SHEFFIELD COURSE.

Lecture on Yellowstone Park Last
 Night by Professor Howard w. Du-
 Bois.
 Professor Howard W. Dubois, who delivered the fourth lecture in the Sheffield Scientific school lecture course in College Street hall last evening, Through the Great Lakes of the Yel- lowstone," is well-known engineer,
 and has spent great deal of his time in exploring the uneivilized terri tory of British Columbia and the noun tains throughout the northwestern dis trict of the United States. While in this part of the country, Professor Du- Bois spent much time and trouble in search of platinum minerals, for which work he is very we'll known among sci- entists. He has written several books on the results of his extensive explora- tion trips, all of which are of absorb ing interest.
 Professor Dubois is well known to New Haven audiences, having delivered several brilliant lectures in preceding years in the Sheffield lecture course. This was his fourth invitation to lee- ture in New Haven. One of the great attractions of Professor DuBois lec- lures are the uniquely beautiful and rare illustrations which lie exhibits. However, Professor DuBois does not make a business of featuring through out the country, but simply accepted the invitation to lecture here as a compliment to the management of the Shelf. lecture course.
 Professor Howard Wadener DuBois was born in Philadelphia on September IS, 1868. After receiving a very good education he began the study of science and astronomy. In 1895 he was elected to the professorship in applied mathe- matics at the Philadelphia observatory While in this position, Professor Du- Bois made many interesting experi- ments in astronomical photography, which have been of great aid to the scientific world. At present he is presi- dent of the Philadelphia Geological club.

The interesting subject of teachers salaries is treated exhaustively. Ref erence is made to the report of the committee of the National Educational association, the chairman of which was Carroll D. Wright, in reference to teachers salaries throughout the coun> cities between 100, GOO mad 200,0O0cmfw try. This report shows that of the twenty cities between 100000 and 100000 population, New Haven stands third from the bottom on salaries paid ele- mentary school teachers, and fourth from the bottom of the list in salaries paid High school teachers. The report goes on to say that of the cities be- tween 3O,00O and 100000 there are com paratively few cities paying such low salaries as are paid by New Haven After referring to the fact that great many occupations besides teaching are now open to women, that the cost of living has increased about twenty per cent. during the past ten years, and that the efficiency of service is meas ured by the amount of salaries paid, the report suggests that the entire mat ter of teachers salaries be referred to the committee on schools for early con- sideration
 The report says that the present needs of the schools are
 1, Better salaries, and consequent higher average of teaching power.
 ?. Additional school buildings.
 3. A considerable increase in manual and industrial work of the schools.
 4. More men principals and men teachers in the grammar grades.
 5. Additional English speaking rooms in which children may be placed who come to this country without a Knowledge of the English language.
 6. Rooms for defective children, in which children who either are of lim- ited comprehension or who are defect i've in certain definite lines may be taught by special teachers
 In dealing with the subjectof truants and incorrigibles. the report of the su, tendency in managing these boys is that of placing them in special rooms with special teachers. There are two such rooms in New Haven, one at the Fair street school, and one at the Goffe street school. The report adds that it is possible to carry the idea of segregation of these pupils too far, and that they should nit be separated from other children and placed by themselves until they have proved in corrigible in rooms in which they regu- larly belong.
 While the Jamestown exhibit will be smaller and less comprehensive than the school exhibit of St. Louis, yet the report states that an effort is being made to render the exhibit one which will fairly represent the work of the New Haven schools. The exhibit will consist of material in arithmetic, geog- raphy, history, language, penmanship, drawing, kindergarten, sewing, music, seat work and manual training. The exhibit will be shipped from New Ha- ven to Jamestown by March l.

DORSCHT'S MOST BRILLIANT
CONCERT THAT WILL BE 4 DE-
 LIGHT TO ALI.

Some of the Choice Numbers to be
 Played by the Orchestra---Nfiss Emma
 Gleason, Lyric Soprano, soloist---
 Flute ObIigato by William HegeI-
 Herr Fichtl, Director.
 No more brilliant program could be offered than that to be given Sunday evening by the Dorscht orchestra under the dictatorship of Frank Fichtl at the New Haven theater. Full appreciation of it is already manifest in the unDre- cedented sale of seats. The concert to put 1t mildly, promises to be one of the most satisfactory and successful in the history of these pleasing entertain- ments. The program opens with the Dorscht march by Wiegand and will be followed by the beautiful overture "Phedre" by Messenet. A request num- Der will be a selection from Wonder land" by Herbert, which Director Fichtl says will prove decidedly popular
 Everyone is anxious to hear Miss Emma Gleason the soloist of the even- ing. Signor Sulli, her teacher, declares she will most delightfully."- meet the vo- cal requirements of the Mad Scene from Lucia di Lammernoor," her splen- did lyric soprano voice being equal to all the difficult ranges. She will be ac- companied with flute obhgato by Wil-s liam Hegel, which, as everyone knows, will add to the artistic note of the rem dition.
 Following the Miss Gleason number will come those airiest of selections the Dance of the Butterfiies,' by Cardre, an An Arabian Night" by Molineaux There is also a selection from Faust and Victor Herbert's original orches- tration of the American Fantasie."
 The public sale of tickets is now on and for this concert the box office will be open on Sunday from p. m. on. V

"FoRLoRN HOPE" MEDAL BILL
 DEAD

Washington, Feb. S.-The bill giving medals to those who took part in the "forlorn hope party during the civil war in front of Port Hudson is dead for this session, and probably for all time. The bill was introduced by Sem ator Bulkeley and passed the senate. Many Connecticut soldiers and de- scendants of veterans were interested in the bill All the Connecticut mem bers down here have been before the military affairs committee of the house, and urged the passage of the bill, but the committee has turned the bill down.
 The committee gives as it's reasons that General Banks had no authority to promise medals to any one; that the forlorn hope party did not perform the work for which it was formed, because 1t was found unnecessary when Port Hudson capitulated, and furthermore it would establish d very bad prece- dent. There are cases on record where the president of the United States promised medals to soldiers for the per- formanee of certain work, and yet these, medals have never been awarded by congress. For these reasons, the committee refuses to take any action on the bill. Senator Hawley tried to have the bill go through several years ago, but he met with the same opposi- ton, and it always failed.

We are apt to think that our being
