ACADEMY PRINCIPAL SPEAKS
AT METHODIsy eHrRcu srRvIf


Work is a source OF the greatest pleas
ure said Henry A Tirrell, princaral Of the
Norwich Free Academy, in an address on
Work and Play at the Sunday evening ser
vice at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
Rev. Robert L. Roberts, Phi. D., pastor Of
the church, conducted the service which
had a fair-sized attendance The service
was in charge of the Loyalty class Of the
Sunday school and special musical pro
gramne was given.
A large part of education consists in
learning what words mean, said Mr. Tfr-
rel in his address. The word "iiberty" has
different meaning today than it had
1000 years ago. 1t isn't altogether easy
to define word We use many words as
optPosites, such as Up and down, darkness
and light.
What Is the difference between work
and plays A child would say work is I'M
plea SAINT and play is pleasant, Something
we like.
My definition of work is an effort TO put
forth for some further aim Play is an
effort put forth for immediate satisfaction
Happiness Games from working towards
a final aim
Play is what is carried on for it's owr
immediate satisfaction. The child will

I should like to take part in 4 debate
in an endeavor to prove that work ha.
brought more measure into the wor1t
