PROF. ALLEN DISCUSSES
THE SCHOOL. SANITATION

School sanitation is today receiy-
ing widespread attention. The de-
velopment of the mind and the de-
velopment of character are import
ant. but what is a fine mind worth
or how can character be strong in
a weak, sickly body? a well rounded
nature, with the aid of good judg-
ment and strong intellect, builds a
magnificent character upon the foun-
dation of healthy. vigorous body.
Many schools are today having medi-
cal inspection of each pupil The
object is to see that the pupil is
cheanly in habits and free from any
diseases which may be taken by
other pupils. While we may not be
able at present to have daily medi-
cal inspection in our city schools yet
Jhe teachers. acting with the hearty
cooperation of the parents, may ac-
complish much for the children's
health. The ideal school building
would be a sanitary home for the
!shildren during the six hours OF
school. 1t would be we'll and scien-
/ tifically lighted. Ii would have the
right temperature. namely, not below
IS degrees nor above 40 degrees f
1t would be perfectly ventilated SC
that each pupil in large room would
be constantly breathing pure, whole
lsome air Each desk and seat would
be accurately adapted to each pupil
The room would be free from dust
which is the cause of spreading dis
ease and Is often the beginning of
disease in an Individual.
! Until these ideal conditions exist
the teacher has a difficult problem
to solve. 1t the room becomes close
and she raises the window to obtain
a supply of fresh air. the parents
complain, sometimes justly, that the
child catches cold from the draught.
| If she does not supply the pure air
the child's power of resistance is
lessened and his vitality lowered by
| breathing air which soon becomes
foul in room full of children, un-
less by some arrangement. fresh air
is supplied and the air which has
| been used in breathing is carried
away According to statements by
reliable physicians many more chill
dren are injured by breathing impure
air than by injurious affects of fresh
| air that enters room. Very many
children in this city are rendered
susceptible to catching cold by home
conditions. In many homes the child
has little fresh air if any. to breathe
during the night. because the bed
room windows are closed when they
should always be wide open. Many
children in the winter season come
| from homes where the thermometer
would register so, 50 and sometimes
even 80 degrees f. and above. Com
! ing from the intense heat of such a
I temperature the body is chilled un-
duly by the ordinary fresh air out of
doors. The pores of the skin quick
/ ly close, and a cold is the result
| We earnestly ask for the parents
assistance in helping the teachers to
keep the boys and girls in good ply
! steal condition so that their school
work may be effective and gratifying
to both parents and teachers.

FEEDERS.

We are still feeding the world" and the orators wont have to omit or alter
 the good old phrase this year. But other feeders are looming up in q way
 which threatens our oratory, if not our orators. One of the most notable fea- lures of commercial growth in South Africa during the past year has been the almost abnormal development of her export trade in soil products, apart from gold and precious stones. This agricultural activity, it is thought. is due in great measure, if not entirely, to the display of South African fruits, grain, and farm produce shown at the South African exhibition in London last spring. The farmers in South Africa are beginning to realize that their fruit and grain, notably mealies. are sought after in London: and so i'm portant has the trade become that Cape Colony and Natal have each ap- pointed special officers, attached to the department of their agents-general in London, whose special duty it is to an. swer inquiries concerning the produce of their respective colonies and inform

A CRUMB OF COMFORT.

There is at least a crumb of comfort in almost any of the uncomfortable things, so one can be found in the div idend-cutting that Is becoming rather conspicuous. The crumb in this case is that it is better to cut dividends to a point which the earnings indicate than to draw too heavily on surplus or borrow money. Proper cutting of divi- dends leaves things at the end of the dull period In much better shape than straining to keep up dividends that have not been earned. So, while such christening is not pleasant for those who depend on income from invest ments, 1t can be better and more safe ly endured for a season than the other thing could. In some cases the divi- dend-cutting is an indication of wiser financiering than that which has pre- vailed, for which all concerned ought to be thankful. Some of the lessons are being learned.

AN REFRIGERATOR.

It is fine thing to be born in Mas sachusetts, and there are people who somewhat adequately appreciate the honor and the privilege One of them is Norman w. Harris of Chicago, who is perhaps richer in Chicago than he would have been had he stayed in Massachusetts. Be that as 1t may. now that he is rich his mind generous ly turns to the loved spots that his infancy knew in Beckett. which is in the western part of Massachusetts. He announces that he will defray a part of the cost of the education of every Beckett youth in an outside high school or college. under certain regulations, during a fixed period of four years. What he does. in effect, is to establish number of scholarships for the boys in town which cannot support the costly secondary schools to be found in the cities. and thus he aids materi- ally in promoting the interests of the local community in which he was reared.

SPORADIC.

Anything can happen. So Mrs. Bar bara Schenck of Tompkinsville, Staten Island, goes to jail for beating her husband Schenck had his wife and her mother in court on a summons re- ouirlng them to show cause why they should not repay borrowed money. As the party left the courtroom after de- cision had been reserved Mrs. Schenck punched and slapped her husband. She attempted to repeat the beating, but was restrained by court officers. Her husband fled from the courtroom. and she announced that after her release she would give him a more severe beating than before,
 This Is not tho usual thing. Only a sporadic case, as the doctors might say. We read often of mans inhum- anty to woman. displayed in heat. ing her. So often that humane men talk about revivlng the whipping post for such folks. But there arc few women like Mrs. Schenck. Perhaps there ought to be more, but until there are, and until we see that they are needed, 1t may be well enough to go on In thankfulness that there are not more.

OUR BOOKSELLERS FRIENDS.

The New Haven automobile eXhibi- tion is a success and appeals with force to those who still dwell in a land of ever increasing mystery when mechanics come under consideration and contemplation. It is one thing to drive through the country in a comfortable auto and clip towns off the map as John D. clips coupons. but 1t is another thing to understand the horsefess vehicle.
 A visit to the exhibition cannot fail to increase ones stock of information as to terms and expressions which belong to the automobile cult. It has a language of its own as any other vocation has. and If we in our dense ignorance fail to converse in 1t 1t is not from a lack of genuine interest. As to the baseball field, or in place where they make electricity, we mar vel at the knowledge which comes so trippingly from tho tongue and leave better American than before. Good luck, we say, to the New Ha- ven automobile show. Our readers cannot spend an evening more profit ably than there, and perhaps they may l learn to talk in the quaint language which belongs to the autoist and be made happy thereby.

IN THE SAME OLD GRASP.

We have read much about the four hundred, and now we are reading about the one hundred The one hundred have been discovered by Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin. There are one hundred men, he asserts, who control the industrial, financial and conner cial life of the American people" In their grasp" is 'the destiny of the republic" He names them.
 This Is perhaps more interesting than impressive. Aside from the fact that just now the one hundred may be in serious doubt whether they control any thing. it may confidently be stated that the destiny of the republic is not in their grasp. It is where it has al ways in the grasp of the mil lions who belong neither to the one hundred nor to the four hundred. There are no indications that it isn't goins to stay there Indeed, the indications now are that it is, and that the grasf is going to be just about what it ought to be. The people know that the one hundred are very useful citizens, and the one hundred mean to be useful cit izens. There is better feeling and better realization of the situation al around, and the republic isn't rocking on its stable and solemn foundations yet.

CTS and in order to keep them in cneck and under proper restraint the senators should be almost as careful in avoiding deliberate contact with practical politics as the justices of the supreme court. The State of Penn sylVania and the State of New York have gained nothing but have lost much on account of the political ac- tlvities of their senators. The digni- ned view taken by MT. Platt and Mir. Hawley of their positions brought in many ways to the State of Connecticut power and voice in the counsels of the nation which might not have been secured at all by intellectual and political ability.

GENTLEMEN CRYING PEACE.

The Peace Association of Friends, of Philadelphia, doesn't like the plan to spend s6O.00O,0O0 for battleships. docks, etc. It doesn't like a great navy, un- less there is national peril It points out that no such peril appears in any direction On the contrary, within a year the action of the second Hague conference did away with the bonn bardment of unfortlfied towns, and three-fourths of the countries of the world went on record as advocating the protection of private property at sea in time of war; assurance was giv- en of the establishment of a court of nations at the Hague, and the cause of international arbitration treaties re- ceived renewed life. A large and rap idly increasing part of our popula- escape economic, social and govern mental conditions created by military burdens and the inheritance of old wars. These citizens are not in sym pathy with a movement to restore them to condition from which they sacrificed much to be free.
 All true as preaching, and even truer than much of the preaching. But these and other gentlemen may cry peace, peace, for long time yet. The Powers don't feel safe with each other. and until they do there is national per IF all around. If they would all disarm they would feel safer and be safer. If only one did-the United States, for in- stance-how long would that one feel safe or be safe?

their general court, would never is- sue a charter to a competing railroad company. What they are learning now is that no new monopolistlc powers are to be created, nor is there to be a modification of the right to control by the government A com bination is being presented which means increased advantage to all con- cerned.
 The amusing phase of the otherwise very serious report upon an import ant matter relates to the hesitation of the people of Massachusetts to let go the control of it's last railroad. The report practically says that Massa- chusetts would be tickled to death if the proposition was to have the Bos- ton and Maine swallow the New Ha- ven company. It has all along been suspected that the real reason for the opposition to the merger had its origin in state vanity. the painful realiza- ton of the states weakness in con trolling the railroad situation. The merger would have been accomplish ed months ago had the big yellow building on Meadow street been locar- ed on any of the streets of Boston. This is clearly stated between the lines of the elaborate report now sub mitted to the general court of Massa- chusetts, and which will be accepted as the only escape from a situation more or less desperate.

Women Defled Church Rule.

Six splendidly clad young women,
not the least of their grandeur being
represented by the latest examples of
millinery art, swept into the First
Presbyterian church one night and
seated themselves in the most advan.
tageous seats of this the most select
house of worship in the city, says the
Seattle Times. The six did not re-
semble conspirators bent on revolu
tionary and rebellious tactics, but they
were and they won their point.

hats" commanded Rev. DIR. Matthews,
when his calm glance over his congre,
cation revealed the fact that one OF
the standing rules of the church was
being violated right under the minis.
terial nose.
There was no responsive action on
the part of the six. The st was
repeated in still firmer tone, hut the
rebels sat firm, and after pause of q
minutes duration the divine began his
sermon while the six sat straight with
their plumes Haunting pean of vic
