Pie crust is condemned as indiges-

fiaky crust well baked and well mas
ticated, is not unwholesome, If eaten
not too frequently or in too large
quantities. At any rate, bad or good,
people will have pie, so let us make
them as perfectly as possible.
The proportions for a medium rich
crust are one and half cups Of -four

MENTAL HYGIENE.

Organized for the purpose of con- serving mental health and to help raise the standards of care for those suffering from or in danger of devel- oping mental disorder, it is a most commendable effort which the Ma tional Committee and the Connecticut Society for Mental Hygiene are mak- ing to enlighten the people of Con- necticut at this time in this import ant matter. With the steady increase in the number who are being commit ted to state and private institutions because Of mental disorder. it is per fectfy apparent that the time is ripe when in addition to the treatment of those people already afflicted every effort should be made to check the in crease so far as possible by arousing 9 greater interest in the protection of mental health and the education of humanity in such conservation.
 It is for such a purpose that a mental hygiene exhibit and conference will be held at Woolsey hall in New Haven all next week with public meet ings on the sixth. eighth. tenth and eleventh with prominent speakers of national repute. Just so much as it is possible to ward off mental disease just so much better is the nation over coming n serious handicap, which 1t should be able to report on the de- crease rather than on the increase. This campaign of education concerns everyone and as has been the exper- fence in other states Connecticut can get great benefit therefrom. Conser- vation is important in every avenue of human effort but no more so than in that which concerns mental health.

MODERN FIRE APPARATUS.

As an example of nlodernfzsng q fire department Springfield is making great progress and the merits of automobile apparatus receiving a demonstration which is going to be of much value to every city " mich has such a prob lem to deal with. Springfield Is profit ing by the change and the results ob- tafned both as to economy and efH- eiency call forth an enthusiastic re- port From the board of fire commits eioners. Though the department has added over a score and half more men the report shows a saving of over $s.e8o for the year and so excellent has been the work of the year that the commissioners feel Justified in ask ing for the entire modernizing of the department for the best interests of the city.
 It is constantly being demonstrated that the best service at the least cost is to be gained from the automobile. 1t overcomes the expensive keeping of the horses when they are used and it provides the quickest method of re- spending and teaching fire. in which lies the secret of efficient service in every fire department. Norwich has found that its one piece of auto ap- paratus has fully demonstrated it's worth and justified the experiment, so much so that 1t has passed the ex- perimental stage and made it evident that the equip pment of the fire de- partment of the future depends upon the motor driven apparatus So rapid has become this development that not a few cities will skip over the ex- pensive equipment where horses at one time gave the best service but which has been outdistanced by the motor.

PUBLIC UTILITIES REPORT.

After a years service under the new title it is an interesting report which the public utilities commission makes to the governor of it's work. The re- port indicates that there Is a field for the service of such board and in it's broadened duties from those Of the railroad commissioners, it has demon strated it's worth and justified the leg islatfon which made it a reality. A year is a short time for it to get in touch with its field and the many prob lens which develop, but it has given such conscientious and immediate at tentioE to them as to win the appre- ciation of the public concerning it's service and impress upon them the fact that 1t is intent upon fulfilling it's duty to all concerned.
 The first year has served to show up it's handicaps and these it is pro- Gosed to rem edy by legislation through -he recommendations which it makes for that purpose. A number of inn portant decisions and rulings have been made by the commission, con- corning the railroad, trolley and other public service interests of the state and it has manifested determination to do all in it's power to see that deaths through negligence shall be reduced to the minimum. It's year of service, through it's report. indi- cates that it has been able to see where it can be of still greater value to the state and that in the future, with the proper attention given to it's recommendations it can better look after such duties which come within it's jurisdiction

The Teacher.

It makes no difference how much a teacher knows. All examinations as to the teachers knowledge of the facts of history or arithmetic or anything else are humhugs- The essential thing in a teacher is this: Does he under stand the child. is he anxious. patient and willing to teach the child, and has he the art to make the child want to learn?
 Take such teacher. with no know ledge whatever, for instance. of alge- bra. and let him learn with the child, and he will teach better than the alge- braic expert who does not know and love children.
 If had my way I should have no examination, oral or written. of ap- plieants for the pesition of teacher; but I should have trial schools, the candidate should be put there, and we should see what we should see. If he could teach. If he inspired children. if they prospered under him. he should be employed. even if he could not read nor write. If he could not teach, if he repeiied and chafed the children. he should be dismissed, even if he knew the Encyclopedia Brittaniea back wards.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
Love is Beyond Good and Evil.

Love" said Nietzsche. .is beyond good and evtl;'' which amounts to very much 5the same as the meaning of the Bible where 1t states that love is the fulfilling of the law" The idea is that all our moral codes. our rules of con- imperfect, feeble efforts to do what can only be accomplished by a prtnai- tive instinct. For. as Bergson teaches, all philosophy gets around by and by to the conclusions of the instincts.
 Ore has ga-ned sslesf Gcal when he l,;as gr4sped this truth. For the right sort of folks the sense of ought cannot be gainsaid; and to live in daily conflict with one's feeling of duty is intelerahle. But when we attempt to get our thoughts. words and deeds lined up by rule to agree with our moral convictions, we find the task hopeless. We are always breaking down. Human nature is al- ways tripping us.
 It Is a relief then to find the reme- dy in this very human nature itself, in it's most primeval instinct. love
 This world. and the heaven above it. Is for lovers. Let us love, nobly, who'll ly, leyally. gladly. and we have all the ten commandments, moral precepts and religious ceremonies in solution in our hearts.
 For such love there is no law.

PHILANTHROPY.

Many records were broken in speed altitude and accidents during the past year and in the list must also be in cluded that of philanthropic giving, when it is announced that 8 total of over $300,000, 900 was dishursed by people of wealth in the interest of charity and for educational, religious and sociological work. during the year With this display of interest in the welfare of those less fortunate than the givers as to worldly possessions it Is also noticeable that there is an in- creased interest in the provision of help in the shape of pensions for those who have reached the age when it is advisable to retire from active life, and the providing of laws which will be in the interest of the poor man.
 Not too little credit must be given to the good which will result from the extensive contribution to the objects for which the three hundred million viII go. but thers is still large class who need to be given the independence from charity by providing them the means cf helping themselves There are many conditions which need to be overcome in the interest of the down. trc6den which philanthropy will not reach yet 1t Is a commendahis step which everyone takes who, being pas- sessed of wealth distributes it where will do as much good as possIhls for their feIlowmen, and which by proper application shouId gradually operate to do the greatast amount ef good to the greatest number, Fhffan= thrcry Is accomplishing great thinss which would not bs possible withent q

THE VALUE oF HEAlrH.

The picture of health and robust and strong reaching his seventy fifth birthday, Admiral Dewey gives advice which rings with common sense when he advocates as many others in his class have done, the elimination of hot suppers and the living of the sim pie life for the attainment of old age in good health. It Is the failure to heed such advice which leaves so many marveIling at such physical con- dftion which is retained by too few men Too many are sacrificing their health and lives in the gaining of wealth and the having of a good time rather than giving attention to such golden advice until it is too late. How much would John D. Rockefeller be willing to sacrifice now to obtain the health which Admiral Dewey pos sesses?
 Only a comparatively few do 1t now but scientists talk of a return of the day when men will commonly round out their centuries of life. To this the Omaha Bee says:
 Tt may come-we hope it will but if so, it will be when men devote more time to living and less to get ting: when they realize that life is more than meat and the body than gold. longevity will never come to the man or the race that burns the candle at both ends and defies na- ture's laws"
 Man is persistent in going his own way, but it is a wise one who listens and takes the advice which is the result of experience The value of health Is not reckoned in money
