The writer has rath CT clear recollections of a visit to the sanctum, the reason for it, and the administered rebuKe. His manner, while doling out punishment, is easily reconstructable toGay.
 The principals efforts as an educa- tor of educators, his success in that line, is testified to oy the high grade of his graduates. The schools of New Britain have long been a model for others and the work of the Normal school has had great deal to do with been accom- plishing hls purpose in an unassumtng, capable way.
