 Rev. II. Dewitt Williams. also of Waterbury, spoke especially of the problems confronting the larger school. The work that might be accomplished by a school, he said, was independent of it's size, but the conduction of a larger school offered greater difficult ties.
 An open conference followed the ad- dresses. The questions discussed re- lated, for the most part, to the small school, and especially of the adv!sabil- ity of graded system of classes where the number of children is small and church facilities unfavorable.

YALE BOARD GOES UP.
MEN MUST PAY MORE.
Commons Adds Twenty-Five Cents to Cost on Regu-
 lar List.

The management of the Yale dining hall has announced that from May l5 on the price charged per week for reg ular board. that Is board aside from meat, fish, eggs and some other extras. will be charged at the rate of $S.25 per week instead of $3 This latter rate has prevailed for the past five or six years and in support of tho raise in price the management pointed to the well known fact that prices in everything had gone up a great deal during that period. However, the price on the extra list have kept pace with the market price all that time. Two years ago roast beef was eleven cents, now it is fifteen. The regular charge pays for such things as vegetables, soup, desert, milk. bread. butter and service. For these the management declares they must ask the increase of twenty-five cents week from each man.
 Naturally students are objecting, and 1t is probable that there will be num- Der of men who leave the cluh There is not much to be gained for the man who leaves though for most of the cat ing clubs are charging $6 week and the average expense at Commons is about s5.
 At the office of the club last night it was said that they expected things to so on exactly as before. Every week men leave and new men come in. The exit since the increase was an- nounced has not notably increased. The quality of food served for the past few years has remained about the same. Around the club complaints are often heard and opinions that commons is degenerating. But 1t is the opinion of many men who have eaten at the club for some time that things are as they have been. It is not likely that the increase will much affect the club in view of the high prices charged at outside places. The increase charge affects about 900 men.
