LOCAL ITALIAN PEOPLE OBSERVE COLUMBUS DAY. Parade in Afternoon Followed by Concert and Dance in Evening. Columbus‘ day was fittingly cele- ‘brated by the Ttalian people of the city on Friday with a parade in the afté noon and a concert and dance in -the evening. The Italian band, which was resplendent in their new uniforms-of hlue. with brass buttons and red trim- mings, made their first public appear- ance, heading the parade in its trip about the principal streets in the busi- ness district of the city. There were about three hundred in'line, including the band. the common council and Mayor Allyn L. Brown and other city officials. The members of fhe Gari- baldl society and the Columbus society turned out in large numbers, carrying American flags and the Italian flags. A pretty feature .of the parade weTe the little girls, who were dreswed in white and carried flags. Heading the Jittle girls were two who were dressed to represent America and Liberty. Shortly beforc the organization of the parade, Bruno Pedace, president of the Garibaldi society, addressed the members of the soclety and the band, and then introduced John Ruggero of Kew London, vho extended the con- sratulations of the New London band to the local band. After this address the parade formed. At the conclusion of the parade there was a concert in Froehlichkeit hall given by the band under the direction of the leader, Prof. N. Di Jorio. The program consisted of 11 Travatore, Cavaliere Rusticana, waltzes and marches. Following the concert, the floor of the hall was cicared for dancing and an elaborate program. of dance music was played by, the band.

There were about 600 present at.the concert and dance. The band, which numbers 35 mem- bers, was presented many gifts from the people who have taken much in- terest in_its .welfare, The New Lon- don band presented the local band with a valuable gift. Michael D'Atri, who is a member of the band, was presented a scarfpin by a number of his friends. Seven new musicians were enrolled in the new bnd, bringing the number of players. up to 42. A large delegation from the Sons of Italy, the New London Italian. society, were present and extended their congratu- lation ‘The band, which is a great credit to the Italian population of this city, was organized through the efforts of the following.

Forty Schools” Represented in Gather- ing at Broadway Church. The annual convention of the New Lendon County Sunday School asso- ciation was held in the Broadway Con- gregational church Friday .with 132 delegates, representing 4¢ Sunday schools in the county. The conven- tion was presided over by Courtland Colver, who was president for the past year, and was succeeded by Rev. Ar- thur’ Varley, who is elected president for the ensuing year. At the evening session Rev. A. F. Purkiss of the Central Baptist church conducted the opening service, at which there were a large number of delegates present. : What ‘the Sfate Association Has Done for My School was the topic tipon which Stephén Pecham. super- intendent of the First Baptist Sunday school. spoke very interestinzly. Mr. Peckham told of the advantages of the state association and the good that Wwas done by it to the schools. Mr. Peckham was followet by Rev. A.S. Bush of Gales Ferry, who spoke of The Value of Teacher Training in the Sunday School. Rev. Mr. Bush's tallc was interesting and instructive. The next speaker was Rev. Arthur Varley of Taftville! who took for his tcpic Some Methods Used in My Sun- day School. Rev. Mr. Varley said effi- ciency and metkod in a Sunday school are indispensable. One of the first things necessary for a school with no friction is a_sympathetic understand- ing between the pastor and the super- intendent of the school: I follow sev- cral other metheds in my school which are proving very suacessful. We have our men’s clup, -our workers’ confer- ence and our teacher training classes: cach of these are very helpful alons Sunaay echool lines. Following Rev. Mr. Varley's talk, Prof. Edgar S. Brightman of Middle- town made an interesting address on The Enthusiasm of Knowing. Prof. Brightman spoke as follows: Enthusiasm-and knowledge are won- derful attributes if one has them to- gether and can apply” them in the right way. but there are very few who do-this. ~Being enthusiastic about the right thing is a very difficult problem. Bvery one who is enthusiastic has not necesearily knowledge and the one who has knowledge is not always enthus astic. Teacher training "gives know- ledge, but. if the teacher is mot en- trusiastic_over it the knowledge is lost, And on the other hand, the teacher may be enthusiastic but lacks the knowledge, which is almost as bad as the other way. To perfect the work in_ Sunday echools - we must have teacher training, which is knowledge. ombined with enthusiasm, which will give us results. Following Prof. Brightmans’ address, a vote of thanks was given the ladiés of the committee who served lunch and in other ways helped make the con- vention a ‘success. Also a vote of thankd was given the retiring presi- dent for his work -during -the past year. : The Morning Session. The morning session of the conven- tion opened at 10.30 o'clock with Pres- ident Cowrtland Colver presiding. Rev. J. I Selden of this city cond:icted the openting service. “The speakers from Hartford were delayed for some reasgh and did not arrive untij late, so_President Colver called on Rev. A. S. Bush of Gales Ferry, who epoke on Teacher Training in the Sunday School. - Rev-Mr. Bush spoke 2s follows: This topic might be taken up in sev- eral different ways, but that he thought that the points of interest might be taken up or ‘classified in three sep arate phases.— First, the teacher must have inspiration in’ what she is en- deavoring to teach. She must be. will- ing to extehd to the pupils her know- ledge of the lesson cheerfully and must approach the opportunity of assuming the place of a mother to her child. ‘The story must ‘e imparted with in- inspiration that will carry home the chief thought in the lesson. Second is information. This phase of teacher training is'merely a dis- tinction and not a benefit. The infor mation given fo the pupil is what will produce the effects in the child’s Character. It must be carefully studied in order to pass it on in the proper manper. Information has much to do with the results. Always bear in mind that the information imparted is the means of reaching the true character of the child. Third is the opportunities for prac- tice. The impression or Information imparted without showing the oppor- tenities for cariying out tais informa- tion passes away ‘without any benefit whatever. Always be alert to the op- portunities offered in the lesson and e it to the pupil in such forceful words that mo such opportunity will be lost. . The teaching of a lesson Is a thoughtful. sclentific art and has a large field with large elements and must not be’ coysidered lightly. Have cves to see the possibilities and us: that vislon to the best of your abilit; Promotions in Sunday School. FoHowing Rev. Shaw’s address, Mrs. L. S. Chapin was called upon to spea tc the convention -on Promotions in the Sunday school. Mrs. Chapin stated that a complete Sunday school is one that knows the spiritual needs of its body. That is one that has fully carried out the graded system in the school. The graded system s the only method Whereby the truc spiritual nseds of the school are known and with every stage of developmen* in the graded system there must be some kind of promotion. Promotion can be divided into severai fferent presupposed kinds of a Sun- day school. First, the Sunday school is presupposed to be an educatlonal institution. Second, that it is a graded schodl. In this graded school to make it complete tnere must be a graded organization. giaded _pupils, graded teachers and graded lessons. Graded organization is an organiza- tion of the Sunday school body in stich 2 manner as to accomplish the great- est good school. one knows are continually changing as the needs of a child change in the de- veloping. cording to their own age, their ability and must always be given work most suitable to them:. must - be . composed of .a ' permanent force of .officers and teachers remain- in tht community of the The graded pupils as every- They must be graded ac- The graded teachers Dorothy Secranton, F.

Therefore there should be one day in the Sunday school year apportioned to.promotion, when._ the children are sent ta the classes best sujted to their age, ability and requirement. There, should aleo be at this_promotion day the imbtallation of officers and teachers. If this school is trerefore completely graded promo- tion day is indispensable, Reaching the Last One. - The next speaker was Mrs. Mazie B. Clarke of Hartford, wh spoke on Reaching the Last One. AMrs, Clarke spoke as follows:* - " Once. upon a_ time there were four boys standing in front of a biliboard aavertising the coming of a circus, On the Dbillboard the circus was adver- tised as the greatest thing ‘in the world. “The schools afs the greatest thing in the world, said one. No, sir, said another, the churches ar the Sreatest thing in the world. Finally cne of the boys who had been listening spoke up and said: You ard all wrong, the greatest thing in the world is my father and mother.” This last boy was right. -The greatest thing s the fam- iy, and why should not the Sunday school try to reach the families as well as the children of the families? Aim to reach the last ne. Overyo! Who cannot or will not come to the school can have the privileges of a Palf hour's study of the teachers’ le son quarterlies. The home depa: ments are one of the greatest works that can be carried on in the Sunday school. It is established in such a school. 'Reach every one of these shut-ins, including the invalids, mothers unable to leave their bables, the shut-outs, consisting of trolley employes, railroad employes, and those whose employment kee them from attending and finally those who*are indifferent to Sunday schools. What will the home: department do? It will reach every one of these, and will be of the greatest assistance to the pastor of the chureh, in the family at home, and will bring about the co- operation of the parents. How are you to begin such a department? Speak to the pastor and get him to preach a special sermon on the home depart ment. Then lay plans for such an or- &anization in the Sunday school, ex- plaining what it is and what it means to the school, and then you are ready tc select a home department superin- zendent. When your organization Is complete maks a canvass ~of every church member and you will begin the greatest work that any Sunday school can accomplish. Following Miss Clarke's. address the cenvention adjourned for luneh which wasg served by the following commit- tee: Mrs. H. W.. Gallup, M: Hattie L. Carter, Miss Jane McG.
