tions of increased importance in the scheme of things. Among these, no things seem in the light of present experiences of greater value or im- portance than sound physical health, s'aple character and clear-sighted patrlotlsm. In another part of this report. we have spoken of the first of these.~ The last of these is of even greater Importance. With the alien in our midst in almost overwhelm- ing numbers, with the children of the alien in our day schools and the alien himself in limited numbers in our evening schools, how are we to in- still and increase that clear-sighted intelligent devotion to America which is necessary for the preservation of our national life and we'll being? To a large extent this is 8 problem for the schools. To insure it's success full solution, however, cooperation of forces and institutions Is necessary. In order to reach the adult alien popula- tion legislation may be necessary, making attendance upon evening schools compulsory up to greater age than is now required, and pro- viding that definite and considerable portion of the school time be given to V. American ideals. and the privileges, advantages and requirements of American citizenship. Further than this, the cooperation of employers must be given voluntarily or other wise to secure the attendance of the adult aliens upon the sessions of the evening schools and at lectures and other exercises for the promotion of Americanism. Last of all, those in charge of the evening school work must see to 1t that the teaching of Americanism is given its proper place of importance and not left to be taken up after everything else has been provided for on the school program. A much larger share of time and at- tention must be given to this subject and teachers must be chosen and trained to teach 1t most effectively. Enthusiasm is no less ihmportant in the teaching of this subject than a clear knowledge of the subject itself, for patriotism is a state of mind, a thing of the spirit and it is con- tagious quite as much as joy or sor- row or other emotional states.
 "So far as the day schools are con- cerned, the need would seem to be not so much for a change in the qual- ity as in the quantity of patriotic in struction. More time should be- given to the subject than has hitherto been given. This will also call for some

upon q proper sense of social ObllGa- tion and this sense is best acquired through youthful participation in so- cial experiences. The person who learns through group activities to serve his fellows and to cooperate with them makes better citizen than he who is deprived of these experiences in childhood and youth. If the school is to do its full duty by the individual and by the com- munity, it. must not fail to provide, through various organizations under the control of the school. numerous opportunities for the exercise of the social instinct through legitimate and wholesale social experiences.
 Much has already been done to this end in the schools of New Brit
 ain. During the past year, develop
 ment in the specialization of the schools has been a marked feature
 of our school progress. In the ele-
 mentary grades, the organization of | the boys and girls in branches of the Patriotic League has been effected in 1 each of the schools. The chief aims l of the Patriotic League are, =, Good 1 character; 2, good conduct, 5, co-op- | eration; 4, courtesy; and 5, patriot. ! ism. Meetings are held at frequen.
 intervals. They are in all cases in
 full charge of the pupil officers of
 the organization and have been pro-
 ductive of no little good.
 "In common with almost all other cities and in fairness to tho teachers, l it was necessary to revise the salary | schedule for all teachers. This re- | vision is to become effective in Sep | tember, 1917. A general increase | has been voted to instructors in the
 High school, and a new schedule | adopted for teachers of grades l to 8 | inclusive. The new schedule increases
 the initial salary for beginners from
 $45O to $500 and the maximum sal aries for teachers of experience are
 increased by $10O, for kindergartens
 and in grades 1 to 5, and by $150 for grades 6, and 8. The regular yearly increase for all grade teachers has been fixed at $50.
 Patriotic Instruction.
 with the new perspective fur nished by our participation in the great war in which America is now engaged, we are better able to deter mine relative values. We see now as never before, that in a crisis such as the present, many of the things which before were considered of greatest importance shrink in value and that other things assume posi-
