 History of Normal school
 There are two names that stand out in connection with the early educa- tional work, Horace Mann of Massa- chnsetts and Henry Barnard of Con neeticut, he said.
 Normal schools were established at Lexington, in 1889, and at Barre and Bridgewater, Mass. soon after. They were prosperous and enjoyed a steady growth. In lSi9 normal school was established in New Britain, it be- ing the fifth oldest in America.
 Henry Barnard, who was responsi- ble to great extent for this work. was born in Hartford in 1871. He was a graduate of Yale university and lawyer. although he attracted most attention through his work for the public schools. He was the first state supervisor of education, the first principal of the New Britain Normal school and the first commissioner of education in the United States
 The attention of those present was called by Mir. White 10 the portraits or Barnard, which hang in the main hall, on either side of the sneakers platform. Barnard lived to be se years Of age and there is no name more honored than his in education" said Mir. White.

 OLD NORMAL SCHOOL
Marcus White Says Farewell as Last Class Is Graduated

Any young man who desires 10 spend two years among 800 girls IS either too good or too bad, said Principal Marcus White of the New Britain Normal school at the com mencement exercises there yesterday afternoon. He was speaking about the fact that there are no young men in the school.
 Beginning his talk, Mr. White spoke of the new normal school build ing on Stanley street and said that he was partly glad and partly sorry that the class of 1924 could not graduate from the new school. He said he was glad because that class could now have the honor of being the last to graduate from the old building: sorry because it could not have the dis tinction Of being the first to graduate from the new.
 Because of the fact that the class of 1924 would be the last to occupy the building as seniors, Mir. White said, no outside speaker was secured. The reason given was; Nearly every day for the last 30 years I have spent within these walls. I am acquainted with every brick in the walls and

Boston, June lS.--Alice Longfellow of Brattie street, Cambridge, Mass. daughter of the poet, takes decided issue with the British claim to the effect that "'rhe Village Blacksmith" was written about smithy in Eng land.
 "As a child" she says, "i was al- ways perfectly familiar with the smithy down the street here at the corner Of Brattle and Story streets and never had any doubt but that it was the original of the poem.

eral years ago after the first antl-Jap- anese flare-up in California. There has been some dispute as to the pre- cise effect of the gentlemen's agree ment, whereby Japan voluntarily agrees to sec that Japanese immlgra- ton of laborers is prevented. The Tokio government asserts that ar rangement has worked out with greater degree of success, from the legislative ban would have been. On the other hand, opponents of Orlental immigration in this country assert that the agreement has been violated flagrantly and repeatedly. As be- tween these views, one finds difficult ty in reaching a conclusive opinion, particularly in view of the approval by the state department of the exist ing arrangement.
 Oriental exclusion is one of the de- mands of the West, if not of the East, and the recent furry over Japanese immigration would have been less sen- sational had Japan not given the im- pression that it was trying to dictate to congress by adopting what was construed as threatening note. The Tokio government has wisely disavow- ed the interpretation placed on the note, thus opening the way for con- tinued negotiation with view of har- monizing the situation.
 The people of this desire to remain on friendly terms with Japan. They will make concessions in the interest of harmony. And yet they demand the adoption of a policy opposed to an influx of unassimilable races. Ii the president can compose the si:ua- tion m way satisfactory to all con- cenred he will have proved himself diplomat of high order.

SEEKING A WAY OUT

President Coolidge, cooperating with Secretary Hughes, iE striving to find way out of the situation involv- ing what Japan considers an affront through the passing by congress of an exclusion act which would place Japanese immigration on the same plane as immigration from other na- tions.
 It is we'll known that MT. Hughes was not in sympathy with the action of congress in passing the Johnson immigration bill which has been sent to the president by overwhelming vote of the legislative body. Yet Mir. Hughes realizes that the authority of congress in immigration matters assuming that it possesses the re- quisite power to override a presiden- tial veto--is final; also that the right of the nation, through its constitution al authority, over immigration, is sov- ereign. His plea is not that con- gress has exceeded it's authority, but that in the interests of good relations between the United States and Japan, the "gentlemen's agreement" should be continued in force.
 Just what compromise suggestion the president and the state department will offer has not been disclosed, but it has been intimated that the propo- sal is to postpone the effective date of the exclusion clause, assurance be- ing given that the ends sought by congress in the immigration act would be obtained through channels of di- plomacy.
 In other words, the president would retain something comparable to the "gentlemen's agreement" which was negotiated by President Roosevelt sev-

THE GOOD OF A BANK TO A
 COMMUNITY

(Second Prize, High School Contest)
 By Marit Eide
 Have you ever wondered as to the good of bank to a community? If not I will try to enumerate several of the many uses of one of the most help full concerns in city.
 The banks greatest asset to com munity is it's power to circulate money throughout city or country. People who have money and salt it away in a can are neither getting profit from it themselves nor helping the commun- ity in which they live. If it were put in a bank the depositor would get so much interest, and the assurance that it would be safe. But, if no money is in the bank, and the persons who have

it refuse to lend, it would probably deprive their town of another business or residence house which might mean loss of several hundred dollars to that community.
 A bank is the safest place in which to deposit either jewels or money. They are placed in strong box and then in the vault. In case of fire or burglar what protection would you have for your valuables. None, be- cause your house it not equipped with the safe guards against such catastro- phes.
 Men who are travelling through countries are benefited by having their money transferred from one coun try to another. Instead of carrying the necessary large quantity of money needed, they can purchase American Banking Association cheques.
 If it were not for bank, old pieces of paper money would have to be dis carded, but as it is now you can send the pieces to Federal Reserve Banks through the bank and they will send, in place of it, brand new bill.
 All the city funds, funds of the school board and other public institu- tions deposit their money in the bank for safe keeping, instead of letting the person in charge of the fund carry it around, or put it away in some drawer.
 Thus it is easily seen that bank is one of the greatest assets to com munity.

clared that "the French are following
a definite policy of annexation in the

"Poincare is a liar" he said, "and
can prove it. He said ne was not
supporting the separatist movement
in the Rhineland When he says
that, he lies. The money for the
separatist coup came from France
and France furnished. them with in
