ONE MORE 0UESTTON.

The old question, What shall we do with our girls? doesn't seem to be as disturbing as 1t used to be- Perhaps this is because the girls are answering 1t by doing what they please with themselves and doing it pretty well. Just now the question, What shall we do with our boys? is looming tip. pr. Thomas Stockham Baker asserts that we are not doing right with them. He says that the schoolboy of to-day does not do enough work and that he is the creature of so many distractions that the real object of going to school is forgotten. Dr. Baker maintains that the boys of to-day are too old and that they have lost much of the charm of boyishness in their efforts to ape the manners of their elders. He planes the varied engagements Of the school boys and their high pitched amuse- ments for a condition of affairs which he believes is not conducive to the welfare of the boys in general.

ly to attempt to compensate members
 of the Board of Finance who are not now salaried officers by reason of their
 place in the government. It would kill entirely the spirit of public spirit
 which does not enforce itself, and it would inevitably include membership
 on the board among the plums to be
 awarded the faithful If the municipal
 government in it's present form is to
 be retained the reliance of the city
 must be had upon the forces which now pertain without giving the fullest satisfaction, as the resignation of tlIese three gentlemen shows. If it were pos sible, as it should be, to consider a simpler form of local government which would recognize local govern ment as business and not as politi-
 cal undertaking it might be conceiv-
 able that Board of Finance could be organized which would make for bet ter results. To feel that the present or
 ganization may at any time so work as
 to call to the Board of Finance men
 who are not experienced in the ques-

 to say the least warrant for the con-
 sideration of simplifled government
 in which expert judgment may be re- tained and adequately paid for.

4 CURIOUS COYT LiCT.

The city of New Britain is confront ed with curious conflict of official views between Mayor Landers and City Attorney Mitchell. The cause of their difference of opinion Is the en- forcement of the Sunday observance laws. The view taken by the mayor is that dictated by business experience; that taken by the city attorney is that determined by his education as a lawyer. Incidentally 1t would appear that the mayor had in the pride of conviction himself violated the laws
 It appears that a year ago the mayor considered the general question of Sunday observance with the repre- sentatlves of the business men and came to a conclusion which moved along the line of least resistance. Re- gently the city attorney called public attention to the laws, evidently for the instruction of those who were more or less busily but not extensively engaged | in the task of breaking them. In par ticular he moved against local the- atre which has been giving moving picture shows Sunday evening. Natur- ally a stormy controversy arose in which everybody but the city attorney has taken part. The mayor explained now a year ago he had considered the matter with the business men and how an agreement had been reached which he had every reason to believe was satisfactory to all concerned. Then ir order that there might be no misun, derstanding of his position as stand. batter he went out of his way the fol. flowing Sunday evening to visit the the. atre where the moving pictures were being exhibited.
 It was at this stage of the game tha' the father of the city attorney con. cluded that it was time he took ( hand, the Hon. Charles B. Mitchell formerly United States Patent Com. missioner.

MORRIS FRANKLIN 7YLER.

Yesterday morning New Haven was shocked by the announcement of the death of another of her most useful and distinguished citizens. Morris Franklin Tyler had lived only fifty nine years. but those years had been crowded with Important and success ful work The. scope of his activity was wide In literature, law, teaching, finance and business he made his mark and that mark was conspic- uous one. He was as industrious as he was able and versatile and he got through great amount of work with apparent ease. and with plainly appar- ent efficiency His untimely death in dicates that he used his large and va ried powers with too little regard for his own well-heing, but he could not be otherwise than diligent and faithful in whatever was before him to do He might perhaps have managed to live longer had he been less persistent and less intense in his devotion to his 1 tasks.
 MT. Tyler was man of much strength and solidity of character. EIe was an original and independent thinker. He looked deeply into things and had strong opinions and strong ways of expressing them. He was firm reliable and just in his dealings with his fellow men, and won the respect to which he was well entitled by his native quality, his requirements ant his successes. The great business o. which he was the head, and the othel great enterprises in whose manage, ment he was associated lose in hil death much that was valuable t them. New Haven loses 0 thoroughly good and helpful citizen, who hat made his life successful and useful b. strict adherence to right principles an' uncommon devotion to duty

sHhFF TRUsrE1s' REPORT.


 It will undoubtedly come as reason for great satisfaction to those interest ed in, or connected with, the Sheffield Scientific School to hear that the trus- tees of that institution have just made public for the first time report of the finances they are controlling The ever-increasing size of the entering classes in Shelf and the widening sphere of influence that the school Is sure to fill, make it especially gratify- ing that at this time the trustees should decide to tell what they ure accomplishing, and doubly so when what they are accomplishing is s5 worthy of praise. No taxes are to be avoided by neglecting to make pub lie statement of the finances. The college properties do not pay any taxes, as Is we'll known. And there is nothing to be ashamed of in the re- 1 port, but, rather, much cause for real pride on the part of the men who arc serving on the board. The hope cannot but be expressed that this will be but the beginning of a series of similar annual statements to come out, the same as those made by the University treasurer for the rest of the Univer- sity.
 The report is conservative in it's es- inmates of valuations. The figures were made out for August 1, 1907, at which time the holdings were put down as worth $1,S1S,O63, though we are told on good authority that the true valua. tions are much higher, in fact such as to raise the sum total to $2,200, 900, oi more. The amount is made up princi- pally of bonds, stocks, real estate, ant buildings. One point of interest has been brought out in connection witt the latter classification. This is the fact that the student roomers in the two Vanderbilt dormitories in Shef are receiving more than double wha they pay for The returns for the two halls show net income of about SIP. TOO The valuation of the land and tn, buildings is far in excess of $500, 900 But even at that figure five per cent income should bring $30,OOO a year This means that the students get tn, difference, or $17,300, gratuitousl, from donors of the buildings.
 It is perhaps to be regretted tha the Sheffield School should have sep arate fiscal powers, but since the dee, of gift from MT, Sheffield was mad that way, it is a source of gratifca ton that the Sheffield trustees hay decided to abandon their mystica methods and make their doings publi property. To hide financial informa tion tends always to open the way fo attacks upon the legitimacy of the un dertaking.

It would seem quite as reasonable to send money up in the Lake Superior region to move the iron ore, No place has more money than the West.

At Worsley (England) there are two clocks on Lord Ellesmere's estate so arranged as to strike thirteen at the hour of one. One of these is over the new entrance to Worsley Hall, in the center of Worsley village. It orig inally gave time to the employees at the Duke of Bridgewater's works in the neighborhood. It is said that the duke had the clock made to strike thirteen because his workmen some times pleaded excuse for being late af- ter the dinner hour owing to the fact that they did not hear the clock strike one.

A study of the atmosphere over the Arctic seas gives little encouragement to balloonists seeking the pole. From July to December of last year Profes- sor Hergesell, of strasburg, was with the Prince of Monaco in high attitudes up to eighty degrees.

Following isan extract fromthe speech
OF Col Joseph II. Acklen, State warden.
10 the farmers convention held at Knox
vile Thursday, May 90, 1907:
"Thepeople Of the State and the farm
ers and landowners particularly are to be
congratulated that the last Legislature
wiped from the statue books all local laws
Tor the protection of game and fish, and
extended the warden and license system
TO the whole State. We have now good
general law forthe protection Of our game
and fish applicable to every county in
. Tennessee, but however good a law may
be, 1t will remain practically dead let
teruness backed up by public sentiment.
TO pass a law is one thing, to enforce
1T quite another. Now the enforcement
of the game, fish and forestry laws is in
the hands of the wardens 1t is, there
lore, OF the very greatest Importance that
these wardens should be competent, rei-
able and energetic men, andfurthermore,
men who will exercise discretion in full
filling their duties. There should be a
warden in each civil districtof the State.
The people who are most interested in
the game and fish laws are the farmers
and landowners, but if they sit still and
do not take even the trouble to recon-
mend good men for appointment in their
respective counties and districts, how
can they expect to have their property
