NORRIS PRIZES AWARDED. Miss Marjorie Burnham and Harry Cohen the Winners. At the Board of Trade rooms Tues- day evening four members of the sen- jor class of Willimantic High school —contestants for the Norris prizes— read their essays submitted for those prizes, and Principal Henry A. Tir of the Norwich Free Academy deliv ered an address upon Good Govern- ment. . Tirrell was introduced by Rev. William S. Beard, chairman of the en- tertainment committee of the associa- tion, and gave a most interesting talk on government, outlining somewhat of Norwich’s experiences in the past and some of the reasons for the refusal of the people of that city to adopt the commission form of government. ‘Mr. Tirrell stated he was rather in- clined to favor the city meeting plan at present, rather than a straight com- mission form. He made a plea for experience rather than theory and said the commission form of government was not a theory but the carrying into the management of a city the ideas of business which experience had taught. The chief reason for a city charter is that certain things in a business way need to be done through a city rather than through the town method of gov- ernment. The weakness of American government has been in the manage- ment of the city and its dependence upon national politics. The commis- sion plan is an attempt to put aside national politics and focus attention upon how the work was done. City government is preferably exec- utive work, is the first reason for the commission form of government, and the second reason is to divorce poli- tics from city government. \ Principal E. A. Case then introduced E. Frank Bugbee of the judges’ com- mittee, who complimented the pupils of the high shool on the fine work done by them. Sixty-two essays were submitted and the four best selected for reading Tuesday evening. The es- says were numbered only, 4nd the number; which won the first prize was 103, and 124 won the second prize. ‘W. C. Norris, donor of the prizes, delivered a short address outlining the object of the competition. Good citi- zenship is the basis of good govern- ment, said he, and a lack of good citi- zenship was the cause of the downfall of the republics of old. To contribute in a way toward the formation of bet- ter citizens and - the creation of better citizenship. was the purpose of the do- nation of these prizes. The prizes were then awarded, the first prize, $10. in gold, going to Miss Marjorie Burnham, and the second, an American flag, to Harry Cohen. The meeting was then declared ad- journed by Principal Case. Elderkin Chapter Met. The regular meeting of Anne Wood Elderkin chapter, D, A.
