 Already the teachings of Bishop Brown have reached 10 Ceylon and India, 10, Australia and inc islands of the seven seas, And this has re suited chiefly from the incredible folly that brought these proceed ings to pass. Let us have no more such blots on mans record.'
 Mir. Sharts asserted that dogma" as defined by the church advocate, had no place in catholic body. The authority of the scriptures, he said, had been cast aside by the prosecution, thus establishing a greater heresy than any charged against Bishop Brown.
 By edict of council" he said, you must not believe what the Bible gives us, but what the Nicene council gave us in its creed"
 He argued that the creeds were originally tokens of admission into the church and there was no re- quiremcnt in ancient times that they be considered . fallible. Present attempts to make them such were, he said, an ontgrowth of a recent English movement which. he assert ed, threatens to disrupt the church.

 MORE MECHANICS
Herman s. Hall Points Out
 Shortage in Trained Men

"The present aim of education is to train for life through discovering and developing as far as possible tho aptitudes of the individual, according to Herman s, Hail. director Of the state trade school in an address to the New Britain Rotary club today.
 The meeting was held at the F. e, Goodwin building. occupied by the trade school on South Main street. A committee consisting of E. w. Bennett, John W. Loekett and George II. Dyson was appointed to draw up a set of resolutions on the death of Mary E. Curtin, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Two new members, Alderman William II. Judd and John c. Loomis, president of the Commercial Trust Co.,, were welcomed into membership by Presi- dent Hartwell Taylor.

 MT. Hall in his address stated that "an individual can hardly be said to be trained for life unless he can Tul- fill intelligently the responsibilities Of citizenship, associate on terms of more or less social equality with other members of the social group. profit by intelligent reading and es- pecially in the case of a boy. earn a decent living"
 He pointed out the necessity of training for earning a livelihood has been generally recognized as school function only during the past decade. He compared the modern vocational educational system with the old fashioned apprenticeship system and showed reasons why teaching a trade under trained instructors is more satisfactory than where the students receive simply the benefit of knowl- edge and experience of one man.
 He pointed out that the prosperity of New England depends upon the skill of its craftsmen and said there never was a time in, the history of the country when trained l-around mechanics were as scarce as they are now.

He explained that while the school is known as the state trade school it really is joint affair, the city paying about 25 per cent of the costs. The state pays the instruc- tors and the city provides the build ing, heat, light, power and janitor service.
 He showed that of all the boys who remained In the school one year or more, S7 per cent are em- ployed at the trades started in the school, and 971a per cent of the graduates are following the trade started in the school or some higher position secured through the trade learned in school.
 After the meeting the Eotarians were escorted throughout the build ing end saw the boys actually at work.
