 and 34 Supervisors Registered.

The summer school under the direc- tion of the State Board of Education opened yesterday morning at Storrs with a registration of 103 teachers and 34 supervising agents.

The complete life is not limited to acquiring sustenance. The social, intellectual and aesthetic jtake pthe leisure time and for these things there is a connection between brain processes and physical process es."
 The principal point of MT. Hines l lecture was brought out in the state ment that the body is the mind at work. He said: "The brain is that i part of the organism which co-ordin- ates the body at work At the conference of supervisors the subject of town and inter-town cen tests was considered. Several super visitors spoke of experiences in con ducting these contests. Among the different contests which have been held in towns under state supervision during the past year are: contests in public speaking, spelling. athletics, agricultural exhibits for which prizes were awarded, taget shooting contests, school attendance contests, contests in connection wit h the school savings banks, dancing ex- hibitions, and statewide composition contests.

BURGLARY AT MANSFIELD.
T. M. SmaIl's House was Entered and
 Revolver and Money Taken.

Late Monday night the home of J. M. Small, situated just outside of the city line on the Coventry road in the town of Mansfield, was broken into, and a small bank, which con tained eight dollars in change, and a pearl handled revolver are missing, as the result. Arthur Small, the son of J. M. Small, who returned to his home at 11:25, was the first to know of the break. Upon entering the house and hearing a noise he became suspicious, but continued up the stairs to his bedroom which he found had been completely ransacked and burnt matches strewn about the floor. He made an investigation and found that the room that is generally occupied by his father had received the same treatment. After going to the home of Alderman c. M. Holbrook and tel ephoning to the police, who could do nothing in the matter as it was out side of their jurisdiction, he came in- to this city to get assistance.
 A number of young men were se- cured who returned to the house with MT. Small and the house together with the premises were given a thorough search, but to no avail It was found that entrance to the house had been made through the dining room window by removing a screen. A step ladder was used to enable the thieves to reach the window. It was later found out that men who had done the work had left by the back door.

' We are informed that the Kaiser is so much afraid of colds and bronchitis that the counterpanes are attached to his bed so that there is no danger of their slipping down at night and ex- posing the shoulders of the imperial sleeper. At the head of the bed is 8 little table on which is an automatic revolver. It has an ivory handle or namented with silver, and is always within arms reach of the emperor Not far from the bed is an old mahon- any chest of drawers, on the slab of which he has arranged all the funeral souvenirs of the dead members of his family. There are so many oddments of one kind and another in the room that when the emperor's mother once visited it she exclaimed, But, my poor son, this room is like the back shop of a. suburban dealer in antiquities."- London Telegraph.
