Putnam patriot., 1927-12-01

The people of the First Congrega- tional church were given on Sunday last. the rare privilege of an address upon the subject of the New China from the standpoint of personal obser- vation and experience by Rev. Robert Chandler. who has recently returned from that country and during his fur tough is engaged in secretarial work with the American Board. We were told that China is in a transition state and 1t is very difficult to predict the outcome. Official recognition of the Chinese church has been granted and through this agency the work of the American Board k to be carried on in the future.
 IL was great pleasure 10 Mir. Chandler to visit Woodstock. the home of his ancestors, for his grandfather. Rev. John Chandler, went from this town as missionary to India, and his work has been carried on by his son, Dr. John Chandler, who is stationed in Madura, India.
 It was also great qualification to our pastor. Rev. Mir. Powell. to vel come to his pulpit his old-time friend of seminary days. and whom he had not seen since that time.
 In the evening the annual Thanks giving service was held. X good rep resentation from the other churches shared in the interesting program. The meeting was conducted by Mrs. Edward Chandler, who very happily introduced Mrs Robert Chandler as the speaker of the evening She gave an intimate account of her work in the Chinese homes and of her love for the women. She told us of farewell meeting with the women when they presented her with d beautiful banner made of blue satin embroidered in symbolical figures and expressions of love. wonderful tribute of their af lection for her.
 A very generous offering was taken, a number of the loyal, though absent, members sharing in this gift for For eign Missions.

HIGH SCHOOL GRAD
 HAS BEST CHANCE
|. P. Slade Sees Private School
 Students Under Handicap

The graduate of the public high school has a better chance in college than the average graduate of the private schools, according to l.. P. Slade. principal of the senior high school, who spoke to the kiwanis club at the noon meeting today on "A Modern High School"
 The address was the first of a series of talks on New Britain schools. Superintendent Stanley II. Holmes addressed 1le club about a year ago and d slort time later Dewey Van Cott. a,t director, spoke to the kiwanians. Mir. Slades ad- dress today will be followed by others, taking up different phases of the school work.
 He showed the program of the development of a high school by comparing the present school wit Il one in 1880. In 1890, he said there were 20o,ooo students in public high schools in America. Thcre were GO million people in the coun- try Today, he said, the population has increased one and one-half times and the number of high school stu dents has increased 14 times.
 In 1890 the New Britain senior high school had between So and l0p puipls and six teachers. In 1922 it had more than 1000 pupls and 5S teachers. Today 1t has moro than 1.2oo students and 62 teachers.
 The high school of today, the speaker explained, it's a cross section of the community, while in 1890 it was a select institution. In 1922 one-thrd of the young people of America between the ages of Is and IS years were high school students and half of these finished their courses.
 Mir Slade pointed out that the student in the public high school is taught to do many things on his own responsibility, Each high school class averages 70 pupils 10 an in structor while in private schools there is an average Of eight students to teacher. This means that the student in the private school is han dlcapped when he enters college be cause he misses this extra amount of personal help. In the better grade of private schools he has had and advantages not avail able to public high school students which in turn have the disadvantages of not throwing him onto his own personal responsibilities.
 He stressed the fact that hard work is one of the features of the senior high school course.
 In introducing Mir. Slade. Presi- dent J. M. Ward stated that the New Britain school system is known bet ter throughout the United States, Canada and island possessions than it is in New Britain.
 The club will join the Hartford club in joint meeting al tho Sc- quin Golf club this evening. The attendance prize was awarded to Harry Vessels.
 The following were appointed on q nominating committee: A. J. Lev anthal chairman; Attorney Donald Iaffney, Arthur Berg, Harry C. Bill ngs. and E. R. Hitchcock
