Management Announces This _Big Feature. 53 “Governor’s day,” sald “Billy” Beck- ‘with on his return from Hartford Tuesday night, aefter obtaining the ac- ceptance of the invitation of the New London County ‘Agricultural society to the governor to be their guest at the this fall, “will be some day. I have been figurin Bix feature, and: the plans for Governor's day have been |riod, ready for a month. But we had to keep ‘it under our hats until we re- ceived positive assurance today in Hartford that the governor would at- tend the fair on the second day, Tues- day, Sept. Tth.” “We have a programme for that day mapped out that will make the eyes of the natives bulge out. Think of it, the governor of the state at the.county fair on the old fair grounds! Why, they'll be out there in balloons look- ing over the fences. I look for an at- tendance on Governor's day of 30,000 people. Monday, the opening day of the fair, will be devoted to the labor unions, and the officials of the various labor | unions will co-operate with the fair officials in making that day a success. Tuesfla,y will be the big day, Gover- nor's day, and Wednesday will bs clean-up day, devoted to finishing the judging of the last of the axhfi:ma and the races.” Mr. Beckwith, who had been noti- fled a week ago that the governor ‘would receive him Tuesday, invited T. C. Murphy, mayor of the city, William ‘H. Cruickshank, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and ‘A. D. La- throp, president of the Agricultural so- giety, to accompany him on his trip to the Capitol City, which was made by auto. They spent a very pleasant time in the statehouse and in conversation with the governor. Mayor Murphy told him that there had not been a governor in Norwich since back in the sixties, and they prebably would not have seen one then but for the fact that Governor Buckingham was raised in the town. “I think,” said Mr. Lathrop, “that it will be a treat to the school chil- dren of our city to see what a governor really looks like.” TROLLEYMEN"S RUNS, New Choose-up Because of Change of Cars on Montville Line. Because of the change which goes into effect this morning by which only the semi-convertible steel cars and no open cars will be used on the Montville trolley line, a new choose- up of runs was necessary fot the con- ductors and motormen.

He said in on the governor's|part “Within.& Gomparatively recent pe- both, tonsciously and uncon- sciously, educational ¢hinking has taken a new directions “The name given to what may be called this philosophy of education is ‘pragmatism.’ The name is not popu- lar, but it ds.pertinent and I will use it Three Principles. “The first principle is that truth or knowledge is not something fixed and eternal which once discovered is for- ever valid and useful. If this were so, then there could be no real progress, for the only intelligible meaning of progress would consist in coming to know better the one unchangeable and eternal truth. This fallacy arises from taking the mathematical sciences as the type of all knowledge. Moreover, the idea of eternal and unchangeable truth is not verified by a consideration of the b | sciences which deal with life. “In the gecond place, this idea of an eternal or unchangeable truth assumes the existence of a ntal.ic and unpro- gressive worl tal and physical. On the other hand, we know that the worid, mental and physical, is pro- gressive and dynamic and in particu- lar that human activity counts for something in this world “From the foregoing the third posi- tion is inferred. Kn /e arises in order to better practice. Knowiedge is not fundamental and primary, but sec- ondary, since the real aim or object of lt(_newledxo ia the betterment of prac- ice. Prepare for~Social Usefulness. “Pragmatism does not admit that the development of what are called the innate potentialities of the child’s na- ture is a sufficient or accurate account of the aim of education, “The ultimate criterion or standard not merely as regards subjects but also of school methods is to be found by asking the simple question—how far ‘30 they prepare for social useful- ness? “What the state requires and what society needs of the majority of its members is practical efficlency as working citizens;' hence, both in or- ganization and ‘methodthis aim must predominate. “What the teacher-is really to do, if his work 1s to have any permanent re- sult in conduct, is to so use the vari- ous school habits such as obedience to authority, promptness in doing du- ties, industry and non-interference with the work of others, as to make the pupil realize that these are part of his equipment. The main purpose then of the acquisition of knowledge as a new factor in experience is to ald better Boc!.s.l action by individual habits. S regards Intellectual education, me emphasis in school method must be laid upon action or doing; upon the fact that the real object of the acquir- ing of knowledge and relating it to experience is to relate the new acquire- ments to the interests of the child. In fine, the only way to prepare for life is to_engage in life and to do something ‘with the knowledge which is gained. “As regards physical education, there should be such physical exercises as tend to secure motor control to the ex- tent that useful habits are confirmed and that future needs are considered. To this end, military training is the highest and best method of inculcating and confirming good habits of motor control. There may be games, plays, etc., which also involve the same prin- ciple. Formal gymnastics are not the means which are likely to realize-the ultimate aims of the school in its preparation for social life. Smaller Schools and Classes. Mr. Hine also spoke about the outer organization of the school system. He said There is need for schools of smalier size; espécially in large The real life of a school can never be developed as long as we nuvn ‘huge buildings which are found in 'many cities. “In the second place, there is need for smaller classcs in order that the teacher may becume aoquainted with the various ind 'uals and their vari- ous characteristiis and especially in order that we may introduce active London; Christianson from West Slde and Greeneville, to Central FW fro; age; Desmarals, 3 to New London and Willlmantic; Side and Greeneville to Yantic lne; Maynard, from New London and "Wil- limantic_to West Side and Greene- ville; May, from New London and Taftville to/Boswell avenue and Laurel Hill;' Lund, from -spara.list o New London line.

Monday afternoon a baseball team composed of supervisors went up against a team representing the fac- ulty of the Connecticut Agricultural college. The college team won by a score of 7 to 6. Professor Warner did the twirling for the college team and Superintendent Chittenden was on the mound for the supervisors. Brundage and Storrs were on the receiving ends of the batteries. Another game be- tween the same teams will be played on Wednesday afternoon. PRINCIPAL TIRRELL SPOKE AT LIBRARY INSTITUTE. His Topic, “The Most .Wonderful of Mechanisims.” At the library institute at Storrs, Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the Nor- wich Free Academy was a speaker on Monday afternoon upon the topic, “The Most Wonderful of Mechanisms.” In discussing the wonders of the world of discovery and invention, Mr. Tirrell defined a genius as the man who shows to us the things which are self-evident after we have been shown. The genius is the one who does the little more, which is just beyond the reach of the ordinary man. He is not so far beyond the ordinary men but that they c#h appreciate hig accom- plishments. G Mr. Tirrell considered the book the most wonderfcl of all human con- trivances, because it has the most deli cate work to do in recordihg, preserv- ing and transmitting the waves of thought. He considered the material 1’!1I!UMMI" Ho L ,‘\ e T h from which books hve been made; clay, papyrus, parchment, and finally paper; the forms of books from early days tablets, rolls, waxen sheets in the form of our books, and finally books as we know them; the making of the books by epgraving, reeds dipped in pigment, quill pens, and finally print- ing from movable types; the develop- ment of the alphabet from picture writing. He closed by the statement that we are all self-finished, we fail to accomplish that which we should accomplish, and the only way to com- plete cursclves and to add to our ac- complishments is by receiving and ab- sorbing that which has been transmit- ted to us by this most wonderful of mechanisms. At the morning session that day Miss Hadley gave instruction in some of the more difficult points in catalog- ing and at the afternoon session Miss Alice Shepard, assistant librarian, Springfield, Mass., gave a lecture on “The Librarian’s Outlook.” Miss Shepard compared the li- brarian’s work to a house, of necessi- ty a house of routine, from which one must look out to get relief. The windows of the house are: First, the window of recreation; second, the window opening into the world of books, personal reading; the windows in the. tower, I north, south, east and west, which show us peoplé and how to come into sympa- |- thetic contact with them; these win- dows give us an outlook upon our fel- low men, their personal interests as indiivduals, and their collective inter- ests as a town. 'We must look north, south, east and wegt, for we must meet and mingle with many kinds of le. Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 State Sec., A ]‘l’m" R T |I|" Teacher, Point s Crowiad retary of Education Hine spoke on “The Advantages of Having Few Books.” Following this talk JMiss Miss Hadley gave a talk on “Reference books and reference work.” Wednes- day afternoon at 2.30 Mr. Frank G. ‘Willcox, librarian, Holyoke, Mass., will lecture on “Our Widest Field.
