 At the state encampment- of the C.. A R. in New Haven, Tuesday, the annual report of c. A. Potter patriotic instructor for Connecticut, was read. In it he said:

 have received letters from post patriotic instructors occasionally as to what their duties are.

This is, in fact, the duty of every comrade.

We would better visit them every time they pre- sent patriotic programs, not necesSar- fly for the sake of talking in school but to thank them and listen to their exercises. He who undertakes to talk much in school has need of pretty good judgment. It is at all times in order, however, to encourage both teachers and pupils in their work. They will always be glad of good words from their bronze buttoned wis itors
