there is any, consists generally of

at the Massachusetts, state farm,
where the workhouse conditions are
far better than in most correctional
institutions where misdemeanants of
the vagrant or inebriate class are con-
fined, the industries maintained seem
to be far more largely carried on as
sentences than as chances to earn
a living.
MANY Of the cities use the Bertillon
4V4 system of Identification measure
ments. One chief reports asking the
usual questions" another the name
and address"-as though a Migrants
name and address would be of value!
What contrast is this to the elabor-
ate Belgian system for the Identified
ton of Migrants, which centers in the
easier centrale de vagabondage, a
general Identification bureau at Brus-
sells? In Belgium the process of trying
an arrested vagrant is speedy and
thorough. AS soon as the police arrest
vagrant they communicate by tele-
graph with Brussels. Within a few
hours there is sent back from Brus-
sells by telegraph a full description of
the vagrant and of his previous career.

We are long way yet FROM any gen.
eral deterioration on the part of women,
but there has been a sufficient lowering of
the standard to give us pause. Has this
been necessary to awaken the slumbering
consciences of men? Many a man has
been cured of intemperance by seeing his
son brought home in a state of intoxication.
The custom of drinking ran riot in the
southern states until the dominating class

AestxIsns Shells For German Navy.

Experiments are now being carried
out on German warships with acety-
lene shells, which, 1t is believed, will
take the place Of the electric search
light used hitherto by warships. These
shells contain calcium carbide, and the
water can reach it through tube. The
shells are fred by gun built specially
for the purpose. On being fred the
shell goes under water and then rises
to the surface, and the action of the
water upon the calcium carbide pro-
duces the acetylene light Each shell
is said to have 5000 candle power and
win burn for three hours. The great
drawback of the ordinary searchlight
is that, although 1t affords some pro-
lection from the unobserved approach
Of torpedo boats, it yet makes the war
ship using it an excellent target. The
new aeetylene shell referred to will
have the great advantage Of lighting
up a given space, while the vessel that
fires it will be left in darkness.

WoMEN'S PIE EATING CONTEST
Required BY Rules Not to Use Knife
or Fork or Hands,

Required by Rules Not to Use Knife
or Fork or Hands.
The latest fad among the women Of
Red Bank, N. j., is pie biting. 1t was
STARTED by the Daughters of Liberty of
the Highlands and is spreading rapid
" to other women's clubs and organi-
cations in Red Bank. Several prizes
already offered and won by quick pie
eaters are handsome, and their DOS
SCISSORS are exceedingly proud of them.
The fad threatens to put bridge whist
in second place.
It Is not an easy task which is set
for the contestants. The plan is to get
a big, juicy pie. preferably one filed
with blackberries or huckleberries.
The pie is quartered, and the pieces
are placed on separate plates. At
prearranged signal four women begin
race to see which can eat her piece
OF pie first. What makes it particu-
larry exciting is the fact that no con-
testant is permitted to touch the pie
with her hand or with knife or fork.
She must do everything with her
mouth and nose. If the pie slips off
the plate she must push it back with
the tip Of her nose and then tackle 1t
once more with her lips and teeth. BY
the time she is through with it the
juice Of the blackberry or huckleberry
pie is distributed over her face. The
other women and the men who are
permitted to witness the contests lend
encouragement by good natured badi-
mage and laughter.
The contest may be engaged in by
any number Of women if there are
enough pies. Thus far there has been
no dearth of women eager to decorate
their faces with blackberry and hue
kleberry juice and to run the risk of
throwing their digestive organs out of
gear in the effort to win vases, cut
glass bowls, chatting dishes and other
prizes offered.

State Register for 1908

The Connecticut State Register and Manual for 1908 has been issued. This issue gives the vote on the proposed con stitutional amendment in the form of a revision of the constitution, an abstract of the duties of the attorney general and list of those who have held the office. and a list of the new commissions created by the last General Assembly, While these additions have been made, nothing has been omitted which has served to make the book so valuable in years past. While the work is compared with similar publications issued by other states the value of the Connecti- cut work is very obvious, for no state in the Union issues more complete or more carefully edited publication of it's kind.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
It is Advocated by Superintendent of Schools.


 EDITOR NEWS,
 There never has been time when the demand has been so strong for that kind of education which trains the en- tire -individual-an education which shall meet the practical needs of life. It is demand for training that will help the boy to use himself.
 The increasing interest in industrial work, elementary agriculture etc., is not toward the direct teaching of the trades or of farming, but in the utili- ration of common experiences; in the forming of habits of industry, and in greater ability to apply ones self to the problem in hand.
 The objection is often raised that school gardening, carpentering or other forms of manual work will interfere with the amount of academic work in our country schools.
 That might test the fallacy of this statement, have as opportunity offered introduced elementary work along some of these lines in a number of country schools in different towns.
 The graded school at East Canaan. under the leadership of the principal, Miss Finnigan, presented most favorable conditions for such test. N
 A class of bright, energetic pupils, a large percent of them boys, in whom the teacher had aroused enthusiastic in terests in class work, and fine spirit of cooperation in everything that related to the general welfare of the school to- gether with the many needs incidental to school buildings which only car penter's tools could supply. presented opportunity to learn whether such work, as part of the school curriculum, would prove detrimental to progress in academic work or not. ..
 The results have helped to confirm my belief that such work is purely ben eficial, and in this, as it must be with any successful school work, it has been an efficient teacher, who has made pos sible the pleasing results. ....
