TRIBUTE 10 HIGH SCHOOLS
LOCAL ONE IS PRAISED
Dean Wright in His Annual Report Speaks Highly of
 State Institutions.

Dean Henry P. Wright, of the Acad- emic department of Yale university, in his annual report on tie work of his department for the past years pays a very high tribute t. the Connecticut High schools in preparing their pupils for college. He shows that, in the last Il Yale college classes, 3S4 students have received their preparation in the v Connecticut high schools which pre- pare for college a majority of the Con- nectieut students entering Yale.
 Of these New Haven has sent 10S, Hartford IF, Bridgeport 25, Meriden 1S, Waterbury r, and Torrington g. Of the 348 students entering the col- lege, 94S graduated. Their average conditions were 1,1S as compared with l.2S from Connecticut private schools and 1855 average for their classes. The average standing in four classes of Connecticut high school men was from fifteen to twenty hundredths higher than for the rest of their class. Dur ing 8 period of 20 years there have been only three classes in which can- dldates from Connecticut high schools have not won either the Chamberlain or Galpin prizes for best entrance ex- animation or received honorable men | tlon
 Of these students eighteen were pre- pared in the New Haven High school and eleven in Hartford. No other i preparatory school anywhere has equalled the record of the New Haven High school in the Chamberlain and Galpin competitions and only one Phillips academy, Andover, Mass, has surpassed Hartford High school, Dean Wright also gives a list of 16C scholarships and prizes won by Con- necticut High school men in eleven Yale college classes up to and includ- ing the class of 1906, besides other hon. ors and many editorships of college periodicals. In closing his reference tC the subject he says:
 The record made by the graduates of the Connecticut High schools in the examinations for admission to Yalt college and in their classroom work from the beginning of freshmen to tht end of the senior year is one highl! creditable to the schools and to tn, state. The great success of the bes candidates from these schools in tn
 competition for the Chamberlain ant
 the Gapin prizes is proof of the com parative thoroughness of their in struction in Greek and Latin. Thei
 rank in scholarship and prominenc among the winners of scholarship hon

 Walter Wellman, the celebrated Arc tic explorer, has a second paper in the July McClure's on the airship trip to the Pole, which he expects to make in month. In this article, which he calls "WiIl the America fly to the pole?" he describes his marvellous airship Amer ica," and tells of dozens of ingenius inventions embodied in it that have never before been used by aerial nav igators. Some idea of what gigantic ship the America" is may be gained from a few of the many proportions and figures he gives Its length is 1S3 feet, and it's greater diameter is 52.5 feet The steel car underneath it is 1l5 feet long, and from the bottom of this car to the top of the gas reservoir the distance Is 65 feet, the height of four story house The surface of the gas- reservoir or balloon is 2400O square feet, or more than half an acre, and the weight of the cotton, silk and rubber l is two tons. When the ship sets out , upon it's voyage it will embrace more l than 10000 pounds-ten tons-of mater | ial and cargo" There are crew of 1 four men, 12 dogs with sledges, in struments of all sorts, sleeping and cooking gear, boats, oars, skees, guns ammunition, etc, which weigh more than ton. There are also in the car. go more than ton of provisions and three tons of gasoline.

He tells of the Arctic advantages tC airship navigation, of peculiar Arctic difficulties and of the almost incredl. ble inventions by which they hope tc overcome them, of their chances fo fair winds-worked out from scientific obserVations-of the busy life during
 their voyage when each man of tn cTew must be on duty eighteen hour of each day, and of the four strings tt their bow, or four plans of action; tn,

cHIL DLARoR LAW.
Youngsters Under Fourteen Can't
 During Vacations.

Secretary c. D. Hine, of the board of education, has given an =. depreciation of the state law as to the. employment of children during vaca- ton. Giles Potter was in this city Sat urday examining children, and gave the ruling, with Mr. Hines opinion. The ruling is:
 "No child under fourteen years of age, either during the school term or out of it, may be employed in any me- chanieal. mercantile or manufacturing establishment"
 It was the opinion of certain New Haven people that the children could be employed in the factories or in the stores during the vacation period with out coming within the provisions of the law.
 Section 47O4 of the Revised Statutes covers the case and is much stronger than that portion which refers to the school attendance of children under fourteen and under sixteen. According to the opinion of MT. Hine, children under fourteen may be en- ployed in farming or some kindred oc- cupation which does not come within the provisions of the law, but nearly all other occupations do

WHY THE LEAVES TURN.
Said Not to Be Due to Frost, but to
Oxidation.
From Country Life in America.

From Country Life in America.
The common idea regarding autumn
coloring is that frost causes the brilliant
color of the leaves. This popular fallacy
is without foundation in fact, for frost has
absolutely nothing whatever to do with
tinting of the leaves except that it hastens
their fall.
Let those who do not believe this state
ment go out in the swamps two weeks or
even a month before frost and they Will
find occasional naples scarlet as they
ever are seen in September or October
1t Is curious fact that quite young
trees are usually the first to turn red.
Autumn coloring is actually due to oXidi-
cation, which is caused by the action or
light and heat, somewhat similar to the
rust on iron With leaves II is due to the
fact that in fulfilling their mission they
become choked by their own excretions,
and the acids thus formed are acted on
by the oxygen.
In extremely moist atmospheres the
colors are not usually very bright, as in
England, for example. And in very dry
climates the leaves dry up suddenly, ana
their skin, which is very thick to prevent
the escape of moisture, is not sufficiently
transparent to allow of the color being
seen beneath. In the regions where the
autumn foliage is most vivid we ma that
an average season produces the finest col
ors. Neither a very dry nor very wet
summer and early autumn Will result IN
much briliancy.
The extraordinary range of colors IN
trees of a single species is very noticeable,
particularly so with the sugar naples;
and it is remarkable that an individual
tree will continue the same colors year
after year; not only that, but the same
branch will show the first tinge of color
year after year. 1 have in mind two
naples that 1 have watched for four
years.
Each of them has a particular branch
that proclaims the advent of autumn near
ly two weeks before any of the other
leaves show any sign of changing. Pre-
eoual in yigor to the rest of the tree, but
why one of these trees should turn to
brilliant cadium yellow while the other
becomes a rich orange tinged with GRIM
son in parts is difficult to understand be-
cause the conditions under which both
trees grow are apparently identical.
