NEW YORK PRIEST SPEAKS AT TRIDUUM SERVICE Rev. Edward J. O'Toole of New York, speaker at the second service of the tri- duum being held at St. Patrick's church, delivered a forceful sermon to the men of the parish on Choosing Between God and Things Worldly. The world cannot and does not have the right to pass judgment on the suc- cess of anyone hefe, said Rev. Fr. O'Toole. There is only one success and that is heaven. The failure leads to hell. As in sports or anything, the attainment of the highest success is"the doing away of things that are injurious. There is only one obstacle between us and God, and that.obstacle is sin. We know that sin is the turning away from God, and it is yourself wno chooses between God and things lesser. As God.wants man's choice between Him and things worldly to be voluntary, so He has given us the power to choose. The man who is wholly for himself has chosen between himsclf and God. The dishonest man chooses Letween God and money, like Judas, who betrayed his Mas- ter for 30 pieces of silver.

Also on the lists appear the names of those “to be made.” The regis- trars, Tyler D. Guy and €ornelius J. Downes, issued a request Thursday night that each voter look at the lists and see if his or her name and address appears correctly and in the right district. Any changes or corrections brought to the attention of the registrars at once will prevent much unnecessary confusion on election day. A second list containing the names of fhe new voters made between the Sth and 19th of this month will be deposited with the town clerk on Oct. 25th. The regis- ‘rars and their assistants will then hold one session Thursday, Oct. 26th, -for the fnal revision of the lists. They will be in !‘eaalon!mmSLm.unfll7D»m.onlhlt “ate. A complete set of the lists containing the names of both men and women voters snd the list of men and women “to be made” will be hung up for display in the wain hallway of the courthouse building. Plans have been made to demonstrate the use of the voting machine on the days on which the mew voters will be made. This will give the new voters an Ypportunity to learn how to use the vot- ¥1g machine. A little attention to this lmportant matter will greatly facilitate the voting on election day. _—_—_mmm PASTOR IS ORDAINED AT . MANSFIELD CENTER CHUECH An impressive service was held at the Mansfield Center church Tuesday even- ing when Roy Gilmour Pavy, pastor of the Mansfield Center and Sprirg Hill churches, was ordained to the nsnistry. A council of pastors and delegates from neighboring churches was held in the af- ternoon, at which Mr. Pavy was unani- mously recommended for the ordination.

The prelude was played by Mr. and Mrs. Neslie Nichols and Rexford Crane, and. the invocation was given by Rev. Theodore Bachelor of Willington. Rev. Boynton Merrill of Putnam read the ecripture lesson, which was followed by an anthem, The King of Love, rendered by a chorus of 14 voices. Prayer was of- fered by Rev. Newton Owen of Columbia. Thé sermon, which was of rare qual- ity, was delivered by Charles S. Brown, D. D, dean of Yale Di ity school, his theme being Unconscious influence. 1t was a sermon of unusual ower and re- markable for its simple language. An- other anthem was sung by a quartette, Mrs. E. P. Ayer, Mrs. J. N. Jacobson, G. H. Wyman and R. E. Stearns. The pray- er of ordination was by Rev. E. P. Ayer, the charge to the astor by Rev. H. S.

Lee of Hartford, who drove his Ford coupe to Norwich Thursday, came to the conclusion Thursday evening that it is a bad practice to stand alongside his gasoline tank with a lighted cigar in his hand while the tank is being refilled. Leé drove his machine to Bailey's garage on Bath street about 8.45 o'clock Thursday evening to get the tank refilled. While the tank was filling he stood alongswe with a lighted cigar in his hand. The fumes from the tank burst into flame and a hurry call was sent to the Central fire station by 'phone. The auto pumper and the deputy chief responded. A small tank of chemical ex- tinguished the flames, which had spread to the gronnd around, the sidewalk pump. There was but little damage.

PREDICTS GROTON IRON WORKS WILL YET MAKE GOOD ‘William BroSmith of Hartford, who is a member of the creditors’ committee of the Groton Iron works, is sanguine that the Groton shipbuilding plant will work out of its financial difficulties. Regarding the issue of new notes to take up those that fell due last Monday, he is quoted as saying: “Persons who hold notes of the Groton Iron works which became due Monday to the amount of about $400,000 perhaps will not relish the idea of getting only 20 per cent. in cash now and new notes for the balance in View of the fact that the Groton Iron works is not in a prosperous condition.” He added, however, that he thought the investment was safe and that the ship- building industry at the Groton Iron works would pick up and increase the revenues of the company. Mr. BroSmith said that the plant is the best shipbuild- ing plant on the Atlantic coast and the prospects of its receiving contracts for many ships in the future are very good. 1 Mr. BroSmith is a member of the cred- itors' committee and counsel for the Travelers Bank and Trust Co., trustee for the noteholders. The 80 per cent. outstanding when new notes have been issued represents §4 per cent. of the original indebtedness which the corporation carried when it went into the hands of the present management, as 20 per cent. of the original indebtedness was paid_last, spring when the six months’ notes Which became due Monday were issued. An oflicial of the Groton Iron works said that if Mr. Morse is able to pull through the present crisis the future of the yard is assured and that if he can tide over the present difficulties and ob- tain his just settlement with the govern- ment he will own free of incumbrance the Groton plant, which is valued at sev- eral million dollars. Mr. Morse put in nearly a quarter of a million of his own private funds into the Groton housing project for furnishing houses for yard employes during the years of the war con- tracts. MANUAL TRAINING AND DOMESTIC ECIENCE REPORTS Some idea of the valuable part taken by the manual tramning and domestic science departments in the education of the children in the Norwich public school may be seen from the annual re- ports of the supervisors of these two de- partments for the past school year. The reports were made to Edward J. Graham superintendent of the schools, and they have been made a part of the printed an- nual report of the Norwich schools. Fol- lowing is the manual training report as made by William C. Jones, the supervis- or: There have been some changes in the manual training work during the past year, but always I have kept in mind the welfare of the pupils in making such changes. The work has been carried on with severa lobjects in view. The correlation of shop work with other subjects is espe- cially valuable, while it seems important to emphasize the practical features of this course. less follow some line of shop work and here they get the first inkling of what will be required of them later in life. The use and care of tools are important whatever the future may hold in store for the man, but especially if the boy is to pursue a trade. There are other objects Wwhich if omitted would mean a great loss to the pupil. Every opportunity to ap- peal to the reasoning faculties is taken advantage of inductively, knowledge gained is used to gain more knowledge. Logical reasoning, 1 feel, is the best way to proceed, and what has already been learned in the grades is used as a foun- dation for a thorough training in the shop. The work for the course is selected so that each project eompleted. will ren- der the pupil more worthy to work out his next lesson. Thus a degree of inde- pendence is acquired which brings out the personality of the individual. This sug- gests a new phase of what is very valu- 3ble in that broader field known as. ‘‘vo- cational education,” and it is often pos- sible to select intelligently the future vo- cation that the boy is best adapted to. One new feature of the work was an attempt at designing. This not only in- terested the boys, but several useful arti- cles for the home were worked out In the class room. . ‘The first lesson for the eighth gryde class was devoted to a review which in- cluded the following outline: AND TO-BE-MADES Classification of tools, cutting tools, meas- Charles S. Holbroook, Mrs. George E.| | 5th and 6th. Some of the boys will doubt- | Tools— uring tols, finishing tools, and care of too] kinds of wood and their uses, fin- of different articles. About one lesson was taken up by this review, which was followed by a lesson on the actual use of the cutting and measuring tools. Following this, each pupil was allowed to select some articles to make for use in his home. In this case the pupil was charged the actual cost of material used. In cases where pupils did not care to go to this expense they ‘were given repair work to do, or they made ‘something for the school. The work of the seventh grade was commenced much the same as that of the eighth grade, except that it was given as original work rather than review work, thus requiring several more lessons be- fore the class could actually start making articles for the home. The articles made Yor the school de- partment include several sets of shelves, three foot rests, one teeter-totter, one bulletin board, severil picture frames, several boxes for kindergaften blocks, one cabinet for kindergarten, five window boxes, nine window boards, chalk trays for blackboards and supply eloset. The articles repaired include 21 chairs, seven doors, three seats, two desks, one typewriter desk, one small kind&rga: rten table, two stands for oathetic fields, sev- eral window boxes, one dictionary stand. The list of articles made and taken homie by the boys includes key racks, hat and coat rack, ironing boards, flower stands, foot stools, small tables, book shelves, medicine cabinet, picture frames, screen frames, bird houses, skiis, umbrella rack. It seems necessary for boys in shop work to have some knowledge of me- chanical drawing as well as ability to read blue prints. With this object in view, I have provided blue prints of each article made in the shop. From these blue prints the boys have gained a very good idea of this subject. From this method I feel that they will soon acquire the ability to prepare a drawing of the articte they wish to make in the shop.
