It was voted to donate the sum of S100 to the council of educa- tion for the use of a subordinate com mittee in their studies of history and civies
 c. H. Reyes of Hartford made a mo- tion that d sum of $10O be given to the Teachers Annuity guild. He said that old teachers who had spent the best part of their lives in teaching should be taken car in their old age, the same as mt llties look out for their firemen and policemen. He thought that there ought to also be some action taken in this matter by the state legislature. Superintendent of Schools Deans of Bridgeport opposed this motion.
 Mr. Reyes said that the plan was be- ing favored all over the union, and that most of the beneficiaries would, of course, be women.
 Superintendent of Schools Ferguson of MiddletoWn said that if this motion were voted down it would place the association in a peculiar light if at some future time they went before the state legislature in favor of the pen sion.
 The matter being put to the house the vote to give the $100 was carried by "a vote of P to 13.
