Charles V. James, chairman of the clvic bureay, who in turn introduced the speaker of the evening. President Somers said: Ladies and Gentlemen: It is pleasing to the officers of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce to see 50 many here tonight. The mis- sion of the Chamber of Commerce is to arouse the business men to a realiza- tion of the necessity for co-operation for the protection and promotion of their interests. To find how it is prace ticable to obtain this co-operation in a manner that appeal to the highest ideal founded upon the best principles of American citizenship. To enter the one's vision and exalt one's ideals. Its work has hardly begun, yet its growth in members and the eoniidence it has won throughout the state is marvel- ous. Our five bureaus are working for a better Norwich. Arrangements for this evening’s entertainment were made through our civic bureau, and I take pleasure in introducing to you the chairman, Charles V. James. Chairman James introduced Dr. Sykes to the large audience. In his opening words Dr. Sykes said: The real things of the universe, said John Keats in one of his letters, are the sun, moon and stars, and the passages of Shakespeare. It puts Shakespeare where he ought to be—among the great, permanent, beneficient Influence Dy reason of which we live and live in light, beauty and thought. * My wards tonight on Shakspeare might serve as a prologue for the Shakespearean pageant which the peo- ple of Norwich are planning to give. Our newspapers thrive upon detalls of private life. Actions are weH ad- vertised. Biography is now a great Aepartment of letters. The Elizabeth- ans had no newspapers, no biograph- ers. The details on the biography of Shakspeare are scanty and as for the life of Shakspeare there was not a single semblance of one until 93 vears after his death. First, the legal records we get in the register of his parish church at Stratford, the courts of justice, the roval accounts, stationers' register. Thus we recover the outer life, his baptism and burial, his appearance as actor and author and his business af- tairs. The second we get in his literary records—the printed testimony of his contemporaries who knew him and his plays, fellow authors and fellow- actors like Greene, Ben Johnson, Hem- ing and others. This wo recover the impression af Shakspeare’s nature and genius upon the men of his time. The third source is tradition, the hearsay stories of Shakspeare that finally_got jotted down on notebooks. In the parish register of Trinity church, Stratford, recording the bap- tism of Shakspeare, the date is April 26, 1564. _Thus, the national poet was born_in Warwickshire. the very heart of England. Warwickshire then was not quite the Warwickshire of today with its peaceful farms. It was_half forest—the forest of Arden. Scat- tored over the shire were manors of the gentry and castles of the nobility. The population was small but the town had its organized municipal life its organized rv us life, its educa tlon was or; Of that village, Shakepeace's. father, four years aftet the poet's birth, was the high bailift (or mayor). Ol Stratford gave Shakspeare his education of nature as in many of his old classics he clearly gives the es- sentials of English country life. Shakspeare mastered Latin at an ear- Iy age and people wonder at times how Shakspeare could have known so much without a college _education. For my part I wonder what college could have taught Shakspeare. far reaching ing the prompter or holdin Bhakspears put his foot to which was to lead him to the stars.

They toured England and went into Scot- land and the continent. ~Shakspeare was a barnstormer with the rest. That vivid description of Dover CIfft in Lear was written shortly after the company had visited Dover. From Shakspeare the actor to' the dramatist was an immense leap. How did he echieve it? How did he gain tho knowledge of humanity and technical skill that his plays disclose? London gave him what Stratford lacked. _The old fashioned book shops in St. Paul's church yard apd Paternoster Row ed him as public librarles and reading rooms.

The school saving bank system which was inaugurated in the pubyt schools of the city and the surround. ing towns as an experiment has de- veloped iato a large institution. At first only two of the local schools adopted the system but last fall the New London school board made it compulsory for all the schools to es- tablish savings banks. The result has proven surprising. The children are rapidly acquiring the habit of saving and several hundreds of dollars have been deposited through the system. Many children have large deposits in the Mariners’ Savings bank which is the depository of the school savings bank system and their deposits are steadily increasing. More Pay for Trolley Section Men.
