At a recent faculty meeting in the
Sheffield Scientific School the schol-
arship honOrs and prizes were changed
with regard to degrees of distinction.
Three divisions have been made with
regard to the receiving of the Degree
of Bachelor of Philosophy with dis
tinctiOn. These degrees will be de-
noted with Distinction. High Distinc-
ton, and Highest Distinction Changes
were also made in exemption from ex-
aminations. The amendment to the
old e'ule stated that students with
grades which would entitled them to
honors may be excused from eXamina-
lions in those subjects at the discre-
ton of the department of the studies
concerned. Another important change
is the requirement of a certain num-
Der of quality credits above a mark
| of 260 which must he had before a
man can graduate. This rule only af-
fects the freshman and junior classes
now in the Sheffield Scientific school
| making due allowance for the lateness
of the passing of the rule. Freshmen
will be required to attain Is hours OF
credit above 26O for graduation.

Last week Mayor Frank j. Rice an
nounced his plan to appoint a Citi-
zenS Committee, representing New
Haven, to cooperate with the Yale
Committee in planning the pageant
which will be given next October in
celebration of the Two Hundredth an
niversary of the removal iof Yale COL
lege from Saybrook to New Haven.
pom learning of the appointment of a
University Committee to take charge
of the celebration plans, Mayor Rice
wrote to Secretary Stokes calling at
tention to the fact that the city of
New Haven regarded the coming cell
ebration as one in which New Haven
felt keen interest and, on behalf Of the
city, expressed a wish to cooperate in
any way the University might indi-
cate. Secretary Stokes having been
forced to resign from the University
Committee because OF i'll health, Mr.
Edwin Rogers Embree, Secretary OF
the General Commietee on the celebra-
ton, has considered the liberal offer OF
services and has requested Mayor Rice
to serve as chairman OF the proposed
municipal committee.

Yale, together with Harvard. Prince
ton, Columbia and many other large
colleges and universities of the cast.
has recently approved a plan pro-
NOTED by the National City Bank OF
New York for the specific training of
college men to enter banking as a
profession and more particularly the
foreign service of the National City
Bank. In brief, the plan requires that
the colleges cooperate with the bank
with regard to the educating of GER
tain men which the universities will
choose, along banking and business
lines. The way the bank puts forward
this proposition is in a well formu-
lated plan of having a certain number
of men from each college serve an APP
premiership with them during the
summer vacation, and in the work OF
their college curriculum. They must
go to the bank in the vacations be-
tween sophomore and junior, and
Junior and senior years, the remaining
| time to be put in during the first OF
| second semester of their senior yeal
or Immediately following graduation
| until one full year is completed. The
men will receive regular pay for theil
| time during this period.

LITTLE GARDEN NOTES.

Always plant the best-not the
cheapest seed you can get for flowers
or vegetables.
The garden should be near the
house and surrounded with a good,
woven wire netting or hedge of
shrubbery, to keep out fowls and
other garden pests

TABLE DECORATIONS
BY l.. Nj. BENNINGTON.

We cannot all have flowers for the
table if we are dependent on the green
houses in our neighborhood for
the supply. The cost is out of all
proportion But flowers we ought to
have and can have at a very nominal
cost in time and money if we are will
ing to take care of few plants in the
home
The best all-round plant for deeora-
ton for the table is asparagus plumo-
sus. Its foliage is far daintier than
any other fern. 1t can easily be made
to grow in the bushy, compact form
which a plant designed for use ON the
table should have.
Pinch off the ends of the young
fronds when they have made a growth
of II or IS inches This causes the
lower side branches to spread out
broadly and thus breadth is secured
where there would be little if the plant
were allowed to train itself
Long stem flowers can be thrust
through its flmy green foliage If add
ed beauty is needed, but there are few
ferns comparable to this filmy, lacy
fern.
This plant requires soil of gar
den loan made light with sand Water
moderately. For its successful culture
sunshine is not necessary.
Keep the red spider from injuring
it. and shower several times a week
Nip off the end of each shoot and
make the plant spread out well.
Pots of Roman hyacinths and lilies
of the valley and narcissus make
charming adjuncts to the breakfast
table. Few plants can be kept on the
table day after day without becoming
unhealthy. Have a shelf in your win
dow and give the flowers a change,
using one only for day or two and
changing to something different This
gives them all fair chance at the
sunshine and light.

THE BEAUTY OF A FINE LAWN
By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN,

The question of whether to sod or
seed is of primary Importance. A
solid greensward is Immediately Sc
cured il We sod. The objections to
sodding are many Good sod is not
always procurable. 1t requires an ex-
ira amount of labor to sod. If the
grounds are very large it is not prac-
teal
II, however, sodding is decided upon,
the ground should first be leveled and
smoothed to the proper grade. The
surface should then be stirred and pull
verified to depth of an inch or more
and suitable fertilizers worked in.
1t is well to spread rich dirt from
the creek bottom or woods over the
surface. 1t will give the sod quick
start and give new life to the original
soil.
1t is not essential to cut the sod
more than an inch thick, or just deep
enough to include all the underground
stems, but the thicker the sod is the
better.
1t is not necessary in laying the
sods to lay them flush against each
other as grass will sprout from the
sides and the spaces allow for expan-
sion in settling and leyeling. As soon
as the sods are laid give the entire
lawn a complete wetting, then go over
the surface with a roller to level 1t.

a good lawn may be made from
seeding. 1t takes much longer to pro-
duce a permanent grassy lawn. The
seed must be sOwn thick1y and worked
thoroughly and evenly into the soil.
1t is a good idea, If trees and shrubs
do not interfere, to plow the ground
or spade it fine, smooth and compact
before sowing the seed. Be sure the
soil has been made rich with decom-
posed manure or very rich soil hauled
in from some other place.
Seed at intervals of about six weeks
from early spring until late summer
in the yard with open and tree shell
tered spaces. Keep the surface moved
clean and short SO that the young
grass will have chance to grow.
After grass gets to be two or three
inches high there is little danger of
killing it by frequent moWings If for
