 At the normal school yesterday after noon the twelfth senior class of that school held it's graduating exercises. There were about 250 guests present and the small hall of the school was completely crowded. This years class is the largest that ever graduated from the school, IT receiving diplomas and 21 certificates,
 There are four normal schools in Con- necticut, New Britain, which held its graduation exercises last Wednesday; Willimantic, Danbury and New Haven, which held theirs yesterday. About half of those who graduated from the local school have already received ap- pointments in schools in Connecticut!
 The exercises began about o'clock Te programme was excellently begun by songs sung by the graduates. Ve- ronica c. Odenkirchen accompanied on the piano. and William B. Brown led the singing. The songs were as follows: 'fThe Violet" lon the Wheel and Lilly Bells Ring"
 Flavel S. Luther, president of Trim ity college of Hartford, gave an address which dwelt on the advantages which come from a teacher who has good education and who keeps up with the advance in the literary and educational world. He remarked that 1t would be a good help if a machine could be built which would hear lessons and could lessons if moving pictures and phono- graphs could be arranged to teach the pupils. But this would be automatic, uninspiring, impracticable, He said that 1t should be a teachers ambition to have the highest education necessary for teaching which is possible. They should not try to have more than one 1 profession at a time and not try to do too many different things at the same time Education and methods of teach ing change from time to time, and one should try to keep up with these changes. A teacher cannot educate a child if she does not keep up her own education at the same time. In after years the effects of her teaching will come out and The scholar will look back to her and thank her for her good work.
 MT. Luther continued that another aim of the teacher should be to help to establish among the scholars the fun damental element of being good outside the school as well as in. Order in school is better now than 1t has ever been before. There are not so many desks cut up by jackknives and cover- ed with ink as in former years. Teach the children in your school to be hon. est, faithful, obedient and kind to one another.
 The exercises were continued by two other class songs by the graduating class, Welcome Pretty Primrose" and Sing On, Sweet Bird
 Charles D. Hine of Hartford delivered the diplomas to the graduates. The programme was brought to close by the singing of America" by the au- dience.
