America must readjust herself and place art on its war footing. There should be a cam- paign of education to enlist public ir- erest, industrial art schools, furniture, sgi‘n, lace, pottery and textiles. This edu should be begun at ca plished. An open letter to the art teachers of the country, written for the same magazine by Joseph Pennell, the art- ist, ehowed the crying need, according to this great critit, of schools to train and fully equip an art student in- il branches of his work. Mr. Pennell claims that the only art adequately tausht in America is architecture.) Ameriean illustrations and engrav- ings, so he says, are commonp'ace, simply because there are so few,really practical schools, or instructors to teach in. them. Illustrations look as though they were made after an art formula as taught by a correspondence echool. Today the only practical achools of illustration are newspaps offices. America led the world in en- graving and illustrating _twenty*fiv. years ago but now is entirely oual of 1L, though there never was such a chance for the artists as today. There are 34,511 artists and designers in this country, with practically not more than thirty-four who can do adequate woric as teachers. We must remedy this by cstablishing - technical art scheols asi they do in Burope—supplying with teachers who. know how to The government must be indue: establish training schools for crafts- men, or elso we shall perish as an artistic nation. - The instructive evening’s reading closed with a reply to Joseph Pennclj's letter, written by J. P. Haney, director of fine arts in the New York schools, in which the author places the fault for so much art deficiency, not on the teachers’ ability, but on the federal government, which will not.finance and establish industrial schools. Mr Haney claims too that as the manu- facturers will benefit by any improve- ment in design, they should help jound national training schools and pledge themselves to provide openinss in their own establishments for the designers and craftsmen who are properly train- ed in such schools. Then, and only then, when trade has joined hands with and shown the right tende: support the proper training of desic shall the mobilization of art along in- dustrial lines be accomplished in America. them FOUR-MINUTE SPEAKERS ON WHAT WE HAVE WON The four-minute speakers at the theatres this week, under direction of Allyn L, Brown, chairman, spoke on Monday night upon the topic What We Have Won. The same topic will be used for Tuesday night, while War Savings Stamps will be the subjects for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Rev. W. H. Kennedy spoke at the Auditorium on Monday night, Willaim H. McGuinness at the Breed and Rev, C. H. Ricketts at the Davis. ‘The following is the schedule for the vest of the week: Tuesday, Dec. 10—A. Morin, Audi- torium; C. L. Stewart, Breed; C. V. James, Davis. ‘Wednesday, Dec. 11—Rev. - Arthur Varley, Hillcrest, Taftville; E. W, Per- kins, Auditorium; Rev. A. F. Purkiss, Breed; A. Morin, Davis. Thursday, Dec. 12—C. V. James, Au- ditorium; E. W, Perkins, Breed; C. L. Stewart, Davis. Friday, Dec. 13—A. F. Libby, Audi- torium; H. A. Tirrell, Breed; W. H. McuGinness, Davis® Saturday, Dee. 14—Rev. C. Rick- etts, Auditoriu A. F. Libby, Breed; James L. Case, Davis; Rev. U. O. Bellerose, Hillcrest, Taftville. Some of the thoughts which the speakers are bringing home to their audiences under the talks on What We Have Won are the following: In announcing to congress the sign- ing of the armistice, President Wilson said: “Everything for which America has fought has been accomplished During the next seven days the four- minute men of the government will devote their speeches to reviewing the war aims of America and to demon- strating just how those aims were ac- complished when the enemies and the allied powers agreed to base the future world peace on Americ: war ain as expressed in the famous fourteen points of Jan. 8, 1918, in the subse- quent four fundamental principles of Feb. 11th and in the four summary pdragraphs of July 4th. The bulletin of information sent out from nationial headquarters of four- minute men in Washington is entitled What Have We Won? and goes into the subject of American influence on world peace very thoroughly. “America’s contribution was not merely furnishing theforce that turn- ed the tide of battle at Chateau Thier- Tv; it was in furnishing forces that draw from the past and reach into the future.” The bulletin continues to de- fine these forces in the following termas: “The United States, as the eldest of democracies, gave first impulse to the movement which in the last hundred years has spread throughoit the world and which within a few ewift weeks has swept the last of the ab: lute monarchs from their thrones. “America first declared the doctrine that all men are created free and equal in their citizenship, which has been the seed and ferment of democracy. “America first declared that govern- ments derive their'just powers from the consent of the governed. which all the world today acknpwledges to be the only sound basis. “The United States first proclaimed the doctrine that conquest by a foreign power upon any part of this continent would be ar offense against this gov> ernment. That doctrine, amplified by a long line of American presidents, has led the world’s thought to the present day belief, acknowledged ev- erywhere, that every state has the right to work out its own destiny. That is now recognized throughout the world as the only sound basis for in- ternational law.” The four-minute men will trace the development of the Monroe doctrine to its complete culminatién in a basis upon which will be ibuilt the fture peace of the worid, which basis has been abbreviated by its author into & single sentence: “The reign of law, based on the con- sent of the governed, sustained by the organized opinion of mankin These three principles are funda- mentel in the American democracy; Ahey are now fated to become funda- mental in that world democracy which America’s blood might have helped to secure. This theme will be developed and elucidated in the four-minute men's messages during the next seven davs. HEBREW YOUNG WOMEN ADMIT NEW MEMBERS The Y. W, H. A. heid a ‘meeting on Monday evening at the Y. ‘W, H. A, rooms. There was a large attesggnce and many business matters were tis- cussed. ‘Several new members_were admitted.

When : at the beginning of this long period 1} entered upon the duties ponnected with i this office I had one purpose | ‘which I have sought through the years to fulfill, the purpose to make this; Dulpit a vantage point for magnifying Jesus Christ, and interpreting through Him the mind and will of God. H It has been a joy to accept this challenge from my Master, a joy al-| loyed only by my consciousness of all! too frequent failure adequately to ex-| ecute the task. In my estimation the time has come when this pastoral relationship should be dissolved. For a long time past| the claims of the Y. M. C. A. service in France have made strong appeal to me, and under the conviction that God has a great work for His ser- vants under the very peculiar and exceptional conditions that prevail there today, Igsubmit my resignation es pastor of this-chureh, to take place Jan. ist, 1919, or as early thereafter as shall be mutually convenient. I cannot close these words without expressing my high appreciation of the many warm friendships that have been formed, and my assurance that they will not be forgotten in the changing years to come. Cordially, your pastor, GEORGE H. EWING. Rev. Mr. Ewing intends going to France the early part of next year to i do missionary work among the Chinese there, as he speaks French and the Chinese lansuage fluently. He was a missionary in China before coming to Norwich. At the Sheltering Arms service on Sunday afternoon Rev. [Franmcis H. Rose was the officiating clergyman. The subject of Rev. Mr. Rose’s dis- course was old people and their char- acteristics, He referred to the differ- ent type of old people, and the ‘con- trast between men and women as they advance in vears, giving several illus- trations of old people he had known and heard of. ~Some are disagreeable, selfish and childish, even refuse favors that they might do, give other people the impression they are neglected and abused, always whining and complain- ing about their troubles, their aches and pains, and causing distress for those about them. Then there are the kind of old people who are,a pleasure to meet and have around us, always pleasant and thoughtful of others, looking on the bright side of life and displaying sunshine in _their homes, that others may enjoy that sunshine, in other words, sweetness of charac- ter. Rev. Mr. Rose referred to onme woman in particular who during his course at_the Norwich Free Academy was a resident of Town street; he fre quently called at her house to play and sinig to her, and help brighten her days, a3 she was and had been an in- xalid for years, but who later recov- ered sufficiently to get out somewhat. Though a great sufferer, she never complained, never distressed _others with her ills, always patient, display- ing faith, courage fand sunshine. It was real pleasure fo be in her com- pany. In closing, Rev. Mr. Rose ad- vised his listeners to find cheerful things to think and talk about, keep busy, and so be happy and make others happy. Hymns from the Methodist song book were sung, Mrs, Frederick H. Bushpell playing the piano accompani- ments. The fine rendering of 1 Belong to the King, a duet by Mrs. Bushnell, soprano, and Miss Florence Bennett, alto, and Seeking the Lost, a trio by Mrs, Bushnell, Miss Bennett and Frank Rose, with bass solo obligato by Mr. Rose, was most pleasing to all. By special request Mrs. Bushnell sang Evening Prayer. Rev. Mr. Rose read a poem entitled Christ in Flanders, by a British soldier. The Lathrop Memorial Foreizn Mis- sionary society holds its meeting at the Johnson home Wednesday. Rev. William Crawford has returned to his home, on West Town street af- ter passing a few days with relatives in_Whitinsville, Mase. Mrs. James F.

Sage Hair that loses its color and lustre, {or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack.of sulph- ur in the hair. Our _grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive,’ use only this old-time recipe. ‘Nowadays we_ get this famous mix- ture improved by the. addition of other ingredients bY asking at any drug store. for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” Which darkens. the' hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied.

By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ‘ladies with ‘Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few ap- plications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- savings stamps during the campaign.
