Of the Board of Education of the Center School District for 1SS7-S.
To THE CITIZENS OF WATERBURY:

To THE CITIZENS OF WATERBURY:
 The Board of Education respectfully pre- sents its annual report on the condition Of the schools in the Centre District.
 Conscious that most important interests were confided to our care we gave in the course of the year much time and consider ation to the various duties consequent on full supervision of the schools. We sought to become acquainted with each grade in the entire department, and with the methods used by the different teachers, noting at the same time the various degrees of success attained.
 Speaking from the knowledge thus acquired the Board takes much pleasure in stating that throughout the District good standard obtains. In almost every room the visiting member: bcheld undoubted evidence of intelligent, earnest and success ful labor. attesting the good will and com petence of the teachers. In all the rooms a steady progress was perceptlble.
 APPEARANCE.
 The total number of names enrolled during the past year was 4,S24, being gain of 19S over the previous year. Of this increase the Elm street school received 19O. Washington and Duplin street schools show decreased attendance. The average attendance for the year was
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-09-26

As indicative of the great changes taking place ill our schools, and of the steady growth of our city, we may note that i'll ISIS. or ten years ago, the total number of chldren,registered was 2,725, giving in this decade of years an increase of 2,O99 or v per cent.
 PRIMARY ROOMS.
 In the general progress observable through out the district the primary rooms had without doubt a very large share. The efforts made by the teachers in this depart ment to relieve the monotony and lessen the fatigue which but too often mark the child's first year in school deserve recogni- tion. Busy Work' and 'Object Lessons have here received due at tention and the results obtained are grati- fvng. From what has been done we may iustlv infer that when instructors shall have fully understood the Kindergarten system of which this "Busy Work' and u Object Lessons y are a part they will be enabled to render interest ing as well as instructive the child's early days in school. The shadows which for many overhang the school room will readi- lv vanish IL is undeniable that many young children manifest reluctance to study. Yet this is unnatural in healthy child as one of the most essential attributes of his nature is desire to know; and hence it necessarily arises from imperfect training either at home or in the school . Children are naturally weak and restless, and therefore incapable alike of continued mental application and long forced jnactiv- ity. They are also impatient Of results, seeking for the harvest even in the seed time looking for the fruit whilst they are vet planting the tree. Kindergarten fully recognizing these salient features Of child life offers us the best solution of those dittl- culties which often beset the conscientious teacher in the primary rooms Of our schools
 INTERMEDIATE GLASSES.
 The Intermediate Classes are also doing good work. Too large numbers and i'm nerfect grading, arising from causes be- rrond the control of both teachers and Board, have, in some places, tended to lavxr the standard in those rooms. For fhis. however, the teachers arc ln no way rnsnonsible. In additional rooms, and in the changes introduced into the suo- dietrict of Brooklyn, the Board hopes tC find a remedy for these difficulties.
 GRAMMAR ROOMS.
 The importance of this department can not he overestimated. The interests o1 the community demand that the pupils o; this orade should do well their allotted rrn~l, Whether we consider these room: as nrenaring and establishing the tounda tio5s mon which must rest the future Himh School or College course, or, as com nletinq the school days of that large mum Der of pupils who must go forth iron them to fight the battle of life,w feel 1uilS ennvinced cllTrT nc that they are indeed vita element eTO in our course of education Their efficiency is best attained when the! j are nermitted to stand forth, not as step hing stones to higher course bnt as clearly defined goal Ii affords us much pleasure to De ape U. state that the Grammar Department Ill Cht District is fully equal to the good standaTo of previous years. A very creditapie

SENATE IN SECRET SESSION.
Discussing Resolution Calling for In-
 formation on the Chiuese Treaty.

Discussing Resolution Calling for In-
 formation on the Chiuese Treaty.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The senate yester> day afternoon had short secret session, for the purpose of considering Senator Stewarts resolution calling upon the president for the correspondence which passed between the department of state and our minister in China since the 7th inst, in relation to the treaty with the Celestial empire excluding Chinese labOrers from this country.
 Immediately after the doors of the senate were closed Mir. Stewart asked leave to with draw his resolution for the purpose he stated, of permitting Senator Edmunds to offer a substitute, which was broader and moro com- prehensive; a resolution which would en- tighten the senate upon what had transpired between the department of state and tho . United States minister to China during the last three or four days that the anti-Chinese bill was before the senate and after the senate had adopted 1t, and before it was known that the treaty pending in China had been re- jected
 Objection was made to the immediate con- sideration of the substitute, and it went over to the next secret session.

Trouble with the Priests.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-There is trouble be- tween Rev. Father Radzijewski, pastor of St. Adelberts Polish church, and his congre- gatton. Six societies, numbering TOO men, have been excluded from the church because they refused to adopt resolutions sent by the priest providing that each society shall be under the control of the archbishop and man. agement of the parish priest, who shall pre- side whenever he is present The especially obnoxious provision is that the parish priest or his assistant shall be present at all cleo tions and may reject any officer elected who does not suit him. The final resolution is to the effect that there shall be no change in the constitution or by laws without the sanction of the priest. The refusal to adopt the reso- lutions placed the societies under the ban of mo longer a Catholic society,"" and for this reason they were excluded from the church.

Tariff Bill Submitted.
Its Formal Reading will Occupy
 the Senate a Week.
MAIN POINTS ALREADY KNOWN.

Great Care Exercised to Prevent Its Pub
 lication Before Being Submitted to Sem
 ator Beck-A Call for More Informa-
 ton on the Chinese Treaty.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 - The senate finance committees tariff bill was reported to the full committee by the subcommittee yesterday and the reading of it was begun. The document is considerably longer than the Mills tariff bill, and it will take a week to complete the formal reading. Out of courtesy to the Democratic members of the committee the measure will net be made public for the present Copies of the bill, which occupies 160 pages, or three times as many ss the Mills bill, were placed in the hands of each member of the committee, but they were not allowed to carry them away. At the conclusion of the meeting they were requested to hand them to the clerk, and every copy was securely locked up
 All the secresy is in the interest of Senator Beck, who desires an opportunity to see the bill before completing his report against it, and who would feel that he had been unfairly dealt with if the bill should be given to the public without the arguments he proposes to advance
 The main points of the bill are said to be practically the same as have already been puDushed. There IS a cut of 5O per cent ln sugar and rice. The metal changes are not so heavy as at first pr posed, steel rails being cut only $1. S2 per ton, but this is understood to be only temporary, and the measure will ultimately put them at sl4, or a reduction of s per ton. Tin plate, lumber and salt are not tOuche !.
 The duty on fine wool is raised one cent per pound, but the chief changes in this schedule have been in equ hzing wools and worsteds. As the bill stands the entire tobacco tax is wiped out, but this is not final. The revised estimate of the reductions has not yet been made, but the total will rea,.;7 {, Q 00o, ,0O0.
