Monthly Reports. One of the greatest sources of in- efficiency in our schools is found in ir- regular attendance. Pupils regular in attendance seldom fail of promotion. Tt is not sufficient that we should know the record of our schools in this im- portant matter of attendance at the end of the school year only. It should receive the careful attention of prin- cipals and teachers continuously dur- ing the veur. A mont’ly report of the enrollment, attendan c. tardiness, transfers, mem- bership, absence of teachers, number of corporal punishments, special pro- motions, pe rcent. of atiendance etc., is received from every school at the end of each month. A summary of these statistics for each school year is prepared in the office of the super- intendent and sent to each principal that a record of all the schools may be utilized for the purpose of inform- atlon and comparison. This month- 1y report is posted in the halls or cor- ridors of the various schools for in- spection by teachers and pupils. By these means of giving publicity to the monthly records a greater concerted effort is made to lessen the inefficien- cy through tardiness and non-attend- ance. to Retardation. When the principals’ reports were receiveq in Oatober, 1915, and the age and grade chart was compiled, it was found that the retardation of pupils in our school system had been reduced 23 per cent since September, 1913, when the study was begun. ‘The principals and teachers have taken a keen interest in his subject and intel- ligent effort has been put forth to correct the fault. The needs of the individual pupils have been studied, special help has been given, thus many pupils have been promoted who other- wise would have been retained in the grade.

The course in manual training has been changed during the year. At first the pupils were required to maks a number of type forms, now each pupil is allowed and encouraged to plan and make the article in which he is interested. » With this new course the pupils have shown a much greater interest in_the work. During the winter term a group of boys from the sixth grade in the Mount Pleasant School who ‘were over-age for their grade and were losing interest in the regular school work was sent to the manual train- ing reem for one hour's work each week. The principal of the school also gave them special work in arith- metic applicable to the manpal train- ing work. The principal arfd teacher of the grade both reported that after this special work was given the boys, a marked improvement was shown in their general school work. It ig hoped that more of this special line of work may be done in the future Stereopticons, Tn school buildings where the stere- opticon lanterns are in use for the study of geography and English, the yv‘\xm!s are doing an excellent work. The geography stereographs which contain a picture and explanation of the subject to be studied are assign- ed to the different pupils for study. A few days after the stereographs have been assigned, the class is taken to the stereopticon room where the picture is thrown on the canvass. Each gives his own lecture on the lan- slide to the cl Through this e pupils are acquiring an ahil- to speak and use better English, and at the ve a more lasting mental picture of the geogra- phy work. Library Readihg in the Grades. A start has been made to establish grade and classroom libravies. We now have an approved list of supplemen- tary books. Reading is one of the most import- ant activities of the elementary schools. Pupils should be encouraged to read real good books, so as to cre- ate and cultivate a taste for reading while they are young. A love for good reading is one of the greatest acqy isitions of the elementary school life. No work done in the schools is of more lasting benefit than the de- velopment of a weil-trained taste and love for good literature. School Gardens. During tbe spring term, Garden club was organized, the ob- ject of which was to arouse interest and help the children in garden work; to give them wholesome, helpful em- ployment during the summer vacation and to teach them the dignity and the pleasure of real achievement, Medical Inspection. ‘With the establishment of medical inspection.and school fhe "vea -1916, herself line w e s systems.

The greatest need of our education- al system is a central prevocational grammar building for the seventh and eighth grades. If we could bring the upper grade pupils of our town to one center we could differentiate the i struction to meet the needs of di ferent groups of children. We have broadened our grammar grades by adding manual training and domwstic science, but this is not sufficient to meet the present day needs of our chil dren, many of whom leave school at an early age because the school does not give them industrial opportuni- ties. Some leave school because of the attraction of wages or necessity, but many chiefly, because they have natural inclinations that lead #way. For those not destined ultimately to enter the professions, such pupils would remain in school longer and re- ceive more adequafe training if the change on 24 conditions te, school offered alongside the regular work parallel courses in industrial, commercial and domestic instruction. The advantages of such an organ- ization would be: 1. Differentiaon %f school work, at the beginning of the seventh grade 2. Departmental teaching. 3. Better teaching 4. Better equipment. 5. Enriched curriculum. 6. Promotion by subject. 7. Tmproved physical conditions for puplls. 8. Transitlon to high school atti- tude and methods. Under our present system in many of our smaller schools one teacher has to do the work of two and even more grades. It is obvious that the chil- dren in these schools do not have the adventages that the children ha where departmental work is done. No argument {5 needed to establish the fact that a teacher can become more expert in her teaching when she has to prepare upon only one subject than when she must prepare upon the whole round of subjects now taughé in the seventh and eighth grades. It, also, is an advantage to a pupil to ba taught by a teacher who is‘an expert in her particular line of work. It is an economic advantage to equip. one ischool with apparatus, rather than many schools. For instance, we now. have three schools equipped with man- ual training a us where one equipment would do if the pupils were assembled in one school building. The ng during | the results achieved. During the year various tests twere | given the Schools to the children of the different grades. Where local| NORWICH TO HAVE ANOTHER MERCHANTS’ WEEK. Retail Association Sets Dates For, October 21 to 28. At a meeting held in the Board of Trade rooms Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the directors of the Norwich Retall Merchants' asosciation voted to hold another Merchants' Week, and the dates were set for October 21 to 28, inclusive. — President Albert Boardman occupled the chair and N. Eugene Smith acted as clerk. There was an hour’s discussion of the plans under which the week ahould be carried on and it was ap- parently the sentiment of the direc- torg that the week should be devoted to the offering of especially big val- ues and that rebates of fares should | be made those who travel from out of town, in ord#: to benefit in the special offerings. The chairman called for the read- ing of the minutes of the previous meeting and these were _ approved, The report of Treasurer Leo Kronig was presented and showed a balance July 1, of $67.67 and collections for Dollar "day of $58.50. The expenses totaled $80.656 for Dollar day, leav- ing a balance on hand of $36.52, This report was accepted and placed on file. It was suggested by John M. Lee, that the matter of a Merchants' Week be considered and that the results from the past should mot be guaged by the receints of the different stores during that week alone but through the entlre year. All the advertising Norwich can get is to its advantage he belleved. Mr. Kronig suggested that from the experience in the past it appeared that the matter of enter- ing ~ features for the week had proven that the entertainments were patron- ized and that the values offered were neglected. He favored the feature of giving extraordinary values in mer- chandise. Rebating of fares was discussed at considerable length and the senti- mont prevailed that the books con- taining the names af those merchants participating in the event should be issued as on previous occasions. Last vear there were 5000 of these books printed and circulated. Then the matter of advertising was discussed and it was stated that Dollar day was largely advertised last spring but the patronage from the surrounding coun- try did not watrant a similar expendi_ ture in the opinion of some. However, this is to be Merchants’ Week, it was felt that the out of town patron- age would be larger for special in- ducements for a week’s duration than for a single day are sought by the out of_town residents. Several present strongly advocated cooperation among the merchants in the matter of rebates. The best re- sults cannot be gained if the mer- chants take up the matter of making rebates individually, it was stated. Mr. Lee moved that the matter . of having Merchants' Week be adopted and the motion was seconded and car- ried. Another motion was adopted that the rebating plan be carried out. On motion made and duly seconded the chair was authorized to appoint a committee of five on organization and a committee of three to do he advertising. The chair appointed the following committees: Organization committee — Leo Kro- nig, Will S. Stearns, Louis S. Gotte helf, William McGarry, Max Karp. Advertising committee — John Lee, Richard Lewis, Roy D. Judd. It is proposed to have a general meeting of all the merchants when these committees are ready to make reports on the work they have under- taken. There is every liklihood that the matter of canvassing the town will be done by the merchants this fall ther than to employ a representa- tive to do the work it being felt that a larze percentages of the merchants will enter the movement If this is done. Another matter that is to be considered by the organization com_ mittee is that of establishing a new rebating stand. There was consider- able enthusiasm manifest among the merchants for a Mercnants' Week to the offering of velues as was done on weelc is an- Norwich during October Local Dollar day and a lively ticipated 21-28 EMPLOYES AT STRAWBOARD PLANT WELL SATISFIED General Manager Says There Are No Signs of Trouble There. company twhere, according to General | Manager James Boyd, the men are well satisfied with the working con- | ditions at the present time. The machine which the company is dismantling will be ready for ship- ment within a week it is expected. | Owing to the tremendous demand for strawboard in the west, the company deemed it wise to send out the ma- chine which has a capacity of 25 tons of work a day. Left at the Thamesville plant are three machines which are in operation turning out on the average 100 tons a day. The company finds a big de- mand for their product here in the east and have increased their produc- tions cxtensively during the past three or_four months. Work was started at the plant ten days ago on the erection of a dock which, when completed, will afford ex. cellent shipping facilities by water. The dock when-completed will cover 1080 fect. If conditions are favorable in the future the company will erect three storehouses on the dock for the re- ceiving of the raw material and the shipping of the finished product and also an addition to the beater room will be made. New Issue of Silver Coins Indefinitely Postponed. Banks throughout the country are receiving notification from the treas- ury of the United States that the is- sue of silver coins of the new design has been indefinitely postponed, owing to mechanical difficulties which re- quire adjustment. Regret Father Murrayls Departure Of a former curate at St. Patrick’s church, Norwich, the Clinton corres- pondent of the Middletown Press writes: It was with regret that the members of St. Mary's chureh learned Sunday that their pastor, Rev. Francis Murray, had_been transferred to a new parish, St. Paul’s, in Orange. It is only a little more than three years since Father Murray came here and in that short time he has built a handsome church at a cost of about $8,000 and leaves it with a debt of less than $800. A purse of money was presenteq Father Murray, on his de- parture by the local townspeople. same argument holds true in regard to_all other lines of equipment. Somc of our buildings, especially in the West Chelsea district, are over- crowded. By taking the seventh and eighth grades from these buildings, this condition would be greatl¥ helped. This type or qrganization has al- ready been introdueed into many of our schoo] systems - throughout the country. It {s no experiment. It is a success wherever used.

Capt. Frederick Hinsch, master of the German steamship Neckar, now Iying in Baltimore harbor, and chief official in charge of the arrangements for docking the expeeted Teutonic sub- mersible at New London, should be and probably is in a position to know as much of the movements of the mys- terious under-sea craft as anybody on this side of the Atlantic. That he. is expecting a glimpse of the much-de- sired periscope hourly is evident from the fact that he spent Wednesday night on the Sound in one of the Scott tugs, came in Thursday morning for a brief interval, and soon put out again to resume his vigil. Following the tug in a launch_was the well known group of New York and Boston newspapermen who have been there so long they are now be- ginning to look upon New London as a second home. They have nothing out words of praise for the city, but the enforced inactivity is commencing to pall on them. They likewise desire to emphasize the threat Wednesday that they will commit ferocious as- sault on the next individual who sar- castically inquires, “Where is the Bre- men ? The submersible is expected hourly and all is in readiness for her arrival. Stories published in New York pa- pers Thursday that one German sub- marine merchantman had been sight- ed oft_the Virginia capes and another near Portland, Me, were regarded by officials here as amusing, to say the least.

At Hartford they were joined by Mrs. Davis, the party planning to spend Thursday night in Albany. Mr. and Mrs. Mabrey will visit their son-in-law and daugh- ter, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest G. Champlin, in Syrzcuse, and Miss Backus, who is Mrs. Champlin's step-sister, will be their guest also: They expect to be absent about two weels. Married by Archdeacon Brown. The wedding of Miss Edna Elizabeth Potter, daughter of Mr. and _Mrs. James T. Potter, and John J. Scha- prowe of New London, was held Wed- nesday evening at 6 o'clock at the residence of the bride’s parents in Willetts avenue. It Avas a charming affair. The ceremony was performed by Archdeacon J. Kldred Brown of this city in the presence of 60 rela- tives and intimate friends. Most of these gathered at the Union station when the newlyweds left on their hon- eymoon trip and gave them a rousing send-off. TAFTVILLE Taftville Baskotball Team Holds a Meeting to Plan for Coming Season —School to Open Monday—Person- als and Note: At a meeting of the Taftville bas- ketball team held in the Pinochle rooms Wednesday evening Manager Arthur Roy of last year's team presided. No definite plans were de- cided upon but the meeting was for the purpose of getting a line on some promising_material for the coming season. It is hoped that the team will be as strong as last year's. Vick- ory who played such a stellar game at center last season, will in all prob- ability be out of the game this year owing to an injury received this sum- mer. ' Of the old team there will be Murphy, Hasler and White left. A call has been sent out by the management for players and those who would like to try for the team should notify Manager Roy immediate~ Iy. Also the team as vet is without an appropriate name. ~The meeting decided to let the fans pick the name. All fans are requested to think of a name which they think would be suit- able for a basketball team and write and address to Manager Roy. A com- mittee will be appointed to open_the letters and decide on the name. First practice will be announced later.
