 ent plant has done excellent service. From its portals have passed hun dreds of young women better equip ped to guide and direct the minds of children so that they might develop into useful and purposeful men and women. But it's day of maximum utility has passed. It cannot longer adequately serve the state and 1t is essential that it be replaced with buildings properly equipped with fla cilities in conformance with modern ideas of educational institutions.
 During the past few years much has been said with regard to the need of education, and this need has been recognized generally. To withhold the appropriation for the new school buildings would be the worst extrava- gance because it would waste human effort and human thought and would ignore an opportunity now presented to give Connecticut children the best possible public school instructors. The people of New Britain are con- fident that Governor Lake will take these facts into consideration when the bill is presented to him for his signature.
 the debt of thanks New Britain owes two of its leading citizens for their efforts in behalf of the appropriation. These men are Principal Marcus< White of the State Normal school and Charles F. Smith, whose interest i'll education is comparable only to his interest in the upbuilding of New Britain as great industrial center. Both Messrs. White and Smith have given generously of their time and strength to the victory which now seems to be at hand. Their services should not be forgotten.

The pleasure is derived from associating l with men who are doing things in l real way and from the exchange of sociability.
