Dr. Stephens has sent out the fol-
lowing circular letter:
"To all patrons of the Industrial In
! stitute: My attention has just been
called to the fact that | have not di-
rectly informed you of the change
made by our faculty in February in
our rules regarding examinations 1t
was decided by the Faculty that, be-
ginning with the present term, there
would be no exemptions from exam
nations, but that all students will be
required to pass the examinations be-
fore being promoted in their classes.
At the time this resolution was adop-
ted | made public announcement of it
to the students in our Assembly Hall,
but l see that I omitted to make cor
responding correction in the printed
statement that is sent to you each
month upon the students reports.
therefore, take this occasion to inform
you directly of the new rule-which
! trust you have already learned of
through the students.
Il am pleased to be able to make
general report that the work of our
school has been bette this session than
ever before We have registered over
300 students than 295 of these
have been in actual attendance. A
1o 0f hox -icif
ed the school than ever before. The
work of every department has great
ly improved Besides ten regular grad
yates in the advanced academic work
this session, our school will give the
state twelve telegraph operators
(three Of whom are also stenograph-
ers), fifteen stenographers and nine
teen bookkepers, all well and thorough
ly tranined and capable of holding re-
sponsible positions at once.
1.-The prospects for next session are
very bright 1t is the expectation Of
our Faculty, Alumni and students that
the attendance next session will reach
400 A new work shop and class room
building will be erected, two story
| brick building 120 feet long and from
/ 40 to 100 feet in width. Steamboat

dormitory instead of the stoves which
are now used. Improved sanitary ar
rangements. with shower baths, will
be installed in the young mems dormi-
tory. A modern barn will be erected
with all sanitary provisions. From
twenty to thirty acres of ground will
be in cultivation for the use of the
dormitories and for purposes of in.
struction.
A summer normal school for teach
ers and prospective teachers will be
conducted in our building this summer
from May 81 to July 81. I would ap-
preciate your cooperation in securing
large attendance for this Summer
School, and shall hope to have your
approval and continued patronage for
the next session.
"In conclusion let me specially in
vite you to attend commencement ex
ercises which will be held here from
May % to May 25, inclusive.
Sincerely yours,
E. L. Stephens"

him out. When the climber had

MAYOR LEE ATTEMPTS "ANSWERS" TO CERTAIN
 QUESTIONS ASKED OF HIM BY THE FARMER
Harbor Master Exposes
 Little Joker Amendment

From the Farmer of May 20, 1909) Harbormaster Charles H. Morris ha an identical letter to each o the Representatives of Bridgeport Il the Gene3al Assembly, which mean the three Senators as well as the tw members of the House.
 The letter follows:
 | My Dear Sir-I feel it my duty to call your attention to H. B., 519 amending the charter of the city of Bridgeport, which, I am informed, has been favorably reported by the committee on Cities and Boroughs.
 This is the bill the ostensible object of which is to require hear ings to be held before harbor lines are laid, by this city.
 Its real object, I believe, is to reinstate in the charter a provi- sion by which Bridgeport, for ex- ercising its right to protect navi- gation by the location of harbor lines, shall be compelled to pay for so-called wharfage rights, although the State, the United States, and understand some cities of the State, exercise similar rights with out being held to pay damages.
 You will readily perceive that if it is the real object of the bill to provide hearings. that this result may readily be accomplished with out changing the status of Bridge port in the matter of damages.
 I understood at the hearing on the bill, that it had been prepared by counsel for the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com ps nv who appeared in its favor.
 However desirable the proposed legislation may be from the stand point of the company, which as you know is now adversely engaged in disagreement over hafbor lines with the city, it seems to me that, as it's effect may be to subject the taxpayers to large payments from time to time, that it is not de- sirable alteration in the charter,
 For fuller information as to the legal bearing of this legislation beg to call your attention to the opinion of former City Attorney James A Marr, now on file with the Common Council of the city of Bridgeport, relating to the subject { and bearing date of Jan. 23, 1909.
 Very respectfully yours,
 CHARLES H MORRIS,
 Harbor Master.

THE STANDARD IS BOUCHER'S
 BEST FRIEND
HOW ABOUT THESE GRABS


 Indication of the strength of Stephen F. Boucher, the Democratic candidate for city clerk, is afforded by the night ly attacks being made upon him by the Standard. Only the unitiated take the Standard seriously. For years it has been known as the mouthpiece of the moss arrogant ring of political manip- ulators this State has eyer known. It has ne mind of its own and it's policies are the policies of the group of selfish politicians who have long held the Re publican party of Bridgeport by the throat. It is a medium for a. clique of men who use it's columns to pour out vituperation during campaign times.
 It is in a state of comnolence for the better part of each year and it really seems a pity that it is forced to rouse itself from its Rip Van Wrinkle state during election times. By reason of its long period of lethsrgy it seldom knows what side to take on public questions until the ring pulls the

JOE CANNON
 IS LIKENED TO
 GRIM OLD WOLF
senator La Toilette Publishes Another
 Bitter Attack on Speaker.
Ironic Reference to cOrrapt Deal With
 Tammany Against Insurgents.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 29-Likening Joseph G. Cannon to a grim old wolf Senator La Toilette publishes another attack on the Speaker in this week s issue of La Follette's Weekly Maga- zine. <
 The editorial was called forth by NCannon's recent speech at Elgin, Ills, In which he attempted to read out of the Republican party, Cummins, La Toilette and the other tariff bill Sin surgents." -The editorial says in part:
 Speaker Cannon served notice that he means to purge the threshing floor of the Republican party of such chaff as cmnmins, La Toilette and their followers By these terms Cannon describes the progressives-who of course, are followers of neither Cum- nins or La Toilette. but their own un- biased and subdued minds.
 'These people,, Speaker Cannon is reported to have said, cali themselves Republicans, but if they are then am something else.' (
 "we hope Cannon is right. If by these remarks he means that there is an irresistible conflict within the party favoring Connonisrn on the one hand and the principles of the pro- gressive Republicans on the other he is right. If Cannon is Republican is a Republican, Licoln and Sumner and George w. Curtiss and Carl Schurz and the men who followed Sherman and Grant and the command CTS they followed, as the founders of the Republicans were not Republicans
 Cannon may, speak the truth when he denies thdt he has made corrupt deal with Tammany whereby he will aid the Tiger in New York while it continues to aid him in Congress in his contest with the progressives or the insurgents. They may have to come ff3 his aid in that grim crisis of the last Congress, not because of anything he promised them, but because of the deep sympathies that exists between such men. For if Cannon is Repub- licaq. Tammany is republican and so Is Cox. of Cincinnati, Sullivan Bath house John,' and tHinky Dink' of Chi cago and the powers that prey X
 X One thing about which Cannon is mistaken. He cannot gain through his classificatiens of Republicans as . gress- The voters of the Republican party will decide as to who are Re publicans and who are not.
 s'The voting trust of Cannon, the gcaucus and the convention and Can non's definition of Republicanism may be set up as the <one.' We shall see
 ssThe progressives may we'll bide their time and laugh at the Czar of the House. Their time is coming. Can nonism is merely a survival. The stars in their courses fight against it and 1t is doomed.
 "A free, untrammeled ballot in the Republican caucus would strip Can non of every vestige of power. His pronunciamentoes are but the snarl- ing of the grim old wolf who hears the bears in the woods and scents them closing in. He is still at large and his fangs are long, but the days of his depreciation within the sheepfold of the people are surely numbered.''
