The State University.

visors of the State University il
consequence of the recent strike
of its student body. Every frienC
of the institution will hope to SCI
it met in such way as not fur
Their to impair the usefulness Of
the school. The conditions under
which the trouble was TEMPORARY
| ly settled having been subver.
sive of discipline, very serious
consequences will result if the
supervisors show a lack of firm.
ness in dealing with the situation
as it now stands.
1t would have been infinitely
better for the University if Pres
ident Boyd and the faculty had
followed the example of General
Nichols at the head of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute. Both
institutions are military in char
acter. Both receive support from
the State. Each is under the di-
rection of a public board with the
Governor of the State as its pres
ident. Their troubles were al
most identical.
Recently at the Institute sew
enty-eight members of the third
class, representing twenty-five
States, signed a round robin
threatening to leave the institu-
ton if the punishment of men,
bers reported for attractions of
the rules was not rescinded.
They carried out their threat.
Subsequently they sought to ne
gotiate with General Nichols
conditions under which they
would once more submit to au-
thority. They were peremptori-
ly told that no petitions would
be considered unless each man
returned to his quarters and con-
sidered himself under arrest.
Thereuron they marched off the
grounds. That evening an order
was read expelling the entire
seventy EIGHT, and, though strong
pressure was brought to bear,
the Board of Governors declined
to interfere, or in fact to even
hold a meeting to consider the
matter. 1t took the proper
ground that less harm would re-
suit from the breaking up of the
class than from the impairment
Of the discipline of the institution
by interference with the authori-
ty of the Superintendent.
In the case of the University
it would have been better for the
future welfare of the institution
if President Boyd had firmly re-
jected the interposition of the
friendly offices of the Governor
and the citizens. The result
might have beenthe loss, for the
session, of part or all of the
strikers; but in the final analysis
the University would have been
all the stronger.
The States feels a pardonable
pride in the University and it's
noble traditions. 1t has a deep
regard for the splendid youth of
the State who make up it's student
body. To repair fully the dam
age the faculty has sustained to
its prestige will be difficult; but
the interests of the school will be |
better subserved if the Supervis-
ors decline to take from the fac
llty the responsibility and au-
thority for its internal manage
nent than if they attempt to rem
Ter a verdict as between the fac
llty and the students when the
question involved is entirely one

New Hunting Season

Hunters in this vicinity seem not 10 care very much about the action of the legislature in passing the bill that shortens the open season for partridge, quail, woodcoek and pheasants. This new law reduces the season two weeks, leaving it from October until Novem- Der g inclusive, excluding Sundays, when hunting cannot be done. This gives this year forty hunting days. The number of licenses which have been taken out during the past year shows that hunting the game birds does not attract very much attention any longer. A few men go out now but more because they used to than be- cause they expect to get any birds. If they kill anything they are happy and if they do not they are still happy, be- cause they have had the fun of walk ing through the woods and fields. They can do this hunting as well so me time during the forty days as they could if | they had three months. It will not make very much difference to them one way or the other.
 The licenses that have been issued are principally for rabbit hunters, and the new law does not affect them l They will get as many rabbits proba- <, ply as ever,

He was found guilty on both counts and sentenced to go days on the first and to 6 months on the second count with costs of sl0.09. He gave notice of appeal and went To jail in default of bond of SOC.

These two girls have given their school teach CTS, the probation officer, prosecuting attorney, and captain of police, great deal of trouble and worry in the past. The eseapade that led to their being brought into eour. was a trip to Gov entry unbeknown to their parents. They were in the woods near the Israel Putnam school and there they planned 1 their trip. The youngest one borrowed a dress, and stockings, and shoes, and transformed herself into n young lady in long dress and big hat. Two new | hats were in fact purchased for the occasion.

Judge Ma,hewson's Cane Broken

The following Item relative to Judge A. McC. Mathewson formerly of South Woodstock, now judge of the New Ha- ven city court, will be of interest 10 his friends in this vicinity:
 The favorite cane of Judge Mathew son of the city court was broken today after he had handed 1t to a parent with instructions to soundly punish his boy who had been found guilty of theft. Little Willie Hunt had stolen Ss. He was too small to be given court sem tence, but It was shown that he de- served correction. His father was in court. Out in an ante-room the father gaveWillie his trouncing and the Irish bog oak cane given by friends to the judge was broken. The judge said he regretted the loss of the cane, but the necessity of having the boy whipped he felt even deeper. Little Willie promised 10 be good boy In the flu. ture.

The Moon

Once when the new moon glistened
 50 slender in the west 1 l looked across my shoulder And a wild wish stirred my breast. Over my white right shoulder l ] looked at the silver horn, i And wished wish at evening To come to pass in the morn. Whenever the new moon glistened So slender and SO fine 1 looked across my shoulder And wished that wish of mine.
 So sang Rose Terry Cooke many years ago and many times have I re- peated the lines to myself and to young friends who have greeted with me the fresh new moon. Even after our latest moon a young girl, who had never be- fore invoked the spell, came back with radiant face to tell me of the unexpect- ed good news that had "come to pass in the morn.n
 But our Rose had added other verses, not so agreeable to myself or my friends. She adds:- Now when the west is rosy
 And the snow wreaths blush below And l see the light white crescent
 Sink Oownward soft and slow, 1 never look over my shoulder
 As 1 used to look before, For my heart is older and colder
 And now l wish no more.
 And so I offer revised version:- Now when the west is paIing
 After the sunset glow And l see the white light crescent
 Sink downward soft and slow, 1 still look over my shoulder
 As l used in days of yore For my heart is not older nor colder
 And wish tonight as before.
 Not for the same things, perhaps, not for the ewlid wishes" that thrill, but rather for the continuance of every day mercies, for eyes to see and heart to enjoy the new and old moon, the and evening stars, and all the | beautiful things in nature and life, and ] like to include good wishes for | aii who, like me, welcome the coming | 1f each new moon, the good old moon, sYer new and hopeful after millenni- ans of change and service.
