a strong plea to the teachers to get away from machine teaching and pro- duce individuals who will make the
 social organ more effective. It is an error to think that an average course of study may be found and maintain
 ed; not the mass, but the individual child must be studied. The great est aim in education is not by prepar- ation, but by doing all one can to help a child develop growth and ef-
 fciency.
 Education has to do with more than mental growth-it should be an all- around development. War has demon strated the importance of the physical development as well. modern educa-
 ton, embraces all a child's mental and
 physical powers. An understanding
 teacher will be more interested in the
 child himself, his inclinations, en-
 vironments, etc, than in any other
 subject. Starting with such knowl-
 edge, and the capacity of the pupil
 taken into account almost any good re-
 suits may be obtained. It is a de-
 pressing fact in American education,
 children are being forced out of the schools, because they do not fit the machine made studies: we must see to it that our movements are guaged for the benefit of ths individual and ny the suggesting to a child his own
 possibilities, develop his growth along | the lines of independent and straight thinking. The most important re- sponsibility resting upon American schools today is to educate men and 1 women to think independently; the more we can have of independent thought the better for our country s l democracy. The finest thing we have | to do is to send out men and women who know their own powers. believe 1 in themselves, and are willing to lay l upon the altar of democracy the con- l secrated service of their lives.

HAS SEEN 55 YEARS IN
 THE NEWSPAPER GAME

Most popular among the newspaper reporters in the house of representa- tives is silver haired Major Walter Fitzmaurice of New London, who covers" the legislative proceedings for the Norwich Bulletin. and Thurs day observed his fifty-f fifth anniver- sary in newspaper work. Major Fftz- maurice is believed to be the only man in the state who has filled every job on daily paper from printers devil to managing editor and sole pro- prietor, and the breadth of his experi- ence makes of him most enjoyable acquaintance. The major has also been legislator. the democrats of New London electing him to the house for the deadlock session of 1891 and for the following sesson of 1893. His title of major comes from his service with the old Connecticut National Guard.
 He was II years old when he became apprentice boy in the composing room of the New London Evening Star, and seven years later went to the Elm City
 Press in New Haven as a typesetter He returned to New London after a year and half and worked as a com positor on the Evening Telegram eventually becoming foreman of the
 mechanical department and later city editor of that paper.
 The Morning Telegraph was estab- l lished in New London by Major Fitz-
 maurice and three others, he acting as business manager and managing edi- tor. and he finally bought out the oth- CT interests. He sold out to the New London Day about fourteen years ago and joined the staff of the Norwich Bulletin, though he retained his resi-
 dence in New London. He has report | ed the legislative sessons since 1911 ! and is a fund of information on the ! doings of the house.-Hartford Times

 the exercises are not too long or

 of saving, to the children. Our whole /! country went to school last year rich and poor alike. The government l wants the idea of thrift to be a per 1 manent thing, a lasting policy.

One hundred staunch, tried and true republicans met ill caucus at the town hall on Friday evening and nominated their ticket for the coming city cleo ton in June. placing on, it men that have every qualification for the of flee for which they were named and who will have the support of every republican voter.
 Chairman H. H. Pettis of the re- publican town committee called the caucus to order and Judge John H. Barnes, premier republican, amid an outburSt of applause was unanimously chosen chairman and Harry L. Peter son was elected clerk. Judge Barnes in taking the chair with his ever ready wit and humorous satire spoke on the merits of his opponents saying that he understood they would meet next Monday evening for thein love feast and that he understood that the two factions of the party had so much to be proud of they did not know which side was the goat. T always believe in giving credit where credit is due, said Chairman Barnes, and the demo- crate administration certainly desery- es credit in the art uS making over drafts. They are experts in this line, in fact they are past masters in over- drafts for a glance at the city treas urer's reports will show that they have made more overdrafts than there are cooties on soldier just out of the tr enches."
 Over acress there are fourteen points to be considered; here there is one that is if the republicans come out next month and vote, this will be changed. If any republican hasn't enough interest to come out to the caucus, don't let him kick on the choice of the meeting"
 Clerk Peterson read the call for the meeting and Chairman Barnes called for nominations for first alderman.

he bought the necessary instruments
in Paris.

never got over it. And that is true of
