 Senator Crandall said if there were er- TOTS in management they could and would be corrected. He was in favor of co-edu- cation in the schools. Women educated in farming will be all the better fitted for farmers wives. and fewer farms would go to pieces on the death of the husband. The farmers of this state ask this bill, are entitled to t,and will carry it through both houses. If it will help to encourage farm ing in Connecticut, by all means let them have it.
 Senator Pierce, replying to Senator Phelps, again urged that there should be a change of methods at the Storrs School so as to make the instruction more prac. tical. He was prepared to give the mon, ey to the school, believing that there would be improved methods, and that the money would be used rightly.
 Senator Phelps replied in crisp way to some criticisms by Senator Pierce, and intimated that the latter didn't know very much about practical farming, anyway.
 Senator Cleveland characterized the whole debate as unseemly. There is only one real question, whether or not the state should stand by it's contract with Yale On this point, Senator Cleveland reaC from statement of the whole case by Professor Dwight of Yale, and argued that the state was bound to keep faith with Yale and the contract. He would therefore. vote against the bill.
 Senator Fox moved to amend the bill in the second section so that only boys shall be admitted Storrs. He did not be- lieve in co-education in such an institu tion. It is dangerous.
 Senator Coffey protested against the amendment on the ground that there is 6 difference between the hills of Mansfield and the back streets of New Haven. Senator Phelps also opposed the amend ment. He might support such an amend ment as to Yale college. Laughter.

 countersigned by the general passenger agents of all the principal roads. They
 request that all baggage shall be plainly marked with the owners name in full and permanent address; that hand bags,
 satchels and other hand baggage be not checked when possible It is important, the notice says, that passengers attend to
 the checking of their baggage personally.
 A memorandum of the check numbers should also be kept. All baggage when delivered in Chicago shoald bear trans fer or express claim check, otherwise
 depot claim check must be issued at the time the baggage is delivered at the sta- ton. The managers deem it important

From Charles Dudley Warmers Boston address on ~The Newspaper of the Pres ent and Future :''
 The first element of viciousness intro- duced into the modern newspaper is that it is compelled to resort to extreme meth ods of getting a circulation, such, for ex- ample, as the giving of prize for the most beautiful woman of Boston. Laugh- ter. Here you have the reader buying the newspaper for the sake of cutting out the coupons. Now that brings ficti- tious circulation. and is not really valua- ble in money point of view. The circu- lation that the advertiser wants is cir culation that is steady, showing that the paper is trusted, especially in the family so that when a-reader finds an advertise. ment in it he attaches to that advertise. ment the confidence he has in the news paper.
