 'In tracing the influence of science on the development of mankind the authors purpose is to set forth its humanistic and spiritual aspects rather than to dwell on the material transformation and the conquest of physical nature that have resulted in modern civilization. His illustrations are therefore chiefly drawn from biological science for the purpose of pointing out the possibilities in the eugenic advancement of mankind."- Book Review Digest SOCIAL PLAYS, by Arthur Wing

AUT0IST EXONERATED
J. J. Ahern of Hartford Not Held for Death of IS Year Old Wallingford Girl, Run Down August 23.

New Haven, Sept. 1.-John j.. Ahearn of Hartford was exonerated by Deputy Coroner Wynne last night in finding on the death of Alice Rock, aged IS, Wallingford, on Aug. 23, the girl having been struck by the mans automobile.
 The chief point made was that Ahearn was not operating his ma chine in a reckless manner but the deputy coroner took occasion to point out the danger from glaring head lights, not only to drivers but to pedestrians. Ahearn had claimed that his observation of the road ahead was momentarily blinded by the lights of all approaching vehicle and he did not see the Rock girl who was on the edge of the roade in front of her home, having alighted, with a girl companion, from a trolley car. With Ahearn were Miss Anna J. Sullivan of Hartford and Miss Mary J. Dunn of Waterbury.

For the first time since 1875 quite few crocodiles, who meet every last Thursday of August at Lake Com bounce. were bit timid of the weather yesterday and failed to set aside the date, with the result that only about a hundred of the most enthusiastic sat down when the bell rang for dinner. Every bit of the victuals were done to the Queens taste" and many of the boys who had attended the past 20 or 30 of 'em declared that Brother I. Edward Pierce did himself proud.
 When the dust of the eating had cleared. the members began looking around for the officers of the or ganization; none were present, SO Noble E. Pierce hoped up and got the crowd into gales of laughter by "uncorldng" his famous pig story. Speaker Pierce recited the history of the organization, saying 1t was non- political. (Note for Mir.

to fight professionalism in colleges,
aid from the press In preserving

with professional organizations to

too great a temptation now to over.
