 A delegation of Fair Haven citizens
 was present at the meeting of the board of education last evening. Their prin-
 cipal reason in appearing was to ask
 the board to give Fair Haven as pretty
 a school building as is possible. The
 Fair Haveners would very much like
 to have a building of buff brick. The committee have not decided yet, but are receiving bids with red and with
 buff brick specified. If the cost is too great for buff brick red brick will be used The Fair Haveners who appeared
 were MT. H. w. Crawford, MT. w. A.
 Warner pr. Hall. Judge Deming and
 MT. H. c. Rowland.
 MT Crawford spoke in favor of the
 buff brick, thinking this could be done with but little additional expense. The Fair Haveners left later and went to the office of William H. Allen on Church street, where they were shown the plans of the building
 Secretary c. D. Hine of the state board of education and Principal A. B. Morrill, of the Normal school appeared before the board and asked for an ad- ditional school for the training ofteach- CTS MT. Morrill, said that the present senior class of the Normal school num- bered fffty-eight. It is the intention of MT. Morrill, to give each of tn esenior normal students at least five months practice in actual teaching. The mem bers of the board expressed themselves as highly pleased with MT. Morrilrs methods. By the contract with the state tba,>New Haven district is bound to maintain for the use of the Normal school as many schools as the state board may deem necessary.
 MT. Moran asked if any objection or complaint had been made by people in the neighborhood of the schools who | have children there. No objection has been made, but in fact it is found that the children there improve. This is so because the presence of the two girls practicing in the rooms is of great as- sistance to the teacher, who is relieved of a great deal of work which she oth- erwise would have to do. The training school girls are equal to and better than vast number of teachers in the schools of Connecticut Owing to the excellent methods of MT. Merrill the girls do the teaching very well and the scholars re- ally receive benefit from these teach CTS.
