was called upon, making remarks touch l ing the devotion of the faculty of the school to the advancement of the inter- ests and of the aim to maintain high stand
 ard, both in study and practical knowledge. The facilities for demonstrations in practical anatomy compared finely with those any 1 where else in the country, also as to the chemistry course. Yale commenced labora- 1 tory work in chemistry as early, if not earlier, l than any other medical institution. In some parts of pathology and other branches the 1 school stood in the front rank. The CO operation of the State Board was essential to
 the success of the school
 The hour for adjournment was here an | nounced by the toastmaster, and the conven- tion broke up with a God speed from the I chair and mutual parting words from one | and another.
 The Sunday school Convention.
 At the evening session of Wednesday of the State Sunday school convention held at New Britain, the Central church was filled to it's utmost capacity. The service of song, led 1 by Prof. Parsons, was conducted with un- common abiltyand was particularly delightful ! An address was made by Ralph Wells of New I York, upon the topic 'The Teacher Girded l and at Work" This address was mapped out ! at the start in systematic manner, and the 1 speaker kept to his clear analysis throughout \ his speech. It was crowded with suggestions. l It may be outlined as follows 1. The girding ! by Jehovah for service, with truth, faith and Holy Ghost power ?. The teaching, (a) ! with simplicity, the lesson being linked to Scripture linked to the life of the scholar linked to Jesus Christ; (b) in accordance with four laws of memory that that is remembered which is wildly received, clearly divided, re- peated over, associated; Co with adaptation l to each scholar;(d) let teaching have point j; (e) let the teaching show sympathy with the scholars 3. At work. This work does not end in the conversion of the scholars, but is training in Christian truth and Christian life. The service closed with a very fine rendering of the hymn, ''One more day's work for Jesus" Interest was given to this hymn by the statement from the chairman of the con- vention, Rev. B. M. Adams, that it was writ ten upon an incident in his own life. Some years ago he had passed through very hard Sabbath's work. At it's close he sat down to write to a friend, giving an account of the day and the resulting weariness, closing with this remark: My greatest joy is that it is one more days work for Jesus" Miss Anna Warner soon after sent MT. Adams the hymn which she had written as suggested by this incident.
 The devotional service opened the Tues day morning session, the subject being 'sForelook," Ex. viv:15 Heb. xii:3 This service was led by the Rev. c. H. Buck of the Methodist church, New Britain The first topic for discussion-'" -'"The Superintend- ent'-was opened by John J. Matthias of New Haven. His address was grouped un- der three heads, ''Who What How ?'' The superintendent should not be autocratic, giving him the impression that he is ''the boss, :" managing things without reference to anybody's suggestion. Neither should he be democratic having no policy of his own and yielding to the suggestions of everybody. But he should be most courteous, genial yielding but firm in his own policy He should be absolute, but servant of all The superintendent should lead the teachers meeting which should be a meeting for sug- gestion and teaching hints. He should ma h. age the teachers in such way as to secure the best persons and punctual, continuous attendance. He should oversee the library. reading the books himself or securing their reading by persons in whose judgment he has confidence. In regard to the relation of the superintendent to the pastor, there should be the most cordial relations between the two. the pastor assisting by suggestion and sym pathy and communion in prayer. The pastor should have @ class In the school. The ad- dress was filled with hints as to hours for the school session, details in conducting the school managing the library and winning the scholars. Mir. Matthias address called out lively discussion, in which large number of delegates participated
 The topic, ''The Sunday school secretary his work and it's value," was opened by W. H. Hall, of Norwich. He urged the impor- tance of an accurate roll of membership, a record of each session, together with re- port of each a roll of honor for punctual and regular attendance, and a record of especial events such as additions to the church.
 MT. and Mrs. Stebbins then followed with hymn, Behold what manner of- love the Father hath bestowed upon us." The work of the session resumed with the topic '"The Pastor and the School.' Rev. F. S. Hatch, of West Hartford, opened the subject with a very thoughtful and well ordered ad- dress After referring to the pastor who does not enjoy the school, the school who does not enjoy the pastor, the pastor who en- joys it too much and meddles, he took up discussion of the pastor who goes into the school for good, honest work. He will CD watch his school and watch for his school CD counsel his school (3l instruct his school in teachers meeting and in private conversa- ton.
