In Introducing Mr. Tnft,' Mr. Curtl said that with the perspective of time "we hnve come to look bark on tho administration of President Tnft as tfno of the best of the present gcncrnllon." The former President traced the history of the New Knglnudera In nn address that was marked by his witty comment on the foibles pttho curly Tllgrlnis and Puritan. "On thin bleak day of December we rlso up to call them biesscdA he said. 'Their story It Inspiring. They have projected their uieful and beneficial Influence across three centuries.

After a humorous description of the dim cultlea tho doctrinal settlers encountered In Itogcr Williams nnd bin religious tolerance nnd remarking that n. similar fate should bo meted out to certain modern reformer, Doctor Tnft explained nt length the debt which our generation owe to tho Pilgrims nnd their later companions, the Puritan. Ho enumerated them na the prlnclplo of representative government, freedom nf thought, literature and their sacrifice In the cau.no of education. 'Tho first written constitution ver adopted by a freo people was drawn up In Connecticut and beuamo the model for the United States Constitution" he said, "The freedom of thought that they encouragsd under rigid limit burst tho bonds nnd made New Kngland the real center of religious liberty, TJielr local self-government grewi Into representative government.

He flayed those who. In theso "riotously prosperous days." believe n house and n home are the same and tlwso -who hold that going to school and having nn education are one. He urged tho former to rend ot the real home ot their forefathers, who lived In shacks and deplored the Inroads that buslnee llfo Is making upon classical education.
