PRINCIPAL BURR TALKS
 TO TEACHERS ON HABIT
Registration at Danbury Summer School Nearly Double Last Year.

The registration at the Danbury summer school Wednesday morning reached 1s9. Last year the registration for the first week of the school was 100
 L. D. Wiggins and Henry T. Burr of the Willimantic state normal school continued their lectures at the school in the morning. In MT. Burr's lecture on psychology he considered the subject of habit with special ref erence to habits acquired in school life. He said that the distinction between instinct and habit is that we acquire habit, while instinct is a natural ten dency. Through habit a large part of our life has become automatic. Among the habits which teachers should con slider with relation to their pupils are the habit of punctuality and the habit of good posture in the class room. In the work of instruction there 1 are certain habits in regard to subject matter which are of considerable inn portance. Through drill which in- wolves repetition the habit of recogniz- l ing number facts automatically should l be developel. Recognizing words. the use of correct English and spelling 1 words correctly are largely matters ot habit.

More Typewriters Used in China.

Consul General George F. Anderson, Hong Kong, reports; Importers of American typewriting machines report that recent changes in Chinese politi- cal and commercial organization are increasing their sales There has been a steady increase in the use of type writers among progressive Chinese business houses for some time and the movement toward modern things generally following the revolution is stimulating the adoption of all such modern business cOnveniences. Foreign firms in the open ports are also in creasing the use of typeWriters. About 800 typewriters are now in use among firms in Hong Kong at present and at least 450 of these machines are Ameri- can. Purely Chinese firms are now using perhaps 50 machines and more are being sold daily. Business college instruction in various Hong Kong schools is producing a large and in creasing force of stenographers among young Chinese and Eurasian people, SC that the possible use of typewriters to advantage is greatly increasing.

Five Burned In Powder Explosions
Everett Corey Dropped Lighted Punk Into Pile of Powder Four Troleymen Celebrating With CannOn-Faces Bad ly Burned by the Flash of Flsme-Several Minor Acc- dents.

Two serious accidents and several minor ones constituted the Fourth of July record of casualties for this city on Thursday. Unlocked for powder explosions caused the most serious in juries, one young man being badly burned early in the morning and four employees at the trolley company barn in Greeneville getting burned shortly after in powder explosion. All five of the victims in these two accidents were burned about the face. but none will lose their sight, it is expected and all should recover from their in- juries.
 About 5.30 Thursday morning, Ever cit Corey, the 14 year old son of Mrs. E. R. Corey, who runs boarding house at 6S Church street, was about to set of a small cannon in the yard at the house. With him was his brother Av- cry, four years older, and they had a box in which was a half pound of powder and an empty bottle. In his mouth Everett was holding a piece of lighted punk, which it is supposed he must have bitten in two. allowing it to drop into the powder, which instant ly exploded, enveloping his head and hands in burst of flame and sending fragments of the shattered bottle in his right forearm.
 The glass inflicted three deep cuts to the bone in his forearm, two near the elbow on the under side and the other on the wrist. He bled profuseIy and his brother at once took him to the home of Dr. J. H. Allen next door. but the doctor was away. Young Co., rey was also suffering painfully from the burns on his face, his eyebrows being scorehed off and his face blis- tered and filled with powder, while his hands were also severely burned, and there were burns on one leg.
 Dr. l.. F. LaPierre was called and found that the young mans sight was not injured. He treated the other wounds and it was not necessary to take the young man to the hospital, as he was cared for at home.
 In subsequent celebrations in the immdeiate neighborheod of Dr. Aliens house on Church street, a big cannon was fired off, the concussion being enough to shatter bottles standing on a shelf in the house and also to ja1

down a window and break the glass in it.
 Four Hurt at the Car Barn.
 About half an hour after noon, four employees at the GFeeneville car barn were injured as the result of the ex plosion of powder in a cannon with which they were celebrating the Fourth. The accident occurred in the rear of the car barn. The men had been using the cannon and were re- loading it when the powder fiared up suddenly, burning them about the face and arms The names of those injured are Edward Willett, Dominick Oulette, Arthur Miller and Henry Wise.
 The first three named were rushed to the home of pr. LaPierre and then to the Backus hospital on a special car from the car barn. where they were made as comfortable as possible. At first it was thought that two of the men would lose their eyesight, but on examination it was found that their eyes were not injured, although their faces were badly burned with the far ing powder. Mir Wise suffered only burns about one of his arms and was able to be about during the afternoon. Miller was the worst burned of the four.
 The First to Be Hurt.
 William Gorton, a small boy living at No. 30 Avery street. was an early celebrator and also the earliest report ed who suffered injuries serious enough to call a doctor, About 4.30 o'clock in the morning he accidentally shot a blank cartridge into the palm of his left hand. He was treated by Dr. J | W. Callahan, who extracted the powder and bandaged the hand. which will not be in useable shape for few days again.
 Minor Injuries to Two Boys. A young Henault boy, residing or Franklin street, was also a victim ot l the blank cartridge pistol. and was treated by Dr. F. J. Harper, but his l injuries were slight. A small piece oi | flesh at the base of one of his fingers was burned out of the palm of his hand.
 1 A boy living on School street was re- ported hurt by a cannon cracker dur ing the afternoon, but not seriously in. jured.

CHANGES AT NoRTHFIELD.
Entire Renovation of Marquand Dor mitory Will be Made This Summer.

". R. Moody, the president of the board of trustees of the Northfield schools, has just announced that Mar quand hall, the largest of the early dormitories of the Northfeid seminary, is to be entirely renovated this sum- mer. The contract has just been let, calling for an expenditure of about S25,O0O A friend of the Northfield schools has anonymously contributed for this work
 New floors, new stairways at each end of the building, and new clothes closets are being installed. The old wiring, plumbing, and heating arrange ments are giving way to more modern equipment. The plastering and stone work is being gone over. and the htch- en will practically be rebuilt.
 Since the dedication of the build ing in 1885, thousands of girls have studied under it's roof, and college stu dents from far and near have used it as their headquarters at the summer conferences. The building was erect ed by D. w. McWillfams, the executor of the famous Marquand estate, at a cost of S67,00O.
 Gould hall will take the place of Marquand hall this summer This fine building. less than a month old is the gift of Miss Helen Miller Gould. The Harvard, Toronto, and McGill delega- tions are now sharing it with the stu dent conference faculty. During the Young Women's Conference the girls from Dobb's Ferry school will occupy the building, then those interested in missionary work will take possession, to be quickly followed by the Sunday school workers of all New England and those interested in general Christian work
 During the general conference in August it is expected that the build ing will be the most popular on the conference grounds, due to it's proN unity to the Auditorium and Sage | chapel. East Hall, Weston, Betsey | Moody cottage, and Henry Moors cot | tage will be some of the other build | ings used to house the large crowds | during August
 The new Marquand hall will be ready | in September to receive the largest en- rollment the Northfield seminary has | ever had About 500 girls will fill the l buildings and even then many will bt | turned away because of lack of room l The comfort of these students will al 1 so be increased by the use of Kenard- | en hall which will be open for registra- | tion day in the early part of Septem- | ber This building, the gift of Mrs. J | Stuart Kennedy in memory of her hus
 band the well known philanthropist l will contain all the administrative of fees of the school corporation.
