NORWICH HA S THE OLDEST SENATOR C. 5. Avery, 66, the Senior in This Legislature—Senator Me- i { Neil, 29, of Bridgeport at the Other End of the Mljorityi of Only Two in the House. - . ——— i Deputy Secretary of State Richard J. Dwyer has received advance proofs ot the preliminary manual énd roll of 3 eral assembly of the session sblfi;n This roll is the first official anfiduncement of the political prefer- énces of the members of the two heuses. The data from which the roll is made up is furnished by the sen- ators and representatives, so that it cin be rélied on. There has never Been any doubt of the political com- n of the senate as detéermined by the election held in November, It been known positively that the democrats had a majority of seven in the genate and the official roll now edmplétely confirms this opinion. Majority Only Two. It §s in the political preferences of the members of the house of répre- séntatives that there has been a dif- ence Of opinion. There has never n a serious doubt of the control af the house by the republicans, but there has always been a question as td the size of that party’'s majority. 1§ has been claimed that the majority Was as high as six. The majority is only two. This brings it perilously néar the vanishing point. The pilu- rality is ten. The figures are: Demo- ctats 120, republicans 130, progressives 6 and progressive republicans 2. ASKING QUESTIONS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS Hartford Superintendent Spoke on Topic at Institute at Christ Church. The second in the series of Sunday school institution under the direction of the Sunday school commission of the diocese was held Thursday evening gt Christ Episcopal church, with a g606d number present. The address was by Osear A. elps, superintendént of the Hartford Sunday School union. Rev. Richard R. Graham presided and intreduced the speaker. Asking Questions—Their Importance —and How to Ask Them, was Mr. Phelps’ topic. There are, he said, many arts which the teacher may e: ploy in his work and the art of teach- ing is In itself worth learning. Ask- ing questions is the most important part of teaching in the Sunday school. By the question the teacher can find out just how much or how little has been learned and how much has been misunderstood. A skillful teacher can teach the whole lesson without stat- ing a single fact not first obtained ffom the scholars if thay have studied the lesson. The thing of prime im- pértance is how to ask the questions. There are two sorts of questions which the teacher will use,. questions of review and questions of thought. The question of review shows the pu- pil's knowledge of past lessons, or the present lesson, and is practically the only form of question used with the small children. The second form of question requires thought, the use of logic, and is adapted only to the older scholars. As to the kind of questions to ask, the speaker said that a good question was one adapted to the scholar, to the lesson and to the lesson.plan; brief and clear, with but one possible an- pwer, to avoid confusing the child. Questions which should not be used were those with characteristics opposed to the above requirements, and lead- Ing questions, questions answerable by Yes or No, echo questions and blank to?;xl questions. e speaker made his rematrks clear by Blackboard illustration and gave a practica! demonstration of the method of carrying out his ideas, asking ques- tions and having those present ask quéstions. Thermos Plants on Night Time, The Thermos plant here has been working nights for some time. The factory in New York is also working nights, such is the crush of orders on the books, A few tourists are taking advan- tige of the mid-winter excursions to Canada, for holiday visits. e e e e I It will be seen from this that a ¢hange of one republican vote in the housé would tie the vote and a change of two would place the majority party in a minority if all the other parties were combined against it. Oldest and Youngest. It may be of interest to state that the roll shows that the oldest member of the senate in 1913 is Senator Avery of Norwich, aged 66 years, and the ! youngest is Senator McNeil of Bridge- port, who is 29 vears. The oldest and the youngest senators are democrats. | Two of the, thirty-five senators are of foreign birth, one having first! opened his eyes to the light of day in | Germany and the other in Ireland. The | percentage of republicans elected in | Hartford county is greater than that | of any other county. In New London | county it was almost a clean sweep for the democrats, the figures being six republicans ang twenty-four defn- ocrats. It is a singular fact that in Windham and New =yndon counties the same number of democrats and republicans wereé elected there being in each county eleven of each party. In three or four instances the rep- | resentatives have not replied to the request for data, and Deputy Secre- | tary Dwyer has been obliged to take | the political designation reported inm | the nomination papers.
