FIGHTING PASTOR
 TO TALK HERE

Captain Herbert D. Gallaudet. who
 speaks in the United church next
 Sunday evening at 8 o'clock on his
 war experiences, has had a varied ex-
 perience in the United States Service.
 It will be recalled that Captain Gal
 laudet, formerly the pastor of the
 First Church, resigned at the time of
 the union of the First Congregational
 church and the South Congregational
 church when the United church was
 organized. Captain Gallaudet went to
 the first officers Training camp at
 Plattsburg in May, 1917, and at the
 end of the camp decided to accept a
 captaincy in the line rather than walt
 for an appointment as chaplain. He
 shortly received his commission as
 captain in Battery r SO34 Field Ar
 tillery, attached to the 76th Division.
 The 302d and 303rd were the only or
 ganizatiOns of the division to get into
 action as units. After spending the
 winter of 1917-191S in Camp Devens
 where the enlisted men came from
 Maine and New Hampshire, with
 many recruits from Stamford, Bridge
 port and the Naugatuck Valley, Cap
 tain Gallaudet was then sent to Fort
 Sill, Oklahoma, in the spring of 1918.
 In June, 1918, he was sent overseas
 with the 303rd Advance School De-
 tachment," he was overseas ten
 months. The Justicia. on which Cap
 tain Gallaudet crossed was torpedoed
 on her next voyage. When the 3Q3rd
 came over in August 1t was organized
 as a .155 Howitzer Regiment and was
 sent to Clermont- -Ferrs ud in Puy-de-
 Dome. A. 155 howitzer is a French
 gun shooting over 10 miles. The reg iment was ordered to the front in the
 middle of October and actually de- trained below Verdun one week be-
 fore the armistice. Battery F was inn
 mediately sent into action with the Fourth Corps operating against Metz. At the time of the armistice they were in position in a wood about a mile and a half from the German lines There were three casualties in the reg iment and two of them in Battery F, and Captain Gallaudet narrowly es- l capped making fourth. After the ar mistice was signed he was kept for November and December in the St. Mihiel sector as a part of the Army of Occupation. In January of the present year he took a two weeks leave and visited some of the most l important battlefields such as Rheims. Amiens, Cambrai, Namur Ypres and Mt Kemmel. The sO3rd was order | ed to Bordeaux in January where they remained until sailing for home the middle of April. Before entering the United States service Captain Gal laudet was interested in organized welfare and social work at the ScoyiII Manufacturing Go. in Waterbury. and he will probably take up some
 similar line of work this fall. The

 The wise schoolmaster does not bore ---s audience by dragging all kinds of pupils into prominence. He picks out those best deserving honor sam pies of what the schools are doing. Many people who have not attended exercises of this kind for many years will be astonished to see with how much maturity and original thought the modern school graduate discusses the affairs of life.

tremendous programs. The hotter the day, the more lengthy the exercises usually were. Lofty sentiments, elab crate periods, and wise advice were handed out by the young disciples of culture. Suspicious persons had their doubts as to who wrote some of the compositions. Sometimes every mem Der of a big graduation class was given an essay or recitation or musical solo. The school authorities might not dare omit anyone, for fear of of lending parents.
 The modern school graduation or exhibition frequently secures some able speaker, who may be able to con- vey a good educational message. But no imported orator is so convincing to the average audience, as the display of a schools finished product. When

CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.

The first Parliament of the United Provinces of Canada was formerly opened 78 years ago today by the governor, Lord Sydenham. The ses- sion of the lawmakers was held in Kingston, which had been chosen by Lord Sydenham as his capital. Under the act for the union of the Canadas the old Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada were each to have 42 mem bers in the legislative assembly. The governor died from injuries received from an accidental fall from a horse soon after the meeting of the first Parliament, and was succeeded by Sir Charles Bagot, who retained Kingston as the capital. When Sir Charles died in 1S43, Sir Charles Metcalfe became governor, and he re- moved the capital to Montreal in 1S44. under that provision of the Union Act by which the right to select the place and fix the date for holding ''the first and every other session. of the Canadian Parliament was con ferred on the governor.
 The first House which met fin Kingston was largely French and radical in political affiliations. while the executive council headed by Hon. w.. H. Draper, was completely Tory. save for one Liberal member. Hon. Robert Baldwin. French-Canadfans were without representation in the ministry, and this fact. together with the fact that all but one of the mem bers of the council were Tories, nat urally aroused the aninosfty of the new Assembly. Lord Sydenham. by the arts of diplomacy. postponed the impending storm. which broke dur ing the administration of Sir Charles Bagot. Following the conflict be- tween the House and the Draper exec utive council, and the resignation of Baldwin Sir Charles formed a new executive council under the joint leadership of Robert Baldwin and l.. H. Lafontaine. In this ministry, which was Liberal, the Freneh-Cana- dians were fairly represented. When Sir Charles Metcalfe took up the gov ernment and announced his policies, the ldwin-Lafontafne government resigned, and Draper returned, to power, while Kingston lost the capital.
