HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI.

The time seems to have come when
the alumni and alumnae Of the New
Haven high school land there are
many Of them influential in every walk
Of life in the city, should get a little
closer together. The alumni associa-
ton is no recent organization. Indeed,
II the number Of its members counted
for anything 1t would rank high
among similar organizations through
out the country. But, unfortunately
names on the roster do not always
mean hearty unity OF action or maxi
mum of utility.
A writer In the Teachers Journal OF
recent date suggested that possibly the
cause for this lack OF enthusiasm was
the fact that too much stress was put
on the college preparatory courses al
the school, The result has been that
the scholars not In these courses have
felt sighted. Not being "of the elect,
they have thought the honors while ir

they never developed fervent schoo
enthusiasm. The college-going schol-
ars, on the other hand. have found SC
many interests in the days after gradu.
alton that they have had little time OF
inclination to work for the interests OF
the alumni association. which has de.
pended mainly upon their efforts for It's
support and perpetuation.
The time has come for halt. These
petty jealousies should be put aside
The possibilities of the alumni asso.

than one per cent of a membership o.
4 900 should attend the meetings. -Four
thousand graduates should be able Il

only at the school, but with the board

oPEN-AIR RABIES HOSPITAL.

The time Of the year has come when
we must seriously think again of the
horrors Of the summer, for It has its
horrors no less hard to bear than those
Of the winter. Those intimately con-
nected with the regulation Of the milk
supply have already been heard from.
The important part milk plays in the
infant mortality of the city cannot be
overestimated, for Just as the babies
cannot live without milk, they cannot
live with bad milk.
Last year Hartford witnessed the es-
tabllshment Of a new institution along
this line which has been successful
from the very FIRST Reference IS made
to the open-air hospital for babies cons
Quoted for several months in Riverside
Park. The hospital is soon to be start
ed with justified enthusiasm this year.
Looked upon at first as a sort of fad OF
the Medical society, under the auspices
OF which 1t was run, II has Won a place
among the permanent institutions of
the Capitol city which will well bear
investigation and imitation here and
elsewhere The Society for the Inns

which is probably In a better way to
Judge OF the merits Of the babies hos
pital than most organizations, gives 1t
its unqualified approval The park
board gives the pick of locations in the
parks. The doctors give their services,
philosophical persons give funds free.
~. In short, the hospital has hit the
bulls-eye.
Surely New Haven would benefit by
similar institution either run in con.
nectlon with one of the hospitals or by
the medical society. Many suitable
park locations will suggest themselves
at once. where there will be the best
Of conditions. The same general rule:
might we'll be adopted. In Hartford on,
ly children less than two years Of age
which is the most critical period in tht
warm weather, are admitted, one Of
the best features In connection with the
babies hospital is the educational END
of IT, The mothers Of the children are
taught the basic hyglenic principles Of
the care of children; Of which the,
show a surprising ignorance and they
in turn teach their neighbors. Who vii
take the initiative in such a worthy
undertaking in New Haven?
