held last evening at the auditorium

B. Meredith. commissioner of the
State Board of Education. was the
,spaadier of the evening. He spoke
on school matters in general. and es‘
pecially the program of education of
Connecticut. As the train which Dr.
Meredith arrived on. was a little late.
Rev. Ernest F. McGregor. president
of the league. did not call the meet-
lng to order until 8:20. Dr. McGreg-
or gave a brief history of the league
since its founding four years ago. He
said that the league had been quiet

Compared the State Systems of Edn-
cation. and said that they were de-
termined by state aid on most cities.
'and by state laws in only a. few. He
said that $1,000,000 had been spent
on trade schools. in maintaining 10
of the schools. which are open for
.eight hours a day. while there were
' ten High schools throughout the state.
lfor agricultural vocational training.
{These schools are all maintained by
. the state. aided by an appropriation
of $60,000 from the Federal govern-
,ment. This appropriation was se-
leured through the Smith-Hughes act.
.Four normal schools are also main-
'tained throughout the state. Dr.
Meredith compared the number of
students in the schools now. with the
number two years ago.
He said the chief function of the
state. was to assist in raising the
level of skill. and that teachers were
picked acorriing to their qualifica-
tions. technique and skill. There is
work at Yale university, every sum-
mer. and he said that statistics slow--
ed that two-thirds of the 994. who
Went to the summer school. were ex-
periencd teachers. who went for new
ideas and pointers. Dr. Meredith
ended his talk by saying that the
state was small enough for every-
one to have a common idea. and
snake school life more congenial. as
uhool influences a person in later
life. or in public work.
~ Following Dr. Meredith's talk. Pre-
Ident McGregor asked if anyone
wished to ask any questions of Dr.
Isredith. Several were asked and
I}. Meredith answered all. As there
'is no class for deficient pupils in
Norwalk. Hrs. Betts asked Dr. Mere-
dith if the state maintained classes
(or deficient pupils in towns the size
of Norwalk. He said that there were
some clones in towns the size of
Norwslk. and he said the (nutter
would be looked into if the proper au-
thorities were communicated with.

Women's club activities as well as in
