COLLEGE OPENING.
Entering Glass Promises to Be
Largest in History Of College.

The one hundredth and eleventh year
of Middlebury college will open Thursday
morning, September 81. The opening
exercises with the annual address will
be held in the Congregational church as
usual at quarter before nine o'clock.
Students are already arriving and the
entering class promises to be the largest
in the history of the college. Several
changes and additions to the faculty
have been made. DR.. Crater, Prof.
Brown, Mr.. King, and Miss White do
not return. Prof. McGilton is not yet
sufficiently recovered to resume his
work at present, and Mr. Boynton will
supply his place as last year. Miss
White is succeeded by Miss Caroline
Crawford as dean of women. Mr..
Wetherell, after a years absence at
Harvard university in graduate study,
will resume his work The following
persons have been added to the Fac
ulty: Mr.. Avery E. Lambert, in zoology;
Mr.. C. Allen Lyford, in geology and
chemistry; Mr. George H. Cresse, in
mathematics; Mr.. Ray l.. Fisher, in
physical education; Mr.. John A. Nor
gan, in economics; Mr.. Irving w. Davis
in pomology Miss Caroline Crawford,
in physical education and art Miss
Harriet D. Gerould, in home econo-
mics.
President Thomas returns from his
Champlain camp this evening. His re-
covery has been rapid, and his strong,
wholesome physique and splendid nerve
force have stood him in good stead in
his hour of need. With health and vigor
unimpaired, he will enter upon the
duties of the year with all his enthus-
iasm and power, although his friends
will do their utmost to tighten his cares
and relieve him of as many of his bur-
dens as possible during the weeks to
come.
Pearsons hall will be ready for occu-
pancy, although some few things may
remain to be done. Starr and Painter
halls have been thoroughly overhauled,
every room is taken, and many students
will be obliged to find accommodations
in the village. In every respect, the
college opens under the most hopeful
conditions.

recreational life of the youth of New
England. Mr.. Moran of the County
Y. NJ. c. A., who has himself made
quite an extensive sociological study
of conditions in Addison and adjoining
counties, acted as pilot and introduced
them to the most fruitful sources of
information. Twelve towns were Wis

Gladstone a Man Apart.

Gladstone was not beloved. He was

pied by official duty that no room

small but really vital personal sym
pathies and relations which belong to
real greatness.

ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear In
the Fight Abainst Tuber-

Just how aer{6ls ) prgblem tubercu-
losis is to the average church, and in
just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject OF an in
vestigation which the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis is conducting in con-
nection with it's plans for Tuberculo-
sis DAY on April 80. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands OF
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number OF
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
1t is CLAIMED to place these statistics,
together with other educational ma
terial, in the hands of every minister
in the country for his use in connec-
ton with Tuberculosis day. Millions
of circulars and pamphlets on the nrs-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
issued, both from the national Office
and from the headquarters of the 45O
anti-tuberculosis associations who will
cooperate in the movement.

r HE insecticide act of 1910 is now
i in effect and joint regulations for
it's enforcement have been issued by
the secretaries of the treasury, of ag-
riculture and of commerce and labor.
The act forbids the manufacture or
sale in federal territory of adulterated
or misbranded insecticides and fungi
cides, especially mentioning Paris
green and lead arsenate. 1t also for
bids interstate shipment of such ar
ticles and this is its most important
feature.
Under the regulations samples of in
secticides and fungicides are to be
collected by purchase by agents OF
the United States department Of agri-
culture and analysed or examined by
such chemist or examiner as the Sec
rotary of agriculture may designate.
If a sample then appears to be adul-
terated or misbranded a private hear
ing before the secretary or his repre-
sentative will be given to the party
from whom the sample was obtained
and to others interested who may ap'
pear personally or by attorney and
may submit oral or written evidence,

been violated the proper United States

w Observation-Disclosures so
W ciaI season is in. full swing and
the big balls, the official receptions
and state dinners at the White House
now follow one another in bewildering
rapidity.
A tradition, well-nigh as old as the
republic itself, prescribes the four
official receptions at the White House
of which the first is given for the
diplomatic corps, the second for the
Supreme court, the third for the mem
bers of congress and the last for the
officers of the army and navy. Dur
ing President Taft's incumbency of
the White House these receptions
have acquired a significance which
they have lacked for many years. BY
limiting the number of invitations and
endeavoring to avoid asking the same
persons twice, the receptions have
been made enjoyable and also
far brilliant.
State dinners at the White House
follow the same order as the recep-
lions, the first being given for the dip
lomatic corps. President and Mrs.
Taft will this season add one dinner,
and the reception to congress will be
followed by a dinner to the speaker
of the house, a custom which will
likely be accepted as a precedent
hereafter. Each member of the cabi-
net, beginning with the premier, the
secretary of state, and following in
order Of precedence gives a dinner
for the President and Mrs. Taft,
These dinners will be on Thursdays
during the season. Previous to the
Roosevelt regime the guests at the
cabinet dinners were limited to the
