday was Sunday School day at the camp, with forenoon and afternoon sessions. It was termed an Institute convention. The leaders were Rev. G. B. Gilbert of Middletown, Oscar A. Phelps of Hartford and Rev. J. W. Rae. general se ¢ Connecticut Sunday . Mr, Phelos in a manner presented work, givinz especial to Lesson Preparation and i Gilbert.as the man who “had been do- ing things” in his Sunday school. Mr. Gilbert took up The Boy Problem. How are we to gel the boys? he asked, Well, we may have to upset tradition and get down to natural tendencies in boys who are in early adolescence from 13 to 16. ILet us not try to make the boy fit the school, but the school fif the boy. N It the boys |want to sit in the back seat and <on’t want to sing, all right. Get a man teacher for them. We must consider their physical growth at that period, that they are impulsive, Social, energetic. restless, fighting, altruistic, s ic Self-asserting, x-repellant, hero- humorous, giggling, irreverent. He ommended the Berachdh class to satisfy the gang spirit. Keep the boys busy. He then spoke of middle adelescence, the age of imagination romance, eth- ics, sex-attraction conscience and criticism. A woman teacher will do here, for bors at that age fall in love with womanhood. Fathers should teach their boys about themselves, at these periods of their life. Mr. Rae, who was the presiding offi- cer, made brief closing remarks, Afterncon Session. At 2 p. m, Mr. Gilbert showed the way of llustrating the lesson Dy tell- ing stories. Every story -h: a be- ginning (have it short); events (keep on with successive facts); a eclimax (showing the moral); the end (very brief). Preparation in story telling needs four things—aim or purpese, cful analysis, famiMarity in expres. n, repetition. He recommended sev- eral books, ~ For various _ages he grouped stories as folows: Up to ten years of age, tell stories about chil- dren_ animals, fairy tables, myth and folklore; from ten to fourteen years of age_tell legends, fables, allegories, bi- ography histery. hero tales; from fourteen to eighteen years, love sto- ries, altruistic stories. After an offering was taken Mr. Phelps spoke of The Point of Contact in Teaching. The teacher must be prepared, have some art in teaching, a good place to teach in and some- body to teach This is not all, how- ever. Congeniality must be between pupfl and teacher. Mr, Rae closed with a talk upon the organized work in the state, illustrat- ing it with a large map of Connecti- cut.- There are 24 directors on the state Sunday school board. Business Meeting.

Monday he was resting comfortably, but was unable to move his head. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Infatuated with Theatre Singer, Bob- ert J. Marr Shoots to Pierce His Heart. Driven to desperation by love for a girl, Robert J. Mar, about 22 years of age, and a resident of Williamsville, held a revolver close to his heart at his home in that village Monday morning and fired the bullet that he had hoped would end his life. It was a 32 calibre missile and it crashed through his body and lodged in his back. from where it was later removed at the Day Kimball hospital in Put- nem. While the bullet missed the heart that it was intended to plerc it inflicted a dangerous wound fractur- ing a rib in its course. It was said after the operation that Marr had a chance of racovering. It was about 7.30 when Marr fired the shot that intended to terminate for- ever the torments of a love affair that developed while he was ac ist at the oper air t park this summer,ythe young woman singer of iliustrated songs being the object of his Infatuation. Marr had arisen about 5 a. m. for the purpose, it I8 understood, to hitch up a horse for his nephew to take his sister over to Dayville to catch a car for Putnam. When he returned from the stable he searched eut a revolver that his mother had hidden in the house, went to his rdom and later shot himself. The weapon was held so close to his body that the young man undergarment was scorched and burn- |ed by the flame from the discharge. Dr. George Barnes of Dayville and Dr. Frank P. Todd of Danieleon were sent hurry calls to come to the scene of the tragedy, and after they had given such aid as was possible under the conditions, they decided upon his re- moval to the hospita A letter found on the bureau In Robert’s room gave the clue as to cause of his determined attempt to suicide. It was written (probably Sun- day_night or just before the shooting) to Irving Barber, a Danielson young man employed in Putnam, and a friend of Marr's, and breathes in every line the pangs he suffersd from an unre- quited devotion. In the letter Robert wrote of Annie that he was not jealous of Irving, but that he could not live without her. With the letter were photographs of both Robert and Irving, and intended, like the note, for the latter. That Irving and the girl were still uppermost in his bewldered thoughts after th> shooting was indicated by his_repeated calling for the former. While Marr's condition was serious Monday night, the physicians believe if ue pleces of cloth were carried into the wound by the bullet that he will have a good chance of regaining his health. Robert has a mether, brother and sister living in Williamsville. About the Berough. Mrs. M. V. Woodworth and daughter, Miss Elizabeth, have been recent vi itors in Putnam.
