Whereas, the management of the
Danbury baseball team has persistent
ly refused to complete the several
series of games that have been ar
ranged at different times with the
management of the Bethel team, and
now that the season is about to close,
and since there can be no further mo-
tive for refusal, the management of
the Bethel team hereby challenges
the "Invincibles" to game to be
played Saturday, September 20, on the
White street grounds, Danbury, the
entire proceeds to go to the Danbury
hospital. The Hospital authorities
have agreed to handle the tickets and
take full charge of the receipts. The
only condition imposed is that the
umpire be disinterested person from
neither town, to be mutually agreed
upon We claim the privilege of such
an impartial game for several reasons.
Bethel has proved itself "a foeman
worthy of the STEEL" and in view of
the patronage the public has afforded
the Danbury- Bethel games, some $500,
no doubt may be realized by a worthy
Danbury institution, which surely
ought to appeal to Danbury public

riences. The one-room school should
be divided into grades; primary, inter-
mediate and grammar. A teacher
should provide catalogue Of cards
telling the school history of each
pupil, so the teacher following can
conserve what the child needs, and
make the course of study continuous.
Physicians keep card catalogues, and
when patient comes refers to it. The
skill and genius Of the children ought
to be aroused. A concert exercise,
when properly done, is as good as a
conductor of music drilling chorus.
When a teacher wants little children
to have a drill in reading have the
older pupils assist. Conditions of at
tention in older children arouses spon-
taneity. The telling of experiences is
instructive. Drill the whole school on
maps. Practice in computation should
be carried on in all the grades, also in
the high school. The other talks dur
ing the morning by Mr. Hall on At
tendance, and Mr. Hood on Supervis-
ION, were INSTRUCTIVE also. MISS Harry

THE EDUCATIONAL MEETING.

THE EDUCATIONAL MEETING.
The lectures on Friday evening in
the Town hall by Secretary Charles D.
Hine and A. B. Morrill, of the State
Normal school in New Haven were of
much interest to those who attended.
Secretary Hine gave a comparison of
this town with other towns in Con-
necticut similarly situated, showing
this town spent less on it's schools
than the other towns. Twice as much
is spent on good roads as is spent on
schools. Mr.. Morrill, brought out the
essential conditions of good schools,
the needs of the children, and of what
good teaching consisted. He said we
not only want good schools; we want
the best. Saturday the meeting was
we'll attended by the teachers. Mr..
Morrill, gave the first talk, which must
have been helpful to all the teachers
present. For part of his talk, he said
the teacher must economic time,
must make every minute count for
every child. The teacher must be

what is the best for the children. The
text book is reference. The teachers

what is Of value. In language, pupils
need practice in clear articulation and
words to talk with. Correct forms OF
speech should be drilled upon, SO as to
eliminate the "between you and L.

Board furnishes language sheets fo1
such drills. Hygiene is an important
subject - the taking care Of the

How many boys know what town
