According te the decision arrived at by Superintendent E. J. Graham, to whom the matter of graduation exer- cises was referred by the town school committee, the schools of Norwich are to fall in line this year with the sug- gestion for greater simplicity along these lines yhich is at present being advocated in educational circles as far as grammar schools are concerned. There will be neither combined exer- cises in one place for the graduating grades of all the schools together, nor elaborate individual graduation exer- ciseg after the plan in vogue when the ity wag divided into different school districts. These were two possible plans considered. Instead there will be simpler exer- i held at each school itself whers e is a graduating grade, the eighth and ninth. This means at Broadway, Mt. Pleasant Street, Norwich Town, Occum, Wequonnoc¢, Greeneville and Yantic. When the question of graduation ex- I s under the town consolidation system came up it was found to pre- sent a large problem in a number of ways. One of these was in the matter of music. While the work being done in music is known to be up to a high standard this year, it wag easily seen that with only one instructor, it was absolutely impossible to do the special preparation which would be required to present a musical programme for several different graduations should that be the plan adopted. To prepare such a programme would either require amount of work out of school a larg 0 hours or else take the teachers’ entire time from now to graduation in prep- aration for it. This would also mean a serious encroachment upon the reg- ular school work, and it was consid- ered by the superintendent and the pervising principals that the time of both pupils and teachers was too val- uable to be so broken into. 1f a general graduating programme for all the schoois together were to be held, the question was where was a place big enough to hold it. To bring all the graduating grade classes to- gether would mean from 200 to 300 pupils, and no stage in the city would a¢commodate them, while if they were aced in the auditorium of a hall there would be little room left for the immense throng of parents and friends who would naturally want to attend such union exercises. Another phase was presented, Su- perintendent Graham explained on Tuesday, if separate and elaborate graduations along the line of the oid district plan were to be held. It would mean an expense of from $300 to $400, and it was considered that the money could be put to better uses. On the ground of expense to the parents of pupils which the more elaborate graduation exercises involved, decision was reached against that plan. It was suggeste that too much wa being made of grammar school gaduation by exercises really on a par with what i done in high schools and that the ex- tra expenses invariably put upon par- buld often be but poorly afford- | ents In reducing graduation expenses for the parents of pupils some clties are now setting the example of imposing a limit which can be spent on dresses | are adopting of $5 and some gown, at a cost the cap and , which all wear | nd which do with the rivally entirely natural, parenis show in preparing their children for grad- | °d. | nating. | | SIS | CIVIL SUPERIOR COURT SUSPENDED SESSION Case of Pendleton vs. Burchard Went Over Until Wednesday Morning.
