Girls Barred As
 Medical Students

London, April 29 - Lord Knute- ford, chairman of the London Hospi- tal has aroused a storm among British women doctors because iof his decision to admit no more women students to the institutions famous medical school
 The chief grounds of fthle de decislon are that the staff have found d1ff1- culties in teaching to mixed audi ence certain unpleasant subjects which must be taught to all stu0snRs of medicine.
 Many students have refused to coms to the hospital if women are being taught there,'' says Lord knuts ford. ''They prefer to- go through
 'Men have a strong dislike of being in the same classes with women ana attending demonstrations in the wards with them. I am speaking par between eighteen and twenty-two years of age. There are some demon stratfons and treatments that 1t IS unthinkab1o should be witnessed by class of men and women.
 'Tn future women students must keep to their town schools and be taught Hby women"
 Women Doctors Disagree
 Professor William Wright, dean Of tho London Medical School, agrees win Lord Knutsford. Tt is not true" he says, that our action rep rcsents opposition on the part Of men
 
 t'It is due to the difficulty of teach ing certain subjects to men and women together. This occurs in lec- lures on diseases confined to men and to women. What happens is that a teacher either must shirk some of his exposition or he must screw up his courage. Some subjects can only be taught to men and women in sepa- rate classes.
 ssThen again there is the difficulty of giving wonnian what are known as resident appointments in hospitals the appointments held by students Immediately after qualification in England b1untly controvert these views. Famous physicians like Dr. Elizabeth Sloan Chesser and Dr. Louisa Garrett Anderson describe them as "absurd.''
 'sNo difficulties of the kind have ever risen says pr: Anderson The real reason for this decision is that the men are afraid of women's competition in the profession" Says Sex Doesn't Enter Dr. William J. Fenton, dean Of Charfng Cross Medical School, also takes the women's side He declartss that he has never found any difficult ties about mixed classes in his fnst1- tuition.
 We stand up for the principHe.'' he says. that in medical education and science sex does not enter at all. "If 1t were not for their dress we should not realize any difference be- tween our students. and my staff and myself are strongly of opinion that profession, they should receive the best possible education, and this can not be done by shutting them up in school by themselves"

H. s. Girls Plan More Activity
 In Athletics

High school girls. under the direc- ton Of Miss Helen Clark, athletic iu- structor at the Hilltop school, are planning greater activity than ever along athletic lines. Always leaders in girls sports, the high school misses are beginning to take a decided inter Which hitherto have appealed only to boys. Soccer, football, baseball and volIeyball sports which make stern demands on the hardest coustitO- tons, and are distinctly boys games are being adopted by the fair sex. The different classes are daily practi0anS there games indoors as part Of their athletic training.
 Soccer football has a stronger hold on the interest of the girls than soune Of the other games. The Hilton dn- tltutlon has been represented by & g1rIs soccer team for the past two years. Games are played at Seaside Park and the crowds of rooter,s that attend these contests attest that the sport Is popular one. Managers have experienced difficulty in obtajn ing teams from other schools to play in Bridgeport apparently because the soccer game does not seem to be as PopTlar outside of this city. Miss Clark Is coaching four girls classes in soccer playing, and intends to stage elimination games at Seaside Park to decide which team is the best
 Baseball Popular
 Until recently baseball has not been dpia to cla1m the popularity with the fair sex at the high school that sor- cer and basketball have enjoyed. Sew eral Womens colleges produce baseball teams the members of which handle the bat and ball with skill and dax- terity. Miss Clark expects to have four g1rts baseball teams in the field this Spring, each class being represented oy nine Senior and Junior girls are practicing the indoor or soft baI variety until the ohin winds mellow and the ground hardens a bit, when they will take to the open. That the national lpastilne. will soon be as pop uFar with girls as it is with bows is Miss Clark's prediction

"One new house a year, is the slogan of the embryo building con tractors now training for the1r vo- cations at the Bridgeport State Trade School. The boys of the carpentry, drafting, plumbing, electrical, and decorating departments have hnlsheo erecting their eighth dweIhng mouse isI5 in as many years Not oonrent with resting on their well-earned 1aurels, they are expecting that the close of the year 1922 will see house No. completed.
 It has been the policy of the State Board of Education to put into effect in the Trade Schools a building pro gram calling for the erection of one of practical instruction which the student receives. This type of work Is invaluable in training the boy for his career The students not only (with the exception of the mason work and plastering) but the work of construction is supplemented by each department making out estimate and specification sheets for their reSpec- tive jobs.
 Ali drawings of floor plans and ex- teriors are done to the satisfaction of the prospective purchaser Before a nail is driven each boy knows exactly how much lumber, how many spikes, how many gallons of paint, etc, are needed, and has the cost of the entire project figured to the last penny, by modern business methods This train ing in the business end of the trade is essential Many a small contrac- tor just entering into a business ca reer has found that his lack of knowledge of the business end of his vocation is a serious handicap.
 House No s is an attractive cottage of the hip-roof type, and has a one car garage and capacious sun-parIor. It is located in the Brooklawn section of Fairfield where passers-by often remark on its beauty of design and rugged construction. The interior trim on the first floor is chestnut fin ished in the natural shade and grain :; the second floor trim is pine enamel ed white with birch doors finished in mahogany.

Stratford, April 29-Dr. G. F. Lew is, town health officer of Stratford Is greatly concerned over the threatened smallpox epidemic in Stratford. In view of the serious aspect of the sit uation Dr. Lewis has given orders that no unvaccinated child will be permit ted to attend any of the Stratford schools after May 1. Free clinics are being held today at the Washington and Nichols avenue schools, where children are being vaccinated.
 Danger of the spread of the disease has been increased since one of the children now stricken has been in contact with hundreds of people at movies and in school before the af- fiction was discovered by the health officials. Stratford has been exposed to the disease to a greater extent than any other town in the state, and eX- treme precautions are being taken to prevent its spread.
