TAFT TO BECOME PROFESSOR
President Decides to Accept Kent
Chair at Yale Law School

Washington, Dec 19.--President
Taft has made up his mind to accept
the proffer of the Kent prclessorship
of law at Yale and probably will take
up his duties al New Haven early in
the spring. The president was said
last night 10 have determine. upon
accepting the Yale proiesscrship for
several reasons He wiil not be re-
stricted merely to lectures 10 Yale
students, but will be permitted TO
lecture if he desires in other law
schools or upon the platform. or To
engage in any other occupation which
he sees fit.
If the president had returned to
Cincinnati to resume law practice he
felt that he would have but little OPP
portunity for practice. He felt that
he could not appear in cases before
the United States supreme court be-
cause he has appointed a majority Of
its membership. He remembered
when he thought of the law that he
had named many federal judges in
Ohio before whom he might have TO
argue cases, and he believed that
about the only sort of practice whic..
he could take up would be interna-
tional, and that he regarded as uncer-
tain.
At Yale the president will be in-sur
'roundings dear to him and will be in
position to engage in almost any
sort of business which he believes an
ex-president can fittingly engage. The
analogy between the Yale professor
ship and Grover Clevelands relation
with Princeton appealed to Mr. Taft
strongly, and when many of his close
friends and advisers wrote to him APP
proving his acceptance of the chair
at Yale he decided to take it,
The president expects to spend sew
eral weeks after March in Augusta
Ga, where he has many friends and
has passed two winter vacations.
The news that the president would
accept the professorship was receiv-
ed with keen pleasure in Yale circles
at New Haven last night President
Arthur T. Hadley said he was very
glad" that the president had made the
decision, and Dean Henry Wade Rog-
ers of the Yale law school said he
was delighted"

While the Balkan war has been go
ing on the three Scandinavian king
doms seem to have been drawn closer
together and statesmen generally look
forward to better relations between
the three countries. On the same day
all three nations declared their inten-
ton to remain neutral in the present
conflict and this is taken by many as
a sign that the three nations are now
willing to cooperate in the interest of
their own protection in case Europe
should be involved as a result of the

A municipal school for servants is
shortly to be opened at Stockholm,
where girls will be given free training
in all practical branches of house
work. The school, which will be un-
der the control of the Stockholm

to the efforts of the seven women
members of that body, who worked
out all details of the scheme and pre-
vailed upon the masculine members
of the council to sanction its being
