RECESS TALKS.
RODNEY c. RANNATYNE.

RODNEY c. BANNATYNE. Little Is known in the school con- corning Rodney c. Bannatyne, but what little is known is of a par ex- cel1ent standard. MT. Bannatyne. if you do not already know him, holds classes in Room 305.
 MT. Bannatyne's home is in Wilkes Barre. Pa. He received his collegiate education in the Keuka college of western New York and his commer- cia1 education in the New York Uni versity. He has been teaching for six years but only one school, the High of Lawrence, L. I. has been honored with his presence on the fac ulty. Even though 1t is Leap Year. this very young teacher ventures to announce that he is unmarried and is extremely happy.
 For two years the new member of the faculty was in the service of the United States He served in the ca pacity of Ensign on board the Pan uco. His only past record is that he crossed the ocean three times while in the Navy.
 MT. Bannatyne likes the rules in our school much better than those in New York State. "The rules here help both the teacher and the pupil to do better work. Education in New York State is a round of com mplicated | systems with a lot of red tape. A l teacher cannot form & personality in | the schools there because he is treat | ed as one of the mass and his indi- | vidua11ty cannot show itself. In Con- | necticut the teachers are not held | down. The pupil has a fairer chance l in this High school. Class work is | a very vital part of the mark here, l while by New York rules class work counts for nothing as all marks are ] gathered from examinations and tests. The school spirit in Bridgeport | High school is wonderful
 'I am 9 man of many hobbies One l of them is to see Bridgeport thor 1 oughly for like the city very much.'' l We are glad that this perfectly lovely I teacher likes our city and our school ! and we hope that he will have a long l career of teaching here so that he can 1 enjoy them both.
