 But No Picnic Parties Permitted-Fish-
 ing Still Permitted-The Increasing h.
 terest in Debating and oratory.
 While there has been no definite ac- ton of the New Haven Water compa- ny toward excluding the Yale oarsmen from the waters of Lakes Whitney and Saltonstall, there can be slight doubt that the conpany's utterance on the subject forecasts an early decision. One of the plans of the corporation is to di- vert into the lake through a tunnel the waters of Foxon river. now separa- ted from the lake by the familiar ridge of trap rock. Both lakes are constant- ly used for the city's water supply, yet with the growth of the city, both of them have been frequented more and more by rowing, picnic and fishing par ties.
 The prohibition, when it goes into eff feet, will be serious one, not merely for the college crews, but for the gen eral aquatic recreations of the univer- sity and city. These necessarily will be confined to the harbor, which, with its oyster stakes and unromantic shores, grows less attractive each year. At present fishing in the lake will be all lowed and rowboat excursions. This IS learned from official sources More over, excursions by steamer on the lake for sail only will be permitted, but the picnic grounds at the head of the lake are closed and picnic parties will be excluded. This is a severe depriva- tion, but the general public will yield gracefully to all steps taken to secure perfect purity to the status of the lake, which now furnishes a big proportion of the drinking water of our city.
 The New York Evening Post remarks on the rivalry element as a great pro- motive and incentive to intercollegiate debating:
 "The Yale Harvard debate has been followed by vast amount of discus sion, of intercollegiate debating, some of it critical, but most of it in the way of suggestion as to the future mes along which should be developed what is now considered almost as much of an institution as athletics or depart ment of study in the regular curr1cu- lum. The plan of MT Albert Shaw, that intercollegiate debates should be non- competitive, finds little approval, as rivalry is deemed the essence of de- batting rivalry Mr. Reynolds, who, with Professor Hadley coached the speakers for the last debate, thinks the present system defective as means Of obtaining a set of debaters for team work, and favors the adoption of the baseball and boating method of select | ing promising candidates and then re- ducing the group to the three best. It l is suggested, also, that plan of prize debates between classes or departments be adopted, and also, for the sake ot widening the field, that no debater be l allowed to enter an intercollegiate con | test more than once. The foregoing | hints, out of many, indicate the direc- l tions in which academic feeling as to the debates is moving, as well as the interest, large already, aroused on the subject by Yale's victory over Harvard 1 The Yale union has passed a vote of 1 thanks to Professor Hadley and MT
 Reynolds for assistance in the de- | bates"
 In the Yale News of Saturday ap-
 peared the following in regard to Pro- lessor Hadleys new book on ''Econom- | ics'':
 Professor Hadley's new book or | Economies has just appeared from the press of G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and London. The book is design | ed to apply the methods of modern
 science to the problems of modern busi-
 ness, and is carefully adapted to the
 needs of pupils and teachers, while not | exclusively prepared for them. The treatment is orderly and scientific but
 pains have been taken to give good literary style to it's material and tc
 render the presentation of the subject
 interesting. The theory and applica- tion of economics are treated together instead of being separated as in many of the modern books, and the study oi practical problems is made means oi developing and explaining scientific | theories.
 l In pursuance of this plan the Mall thusian theory has been treated in its
 application to practical problems oi
 poor relief. Theories of price and value have been used as an introduction te
 the study of modern methods of specu- lation. The position of the capitalist
 as speculator in the products of In dustry has been recognized more fully
 than has been hitherto done by any but
 socialistic writers,
 The theory of wages Is developed not l simply as a theory but in the applica
 tiohs to the problems of compulsory ar. bitration, the eight-hour movement | foreign immigration and protective tar, l ifs.
 The book is very handsome octave
 volume of 496 pages. The type used i. large and the excellent workmanship throughout places this publication fal beyond any work of it's kind heretofor, issued"
