The school committee have labored untiringly, eff f1ciently and economically to solve the many problems committed to their care. The teachers and all others con- nected with our school system have shown unmistakable evidence of sim cere loyalty to the school committee and to the superintendent. For all connected with the school system it has been a busy but at the same time a most happy year-a year of educa- tiona1 progress. The future is bright for greater advancement so long as this stneral spirit continues.

Manual and Household Arts. Regarding the introduction of man. ual and household arts, which is to be a part of the school system tNs year for the first time, the superintendent's s report says:
 During the past year the school thought to the subject of vocational training. The school systems of other cities with conditions similar to those of Norwich have been investigated and
 studied. The school committee found that in nearly all of these places some
 form of vocational training is being given. In order to strengthen our sys- tenn and make it conform to modern educational advancement, the school
 committee decided to introduce do- mestic and manual arts in the seventh and eighth grades.
 Three manual arts centers were es- abolished; one at each of the following places: Broadway. Greeneville and Mt Pleasant street. The pupils of the outlying schools who elect this course are to come to the nearest center for their work. Thirty manual training
 benches have been purchased and in-
 stalled in the three different centers. In domestic arts there is to be one center at Broadway school. All girls of the seventh and eighth grades who elect this course will come to this cen | ter for their work. Equipment for 8 class of twenty pupils has been pur- 1 chased and installed.
 Two new teachers have been en- gagged to carry on this work, one fol | the manual arts and one for the do- I mestic arts.
 | Promotion Gain. | In June, 1912, 90.2 per cent. of all
 our pupils were promoted. In June | 1913, 92.3 per cent. of the pupils were promoted. A gain of two per cent. was
 made during the past year. A special
 effort is being made to further reduce
 retardation by getting each pupil tc l do a years work in a years time.

NORWICH CROWD IS
 ROOFING FOR BOSTON
Fans Heard the. Returns from The
 Bulletin Megaphone.

About 300 fans turned out Friday and Saturday to hear the returns of the worlds series in front of the Bulletin building, when the plays were an- nounced by megaphone. The crowd cheered at times for both teams, but the Boston element prevailed, for there was no such enthusiasm as was dem- onstrated when Danny Murphy was with the Athletics.
 Now and then a stray Athletics voice could be heard trying to gainsrecogni- ton and for about two hours the crowd gazed longing1y up to the win dows waiting for the very latest. The announcing was done by the old reliable. Steve Coffey, who has for several years filled that posi- tion in a very satisfactory manner, speaking clearly and loud enough so that everyone could hear. The wire opens at o'clock, when the umpire shouts ''Play ball!" and all the plays, inning by inning, are announced from our windows each afternoon.

TaftViIie Congregational Pastor and Choir at Shelterins Arms-Surprise Party with Gift Tree-HalIow'een Favors at Birthday Celebration.

Rev. Arthur Varley, pastor of the TaftvHle Congregational church made his first visit to the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon, conducting the ser vice. He took for the text, Whosoever drinketh of the water that shall give him shall never thirst. In times of water famine, he said, if we would only get deep enought into the heart of the hills there would be no trouble about about the trouble, the restlessness of life, it comes about because we don't drink deep enough of the eternal springs. The springs of our faith are shallow. Christ Is pointing us in a simple way towards a deep spiritual experience, that we can drink at the unfailing spring in the heart of God How pitiful the one who goes through life without this deep spring of faith and peace and joy. As the great mys- tery of things beyond pressed upon Paul and John I see them at the un- failing spring of Gods salvation be- coming strong and peaceful and mighty. How blessed all along the highway of life to be refreshed by this fountain until we awake in His like ness and are satisfied
 The musical part of the service was most pleasing. The anthems, The King of Love my Shepherd is, and, Come Unto Me All Ye that Labor, were giSen fine rendering as was the solo by Mrs. Hodkinson, To Thee we Bow ir Prayer.
