I've hope says Miss Mary Bulllley, chairman of the citizenship department, that the women who are able to attend the school will go back to their own towns with sense of the nearness of political questions 10 their own homes and lives The fact that the members of the Yale faculty are giv ing us so much valuable time and assistance proves that in their esti
 nation women are capable of improv ing political and social conditions in the state We shall have to show that their confidence was justihed.'
 Until Monday, October A, regis trations for the school will be re ceived at the headquarters of the league, 72I Main street, Hartford. Registration for the week is $3, for single sessions soc, for the lunch $I.75.
