YALE NEEDS MORE eAYETY!

9ptain Smoke Says We Should Have
 More Social Gatherings.
 In continuation of the plan started
 the Yale News sometime ago, to sclose the deficiencies in undergrad te life at Yale by means of letters pm prominent men connected with University. Captain Smoke, pres t manager of University hall sends e following:
 D the Editor of the News:
 Dear Sir-In reply to your request write few words about the greatest eds of undergraduate Yale life, l puld say that my acquaintance with Ale University is probably not exten- Ere enough for my reparks to be of ach value However, there is one Fry noticeable difference here in un- rgraduate life from my own college e and from some of the other uni rsities where l have had work. It is *e lack of general social gatherings the students. So far as I have yet |arned, there are one or two recep- |Rns to the Freshman Class during |e first term. After that comes the Eanior Prom. and then the Senior Tom. At these two Proms, a great Hal of money is spent and some of it. I least, seems to me unnecessary bmpare these social functions with e social life of the military academy, &nducted also by classes, and think |e balance is in favor of the Acade- g. There are no social functions. he other three years a man exercises tastes about attending social gath ngs, but all of the official hops and rmans are open to him. These gath ngs are conducted by the Senior ass, and during my time they consist
 of one hop every two weeks during e study. part of the year-that is, pm September to June-and from ne to September one german and o hops a week. This doubtless seems be rather gay. but all of these off, Rl dances cost less than the two oms. here, There the dancing com- enced at 7:30 and was closed by the ating of a drum as the clock struck n. There were no refreshments and
 unusual loss of sleep, and absolutely
 expense to a cadet.
 Df course, there is a great difference the environment, and the surround conditions usually cause the cus- ms to grow up. But I have thought. tn the advent of Woolsey Hall, and
 adaptability to class dances and r111a ms with it's massive architecture d beauty of decoration, that some ss might very properly add to it's *rial life by using this Hall more fre- 4ently.
 One other need is that which should
 filled by the recent student organi- ztion for assisting in the successful Engagement of University Hall.
 Very respectfully,
 tSigned) SAMUEL A. SMOKE.

HIS FRENZY VANISHED THEN.

When the. Undersized Negro Saw Who His Opponent Was. 4 black gang of street hands. engaged on pipe-laying job in South Washing ton street, were regaling themselves during the noon hour few days ago in Jim Crow groggery to which they happened to be handy. One of them was gigantic black, about feet finch es in height, whose. rolled-up sleeves exhibited arms with muscles on them standing out like huge effusions of resin If it would have been no trick at all for him to hold barrel of flour out at arms length.
 He was leaning up against the bar, eating his bucket dinner with a big, leaning high hat" to render it less dry, when an excited-looking little black man, carrying his coat on his arm, bounded through the swinging doors of the groggery. He was about 5 feet inches short, and, compared to the Nubian giant at the end of the bar he looked something as Shetland might when ranged alongside Perch eron. But what he lacked in inches he appeared to make up in aggressiveness Plainly he had blood in his eye and chip on his shoulder.
 He skated over to the center of the bar-roorn, tossed his coat onto the floor jumped on it, and then demanded in a frenzied shriek:
 An wants tuh see de coluh O de |nigguh whut beat up nah brothuh las night"
 The loungers of the street gang turn ed from the bar and regarded him curi- |ously and silently. The silence with which they received his defiance seem ed to lend courage to the undersized black He jumped on the wadded-up coat couple of more times, glared around him fiercely, and again yelled with all his might:
 "Ahm waitin' fo' tuh hab peek at |de onnery, blue gummed coon what beat up nah brothuh at de pahloh SO cial las night!'
 Then the gigantic Ethiopian at the end of the bar tossed the remnant of the vast schooner of malt into his system, wiped off his lips with the back of his hand, and strclled over to the middle of the groggery floor, where the little black was looking defiant. Placing vast paw on his hip in an easy atti- tude, the giant inclined himself for ward and leaned down so he could look into the small blacks face, and he said in low, indifferent tone:
 "Ah'm de nigur whut beat him."
 All of the aggressiveness seemed to percolate out of the undersized black at the sight of the gigantic frame of the man bending over him. His eyes rolled and his features twitched. Then he reached down and picked up his stamped-on coat and began to nudge toward the door As he shuff1ed toward the door he stopped long enough to say to the grinning black giant: Well, man, yo sho-ly come uh-nigh uh-killin' him."
 Then he shot through the swinging doors and took down the street as if all the uniformed Dorsey Foultz chas- CTS in the District of Columbia were fter him.-From the Washington Post.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

 schools
 The board of education held a meet
 ing in its rooms last night The com
 mittee on schools, Messrs. Moran, Ull-
 man and Jackson, recommended that section 127 of the board regulations be
 amended 50 that the appropriate com
 mittee shall have power to pay the saI-
 ary of an employe whom contagious
 disease in the family or home or neigh
 borhood prevents from working, if such
 be its will. It adds that an employe
 must avoid absence for this cause, if
 possible. If the health officer thinks
 the teacher has left the house before
 being affected by the disease, on the
 health officers certificate the teacher
 may continue her duties
 Superintendent Beede. who attended the meeting of the National Superin- tendents' association held in Atlanta,
 Ga, February 23-5, read a report of it. Among the topics discussed were the following:
 'The School Exhibit at the St. Louis
 Exposition"-H. J. Rorers. chief of the department of education at the exposi- ton; w. T. Harris, United States com
 missioner of education, and others.
 Educational Needs of the South"-- c. w. Dabney, president of the Univer- sity of Tennessee.
 Administration and Supervision"- Miss Alice Reynolds, of New Haven, and others.
 St. Louis, MT. Beede said, will spend s2000O on it's school exhibit at the ex- position. Superintendent Beede closed as follows:
 In Atlanta visited the Atlanta uni versity, a university for the education Jf colored men and women; the colored school of the American Missionary as- sociation and two city public schools-a | cclored school and white school. The latter was a thoroughly good school; it would be called a good school in any northern city. There were features of l the work in which the teachers seemed to take special pride, especially that of mental arithmetic, in which the chil- dren worked with great rapidity. In the colored school also excellent work was being done This was especially 1 noticeable in the lowest primary grade. The children in this grade read with the rapidity and facility of well trained children. All the teachers ill the col- ored schools were colored men and. wo- men. A sharp line is drawn between the colored schools and the white schools.
 Tn Savannah I visited one large white school containing fifteen hundred pupils and colored school of several hundred children. The latter were not as well housed and not as well taught es the former. An interesting feature 1 of the Savannah schools is that there
 are no distinctively city schools. The 1 school system is a county system, and l all school expenses are paid by county l taxes. The board of education consists I of nine members, six of whom appoint their own successors e and the other 1 three are appointed by the county conn 1 lnissioners. The superintendent oi | schools, Mir Ashmore 5sseemed to take l great pride in telling me that the 1 schools of Savannah were kept entirely out of politics"
