Secretary Hines appeal for six days school is calling forth all kinds of com- msnts and very few of them are favora- ble to the plan. In our opinion we have school enough for any children in the five days week system and possibly too much for some children. And in connection with school going we agree with the physicians that seven years of age is young enough to start any child in s,hool studies and at fourteen the results attained gre just as gratifying as when the children are sent in their nursery age. We have school enough for both pupils and teachers.

The Hartford Courant has recently quoted figures to show that the popu- lstion of Connecticut IS increasing rap idly. Last year the returns to the state board of education showed an increase in the number of children in the whole state of 4,734. This year returns from 67 out of the 168 towns, representing about half the state, show net gain of 3,147. At this rate the increase this year will be about $500. In 1890 the population was 74,6258; careful statistician estimstes it as now between $50. GOO and S75, GOO.

will cease to be, the Chicago United

All OF these things are owing TO the
provisions Of Article II OF the military

signature of Governor Tanner.
For long time the officers Of the na-

an enactment which should prevent the

and The carrying Of arms by independent
military organizations. Now that the
law has gone into effect it is found that
Il is more sweeping in its effect than

The most striking feature Of the Amer

The Yale students have adopted &
new fad this year. 1t is promenadine

A1ind. It is the upper class men and so
Iciety men chiefly who are making them.
selves thus conspicuous.
It is a common occurrence on pleas
ant morning to meet five or six mer
walking together through the shop
ping district of the town, to all appear
ances perfectly unconscious that they
hre attracting attention. Last year tht
students, with the first blush of sum.
mer, conceived the idea of wearing
tremendous farmerlike straw hats. II
became such fad that the shopkeep.
ers had special supply sent to then
from the manufacturers. They were
hats of the kind usually kept by the
country grocer, and until the students
took them up were never found in the
swell shops,
Another recently adopted fad of this
season among the students is that OF

trousers turned up above the enl1les,

WORK OF SCIENCE.
IRnueace Of Sanitation and HyEIens
Upon City Life.


In recent lecture on what sanitation
has done for human life Prof. Brewer.
of Yale university, said that no one
doubts that human life has been pro-
longed By the application of science
in the last so years. How much, nathe-
matieally. this amounts to in years, IN
per cent, is an unanswerable question.
We can never have The data in figures.
Even if we had our vital statistics com
pleted for that period men would differ
as to the relative values of the several
factors In this problem. Our great
cities would not exist-they could not
exist-without the aids of science. We
have had the ancient Egyptian and
Greek and Roman civilizations, which
were pagan, and later Christian eiEili-
zation, and all were powerless to con-
vert practices. Between the epidemics
which ragged frosl time to time and the
high death rate IN the best years, the
population Of Europe as whole prob
ably scarcely Increased at all for 1000
or 1900 years. This century came in
without q single city in Christendom
with 100000 inhabitants, Paris had
in 1900 but $4,000; London and the
suburbs, in 1901, s64,s45. The other
English. cities had less than 100000.
Great cities could not endure then.
First the people could not be fed. Then
most of the food had to be produced
within 20 miles of the place of con-
sumption. Science has now made it
possible to transport food half way
around the globe and has discovered
new methods Of preservation as well.
City population was not self-perpetuat-
ing. Men died off; the death rate was
continually high, and from time to time
there was death by pestilence. Even
where there were sewers they were to
drain the ground of water rather than
to carry away sewage. Now cities are
made nearly as healthy as the country.
