ASK FOR and GET Horlick’s ‘The Original Malted Milk Substitutes Cost YOU Same Price. example of those who make splendfd use of the book. The American home is forgetting the habitual use of the ‘word of God. ‘The teacher must through moral lessons change this order of things. Another important point is the teaching of new ideas, teaching the word somewhat different than hes been paseed over and over again in the past. The teacher must find out what the people are interested in and gauge the teaching as far as possible to meet their separate indi- Vidualities. Teacher and pupfls should have the get-together epirit and develop the social element. The teacher without inspiration can have none for the pupil. The teacher who rightly en- deavors to get inspiration for others will have large returns for himself. The morning sesslon opened with praise service led by Rev. Joseph A.

FOUR ARE HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT Charged With Breaking and Entering House of Yale Scientific School.

Maynard of FEast Lyme Friday afterncon. They were accused of breakinz and entering the house of the Yale Scientific school in East Lyme and stealing bedding, uten- sils and other articles. The prisoners were arralgned before | of the Peace Maynard on acon- case from Wednesday. There was_a brief trial, during which Wal- ter Scott, caretaker of the house which was burglarizeq told of the burglary and recognized stolen articles which were recovered. His brother, Wolfert Scott, who was with him when the burglary was discovered, gave testi- mony along similar lines. The defense did not intrefluce any testimony and Justice of the Peace Maynard found probable cause for binding the accused persons over to the higher court. Bonds were fixed at $500 and o default they all wemt to Jail. Deputy Sherift Tubbs, who has been on the case for some time, made the arrests. Two of the accused were ar- rested in New London Monday night and two_were taken in Willimantic by Deputy Sherift Fitch, who was notified that they were on a Central Vermont train trying to leave the state. In the seach of the house In Fast Lyme occupied by {he Gliberts, ad- joining the Yale building, Deputy Sheriff Tubbs also located several | pieces of fewelry belonging to Mrs. Etta Tall, caretaker of the women's rest room in the Union station, at New | London, who was rebbed of a consider- able amount of money ann jéwelry at the Union station several weeks ago.

Ger- many and France, according to Miss Charlotte M. Holloway, state indus- trial investizator, who has just com- pleted a war-time investigation of labor conditions in factorles In Con- necticut. In the early part of the year Miss Holloway savs in her sum- mary that a plan to lessen the num- ber of women emploved at night was favored, but the manufacturers, ow- ing to the war, want to feel free to employ them, day or night” “Of course,” she says, “the question of night work for women has not been settied. ~More women will have to work nights before this war ends, but eventually the practice of em- ploying women at night will be abol- ished.” Miss Halloway states that the manufacturers have pald more at- tention to the conditions of their factories this year than they ever have. ~Systematic efforts have been made to improve sanitation and in case of illness to improve proper medical attention. Women are skilled in assembling cartridges, and in Inspectfon work, and they fing it easy employment, she says, and it is only a question of in Joading and priming shells. Man- ufacturers, she adds, are seriously considering the situatton which wiil arise when the men have been called to war, as no provisions have been made for the apprenticeship of women on jobs, which they may have to fill. The sense of justice of the man- ufacturers will determine whether the women will recefve the same pay a sthe man do, but Miss Holloway remarks that wth the nation going through a crisis, Jabor leaders and manufacturers in Connecticut are absolutely In accord in recognizing the need of subordinating their desires to the welfare of the state.
