GREAT BmrAIN's LESSON.

The fact that fun national status bf the British Dominions has been proclaimed and they have been ac- $orded places in the councils of the Umpire on a footing of equality with ! he mother country recalls a good tory. worthy of repetition.
 Lloyd George. opening the first naetinE of the British Imperial Con erence yesterday, made this an- ouncement which seems to give yer hcation to the fact indicated many ears ago by a prominent English han in an after-dinner. non-official' klk.
 If memory serves, the anair was he attended by prominent Aneri- hns. At such occasions many things To said which are intended to praise country of the guests from other hores. but which are a trife far ktehed and uttered with little sin erity.
 On this occasion. however. the nxiishman spoke better than he new" when he said Great Britain hould feel greatly indebted to Ann +ica. He referred to the wars be- veen England and America and Is
 ported to have said: 80. you see
 nerica taught us one of the great u lessons we ever learned-how to eat our colonies"

there arc no houses. but on which he plans to erect buildings. There may be one other house. half way down that street. The largo dealer is ready to put up the required bond. The lone resident will not. but gets benefits. while the larger owner will. tempor- arily at least. foot the bill with no case. which would illustrate the more usual situation.
 Development of new streeta ia to se encouraged. New streets may not be advantageousiy developed unless water mains run through them. or un- less there is immediate possibility that there will bo such development.
 Tn some instances, recognizing tho situation. owners ot land on which they intend to erect houses, from the occupants of which will come the necessary revenue. have been willing to give bond for tho construction of tho main. adding a. proportionata amount to the price of each lot when it is sold.
 The situation at present prevents the granting of many petitions for the laying of water mains. Many men are deprived of work that would be most welcome at this time. The city re- mains. to a certain extent. undevei- oped.
 The rate of per cent is high enough. if not too high. No relief may come from raising that rate. and mono should be suggested.
 The board of water commissioners, guarding tho interests of tho taxpay- era of the city. have nothing to do except refuse to recommend tho lay ing of a water main unless the re- quired bond guaranteeing payment of 8 per cent of cost Of construction Is given.
 Apparently the only way out of the difficulty would be a pro rata assess ment upon property owners to be ben efited presently or eventually by the water main. Tn this event the strictest. safeguards should be provided to pre- vent the laying of a new water main | where only . few owners would re- ceive immediate benefit, while there | Is practically no prospect of future | advantage to the other property own | .rs assessed. if such a situation may | be imagined.

A CLEAN CITY.

Everyone likes to hear something Ice about himself or herself; one |inht add, itself. New Britain likes hear a nice thing said about it. so the acting Superintendent of Board or Health. pr. R. NJ. Gris- pld, has already made a favorable hpression upon New Britain by prr fl one Of the cIeanest cities New England and asking the sup ,rt of its people in maintaining ana proving its reputation.
 Tbe compliment was made with srpose. We may deserve it, T IL say have been stretched a bit Tn or to make the point.
 The new Superintendent of Health rt his monthly reports. containing ietter asking for cooperation. to physicians of the city. the organ ,tions and many of the people es- |ciaIly and actively interested in matter of the healthfuiness of city.
 At tho beginning of his temporary .umbency of orice. to be of short
 long duration. he has recognized fact that much more may be ae- npilshed by establishing a feeling
 rood will toward the department "a n desire to aid the department.
 n might be obtained by a cam kxn of criticism and antasonism. kcvery bit of aid that may be given n should be forthcoming. Frank
 he says in his circular letter:
 you have any complaints to make
 any suggestions to offer please hte to us or come in and let us k it over." He is equally frank his declaration that "oniy by the lst friendly cooperation between
 medical profession. the school
 rd and the various charity or hizations. backed by the good will support of the general public h VIC hope to maintain and i'm bye tho reputation of New Britain
 the cIeanrest city in New Eng Ia"
 ct us take the new Superintend-
 at his word. Give him the CO.,
 ration he seeks and which he bms so necessary. Certainly the
 in view Is one worth while in Fsry practical sense-

MILITARY TRAINING.

While 1t is admitted that some of the studies pursued at college are of iittle direct practical value in after life. the argument in favor of them that they train the mind so that it is better able to grasp the practical things to be learned as they come up. stiIl applies.
 Some subjects are taught in the higher institutions of learning, not because a knowledge of them will earn a dollar. but because more dol lars may be earned by a mind trained through means of the study of such subjects. This, entirely aside from the fact that a broad education places Il person in a rather advantageous position. in life among those with whom such persons will be associated.
 Military training has advantages far beyond those of teaching a young man or boy how to drill. Laud or deprecate the idea of teaching young men things military with the idea that he will have to use that knowledge. those habits. in war. this advantage of military training still exists.
 It is beginning to be more and more recognized that the everyday train ing Of s very young chiid-a baby even-has A great effect on the fu- ture of that child. The child's dis position is determined in a great measure by the way in which the child is treated in it's first years. If 1t is allowed to have anything it wants it will grow up with the feeling that it should have anything it wants. AS the baby cries for something much desired. so the man or woman will evince dispIeasure in a most ob- jectionable manner if the thing want ed is withheld from him. or her.
 Military training, primarily. teach es discipline. Here the lad learns that his wishes must not always gov- ern his actions; by it he learns that there are persons placed in a position from which they have the right tc command him and he must obey; he learns how to conduct himself when he is in n position to command. Re- spect tor those rightfully superior to him in one phase of life Is taught. The boy or man learns to obey; he learns to command: he learns that there are things which may not be accomplished without cooperation; that he must do his part in making the result desired possible: or he must demand and win obedience from those whose duty is to obey him.
 The things that are taught in the military training course tend to make a good citizen of a boy. He learns that neatness of person is essential. He learns that there arc times when he should show respect or respect should be shown him.
 Were military training to be used only for the purposing of imbuins a militaristic spirit in the young men of the land; if the young student were taught that war was a thing to be desired, that one who excelied in war was to be praised above all others: that \ study of war was the most im- portant thing in the worid-were these things to be taught there would
