A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE CENTURY
 MAGAZINE FOR APRIL.

Anita Newcomb McGee, M. D., is the only person in America whose offer of personal assistance in the pres ent Eastern war was accepted by the Japanese government and Red Cross society. As president of the Spanish American War Nurses and as repre- sentative of the Society of Red Cross of Philadelphia, she took a party of trained nurses to Japan for a period of six months of work in the army hos pitals of that country. All of these nurses had seen field service in the Nurse Corps of our own army, some in both Cuba and the Philippines, and even in China. Going without con- pensation, as all of the party did, they were welcomed as guests of the Japan csc nation and assigned to the posts of honor as nurses in the most impor- tant hospital of the army and on the finest hospital ships. They worked side by side with the Japanese nurses, gaining much benefit by this direct comparison of work and methods. Dr McGee has written for The Century the story of her experiences in Japan. The first of two articles is published in the April number.

Hal Merton, the well known magic ian, conjurer and ventriloquist, is booked to give one of his charming entertainments at the Town hall, Thursday evening, April .27, at 8 o'clock. It is a long time since New town people have had a chance to see the magician play his art, and especi- ally one so gifted as MT Merton. It has been well said that there are tricks in all trades, and that magic is the trade of tricks. MT Merton is en- gagged under the auspices of the Con- gregational church from the Star Ly- ceum Bureau, of New York City, which supplied the Foster Entertain CTS, who gave the entertainment at the Town hall on February 2l, that so greatly pleased the audience, and from which no talent has ever been sent to Newtown that has been disappointing. Reserve seats will be 35c and general admission 25c, and tickets will be on sale. The following numbers are a few of the wonderful things that MT Merton will do, and you can not pos sibly see how he does them: Bewitched Handkerchief, Comedy of Errors, h. visible Message, Mesmeric Ring, The Bewitched Bouquet. A special feat ure, the acme of mysticism, is catch ing gold fish in the air, using an ordi- nary rod and line.

Does our present university training take too many years of the average mans life? Will the problem be solved by shortening the college course, or by allowing the introduction of pro- fessional or technical studies within the limits of that course? There is no one better fitted to discuss these and kindred questions than the president of Yale university, Arthur T. Hadley, whose views on "The Immediate Flu ture of the American College" will be published in the April Century. 'Tbe college course is not valued solely or even primarily for it's studies," Pres ident Hadiey is quoted as saying; Git is valued most of all for the asSocia- tions into which it brings the student and the graduate. .... The American college tries to furnish liberal educa- tion in the old Greek sense of the word-an education which fits the student for the use of liberty and en- ables him to understand the duties and privileges of free citizen"
