A college president addressing a company of ministers, related an in cident of his trip abroad. Standing one day on a wharf in Japan he excited the curiosoty of a laborer. who was wheel ing freight The little yellow man seemed determined to know what had brought the American to Japan.

BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Need of More Dormitory Room Opens Garlands- ments in Lecturers Completed-High School Represen- tatives Confer Admission Requirements Received From Peru-Close of Junior Prom.

New Haven, Jan. 17.-Anotfer col lege dormitory has been provided for the freshmen by the lease of Garland's, at 242 York street, by the college au- thorities- Since 1867 it has been a roomino house for the students of Yale and the name of Garland is linked with many vivid events in undergraduate history. Nine years ago the old house was replaced by more luxurious dornitory, which had housed a good proportion of the freshmen, until by Dean Jones' order last fall Garland's s with the other private rooming houses, were officially deprived of their olien- tele. In the last week it has again been made ready for occupancy, and was opened on Wednesday,
 The sten was taken in view of the fact that there will be in all reliability a larger entering class at college next autumn than can be accommodated in the dormiteries, even now that Wright hall has been completed, said Treas urer Geerge P. Day. It is expected that the prices to be charged by the college for rooms will be considerably lower than rates made by the owners when the house was managed as a pri- vate dormitory
 The lease of the property calls atten- tion rather forcibly to the need of tho college for additional dormitories of it's own. continued MT. Day. It was the desire of the graduates who contrib uted to the erection of Wright hall to provide priv~+- rooms in college build ings for all students in the academical department; yet within six months of the completion of the building it has become necessary for the authorities again to grapple with the problem. The present solution can only be a tenn porary one, and it is evident that the necessity of providing new dormi- tory.

if is rather more to the point in this world to strive to be a man than to strive to be an angel. If there Is any thing more angelic than true man hood, do not know what 1t is, unless it is true womanhood- I have seen men striving to be angels who were always lamenting their frailities and declaring that they were poor worms of the dust; and I felt impressed that was the poorest kind of angelic timber. When Horace Greeley was advised to live for heaven he replied: One world at a time, gentlemen; one world at a time" He seemed to think a man who lived well enough for this world was living well enough for the next world. That seems rational to me, and yet my brother may rise up and say that is one of the most irrational things ever said on earth. In our mentality we are as wide apart as that, and usually both of us are sure we are right. The Saviour told how the millennium could take to His methods. Living for that in this world seems to preclude the necessity for living for anything else

It was Joubert who said: Children are more in need of models than of criticsi" Who would think so to hear the children of the present generation hauled over the coals by their anx- ious parents. Parents err in expect ing their children to live better than themselves The bright child recog nizes a lie or indulgence as well as adults It gets its idea of license in life from the conduct of its parents, and is usually inclined to go them one better Some people think they are doing their duty when they set their children one good example and several bad ones. When you ask your selves if you are good models for your children, doesn't the question remain unanswered2 Is 1t not the models of little vices among men that make juveniles in haste to do manly things like smoking cigarettes and forming other pernicious habits?

The Connecticut high schools have had another important conference with the Yale committees on admission dur ing the past week. The representative of the secondary schools was Superin- tendent of Schools John Petttbone of New Milford, and Clement c. Hyde, principal of the Hartford High school, acted as spokesman for the Connecti- cut Association of Classical and High School Teachers. They contended that the high school could not continue to meet both the requirements for admis- sion to Yale demanded at present and the Increasingly insistent demands for technical and special training from pupils who cannot enter college. In the past few years the number of high school pupils has increased with re- markabie strides, but the percentage of these same pupils who enter college has remained almost stationary, about Der cent.
 The, proposals of the high school teachers are that Yale should limit it's requirements to subjects which do not count more than three quarters of the high seheel. and the remaining work should be entirely elective. It was further desired that this elective work be accepted upon certificate. while u mere genefai exaHaina tien on the other subjects was desired.

The French recognize that pansies stand for thoughts-what flower stands for less A flower is a thing of beauty-a plant which takes on one or many colors. In it's relation to man 1t may be mystery or a symbol-in it's relation to God it is a manifestation of divine de- sign and power. Man has found in the floral kingdom correspondence to love and the qualities of men, hence we have the language of flowers with the red rose symbolizing love, the red poppy consolation the white chrysan- themum truth, etc. All things in na- ture are an expression of invisible power. Flowers do not need soul for they in part represent the Soul of the Universe-the Over-soul. They demonstrate how out of impurity may come purity-how from the dust at our feet may be evolved beauty. They illustrate cooperation, for without the aid of insects hundreds of thousands of them would disappear from the earth.
