But what viii they say when they read

course, candor compels mere woman
to add that this bold statement was
preceded by another equally venturesome,

more clever than the cleverest women;

Or perhaps DR.. Burt had in mind the
mad bursts of frenzy seen and heard
when the stock market goes all to pieces
and when men are caught In the break
or perhaps when some particular stock
goes up and up, even higher than the
hopes Of its holders, and pent-up emotion
has nothing to do but shout forth its Joy.

by his presence at a football game, when
men shout themselves horse, fling their
hats madly In the air. and completely
lose their heads? II does seem rather
more like hysteria than a sane healthy
game. because spectators and players
alike are excited and wild as the scrim-
mage itself.
And broken bones and damaged heads
all too frequently play an important part
In the football story. But that does not
stop the game. nor does il calm the i'm
passioned shouters, whose emotions are
keyed up to the highest pitch Of excite

the contest has great possibilities as an
outlet for marvellous strength and emo

be, a limit to the display of frenzied

Centra! Vermont May Garry Troops
Government Making Inquiries For Shipping Soldiers From Fort Ethan AIen-Would Go To Arizona Near The Mexican Border-Would Embark On Transports At New London

There is possibility that New London's harbor is once more to play part ln the transportation of United States troops and that they may pass through here as they did going north ward from the Spanish American war in September 1898, if the inquiries which the war department has been making of the officials of the Central Vermont railway result in action be- ing taken along the lines under con- sideration. On Sept P, 1898, the United States transports Manitoba and Mississippi steamed into New London harbor bearing each nearly 900 caval- rymen and as many horses on their way home from the Cuban campaign, and the caValrymen went northward over the Central Vermont road
 At that time the capacity of New London harbor was given a notable test. There was some question as to whether the transports could get in sufficiently near shore to make a land ing of the troops and baggage an eco- nomical proposition. The result spoke for itself. The Manitoba ran up to the Central Vermont wharf and the troops walked ashore on the gangplank. The Mississippi anchored off the union sta tion. Fully 5000 persons assembled to greet the returning soldiers and as the transports steamed into the harbor but a few feet from the crowd cheer after cheer rang out
 The troops were transferred from the transports to trains of the Gen.

 considered by the war department, or rather the reverse of it. Wednesday an inquiry was received by officials of the Central Vermont railway fro
 headquarters of the road in St Albans asking for information regarding the depth of the harbor at various points with reference to the possibility Of transports getting in to receive troops from the Central Vermont trains
 It is stated that the war department is contemplating sending the garrison at Fort Ethan Allen to the far south by transports. The plan suggested is to send them by train to New London, where they would embark for some southern port, possibly Galveston.
 1t is further stated that they will be stationed in Arizona near the Mexican frontier and that their place at Fort Ethan Allen will be taken by the garri- son of one of the Arizona forts.
 The information requested by the war department from the Central Yer mont was immediately furnished by officials who secured data from recent and soundings. That immedi- ate action is to be taken by the war department in moving the Vermont troops is the opinion of those most closely in touch with the proposition.

PUBLIC EDUCATION
 IN THE MANUAL ARTS.
Is Need of the Times Says President
 Sykes of Womens College.

President Frederick H. Sykes, head of the Connecticut College for Wo- men, which is soon to be added to the educational institutions of this county spoke last week before the State Teachers association at New Ha- ven and Hartford.
 pr. Sykes discussed What Public Education, Particularly Education in Art and the Manual Arts, Can Do for the Prosperity of New England. Edu- cation and industry, long considered as parallel lines meeting only at infinity, are coming Ogether-eduCatorS work ingmen, manufacturers are facing a common problem arising out of actual needs in the life and development of an industrial civilization. Industries require better trained, better in formed labor supply; they are getting mainly only the eliminated" pupils over half the school population who nave left school with less than a seventh grade education. Children can be better trained, more alert in mind and body, if school duties and school methods are squared to the childs nature by extensive use of art and the manual arts in all grades, since the chief avenues to the brain the hands. A better labor supply would go from the schools into in dustry
 If parents try to withdraw children to earn money for the family, show the higher earning power of the right kind of education. If necessary, legis- late to save the child from exploita- ton.
 In higher elementary and sec ondary education courses of studies should be still further differentiated; continuation schools of great number and variety should be instituted, and local technical schools of the local in dustries. This would transform our present system, still mainly a single track line into a system serving all parts of the community Dr. Sykes ended by contrasting the present rig idity of American education with re- gard to industrial training with the fexibility and variety of European systems, by showing what the state education in Connecticut would look like if it were remodeIed by Germany.

PERlSHABLE MATTER
 IN PARCEL POST. Special instructions Regarding Wrap ping-Senders Must Comply.

Special instructions have been issued by the postoff1ce department regard ing. the use of perishable matter and such articles as are liable to cause damage to other mail.
 Complaints, which have been ire quent of late, have been largely due to failure of the senders to comply with the regulations concerning the proper packing of such articles.
 chicken was received at a Con- necticut office from one of the star routes, recently, which was insecure ly wrapped in paper and which if sent in that condition would have been liable to cause damage. It was .neces- sary to repack it before mailing.
 Several packages of fruit, have been received in jelied condition, and therefore worthless to the receiver and difficult to handle in the mails
 Section 34 of the parcel post regula- tion, covering articles of this nature reads as follows:
 Parcels containing perishable arti- cles must be marked 'perishable.' Ar aicIeS likely to spoil within the time reasonably required for transportation and delivery must not be accepted for mailing.
 Butter, lard and perishable articles such as fish, dressed meats, dressed fowls, vegetables, fruits, berries and articles of similar nature which de- cay quickly, when wrapped as to prevent damage to other mail matter will be acceptable for local delivery, either at the office of mailing or on any route starting therefrom. When enclosed in an innner cover and strong outer cover of wood, metal, heavy cor rugated pasteboard. or other suitable material, and wrapped so that nothing can escape from the package, they will be accepted for mailing to all offices within the first zone"
 Postmasters and clerks are informed that when ever it is shown that the loss or damage to a. parcel or its con- tents Is clearly the result of improper packing or wrapping at the time of its receipt at the office of origin, the per- son responsible for it's acceptance in that condition will be held accountable for the damage
