To do this is not only the right moral attitude toward our con- stituency but it is good business, speaking from a purely business standpoint. And so it is that we point out from day to day the advertising features of this paper and the advantages to be gained from keeping posted in all of the news thus presented. The spirit of advertising is different to-day from that of a few years ago. The idea no longer is to fool and to mis- represent, but to inform and to invite. And it is the constant aim of the good merchant to stick resolutely to facts, It fs this epirit ‘on the part of advertisers that makes for con- | fidence and enables us to direct the attention of our readers to the profitable practice of “ad” reading, feeling that in se deing we render them a distinct ser- vice, Beer.

Mr. Dolbeare said that the income from dues and life memberships during the past vear, $78, was the smallest sum recelved by him since he held the office of treasurer, and urged the members to be prompt in payment of dues.

F .A. in War Times. S. Alpheus Gilbert was the first speaker, and gave a most interesting talk on the perigd of 1861-5 at the Academy, when he was a student there. He spoke in part as follows: It the chairman would ke to do jus- tice to the spirit of 1861-65 he should have asked an orator, as usually ad- dresses the Grand Army veterans on Decoration da¥, and in responding to his request I can only speak in an informal way of our city and acade- my during that eventful period. The causes which led to the Civil war were the events which were inci- dent to slavery, and while the south held to the rights that had been their: for more than a century, the north had firmly disapproved of the same. The 14th of April, 1861, was called Battle Sunday and was observed by earnest prayer in all the churehes, Academy Company Organized, At a mesting of the trustees of N, F. A, helg September 20, 1863, it was voted “that a military company be formed in the Academy under the di- rection of the principal” and in- ac- cordance with this vote, a military company under ‘the name Academy Grays was organized the following month with these commissioned offi- cers: W, C, Gulliver, eaptain; BEdwd. C. Hale, first lieutenant; Frank L. Norton,. second lieutenant. A stand of one hundred muskets was obtained from the state arsenal, and placed in suitable racks on the 'third floor in the Academy building and giv- en in charge of the sergeants. Our un- iform was gray with black stripes and silver buttons, same as worn by West Point cadets, From that date the intermission heur was spent in drilling, and we found pleasure in our marching orders, prac- tising the manual of arms, and under a competent drill master soon bec#me auite profiefent. Saw Guard Duty. While the country never called on us for assistance, I remember that aft. er Rev. Dr. Gulliver of the Broadw: church had preached a particularly in- tense sermon regarding secession which was printed In the papers, a riotous mob In New York city that sympathiz- ed with the south, threatened to come to Norwich and burn his house. It was telegraphed they would arrive early the next morning on the New York boat which reached our city about six o'clock, Twelve, of the largest boys from our company were detalled as a guard for the reverend gentleman and supper we marched over to his hous on Sachem street. The guard relieved each other until midnight, when we fell asleep, resting on our arms (or otherwise) and, waking early in the morning, were much relieved to_re- celve the message that the New York boat had arrived and no rioters aboard so like the King of France we marched back again. At Grave of C. E. Breed. ‘The roll of those from our Academy who enlisteq for service is engraved in enduring bronze in this building, and time would not allow me to men- tion those illustrious names and their history, but the last public duty of cadet company of Academy Grays was in marching with muffled drum to yonder cemetery and 'ter appropri- ate exercises firing tne last volley ‘over the grave of Charles E.

He work: od st his trado during the week as & shoemaker, and Sunday exhorted his brethren as a Methodist preacher. His face wes ever radiant with happiness from Maving gained his freedom. The trustees voted in favor and she was the first colored pupil that stud- fed here. Miss Smith feveloped an excellent mind, fitted herself as a teacher and has devoted her life to the education of colored children in the city of Washington, a capable and accomplished representative of the Academy's beneficence, Mayor of New Haven, Ag an incentive to some pupil, may I allude’ to Cornelius T. Driscoll, the son of a widowed mother, who labored hard to give her boy an education. He graduated here with honors, and work- ea his way through Yale college by teaching evening school and has since been honored by election as mayor of the city of New Haven and is highly respected in his position as a lawyer.

The grounds were rendered addedly attractive by decora- tions of Japanese lanterns, and the' cool shade offered by the litile grove| provided a most welcome retreat from the warmth of the sun in the after- noon. At the rear of the gréunds was arranged a Japanese Tori gate, and In the evening the decorations were es- pecially effective. The fine greenhuoses were also open to inspection. Receiving with Mrs. Roath were Rev, and Mrs. Joel B. Slocum and Mrs. James D. Rough, president of the Far- ther Lights society, an euxiliiary of the Vineyard Workers.

He knew of a half dozen, he said, and was suspicious of several more. Mr. Case said that there had been but one death in_the class, that of 8. Winship Case. President Case speke of the enviable record established by the departed, and said that his record of accomplishments should be an in- spiration to others, For the Class of 1913, President Rdward McKay of the graduating class spoke briefly, saying that he hoped in the years to come the members of his class might be able te come before the alumni with records of which the school and the associa- Tributes to Dr. Pratt and W.

An erganization meeting of the beard of water commissioners was held on Menday evening at 7.30 o'clock in the water office with a full ateendance. Al- bert B. Comstock was chosen tempo- rary chairman and Joseph F. Williams clevk. The enly business done was the eleg- tion of a president of the board, Pat- rick F. Bray, 2d, being chesen for this Rev, Lewellyn Pratt, “ene whose hand we were always glad to grasp, whose words we gladly welcomed, whose face was a benediction te any audience, and one whose face we shail see no more, and whose words we shall no more hear” They say that corporations have no souls, but T believe that this corporation has aheart—a heart which throbs with thanksgiving for what he accomplished here in twenty vears at the head of the board of trustees, and with sorrow at the great loss by his death. Mr. Leavens told of Dr. Pratt's ex- perience as an educator and of his de- votion to the welfare of the Academy.

We cannot take the place of Dr. Pratt, but let each one of us strive to do a little more to help make the Nor- wich Free Academy a better place for those who are to come. Principal Henry A. Tirrell said that the biggest opportunity for the edu- cator was in changing the blind op- timism of vouth into the optimism which leads the person to strive for the things that are best-and highest. Mr._ Tirrell also pald a fitting tribute to Dr. Pratt. Changes in Teachers. During the coming year Mr. Tirrell sald that the Academy was to lose two teachers, Miss Parker, who s going abroad, and Miss Marjorle Browning, who s to teach at a school in Prince- ton. Miss Crocker has been secured to teach French and Miss Sutton for elementary English and mathematics. The school is growing faster than we wish, said Mr, Tirrell, and it will préb- ably' be necessary to secure other teachers when the fall term open Though 180 is the largest entering clas we have ever had. I anticipate & clas of over 200 In the fall. Five of our teachers are to go abroad this summer to further develop their abilities. In closing Mr. Tirrell spoke of the de- votion of all the teachers to their worlk. Officers Elected. The report of the nominating com- mittes, composed of Weston C. Pullen, J.
