to the square foot.
The front of the structure will be
covered with enameled glazed brick,

Gotta. An unusual amount of plate
glass will be used and the building
will be the lightest of it's type in the
city. Three elevators will be installed

geles street by las feet on Second to
a private alley 40 feet in width. The

The structure is so designed that it can
be divided into three main divisions,
each six stories in height, and each
floor divided for a separate tenant The
construction work will occupy about
eight months.
The building will be equipped with
six direct connected electric freight ell
evators, running from basement to top.

During the three weeks through which

about their home, but the revenue po-
lice found immense numbers of them

When the epidemic abated the rocks

MERIDEN TEACHERS
Will Not Be Required to Take Exam
nations on Reading and Lectures.

The Meriden Teachers associations
petition to the town school committee
requesting that examinations on read
ings and lectures be discontinued has
been replied to by Supt. w. P. Kelly,
in whose hands the entire matter was
left by the committee on schools. Mr..
Kelley complies with the teachers pc
tition in the following letter:
To the Meriden Teachers association:
Dear Friends: 1t has been repre-
snted to me as being your mature
judgment that the teachers should not
lures given under your auspices.
The first reason offered for this opin-
ion is that the nervous agitation suf-
fered by those who are examined and
the amount of time taken from school
work to put on this study, are great
enough to diminish the teachers eff
cheney in the school room.
l had hoped that this condition,
which 1 knew prevailed at first, would
disappear; that the examination would
cease to be bugbear, and that new.
habits would be formed by which the
hours of study would not thus en-.
croach on the class work of the teach!
ers. But. if this fault persists, L GER.
tainly do not wish to perpetuate it.
The second reason offered is that.
examinations are not necessary as a
means of sustaining interest in the.
work: that neither the number and
quality of the lectures and readings.
nor the number and zeal Of those pur-s
suing them, will diminish. even if the
examinations be dropped: in other
words, that the interest is self sus-s
tanning.
This is certainly a pleasing thought
to me, for when this plan was started
three years ago, I hoped for the day
when teachers would consider such
work as one of our annual courses
provides as the minimum of general
ara professional study consistent
with the teachers occupation.
In your opinion that day has now
come, and, henceforth, the power Of
initiative and the mutual encourage
ment of members is strong enough in
your association to take the place of
such artificial incentives TO examina-
tions.
1t seems to me that YOU should have
an opportunity to vindicate your be-
liefs and [ therefore make this reply
to your petition, which the commit
tee schools has referred to me-
that the Use of written examinations
on the Teachers association lectures
and readings as a promotional test will
be discontinued.
Yours respectfully,
WILLIAM P. KELLEY,
Superintendent of Schools.
