The committee, of which Henry A. Tirrell is chairman, recommended that the proposed building be cared for by a pubiic school committee and that it be erect- town school committec for a central school building. Because of the lukewarm enthusi- asm shown by committees and the public in general in the big victory home coming and welcome celebration which had been planned for the Fourth of July in honor of the Norwich boys who have seen service, the meeting voted to abandon the idea, and the plans, which had already been started, will be drepped at once. In the absence of President Frank J. King, the meeting was presided over by the vice president, Will L.. Stearns. Tmmediately after the meeting was called to order, E. O. Rodier presented a resolution calling for expressions of sympathy from the Chamber of Com- merce to President and Mrs. King in the death of their son, Dr. John M. King. The resolution was adopted and { the secretary instructed to send a copy to Mr. and Mrs. King. The chairman suggested that the matter of the Fournth of July celebra- tion and victory welcome to the Nor- wich boys who have been in the ser- vice be taken up for <discussion and action. Secretary Crandall said that noon that he (Mr. Peale) was of the opinion that public sentiment was against holding a celebration at this time and that both he and W. H. Hill, zeneral chairman, wanted to get some definite expression from the meeting Wednesday night. As Mr. Peale was delayed in arriv- ing at the meeting, it was decided to let the matter rest until Mr. Peale ar- rived, and go on with the other busi- ness before the members. Mohegan Trail Day. Charles W. Pearson informed the meeting that the Mohegan trail day plans are well in hand and that Web- ster is makinz elaborate preparations to entertain the eastern Connecticut tors to that city. Mr. Pearson said the outing, and that the Norwich con- tingent will probably leave this city about £.45, falling in the rear of the New London delegation as it passes é(hrouzh Norwich. Good Roads and Good Fellowship is the slogan of the day. said Mr. Pearson. He also in- formed the mee being made for an outing for the Champber of Commerce to be held some time in July. Chairman Stearns then called on Henry A. Tirrell, chairman of the committee on the memorial which it is proposed to erect in Norwich in memory of the local boys who served the war, and especially in memary of those who made the supreme sacrifice. There are a ereat many possible forms of memorials, said Mr. Tirrell. He went on to sav that the meetin should start with a definite idea that a memorial must be grected. Continuing, I think the most effective memorial 1 have ever seen in the way of a monu- ment is on*the Boston Common—the Shaw Memorial. Mr. Tirrell said the committee thought that something that could be of permanent use to the public should be crected in and that the committee had settled on a memorial hall. If such a hall were erected, it could best bhe looked after by a publie school committee. Mr. Tir- rell said that the committee had de- recommend that such a hall be erected, that it be cared for by a public school committee and that it be erected in conjunction with the plan of the town school committee for a central school building. Allyn L. Brown moved that the re- L ¥ port be accepted and the recom- fOf the Mrsbisp ot ithe -"(‘1331 mendation be adopted. His motion was the (1‘”1 term ‘.‘f“’ s :lrl;j N ”L B seconded.

Bishop of the town school committee was the first to be heard.

This would include the memorial hall of which Mr. Tirrell snoke and which would cost about $20,000. In closing, Mr. Bishon introduced Morton Snyder, state inspector of high schools. Mr. Synder said in part: In coming here this evening T come not as a representative of the state board of education but as the proxy for yvour superintendent, Mr. Graham, whose memorandum on the high school Mr. Bishop has read to yo In this capacity I shall try to present for your consideration plans which Mr. Graham has worked out, to which, with Mr. Tirrell, I have, to some extent been a party.

We are turning to the projects of peace, a better and a stronger people. You here in Norwich, as in many other towns, find* urgent need for the prompt resumption of that educa- tional progress which has been so marked a characteristic of vour town for the past six or seven years. We have come together to consider wheth- er a school-house with a worthy pub- lic auditorium will not be the most suitable form of tribute to the Norwich boys who went away. 'There can be no doubt that in such a building as is proposed the true purpose and spirit of the war will be eloquently expressed. There have been three outstanding mistakes of our common school s tem. We have largely failed to pro- vide above the sixth grade any really content in our grade work, in spite of the advance in age and change in ed in conjunction with the plan of the | Mr. Peale told him Wednesday after-| that the start would probably be made | from New London at 8 o'clock on the! morning of June 26th. the date set for| g that plans were | in the military and naval forces during | Norwtch | cided tha tit would be appropriate to! school buildings, | The others are board ! pupils under one roof, where they can | have the best possible advantage. That | be done rizht away to relieve the con-! junior the natures of our pupils, or to offer any subject matter or activity which could in the least degree be consid- ered as giving vocational direction to our pupils as they turn the age of 12 and hegin to think of.going to work. Instead we have held enthus- fastic young pre-adolescents to a routine review of subject matter which they have mostly covered, the three R’s plus geography and hygiene. This conservative policy of holding pupils on tasks already known and of giving all the same work exactly has had its logical effect in two ways; many who would have progressed under other handling have gone to sleep on the Job and fallen behind; thesc and others have inevitably left school in large numbers, many, ostensibly, because they needed to go to work, but more, practically, because they tired of school and could see nothing to it. In the third place, in the sharp dis- tinction drawn between our grammar schools and our high schools we have made the transition from one to the other so difficult in many instances as to make it most expensive in human material. These three characteristics, whatever merits there have been and these aer undenjable, have resulted in a fearful loss of children between the fifth grade and the ninth (in Nor- wich about three-quarters of those who enter the 5th) and we have had turned into our industrial life large numbers of boys and girls without any vocational knowledge or experience whatsoever. Credited With Many Benefits. The junior school is credited. and I believe jjustly, with many benefits. Tt is supposed to accomplish, and where well planned and executed does ac- complish, four things. It does give a better type of in- | struction and school life to pupils be- tween the ages of 12 and 15. It does reduce the loss of pupils from grade to grade, and the retardation of the upper grades. It does send more pupils into high school and they are better prepared for high school work. It does give a substantial vocation- al training, the amount of such train- {ing depending upon the choice of the pupil and his parents. | Ot course, the question is, Does the Inew school actually do what it is ex- | pected to do. I haye visited some 12 of these schools this year and have observed varying degrees of success. 1 have no hesitation in saying that the school does meet expectations if it is given half a chance. That is to say that the junior school makes good in | just so far as the people behind it and in it have an understanding of its possibilities and problems and dis- play breadth of view in matters of ipolicy and administration. Given a ! good building. suitably equipped, with a sufficient and capable staff of teach- . a progressive and resourceful ex- | ecutive, a liberal curriculum and a llingness to epxeriment on new and original ways of doing things, the | school is almost sure to succeed no matter what the type of children. As ia matter of fact all children of the {ages of 12 to 14 will respond to whole- some surroundnigs which appeal to | their natures. But you are especially interested to | know how this type of school will work {in Norwich and why it will be intro- (duced into your system. 1 have spent parts of several days lin your town during the past v | have driven about town, have visi {a number of your grade schools, have nspected the Academy in the reg- ular course of my duties, and have studied your school reports in detail { for seven years back. I have come to {have a profound respect for the sound | progress made in Norwich since you | consolidated and 1 have come to un- jderstand a share of the loyal attach- {ment and regard which {for the Academy. As I se now ripe and ready for another real {forward step, and I am glad that Mr. Graham has set a stiff one for you. As 1 see it, Norwich has several defi- nite needs, to be specific four, and the proposed plan is the only one which { will cover them all in a single action. You need at least one new building immediately and several before long. You need a spaciows, convenient and attractive public auditorium. You need a well organized, practical system of vocational training for a I'majority of your boys and girls. You need some remedy for the heavy rate of loss suffered in your school bove the fifth grade, especial- v between the seventh and eighth and eighth and ninth. Finally, your gen- erosity and patriotism makes you need a means of expression for the emo- tion aroused by the war, that is, a sat- isfying memorial to your soldiers, liv- ing and dead. Mr. Graham’s prescrip- | tion and gestion is a Junior High School, and in this I hearitly concur. i I sincerely believe that at this time | Mr. Graham's proposal will, if effi- ciently carried through, have a more far reaching effect on your school system than anything else you could pend money for. A new grade build- ing of the traditional type will largely effect only section of vour town. A ! junior high school will relieve conges- tion in all sections, will make better work possible in all your school, will constitute a real head to your town system, will set a pace and be a cen- ter of progressive activity toward which your pupils and teachers may {both aim. It will give you a unit around,and in relation to which you can quite definitely organize and lo-: cate the other new buildings which you will presently be censtructing. Mr. Stearns inquired wether Mr. Snyder was of the opinion that a ju- nior high schocl would induce a larger percentage of children to higher edu- cation. Mr. Snyder said he helieved it would. In answer to a question from Mr. Stearns, Mr. Tirrell said that the memorial committee endorsed the pro- position of a memorial hall with ap- propriate tablets and appropriate rec- ords and that they endorsed the idea of attaching the hall to the educational system of the town. Mr. Stearns said that personally he believes that Norwich must have a memorial of some kind and that he endorses the proposed hail. Mr. Tirrell said he understood from the town school committee that what- ever is done the school committee will | shortly have to spend about $70,000 in new buildings. Public Should Be Educated to Need. F. G. Aubrey said that he was under the impression that the schools were taking care of the children and that it was only recently that he realized the crowded conditions in the school buildings. He proposed that a com- mittee be appointed to get together and see what can be done in the way of financing the project for a new building. Mr. Aubrey said that the general public should be educated to the needs of more schools. W. F. Bogue said he was greatly in- terested in the memorial for the sol- diers and sailors. He said that no bet- ter memorial can be erected than one that can be used for educational pur- nnses. ' He. like Mr. Aubrey. thought tht the puble should be educated to the needs of the schools. Herhert R. Branche said he thought there should be a recration room pro- vided for the adults in connetcion with the memorial hall. Mr. - sajd that it has been la planned to have a recration room suit- ably fitted up in connection with the proposed buildings ° Hon. Nelson J. Ayling said that it seemed to him that the meeting had two distinct objects in mind. the first thing was to decide whether one or both are wanted and then to de- cide how the .money should he se- He said cured. There has got to be an edu- cational campaign before ten or twen- ty thousand dollars can be raised for a memorial building with the people facing a thirty-three mill tax, he said. Herbert M. Lerou called attention to .the crowded conditions of the schools, especially at High street, where chil- dren are heing taught in the halls. He said that if ‘something isn't done soon the state will take the matter up and we will have to build new schools. The meeting then voted to accept the report and.adopt the rocommendation of Mr. Tirreli's committee. Endorse Town School Committee. Mr. Leru made a motion that the Chamber of Commerce endorse the town- school committee in its plan for a $250,000 junior high schoel with an aditional memorial for the Norwich boys who have seen service. The mo- tion was carried. It was also voted that a publicity committee be appointed to work in conjunction with the town school com- mittee. g Mr. Tirrell said that the fear might be expressed that the memorial was | being used unfair to promote new schools and he suggested that the money for the memorial mizht be rais- ed B? nublic subscription. Mr. Lerou said Mr. Tirrell's suggestion was an excellent one. Luke Warm Enthusiasm. The chair then asked Mr. Peale to put the Fourth of July celebration matter before the meeting for action. Mr. Peale stated the facts in regard to the matter and said that the com- mittee felt that in view of the luke warm enthusiasm shown it might be ad- visable to abandon the idea. He said that at the first meeting of the gen- eral committee of 65 or 70 members only about twenty-five were present, and that the committee, after working a week, found matters pretty discour- aging. Heward L. Stanton, chief of the fire department, said that he realized what it means to go into a town meeting and ask for an appropriation of ten thousand dollars. Chief Stanton said he did not feel that a welcome cele- bration should be held now as the boys are not all home vet. Peace has not even been declared yet. T have several boys of the fire department still in the service. said Chief Stanton, and when i they come home I want them 40 get in | on the ceiebration. He made a motion that the meeting rescind any action taken by the Chamber of Commerce in regard to the celebration at previous meetings and his_motion was unani- mously carried. The Fourth of July celebration plans will be dropped ac- cordingly. . The meeting adjourned shortly afte! ten o’'clock. e MASS MEETING FOR COMMUNITY CENTER GIRLS of The second large mass meeting the Community Center for Girls w: held at the Community Center rooms on Main street on Wednesday evening with over 100 of the members present.
