The new dormitory FOR the Lucknow
Qndia) College for Girls Is to be erected
as a memorial of. Lilavati Singh. who at
the time Of her death was president of
the college. It will be remembered that
Miss Singh died in Chicago last spring
while en- route to Omaha to speak before
the Methodist Home Missionary society.
Miss Singh was the only native teacher
in the Lucknow college. AS a student
early in her career she refused a mission
airy scholarship because she preferred to
earn her own education, though at the
time she was supporting several younger
relatives. In 1895 she took an A. M. de-
gree with honors at the University Of
Allahabad. Four years later she came to
America with Miss Thoburn, whose school
in Lucknow she had entered when less
than 10. Here she helped to raise upward
of 10000 for educational work among
women of India. In 1907 she was sent to
Japan as the indian delegate of the Young
Women's Christian association to the
Students Christian Federation conference
at Toxic. The new dormitory is erected
by money contributed by her friends, the
bulk coming from America.

CAPT. PRITCHARD TO RETIRE
AFTER NOTABLE CAREER.
Was a Frequent Guest of the
Late M0nsignor Doane.

Captain John Pritchard. r. n. r., of
the Cunard liner Mauritania, who is
to retire after serving f~fty-three years
at sea, was a frequent guest OF the late
Monsignor George Fl. Doane, who al
ways voyaged In the ship commanded
by Captain Pritchard, whom he knew
when this veteran of the seas was a
second mate. Whenever Monsignor
Doane went over or came back over
the north Atlantic, he was made chair
man of the concerts on the ship. and
In that way became acquainted with
hundreds of celebrities.
The monsignor's favorite of the ships
commanded by Captain Pritchard was
the Etruria, which In her time was
accounted the most comfortable ship
on the north Atlantic. Monsignor Nu-
gent, of Liverpool, a longtime, inti-
mate friend of Monsignor Doane, was
another 'prelate who would not cross
the Atlantic on any but Captain
Pritchard's ship. On several occasions
the two monsignors crossed together.
Monsignor Doane never failed to go on
board the ship eastward-boun with
three boxes of the same Ri of New
ark-made cigars that he gave to his
friends among the firemen, policemen
and letter-carriers Of Newark, n these
he distributed to officers and crew OF
the ship, going from place to place n
seeing every man-Jack personally, just
as were his methodical ways OF seeing
everybody in his parish. In fact, 1t
was one of the jokes of the officers OF
the old Etruria that she was an annex
to Saint Patrick's parish, Newark.
The m~onsignor used to say, however,
hat that story was originated by Jere-
miah O'Rourke. The monsignor used
to tell on shipboard another story which
he got from O'Rourke about an old
lady from New Jersey who made a voy-
age over seas that necessitated cross
ing the equator. She imagined the
equator to be a stormy stretch of water
breaking over rocks-something like
the Lachine rapids above Montreal,
which she had traversed in a steam
boat that had gone through every Ia
for many years. One day on board the
ship the captain mentioned to the old
lady and others that in an hour the
ship would cross the equator, where
upon the old lady ran up to the fridge
of the ship and chung on with might
and main. Asked by the officer on
the bridge why she was there, she an
swered that she wanted to get a good
strong hold before the equator was
reached, as she did not want to be
knocked down by the jolting, as she
had been in going through the Lachine
rapids.

nations of the pupils in the Bryant
School, in this city. in which only nine
pupils were found with teeth classed
as very good" have led the Board
OF Education to a query as to the con-
dition of the teeth of pupils in other
schools.
A report to the board states that of
s74 pupils, 157 had good teeth, ia fair,
and ninety poor. Also that 256 needed
their teeth cleaned by a dentist and
11S did not.
There were 24s who used tooth
brushes and 1875 not. They found 1875
teeth needing extraction. The dental
examinations will be extended to the
other schools.
There is an agitation here to have
dental examinations introduced regu-
larly in the same way that medical
examinations are conducted.
