The boy gets much more out of baseball than mere physical exercise He is cultivating keen kind and quick thinking. he is learning certain ideas of giving himself up for the ben eft of the team, and of sticking IL out to the last. He is getting the idea of fair play and he learns that the cheater eventually hurts his own team and that fair play must be the rule not the exception.
 Of football. Principal Tirrell said that whereas formerly certain players were taught to use up their opponents by giving them the knee or otherwise, the coaches have learned now that this doesn't pay. There is a distinction to be drawn between the roughness and brutality of the game. He said he believed the game was too rough as it is played, but there is more need of rules to do away with its rough ness than with brutality. Football may be called the great school game and there is much of brain work re- quired in 1t in the development of that team play which is the beauty Of the game.
 Adding a concluding word upon the abuses of athletics, the speaker said that the great trouble is that people get wrong idea of what athletics are for. It is not to produce the great athlete, but to bring health to the peo- pie. We need to make everybody take part, as is seen in English schools That is the ideal athletics. There is another great danger that we shall feel that we must win at any cost, but we must be strong enough to take a beating when it comes our way. rather than win by questionable means Some boys. too, get the idea that athletics is the serious business of life. but the average boy mustn't let his athletics destroy his interest in other things. Athletics, too. must be taken in moderation, and we must avoid the danger of dropping our ath- Ietics too early and too suddenly. as statistics seemed to show that this is dangerous and sometimes death is risked by 1t. Athletics under competent supervision and> suitably selected could be made greatly help full to every mans everyday life.
 Coffee and doughnuts were served by the entertainment committee in the social hour that concluded the eve ming.

ADDRESSED THE OPEN HOUSE
Principal H. A. Trre Talked On Athletics Delight of Hearers-Everyone Should Give Some ims to Games.

Open House held it's regular business meeting Thursday evening in the par Vice President Charles G. Cobb calling the meeting to order at o'clock with good attendance present. As there was no special business, a motion to adjourn was at once offered and pass ed.
 MT. Cobb then yielded the chair to Charles H. Haskell. who introduced the speaker of the evening, Principal H. A. Tirrell, of the Academy. MT Haskell referred to Principal Tirren as one rho had participated in many per- sonal triumphs in athletics, both in his Academy days and in college, and had later stood for a standard of athletics upon their best and highest plane.
 Principal TirreIls subject was Ath- letics, which he handled in a compre hensive and interesting way which drew forth applause and a rising vote of thanks when he had concluded. As an introduction he dealt with the nat uralness of play as seen among all animals and showed how in the child play developed until it became some thing more than fooling and took the form of games. As the boy or girl grows older, the games become more complex, calling for the exercise of brains as well as strength, and those are the most popular which combine these two in the best degree.
 Dr. Anderson of Yale has said that outdoor games are more beneficial than indoor exercise, better exercising both mind and body, besides giving the ben eft of open air.
 Speaking of whether a man works better and more contentedly because he goes to games or has some recrea- tion. Principal Iirrell said it was the general consensus of opinion that this was so. The great thing was for ev- cry man to take some portion of his regular time for games and the best is that which exercises mtnd and body in a relaxing way. Speaking of the Olympic games of the Greeks and the gladiatorial games of the Romans. he came to the two great modern games standing first in America-basebalI and football. Athletics he said had a wholesome influence, the game being better than field events because team work is developed in the latter while in the other it is training for the indi- vidual.

The railroad commissioners had a hearing Thursday forenoon on the pe- tition of the Meriden, Middletown and GuiIford Electric Railway company to take land by condemnation proceedings in the town of Durham and which is owned by Walter D. Crockett, the land being needed for railway purposes.
 MT. Gates, the chairman of the rail road commission, made an interesting statement to the effect that it has been the policy of the state for the past twelve or fifteen years to encourage the building of street railways on pri- vate lands rather than on the public highways.
 He referred to a, trolley road that had been built in New Haven county, extending from Groton to Westerly, and another that went into the city of Norwich. and said that by the removal of the tracks from the highways to private lands the cars made much bet ter speed and effected an appreciable saving of time.
