COMPENSATION COMMISSIONERS

By his appointment to the compen- sation commission to fill vacancy, and the renomination of two of the members of that body whose terms expire during his incumbency of the goVernorship, Governor Holcomb again reveals his determination to take care of the interests of Connecticut. In this instance, as in others which have pre- ceded, he makes it plain that he is g. firm believer in merit. that he takes into consideration the welfare of the state when making appointments and that partisanship does not cloud his judgment.
 Those who saw, or thought they did, a grand return to the spells sys- tenn by the action which was recently taken by the legislature and approved by the governor in instituting needed reforms in the civil service law, have been given evidence to the contrary, even in cases where the law has no application. In these appointments to the compensation commission Governor Holconb has selected as the new mem Der a man who has been closely as- sociated with Commissioner Russell during his term. His experience Is particularly valuable to the state and in the reappointment of Commission CTS Williams and Donohue he was act uated by the same reason. They have made a study of the compensation law They are the best equipped of any to put it, and such changes as may be authorized by this legislature, into operation and they have indicated by the faithful performance of their du- ties that there is an added value in their services to the state. In their quasi judicial capacity such a policy of reappointment was to be expected It is a policy which should be con- tinued.

EXCEEDING APPROPRIATIONS.

Exceeding appropriations is a serious fault with which municipalities have to contend, so that when it is brought out that the practice is getting a hold upon those who are entrusted with different phases of the states business the need of checking such tendency can be appreciated.
 It can be realized that the defciency of over S117,000 by the tuberculosis commission. was expended in a good and needy cause, in which the whole state is interested and for which 8 great deal is being done through other channels, but to permit such excess expenditures by one department is bound to have it's effect upon others. If one commission follows that method and 1t is condoned, there are the best Of reasons why others should look upon 1t as an endorsement of that manner Of doing business and proceed to pur- sue a' similar course. With all due re- spect to the zeal of the directors of such bodies the policy to be followed should apply to all alike. and that should be a strict regard for the lim- Its which are placed upon their work gauged by the funds which are author ized for their use. Otherwise there is |o10 @O oSfOAOp a looSSueSS III the expenditure of state money which will go from bad to worse,
 For the past several years the state of Connecticut has been justified in its effort to keep down expenses. Un- less there is the proper cooperation by commissions such efforts are nuI- 1ified.

compulsory attendance requirements there were 17.789 boys and girls of school age in the rural sections who were not in attendance during each of the years from 1906 to 1913, and while school age in that state means from to 21 years it reveals many children who were not getting even the advan- tages which the state provided which leads the investigator to believe that <'the district system has something fundamentally wrong about it."
 The bringing to light of such facts as are obtainable from such investigations provides a basis for a remedy and should they be made in many other states an improvement of rural school opportunities could be expected.

class. The usual laboratory fees and incidental charges remain as hereto fore. The annual charge for tuition for students who entered the college prior to September, 1914, is s155. For students entering in 1914 and thereaft- CT the regular charge for tuition will be forty dollars year plus eight dol lars per hour of instruction provided per year; so that the normal tuition charge for students taking fifteen hours of work will be $160. These tu- ition charges include fees for registra- ton and for the use of the university library and gymnasium. An additional charge of ten dollars is made in senior years to cover expenses of graduation.
 During the past winter those mem bers of the last three graduating classes who live in New Haven have been gathering weekly and bi-weekly at Aory's association for informal lrncheons. The movement has met With universal favor, and every week there are luncheons in the senior room of the club for one or the other of these classes. This has given the men an opportunity to get together occasionally. Some of the members of the class of 1912 who live in New Ha- ven realized this winter the need of getting together once in awhile for an informal reunion. It was decided to meet regularly once a week for luncheon, and 19i2 Shelf was invited to join them in the project. The plan was greeted enthusiastically, and now there is an average of 25 mem bers at each affair. The classes of 1913 and 1914 have also become inter ested in the plan, and now they, too, are meeting regularly. These occa- sions are also gaining favor with the members of the classes who live out side the city, and graduates have been coming in more and more frequently from Meriden, Hartford, Waterbury and other nearby cities. The purpose of this project is threefold; first, to renew class friendships; secondly, to keep in touch with the undergraduate life in the university; and thirty to promote the interests of Mory's which under the new graduate man. agersh;p is the natural meeting place for Academic and Shelf. During the past two or three years similar lun- cheons have met with enthusiastic support by the members of the class es living in New York, and no doubt it will soon be taken up in all the larg- CT cities Of the East. Here in New Haven these luncheons have been such pleasant gatherings that it is hoped at the succeeding classes will support the idea.

RURAL SCHOOLS.

As a result of an investigation
 of the schools of Colorado Pro- lessor Sargent comes to the conclusion that while city children enjoy the best that money can buy, country children must be content with the ragged edges of our public school system" and there are good reasons for believing that such conditions are by no means peculiar to Colorado. In a great many states, if not all, the at tention which is given to city and country schools is about in that same proportion, though rural schools of many states get far better facilities than others
 of the 1725 school districts in the state of Colorado having not over $50 children, the average school cen sus for the eight years was S2.174, while the average enrolment was only 64,3S5, or 7S per cent. of the census. Is shows that while Colorado has

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The state farm for inebriates would be a money saving device for the peo- pie of Connecticut and might be a life saver for many who had lost their grip on self-control. At least it would be a boon to such unfortunateS and would relieve the taxpayers of much of the burden of their care.-New Haven Union.
 New Jersey automobilists are much disturbed over court decision that a driver may be convicted of assault and battery if he hits man with his car. If they didn't mean to hit him, they think it rather hard that they should be held accountable.

 Look for the New England trade marks upon the articles you purchase, ask in the shops for those goods that you know are made in these five states and stimulate that which will bring back golden returns sooner than if your efforts were expended over a wider area When you buy New Eng land goods you help your own state and your own town and when you do that you help yourself.-Meriden Jour- nal.

Where reformation in this re- spect has taken place, there is little disposition to return to old conditions.
