.THE PEACE OF MANKIND.

No better use could be made OF the
interval between the adjournment OF
the sixty-seyenth congress and the as
sembling OF the next than to help cre-
ate such an unmistakablc public SEN
timent In favor of the United States
Uking one proposed step toward
world peace that the members of the
! next congress will have no doubts OF
the feeling OF the people on this mat
ter.
Perhaps no more worth while be-
ginning could be made in this declar-
cd intention. than that which would
disabuse the peoples minds of the
idea that George Washington, into
whose lips are so often enormously
placed Thomas Jefferson's words
against "entangling alliances" would
today oppose our attempts to join
with the nations OF Europe In assur-
ing future peace. One sentence of his,
quoted recently in Golfers Weekly, is
sufficient for this purpose although
many other declarations of the ia
Their of his country" might be cited to
prove his attitude. Many quotations,
however, often confuse. One, directly
to the point, should stand alone. The
significance of it should not be
marred by less pointed and less CON-
prehensiye statements.
This important sentence was writ
ten by George Washington in one of
the last letters he wrote, to William
Vans Murray of Maryland on October
26, 1893. MY own WISH" was his
declaration, lis to see everything set
tied upon the best and surest founda-
ton for the peace and happiness of
mankind, without regard to this, that
or the other nation.'
Small men, considering the lofty
ideals inspiring such statement,
could not remain long blind to their
own littleness were they to oppose the
entry of the United States into the
World Court.

"WHAT is YALEo"

Out of the many elevating thoughts
that were inspired by the gathering
of Yale graduates at the annual din
ncr of the Yale Alumni Association of
Hartford County last evening, there
stands out the reply to the question,
what and Where is Yale" That an
swer was given in the closing words
of one of the impressive speakers of
the evening, George S. Hurst, when
he declared earnestly; Wherever a
Yale man shows willingness to serve
his fellow men in a large or small
way according to his ability, there
is Yale. Yale is not a thing nor a
place; 1t is a spirit, quality of con-
duct =. You are Yale: l am Yale.
God help u.s. The appeal of the
speaker to measure up to the STAN
dard of his great trust came from his
appreciation of the responsibility
which rests upon all men to display
that spirit of helpfulness, of service
BY peculiar coincidence small
gathering of New Britain graduates
of the university, meeting to go to the
dinner in a body, discussed a matter
which might well have been inspired
by the text of Mr.. Hursts talk. At
that gathering the Willingness to
serve" took the form of a plan, not
yet made concrete but one which has
already aroused enthusiasm, of send
ing a New Britain boy to Yale every
four years. He will be the ward of
the Yale men of this city during his
course and when he is graduated his
place will be taken by another, una
Bile to have such an opportunity with
out such help, but who will thus be
given the chance to make the most
of himself and who, by representing
the New Britain alumni of Yale, will
give them the chance TO live the
spirit of Yale-the spirit of service

CONNECTICUT TEACHERS

The startling statement was made
yesterday by the chief of the bureau
Of tests and Investigations of the state
board of education that 46 per cent
OF the teachers in the state of over
five years experience are daughters of
foreign born parents.
The first thought that comes is one
that is decidedly complimentary both
TO the foreign-born and to their off
spring. Certainly men and women
born in other countries are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunities offered
here when they encourage and help
--as many must do--their daughters
to gain the education necessary for a
career of teaching. And certainly
these figures show laudable ambi-
ton and energy on the part of daugh-
tors of parents born in other coun-
tries, which makes them select the
splendid profession of teaching as a
life work.
The teachers OF this state meas
ure up to the standards of those OF
other states. If this were not the case
the educational advantages of Connec-
ticut would not be praised as highly
as they are. And nearly half OF these
excellent teachers must inherit some
tendencies ideals, not American. This
is not saying anything against the
tendencies and ideals thus inherited;
it is merely declaring the obvious fact
that they differ from the ideals and
standards we, as Americans, wish to
have cultivated in our school children.
Nor is there any occasion for sugges-
tions changing this situation. The
saaching profession like all others.

A BROAD VIEW

Opinions of clergymen differ as to
the proper use to DE made of church.
es. Some believe that they are sacred
edifices to which only people desiring
to worship should come and in which
only religious matters should be dis
cussed. Others hold the theory that
there is no possible harm in making
them scenes of entertainment of a
secular character provided such en-
tertainment is elevating. Moreover
some of the same men who consider
certain portions of a church sacred.
advocate the use of other portions of
the building for pleasures such as
dancing of which those who are more
liberal in their conception of the
church, disapprove entirely.
These differing opinions are en-
titled to the greatest respect. As vet
there is no movement of which one is
aware, to regulate peoples opinions
ON religious matters by law 1t is to
be hoped that such time never comes.
The point here made is entirely
aside from the merits of these diff
fering opinions, the noteworthy mat
ter is that the day has come when the
clergyman of one denomination feels
at liberty to commend radical dc.
parture by minister of another. Such
favorable comment discloses a breadth
of view which is admirable. People
may differ as to the merits of a GER
tain movement by church: some
may approve and some may disap-
prove. But few will be sorry that. to-
day, the clergyman of one church
seeing something of which he an
proves in another church, does not
hesitate to praise that thing. The
mystery that was thrown about sacred
things in the dark ages is accountable
for much Of the misunderstanding of
these times, and along with such
mystery went a tendency on the part
Of thcoogians OF the past to refuse
to discuss openly the most important
matters OF life here and hereafter.

pPUBLIC SENTIMENT"

Mayor Paonessa is quite correct
In his statement that public sentiment
would be against allowing any man to
risk his life climbing the face of one
OF Main streets buildings. His re-
tusal to sanction such a performance,
merely for entertainment, will be APP
proved.
This is the public sentiment" of
today and II is the result of the TRACE
dy OF the death of a young man in
New York recently who was attempt
ing a similar performance. The mat
ter worth emphasizing in this connec-
ton, and the excuse for referring
again 10 this matter, is that public
sentiment" on this one question at
least, should remain as it is today.
The habit of'forgetting should not be
allowed to cover an affair of this
kind. A real protest would he made
If such an exhibition were to be al
lowed today, Tomorrow that protest
would be fainter, probably and in a
few months, when the death of the
young man in New York is all but
forgotten, people would be apt to
make no protest at all.
In this dhe case, at least, steps
should be taken to make today's pub
lie sentiment New Britain tradi-
ton. No needless risking OF life in
our city!

A CHILD OF THE DAY

No one, in the highest flight of
Imagination. could say Harold
Schwarm. the youth who has posed
as a person Of royal blood, is a typical
nevertheless an example Of one upon
whom repression has had its effect,
Granted that he needed TO be repress-
ed, If one will. Granted that he
should have been depressed even be-
fore he began his spectacular career.
Granted that II would have been much
better for this young man if he had
been taken in hand and forced to
obey rules as laid down by the most
conservative. This is quite beside the
point to be made. His escapadc, to
call it by no more serious Il name, is
but the magnificd escapade of many
others driven to doing the unconven-
tional because even the conventional
is, in many cases, denounced. This
mans mental balance, or the mental
state of others, does not affect this
truth.
Harold Sehwarm, the youth, is not
especially important. Harold Schwarm
as representing people in general, is
of great Importance. 1t is quite pos
sibe this young chap would have
broken out no matter how charitable
and broad minded were the people
about him. The weakness may be
fundamental. But it is possible, also.
that many people in the world would
never do questionable things were it
not for the tendency at present to put
innocent pleasures under the ban.
This is no plea to permit lowering
of the standards of life; it is no plea
of extending circumstances in cases
where people have done wrong. 1t is a
plea against denouncing generally
everything of which a small minority
may disapproNe. with the result that
the repressed energy, the love of ex-
element, of boys and girls. men and
women, might carry them farther
than they would go il the rope allow
ed them were not shortened so drasti-
cally
Right and wrong are said to be
absolute. fixed. But certain things
may be right" for certain people and
wrong for others, while other
things are wrong" for some and

freedom craved by the people, the
greater the care that should be exer-

more they should be encourag ed to
seek freedom. Today people are cry
