CONNECTICUT COLLEGES
Seem to Be in Conspiracy to Re
quire More Studying.

From the Hartford Times
Connecticut has arrived at an era of
higher standards In her colleges. Under
the administration of President Luther,
Trinity has taken a place well toward the
head of the list among the smaller COL
leges of the country, improving in every
particular to which scholarship and broad
culture can relate. Wesleyan, always one
of the most particular and exacting of
the smaller colleges, ranking with Will
liams and Amherst. has once more stiffen-
ed its back, if not its course. by adopt
ing new rules requiring higher averages
In scholarship. with a special view. it is
stated, of reaching those gentlemen
who never allow their studies to interfere
with their college work" And from
Connecticuts largest university comes the
Yale News. declaring that. 'in the treat
ment of the deficient, Yale College shows
too much mercy" and advocating the ex-
pulsion from college Of a student who has
failed in his studies instead of dropping
him to the class below, as has been the
custom.
In all of these improvements. proposed
and achieved. there is nothing which the
faithful, conscientious student need fear
The Tightening Of the screws is principal
Nv calculated to benefit the fellow who is
usually found dragging indolently
interest, deriving little or no good, a
hindrance to others and no credit to the
institution. In SO. far as the new stand
a rds will aid either in eliminating this
class or compelling it to aim higher they
must contribute to the welfare Of the COL
ieee in which they are adopted and make
1t more nearly what 1t is usually intended
to be. an institution for those who are
capable of learning and earnestly desire
to do 80.

American Romance.
rom the St. Louis Times.

From the St. Louis Times
There Is much Of the sound old quality
Of Americanism in the current local re-
port describing how a young man in
humble position won the hand Of young
woman whose parents were financially
Independent. When the youth. occupying
a modest post in business where promo
tons are slow, fell in love with the young
woman whom he afterward won. he went
straight to her father and asked for per-
mission to court the daughter.
The father offered the familiar re-
sponse whoever marries my daughter
must be in a position to support her.
But he undertook a little experiment,
looking to the possible furthering of the
young mans suit. He took the youth
into his employ and observed him close
ly. Incidentally. he paid him higher
wages than he had been receiving in his
former position.
The gratifying result was that the
young fellow acquitted himself like a
man, manifesting such virtues as indus
try, application and perseverance He
made good-and he's going to get the
girl.
Not a thrilling romantic story, of
course. But we like it great deal bet
ter than we should have done if 1t had
dealt with arrogance and stubbornness
and an elopement. It's merely a simple
chronicle dealing with the excellent de-
pertinent of two men-yet it's the sort Of
thing, we believe, that makes for the bet
terment o. the race the endurance of
affections and the stability of the home.

sADLERs WELLS DOOMED.
London's Oldest Playhouse Unable
to Compete With the Movies"
LONDON. February "a.

LONDON, February 10, 1914
Sadlers Wells, London's oldest occupied
theater. is threatened by the moving pic
ture invasion. A little more than q hun
dred years ago the theater. located nov
In the slums Of Clerkenwell, was in the
center Of Londons famous springs. where
many prominent people of the day went
to take the waters. When the theater
was first opened its programs regularly
Informed the patrons Of the state of the
moon a week in advance for without a
moon only the bravest would venture TO
make a torch-lit journey to the theater.
Samuel Phelps. master tutor of Sir
Johnson Forbes Robertson, was the last
of the great Shakespearean actors to APP
pear at Sadlers Wells where once the
royalty and elite were entertained When
he retired, after playing more Shake
spearean characters than any other actor
before or since his time, the old theater
rapidly ran down hill. until today il is
devoted to melod; anna of the blood and
thunder type, gallery gods paying cents
each for seats. But even at that price il
cannot compete with the moving picture
dramas, and 1t will soon be given over to
them unless some philanthropist supplies
the funds to open the old place as a peo-
pies national theater
