STRUCK BY NORWICH AUTO.
George G. Anderson's Runabout Bump
cd by Manchester Car.

A touring car owned by-Louis Man.
chester of Norwich and driven by Jo-
seph Bechard of that city, a chauffeur
connected with the Imperial garage of
Norwich, shortly before midnight
Thursday ran into runabout owned
and driven by George K Anderson of
this city on the Bricktop road, just
east of the Horseshoe bridge. Both
cars were badly damaged. but no one
was injured. In the Norwich car were
three passengers, aside from the driver,
and they gave the names of Gus Ske1-
ley. Harry Williams and Leslie Man
chester of Norwich, the last named a
son of the owner of the car. Mr.. An
derson was coming to this city and he
saw the touring car coming along. He
steered his machine as far as he could
to the right side of the road and slowed
down because of the glaring lights on
the approaching car. Although there
was plenty of room in the highway, the
Norwich car struck Mr.. Anderson's
car. After striking the local car, the
Norwich machine struck a telephone
pole, knocking it out of place by about
three inches, and then plowed into a
bank. badly damaging the front of the
machine. Friday morning Louis Man
chester. husband of the woman who
owns the Norwich car, came here to
investigate the matter. Mr.. Anderson
retained a lawyer to look out for his
interests in the case.

AZ Model School.

At Miss Bakers model school there
was a lesson about insects taught by
A. J. Brundage. The children appar-
emily enjoyed the lesson which was
about beneficial and destructive vari-
ties of insects.
An interesting fact which was
brought out is that $1,600, 000, 900 worth
OF produce is destroyed annually by
insects. Mr.. Brundage spoke of ways
Of destroying these harmful Insects.
He also mentioned some beneficial
insects, among the number being the
silk worm which annually produces
$2oo.000,000 worth of silk and the
honey bee which in America alone
produces S20,000,00 worth of honey.
Mr.. Brundage said that the lady beetle
is another beneficial insect for 1t
destroys the plant lice which are so
injurious to leaves. He told the chill
dren how the humble bee helps to poll
lenize apple and pear trees.
To help sustain the interest in the
subject Of insects Mr.. Brundage used
charts showing the forms of different
bugs, beetles and butterflies. He al
so distributed pamphlets for home
study on the subject Of insects.

sEcRErARY HINg- epEAKs.
Gives Instructive Lecture On Great
Educator. At storrs Summer

At Storrs Summer school, Secretary
G. D. Hine Of the State Board of Ed
ucation is conducting the course In
history Of education. Friday he re-
viewed the work of Pestalozzi, Her
bart and Froebel. He made many
helpful comments about the princi-
pies advocated by these pioneers Of
modern education.
When speaking of Pestalozzi he said,
MANY of Pestalozzi's notions Of
teaching children have survived. Pes
talozzi introduced text books and IL
Illustrative material into the schools.
He was one of the first to insist on
regular attendance of children One
of his ideas was that only part Of the
day should be given over to inStruc-
ton, the part of the day when the
pupils were in the most receptive mood.
He substituted class instruction for
individual instruction, an arrangement
which is now found to be necessary in
these days OF crowded schools.
In the penmanship work of Pesta-
lozzi printed copy books were used in
stead of copy slips which were for
merly made by the teachers for the
individual pupils. Pestalozzi believed
that reading and writing should be
taught together. Other correlations
were made whenever possible.
He favored oral instruction by the
teachers and whenever possible he
wished this instruction to be made
clearer by means OF OBJECTS.
Another great pedagogical principal
of Pestalozzi was that examples should
be studied before rules.
'tHe believed that corporal punish
ment should not be used for failure in
learning.
Passing on to Herbart Mr.. Hine said
that Herbart had more direct infiu-
ence on modern education that any
other man.
He spoke of his doctrine of apper-
ception or adaptation Of the new ma
teria1 to the old. This doc>Sine sup
plemented Pestalozzrs pinciple of
sense perception. said Mr.. -Hine The
presentations or experiences which
constitute the content of the mind are
modifable through the apperceptive
process. Apperception depends upon
interest. The process of instruction
follows the nature of the minds activ-
ity and apperceptive or assimilative
character of the minds growth. Mr..
Hine said that Herbart's influence on
education was especially strong in the
United States.
In speaking Of Froebel Mr.. Hine said,
His influence onthe education Of the
younger children is very strong. He
believed in education through modes
of expression. He gave much atten-
ton to expression through gesture,
voice, speech, music, making things,
modelling, painting, drawing and writ
ing.

PRIVATE FIRMS IcE1usEp.
Tank Of Public Fountain Filled. AL
though City Has 5000 Tons to Cal
On-Orders from Alderman GeIInas

It looks as though there Is going to
be a breach between Mayor Daniel p
dunn and the water committee OF the
city over the municipal ice situation.
The mayor is in no happy frame of
mind at present over the way things
and his patience was taxed to the ut
most Friday merning when he found
that the firm of Girouard & BONN was
supplying ice to the city for the drink
ing fountain at the corner of Main and
Railroad streets, when the city has
got over 5000 tons of ice of it's own.
Mayor Dunn had considerable of an
argument with Mr.. Girouard over I'LL
ing the vault or the drinking fountain
with ice. saying that Arthur Lee, who
was buying and peddling city ice, would
look out for the vault. Mr.. Girouard
told the mayor that he was acting un-
der instructions of Alderman A. L.
GelinaS of the water committee and
would continue to furnish ice to the
city until his orders were rescinded by
Alderman Gelinas-
The municipal ice situation in Wilt
mantle is rather peculiar and those
who have advocated municipal ice and
been enthusiastic over the success at
tanned by the venture, UP to the
present situation, are beginning to
grow suspicious. If there is any con-
cealed attempt in the present situa-
ton to kill municipal ice, there will be
some lively doings before long. Mu-
nicipal ice was inaugurated in Wilt
mantle after people had been paying
what they considered exorbitant prices
for'ice because they were at the mercy
of two ice dealers, and 1t was a case
-iof pay or go without. Ever since the
city has been harvesting ice that ice
has been retailed to families for 80
cents a hundred. Any attempt to kill
municipal ice will strike the people in
general, and they will resent any such
action. Mayor Daniel P. Dunn. the
father of municipal ice in Willimantic
IS watching every move in the present
situation and when the opportunity
presents itself he will be heard from
He has stated that as long as he was
mayor of the city no attempt would be
allowed to be carried to a success in
the elimination of municipal ice. It
had proved benefit to the community.
individuals and as a whole, and his
energies would be, devoted to safe
guarding the interests of the people.
Why the city should buy ice from
Girouard & BONN when it has over
5000 tons of its own, is q question
that is puzzling more than one person
In the city just at present. So far,
Alderman A. L. Gelinas has not made
any statement in the present contro-
versy. He is chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the city ice and when
municipal ice first became an issue in
the city he was opposed to it.

BALTIC
Old Home Day Project Booming
Exact Date Not Decided Upon
Merchants Heading the Movement,

All doubts as to the sanity Of those
who suggested Baltic having an Old
Home day having teen dispelled-not
without hard work, the business men
plans. One of the most important
changes made is in the date, as 1T was
thought Labor day was not the best
day to have it on, as there Is fair in
Norwich that day, and the people
would naturally be out of town visit
ing. The Saturday before Labor day
was suggested, but it was found that
there will be a lawn party given by
st. Marys' church on that date so the
exact date on which Old Home day will
be held has not yet been decided upon
However. there has been no delay in
preparation for the event, and a skele-
ton outline of the programme to be
followed has been drafted. 1t consists
of schedule Of athletic events. a
clambake. a picnic at the Depot Hill
grove in the evening, and other attrac-
tons. The committee in charge has
noticed with satisfaction the attitude Of
Plainf1eld and other towns in which
there are former Baltic residents and
feels confident that with the co-opera-
ton Of these people and the local citi-
zens the scheme will be successful.
They figure that the cost will be trihng
considering the nature of the event,
and all they ask for is that everybody
help them to make it success.
