COUNCIL OF EDUCATION.
Annual Meeting of the State Body
 Held in Hartford.

The annual meeting of the Woman 5 Council of Education of Connecticut was held in the Center church parish house, Hartford, Saturday afternoon, Miss Elizabeth J. Cairns of Hartford presiding. There were delegates from the different affiliated societies present. including the Association of Collegiate perance Union, the Federation of Womens clubs the State Teachers League, the Woman's Relief Corps, the Daughters of the American Revo- lutfon and the New Haven Mt. Hol- yoke Alumnae.
 Before the business meeting Dr. Ernest c. Moore head of the educa- tionaI department of Yale university, delivered an address which had to do with some of the needs of the schools of Connecticut. Having come from the west he noticed that there were more western people in the east than there are eastern people in the west, and the places made vacant by those who leave the west were largely taken by people from other countries. He said that. the problem to assinlilate these people was a tremendous one. People have said that the teacher was the conserver of the nation, but the teach CT has been treated more as the hired man. If we are to be a nation, he said the teacher must not be treated in that way. Tke election of officers resulted in the choice of the following: Presi- dent Miss Elizabeth J. Cairns, Hart ford; first vice president, Miss Mary M. Partridge, Hartford: second vice president, Miss Elizabeth Kane of Wa terbury; treasurer, Mrs. Jane C. Pultz Plainvil4e; secretary, Mrs. Emma E. Blake of New Haven.

TIE pRouTn sTILl oN.

It looks like another dry summer said one of our florists, looking at 1911 from four months experience.
 The year was over four inches short of the normal rainfall on April 1st. and the rain has been below normal ever since. In fact. this vicinity has had only one downpour in the past six weeks, the others being slight showers or drizz1es. And this condition is not peculiar t6 southern New England IS Will be seen by the following from the Rutlandt(Vt.) News:
 "The water supply of Poultney is already at a very low point. Unless there is a decided change for the bet ter. residents of the village will be compelled to forego the use of hose This indicates forcibly the fact that the water supply generally throughout this section of New England has been unusually short this season Fortunate is the community that has an abund ant supply of good water. Despite the advertising to the contrary that Rut- land has received. this city may be properly numbered among the fortu- nate ones in this respect"
 The season of abundant water here abouts has passed and the prospects of having garden hose called off when they are most needed are excellent.
 There has been time enough to have filled Fairview reservoir; but it has not been done, and Norwich may have another near water-fa anime because prompt action was not taken when it should have been

ANOTHER SLIP BY CANNON.

Congressman Cannon has two sub jects to which he is fiercely opposed one is the ratification of the treaty of reciprocity with Canada and the other is woman's suffrage. and in a speech before a club of gentlemen the other day he declared he never would favor woman suffrage till the women go to war.
 Any old soldier can tell Congress man Cannon that the women do go to war, and play there the noblest part played in the conflict. The woman in the hospital has doubtless saved as many lives as the doctors; and in their work of mercy they have carried. wa ter to the wounded and dying on the field. Those men who have been bene- fted and blessed by their kindly of fees in the hour of dire distress know women were at the front lacking neith- CT courage nor strength, acting the part of the good angels in their ministra- tions to the suffering and in keeping the family and home informed and cheered when days were dark and re- suits were doubtful
 So Congressman Cannon doesn't know that women go to war and do valiant service for country and for God
 Speaker Cannon ought to be wise to the value of women in war where men are A failure

One of Billy Sundays Sermons.

MT. Sunday took as his text Why shouldn't thou as man be astonished as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, oh Lord are in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name. Leave us not
 His sermon was, in part, as follows:
 There are some people so we'll yersed in the Bible that if you quote par ticular verse they can hardly fail to many cases they will be able to tell you the exact verse Ne one at all, I take 1t, will have trouble in recogniz- ing the words of my text as coming from Jeremiah. There is a distinctive style belonging to all the Biblical writers and those familiar with their writings will have little trouble in recognizing them from the style. Jer- eniah, you know. was called to rebuke the people.
 Take some of the writers of the New Testament Matthews message seems to have been especially to the Jews. He knew the Jews as none of the other disciples knew them. He also knew the Old Testament, from which he quotes most of his argument that Jesus was the Christ It seems to have been his especial desire to lead the Jews.
 The characteristic of Mark was tire less energy. He writes in the impera tive mood. In his gospel there are no less than ITO commands He makes a speciality of that word forthwith Of the AS "Go yes in the New Testament 21 are from Mark. Sturgeon said, s1 don't see how any Christian can read Marks gospel and not be on the go''

THE WEsrERLY CIVIC CENTER.

The "civic center of Westerly is to be further improved by the erection of a joint courthouse and town hall for which latter the voters of the town provided on Tuesday. Owing chiefly 10 Senator Arnolds energetic efforts the general assembly appropriated fifty thousand dollars the other day for building to take the place of the prescnt crsraped judicial quarters at Westerly. and now the town has au thorized the expenditure of eighty thou sand for a town hall adjoining. the legislature having given it's permis- sion for the issuance of the necessary bonds.

ITS BOTH ANNIVER6ARY.

The Waterbury Republican on May 10th celebrated the 30th anniversary of it's establishment with a six-section illustrated edition of eS pages. It was a well designed and artistically produced piece of work which spoke we'll for the author and for the enter prise and capacity of The Repuhli- can. It showed that Waterbury in fifty years has grown from a city of 10000 to city of 73,141 people and it took two columns of space to give "a brief list of the goods alphabetically arranged made in Waterbury" In it's early career The Republican had a hard struggle for existence against heavy odds. but recent additions to its ma chinery leave no doubt that it has won a permanent place in the hearts of it's patrons and is destined to endure for several ages, at least. The RepubH- can is ably edited and conducted-a paper that is looked for every day in The Bulletin office. Its future is bright and The Bulletin hopes the most san guine dreams of its promoters may be realized.

 The Ottawa Citizen calls attention to the fact that an important point was brought ID by MT. Borden in the Canadian parliament in relation to inn migration statistics. It appears that while elaborate figures are compiled to show the nxnber of immigrants whc enter Canada each year. there are no figures to show how many Canadians enliErate te the United States each year. Statistics obtained from United States sources state that in 1909 over 1,eeo Canadians emigrat- ed te the United States, and last year over 22.06o. not including aliens. So far as computing the growth of this country is concerned by means of immigration statistics, Canada is in the position of a man who counts only his receipts and takes no stock sn his disbursements. Hon. Mir. Oliver somewhat sptly characterized the sit uatisn as "a considerable reciprocity in population between Canada and the United States'''
 Where our interests are so closely involved there is no reason why there should be too many bars up for public comfort.
 The advantage of free lumber, of which the opponents of reciprocity do not speak. is ten times as great as the froe wood psip for paper making which they charge is the chief motive of bringing distress to American agri- cuiturists Taft stands for the great est gssd for the greatest number-this is what the press stands TOT
