Doolittle of Ham den applied for guardianship of Earl Leston. their own son, who had been given by them to William J. Lesion for adoption as grandson, who for years had supposed that Mrs Doolittle was his daughter Mrs. Lesion died two years ago and her husband then learned that Mrs. Doolittle, who had been in the relation of daughter, was of no kin as she as an infant, had been substituted for child born to Mrs. Lesion At the time, MT. Leston who was railroad man, was away from home Mrs. Lesion had been married previously and had one son, William Bamblett. Considerable pro perty was left by Mrs. Leston and this son produced evidence to show that Mrs. Doolittle was not his mothers daughter by her second marriage. The husband received his share of the es- tate. Later he adopted Earl Doolittle, his supposed grandson, and made him grandson in this way. Uupon MT. Les tons death recently it was found that Earl had been made heir. Now the parents of the child ask for guardian ship. The next of kin to Mrs Leston are a brother and sister in Vermont.

DEAN SCOLDS
 HIGH SCHOOLS
Jones ofYale College Condemns Failure to Prepare Students.
ARE WEAK IN MATHEMATICS
Report Shows That of s4s Freshmen Entering Last Fall Only t2s Were Without onditions-criticism
 on Lack of Preparation.

Special Hartford Correspondence
 Hartford. Jones of Yaie Col lege in his annual report to President Hadley. just issued. indulges in some drastic criticism of the lack of pre- paration shown by sub-freshmen, more especially those sub-freshmen from public schools. The inferiOrity of the high school training he emphasizes still further in a statistical study Of the scholarship of the class which en- tered last fall. He shows, for instance, that out of the 34S freshmen entering the college last fall only 12S entered without conditions, This ae attributes to lack Of preparation, although hlsa school educators as a class bitterly re sent such a charge, blaming the lack of correlation between college and preparatory school for the situation. Of the 12S candidates who lived entire ly up to the entrance requirements, between 36 and 37 per cent. of the number admitted, 67 came from pri- vate schools, 27 from high schools, Z6 from both and eight from other col leges. On the other hand, of the 220 freshmen who limped into college un- der conditions, 97 were private school boys. 66 high school. 4S both private and public and IA from other colleges In brief, 40.S per cent of the private school applicants entered without con ditions, while only 29 per cent of the high school applicants were equally fortunate.
 The Stumbling Block.
 Mathematics, it appears from the deans report, proves the greatest stumbling block As many as 157 fail ed to pass one or another of the en- trance examinations in mathematics. Latin showed S4 conditions, English 47. Greek fl, German S4. French 32 and ancient history 31. This confessed weakness in mathematics may account for some interesting figures which H.. A. Farr. assistant professor in charge of the freshman class, presents con corning the choice of subjects by the members of that class. He reports that 97 per cent, chose English, IS per cent Latin, 63 per cent French, 57 per cent. history. the same number German, 54 per cent. mathematics, A per cent chemistry, "A per cent. Greek and 23 per cent physics. These choices show only a slight increase over the preced- ing year for Latin and English and a considerable increasefor mathematics. Of course a student entering college with a condition in "math" must work it off before he can hope for his de- gree.
