Public Teaching Day at City Training School Arouses
 Interest.

The great extent to which play methods have been adapted for the modern training of children in the public schools was Illustrated at the Public Teaching Day exercises held yesterday at the Bridgeport City Nor may school. Practically every mum
 Der on the program was in the form of a game. The responses of the children to the various questions and the evident spirit with which they entered into the class work was re- markable.
 The young women conducted their classes with ease and efficiency, read fly demonstrating their ability to take their places on the regular teach ing corps of the city. The work of each young teacher was heartily applaud ed by the large audience.
 Miss Pearl M. Hamilton, speaking for the class, presented the seventh panel of the Della Robia Frieze.
 which illustrates the 15Oth psalm.
 Boys Playing on Gym ba1s'' is the subject of the panel. The other six panels have been presented by the preceding six classes so that now but
 three more panels are required to make the frieze complete. Dr. Chas. W. Deane accepted the work of art
 on behalf of the Board of Educa- ton.
