FIRE elsTERNs.

Hartford Is much exercised ever the unearthing of an unknown hole in the ground near its city hall. It is a vault about eight feet deep and five feet in diameter, built of a double row of brick in the form of a bottle, with stone cover and the remains of a pipe- line leading into one side. It is Go1 clared that 'fno one can be found who remembers what its original purpose was"
 The vault is unquestionably one of the old time cisterns which used to be constructed for the purpose of fire pro lection, the remains of the pipeline in- dicating the way in which the cistern was filled by the rain from the roof of some building. while it was through the top that the bucket brigade or t1e hand engines obtained their supply of water It's location on 9 former church site indicates it's purpose and the roofs which served as it's watershed.
 A number of just such cisterns have been encountered in the streets of this city and there are today a dozen of these cisterns which have been put in a state of repair and connecteG with the water mains, so that tLey are ready for use, whenever occasion feuires as draughtfng pools for fire engines As sucn they are considered an asset by the fire department. Hart ford has discovered an old time piece of fire fighting equipment but is nor alone in the possession of such el-i- dence of antiquity We dare say t is well constructed and will hold wa ter today

TIME TO STOP SCRAPS"

It makes little difference whether t is hazing an annual rush or tank scrap there are limits beyond which such college activities frequently % with fatal results, and the only sen sible action which is demanded ia to abolish them. The latest evidence Of the harm and danger which exist in such affairs comes from Purdue uni . versitv In Indiana, where a long list of injuries and one fatality follow d the annual tank scrap"

In the present instance, it appears that parents of students had expressed such strong opposition to the fight that the faculty had consented to 1t only after the upper ciasSmen had agreed to reg ulats' it. This a1Sdfcation of authority has had its natural result.

STREET SIGNS.

It is to be hoped that the matter of providing street signs which was urged at the meeting of the board of trade will not be allowed to drop without exhausting all reasonable effort in it's behalf Whatever can be done in be- half of more and better street signs is in the interest of public convenience and demands the proper attention in the satisfying of a much needed re- quirement. They are of particular i'm pOrtance to the residents as well as locating a street in a section with which they are not perfectly familiar
 Not only is it the duty of every city to maintain street signs, but they should be of a size and character to insure their legibility Small signs where there is little or no contrast be- tween the letters and the background are not only indisinct but it is ire Quently impossible to discover that any sign is maintained at all. The useless ness of signs which fail 10 serve their purpose is best known to those who have occasion to utilize them
 What is needed for each and every street is a sign board so constructed hat the name of the thoroughfare will be perfectly legible by having background in proper contrast to the ejters and erected in a cons picuous lace. The importance of properly raintaining such signs. once they are placed, should not be overlooked.

ATHLETICS HERE AND ABROAD.

The string of victories carrying with them international ehampionshi@s, which athletes and sportsmen of lis country have won over the English opponents indicates at the present r'o- ment a very onesided situation. T is a situation. however which should en- courage rather than discourage the ex- moments of athletics across the water The fact that this coUntry's experts may be temporarily on top in ire matching of skill and strength nnly calls for a greater determination and desire to regain the lost laurels It not only provides pace to follow, but to beat | is not to be supposed that there will be any slump in interest for there never was a time when 8 keener or more lively interest exist ed than now.
 Great Britain is given greater cause for the quick raising of the half mil lion dollar fund which is desired fo@ the further prOmotion of the athle,ic spirit among the young men Of the country That their representatives have lost in several recent contests does not necessarily indicate that Great Britain's representatives have gone stale Such is not the case but rather does ii indicate the result of the extension and ouickening of the athletic interest in this city. None of the contests was won by luke but the hard fight which was waged each time simply showed the excellent tra ir- ing of the experts who were thus matched

In regard to a successor for Dean Henry Wade Rogers Of the Vale Law school, nominated by President Wilson as United States Circuit Court judge, no action was taken by the Yale corpora = tion at it's September meeting this week. This year his tenth as head of the law department of the university, he will carry on his courses as an nounced and therefore the changes en- tailed by his new position will not come into effect for a year. His ap- pointment to the Second Federal cir cuit comprising New York Vermont and CODnecticut is hailed with regret by his Associates in educational work in New Haven, for his part in the de yelopbent and rise of the Yale Law school has been more powerful than that of any single man. Their re- gret is tempered by the fact that pos- sible arrangements may be made whereby Dean Rogers will still be able to give the school part of his time and the benefit of his experience and per sonality.
 During the decade Judge Rogers has been dean, the standards of the Yale Law school have constantly ascended. Requirements for admission raised as high as obtain at any other law school

With the introduction of the sem ester system in Yale this year came a new arrangement whereby academic term bills for the first half of the year became due at the bursar's office be- fore the opening of the year. Failure to pay by Thursday afternoon was to be punished by exclusion from recita- tions and absences during this period of exclusion were to be taken from the students supply of permissible cuts. In consequence there was such a stream of undergraduates to the bur sar's office as never had been seen be- fore until the middle of the term.

TEACHERS AND PARENTS ARE
 AIDING CHILDREN.
Many Mass Meetings Demand Superin. tendent Heeter's Resignation
 or Discharge.

P1ttsburg, Pa, April 25.-Truant of ficers were sent out to force the re. turn.t to school of more than 20, ,OOO chil. dren, who are striking as a protest against the retention of $. l.. Heeter as superintendent of schools.
 Older children in the high schools derided the officials and retorted that they would do as they pleased and re. main out until Hester is thrown out of office. Hundreds of parents are SUD- porting the children.
 A. Leo Veil, president of the Voters League, whose probing in the coun. cilmen graft cases sent many to prison. is the only member of the committee appointed by the school board to in- yestigate Heeter, who has accepted
 It developed that in several schools the teachers not only failed to main tain discipline, but a few of them abetted the striek and marched with the children.
 Because of revolutionary changes Superintendent Heeter has made in the schools, he has incurred the dis approval of most of the teachers. Be. fore his trial on charges of immor- ality made against him by Ethel Fisher, nurse in his household many attended mass meetings protest ing against his retention in office.
 Mass meetings were held in various parts of the city. The tenor of all of them was the same: "Heeters resig nation or discharge is demanded

JAS. H. KIRKLAND
 ELECTED PRESIDENT
 ARK..'U UNIVERSITY
Special to the News.

Little Rock. April 25.-The Board of Trustees of the Univer- slty of Arkansas in session to- day elected Chancellor James H. Kirkland as President of the University of Arkansas, and J. C. Hardy. former President of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, as Dean of the Department of Agriculture.
 The. Board has for some time had under consideration the question of securing the services of Chancellor Kirkland for Pres ident of the University, and his selection is universally regarded as fortunate for the State.
 For more than a year Chancel- Tor Kirkland has indicated his in- tention of leaving Vanderbilt University on account of some differences existing between his views and those of the Board of Trust, though it was generally regarded at Nashville that he would not leave Vanderbilt.
 The selection of President Hardy is also attended with much favorable comment, and places at the head of the Agricultural Col lege a man of experience in this line.
