In organizing a school and assigning duties a good teacher has many oppor- tunities of keeping this aim in view. Teachers are ever subject to special temptation 10 oyer-rate talent,-that mental endowment which saves trouble and brings repute to the school. But the highest duty is to recognize each and all abilities, even the commonplace, and to furnish full encouragement for their use. The worship of mere smart ness is often fatal to the growth of what is naturally excellent in educa- tion. The good teacher will make all pupils, the bright and dull, those of high and low estate, aware that there is room for the exercise of all their tal- ents and that the possibility of being useful is open to all.
 If education is to be improved it must be improved by the greater capacity of the teachers. The public is not actual ly indifferent, but is not really alive, and the improvement of schools can come only through the improvement of teachers. It is thrown upon them to train each new generation of children who will not only be successful in &C., tual life, but who will be more interest ed in education and its bearings than those who have gone before.
 To this end the state endeavors to in1- prove schools by literally training teachers. predict that you will be ca pable and worthy agents in this im- provement. and that the purposes of this school inspiring your work will en- ter the minds of those whom you teach, and become an anlmating force in the civic life of this good commonwealth.
 Finally, you have the pleasure of Knowing tfiat the state which has opened to you this opportunity of train- ing will follow you with solicitude and with pride. This school is the repre- sentative of the state: 1t charges you with its fame, it depends upon you to justify its establishment and mainte- nance. You cannot be a poor or indif- ferent teacher without being recreant to the state, to the school and it's ideals ais well as to your own better selves,
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-06-22

schools for it's own children and not for the children of neighboring states. You should give to your state your first and most devoted service.
 In the second place as a part of your reasonable expectations you will receive more money for teachintg than has fallen to your predecessors. In the past no public servants have been so i'll paid as teachers. The rewards of teaching have been by no means commensurate with the exertion and importance of the service and by no means equal to the rewards of every other profession or technical occupation. But the record of the fifty years to which have referred proves that in this particular there is an increase, constant though small, and that you in the five years or more of your teaching experience will share in the increment.
 Moreover, the legislature has passed an act which offers to small and poor towns to adequately relzard those who instruct their children. None of you need shrink from teaching in a country town. The country school is different, but is not worse than the city school. In many respects it is better that in your early experience you should be thrown largely upon your own re- sources.
 Success in the country school will add to your training experience with all the aspects of every school, and will bring you into close contact with the people for whose children the schools exist. A third outlook is that the apparatus, books and other appliances which make i it possible to teach instead of getting l ready to teach, are more and more find | ing their way into schools of this state. l This consideration may not present it. self to you with force at this moment l because here you have seen and used | the best appliances and material. The schools which have nothing are far too l numerous, though they are rapidly dic- ! appearing. You will enter these | schools with knowledge of what is ne- | cessary and on the wave of growing | sentiment that teachers should deter ! mine what is necessary and should be | amply supplied.
 But your greatest encouragement, | greater even than material, appliances and increased wages, will come from 1 the changed public sentiment with re- gard to your vocation. The trained teacher is no longer freak to be feared and avoided. A demand which cannot be fully supplied has arisen for expert and skillful teaching service Because of their own inaction and lack of unity teachers do not yet constitute a profes- sion. They have not asserted them selves and organized to reject the un- worthy, but they are on the road tc I professional standing. and already spe- cial preparation and study for the most important public service is appreciated and demanded. This invites and com pels larger influence and higher ideals

U. .GOY. ROBERTS ADDRESS
TO GRADUATING CLASS OF NOR-
 NAL SCHOOL.

Generous Public Spirit of the People
 An Important Point fin Teaching
 Life-Praise for Country Schools
 Teachers to Receive More Money
 Useful Suggestions.
 The following is the address delivered by Lieutenant-Governor Roberts at the graduation exercises at the State Nor nal school on Friday:
 The first thought of this occasion is that to the generosity and public spirit of this beautiful city of New Haven you are indebted for the training which in great measure constitutes your prep aration as teachers. While the state supports the school and is responsible for the outcome. and while this city ob- tains such advantage from its location here, it is worth your consideration that the facilities which you enjoy and the welcome you heTe receive proceed from the generous public spirit of the people and school officers of the city of New Haven.
 You stand to-day at a very important point in the development of your teach ing life; more important than you im- agine. The beginning of actual experi- ence is of very great significance. You are to inspire by personal contact the springing life-the children of this com monwea1th. Their best qualities are to be improved, their everyday life made useful and happy as well as their high est qualities cultivated.
 I assume that most of you were led to attend this school because, having obtained education which had equipped you to certain extent, you wished to make the best use of that equipment.
 This is fitting occasion to cast your horoscope and predict your future.
 Most of you will follow your crosen vocation-teaching- least five years, and some of you very much longer. The experience of fifty years proves that the graduates of our normal schools give to the common schools more than five of the best years of their lives-the hopeful, cheerful and ener- getic period of their human experience.
 I emphasize the expectation and sub stantial requirement that you teach in Connecticut. It may be hard to forego the larger wages and high positions which more and more are offered to those trained in our normal schools. The pre-eminent excellence of this training draws the eyes of superinten- dents and other collectors of teachers in this direction. It is right to remember that the state maintains these normal
