The Iinitod'fltatea Bureau of Education gives great prominence to science " teaching and gives statistics of one hundred and ninety-live schools throughout the United States. some of them giving instruction in the ele- mentary grades. though most of them ‘ deal with the high school grades, and . many of them give a complete course of three or four years. where students , go there and nowhere else: Manual training is of the high school grade in Hartford and in New Haven, and not much anywhere in Connecticut is given to the elementary grades. Differing somewhat from present methods. the work [in the proposed obste technical school in Norwalk be- gins at an early age. not later than eight years, and is for both boys and girls. two. or three. or four hours a . ‘ week. by classes, throughout their en- ; tire common school life. in a series of graded tasks and lessons combined. running parallel with their book lcs» ' sons in their regulsrowork in their ‘own school.

A TREAT FOR METHODISTS. Methodists in this vicinity are ex- ceedingly fortunate. this year, in the fact that the annual session of the New York East Conference. of which they are members, will be held in Bridgeport, this week, says the An. souls Sentinel. This annual assembly of Methodists is a notable event. the biggest of its kind in the district for the year. It brings together scale at the ablest speakers in the country and is an occasion for the exchange of practical ideas regarding church work the transaction of important business concerning pastors. pastorates, pnlpitr and pawn and also a general quicken- ing of interests in religious effort. II is by no means a long-faced body of men that convenes at these annual gatherings, nor is all that they do and say of a. serious and solemnchoily na ture. Some of the jolliest men that ever got together have been seen at Methodist conferences. and some or the spiciest stories ever told have there been exchanged. it Is also true that some of the deepest. and most helpful sermons have been preached on these occasions, Naturally, the kcehest interest of thr whole session centers in the final allot meat of ministers to the severe" churches, for this always means i. shake-up. and it is not always the cast that a pastor ls quite sure until the last minute where the next year may find him settled. In late years Metho dists have been given to "calling” par tors, and the pastors have been giver to accepting calls, but not very man: years ago any tendency of this kind if discovered in advance by the bishop was pretty sure to result in the two confident pastor being sent to an en tirely different “charge" than he hat anticipated: but even now, it is not al ‘ways certain until the final announce ment by the presiding bishop just what the arrangesieat may be, and for this reason there is some holdinl of breaths among the uncalled, until the roll-call. Methodists in this vicinity who havr, never attended a conference of thir kind and who have the opportunity tr do so. should avail themselves of in: privilege. Methodists who have at tended such gatherings need no furtb or guide than a program, for they wil. be pretty surevto be there to enjoy at many meetings as possible. There it no law, either. to keep folks who arr not Methodists from attending. 0a the other hand, If they will go and will reveal their identity It is not impossi‘. his but that they may 'be usheret straight to the Amen Corner.

In the absence of General Van Keuren. its president. who was ill. Governor Rollin S. Wood- rllff acted as toaatmaster. During his remarks he said he had been an aide on Governor Lounsbury's staff several months before the governor knew him well enough to recognize .him when they metwln fact. he was was intro- duced to him once after he had been 1 member of his staff four months, but tfterw a they had become very well icqual ted. Once in riding on the wars he sat with the governor. and luring the conversation, in which some ltate issues were being discussed. Governor Louasbury turned to Colo nel Woodrutf and said very forcibly, ‘,‘Colonel some day you will be gov- ernor of Connecticut. " Governor Woodruff said that such a thought had never entered his mind at that time, and many times nfter~ wards he wondered why Governor l.ounsbur_v should have made such a remark. In the light. of subsequent events, he regardsGovernor Louns~ bury as a prophet. THURBER-LOCKWOOD WEDDING.
