The saddest kind of failure is when
a housewife tries her best to have good
bread, but fails because the -four used
was of an inferior grade. To say that q
woman is disappointed under these Cir
cumstances does not express 1t, and her
mind is made up then and there to buy
a brand of -four the next time from
which she can bake good bread with
much less effort. Poor flour is dear al
any price. but some people, 1t would
seem, must have about 80 much expert
ence before they realize 1t. The Ban
ner flour, manufactured by Hammond
& Son Of LeGrand, is the best on the
market today. No failures. no disap-
pointments il you use It Try a sack.

school was opened A two-year course
 in forestry is now open to all grad
 uates. and to all persons over twenty years of age who can pass an examina-
 tion in the required subjects. In con- nection with the newschool, the Shef- field Scientific school has established g. course preparatory to the study of for estry which occupies the last two years of undergraduate life. This is design ed to permit those students in the Sci entif1c school who desire to pursue this course to complete the regular grad uate course in one year.
 In the middle of December 1900, Pres ident Hadley left Ne wHaven on an ex- tensive western trip. In Cleveland, Louisville, Chicago, St. Paul, Denver, Kansas City, St, Louis and Cincinnati, he addressed the alumni at their an nual banquets, giving plans for the Greater Yale and the Bicentenial, and asking their cooperation.
 He took two other trips in 1900-1901, one othe South and another through the West to California, always with the same end in view-to make the New Yale and the Bicentennial an un- precedented success.
 During his administration, Hendrie Hall, Fayerweather Hall, Woodbridge Hall and the new University Dining Hall have been erected. New buildings have been added to the Medical school, while Memorial Hall and the Auditor ium which will help surround the new Campus are now in process of con- struction.
 The new Sheffield Y. M. c. A. build ing, the gift of Mrs. A. M. Byers of Pa, is now going up. This will make a convenient and club house for Shelf. men, and will greatly add to the social life in that department.
 The Academic secret societies have undergone a great change during these past two years. owing to the efforts of Presidetn Hadley. The Sophomore so- cieties have been replaced by the ex- tension of the Junior fraternities into Sophomore year.
 All through his administration, the l president has been an untiring worker. 1 Always in close touch with the work In every department, and actively in terested in the Bicentennial celebra ton | ne will be in no small part responsible Tor its success.

 Courses and Departments-New
 Buildings and Gifts.
 Two years ago, October IS, 1899, Pro- | lessor Arthur Twining Hadley M. A., l ILL. D., Yale '76, was inaugurated 1 president of the Yale University, and since then many important changes have been made.
 In his inaugural address, President Hadley outlined his policy-aconserva- tive one. He pointed out the dangers attending the introductions of the pro- fessional schools into the university necessary as this change had been showed that the elective system, good for the best students, ran the risk of proving bad for students of ordinary ability; and explained how the larger classes, and demands for more advanc- ed and extensive teaching, had forced In the lecture system despite the evil dent advantages of the recitation.
 To escape the loss of esprit de corps attendant on the introduction of the elective system, he proposed four ways:
 First, by relegating the work of char acter development to the preparatory schools.
 Second by striving to limit the occa- sion for the use of money on the part of the student.
 Third, by endeavoring to create body of common interests .(athletic, etc.), and traditions outside of the col lege course, which shall make up for the diversity of interests within it.
 Fourth by so arranging the work of the various departments of study, that the variety inherent in the elective system shall not be attend ed with intellectual dissipation; pro- viding the chance for, economy of effort on the part of the instructors, and the assurance of systematic cooperation on the part of the pupils
 President Hadley began ta once to put the new system he had out lined into practice. The great body of elective courses were divided n- to three large groups-Language and Literature; Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Political and Social Sciences A student must take three years con- nected work in at least one of these great divisions, and at least two years connected work in each of the other two divisions. Where before Sopho- mores had only five or six courses open to them they now have a choice of five out of thirteen, while Juniors and Sen iors are only limited by the three-year rule spoken of above.
 The system of conditions was done away with after Freshman year. A stu dent was still to carry his entrance conditions, but if conditioned later, extra work would cancel this deficien- cy.
