NORMAL SCHOOL OPENS

Whether they realize it or not most of the people of this city are concern ed with the opening of the State Normal School year today. Those young women who are attending the school are, of course the ones whose interest is immediate. They are the ones who will appreciate the obliga- ton they are assuming when they go to this school if they are the right sort of girls. And the interest of other peo- pie of this city, parents and men and women who will become parents, lies in just this-that the young women now studying at the Normal shall come out, prepared to teach the chill dren in the right way, the broad way --the way that is inspired by fine appreciation of the responsibility they will have
 To those young women. planning a teachers career, will come the thought If they arc sincere in their ambitions that the future careers of many children will depend upon the instruc- ton they receive to great extent. In rare cases pupils rise above their teachers while the former are still very young. But in the vast majority of cases the pupils imbibe their ideals, their sentiments. their outlook upon lire and their attitude toward it from their teachers, as those teachers. while themselves students at the Normal. >~s influenced by their instructors.

DISASTER BROUGHT HOME

There are people who are neepl' thoughtful. The smallest incident impress them. They wonder why certain person frowned as he passed the time Of day: they wonder wh! this and that Is so. They look abou them to sec if they can learn some thing from the actions and attitudes taken by others. They want to get al the information they can. not out oi curiosity. but rather to sec If they ma, profit by study of cause and effect by the experiences of others.
 There are others upon whom even great disasters which do not affect them personally make little impress sion. Most of us are like that A great catastrophe is heard of in some far distant place; 1t is commented upon conventionally and then prac- tically forgotten. It does not come home to such people: 1t does not make them think.
 All the world has. spoken it's word concerning the tragedy in Japan and nations have shown their willingness to help the sufferers. But individuals, for the most part, have allowed it to pass from their minds as another of the terrible things that have hap pened with which they, individually, have little to do and of which it profits them little to think. :.
 But the disaster is now brought close home to many people in this part of the country. man formerly of Waterbury, who had reached the hon. ored post of consul in Shanghai and who was acting consul general, is re- ported to have been killed. He was known in Waterbury and New Haven, where he won athletic honors at Yale. He was once one of our people. There may come a contradiction of the sad report that he and his wife were vic- tims of the tragedy. Sincere is the hope that such contradiction will come. But the report, at any rate, does bring the disaster home to us, impresses us forcibly and leads to a train of thought which makes the catastrophe very real. We see men on our streets whom we know well. They might have been in this disaster. We, ourselves, might have been called to that country for some reason. We might have been killed, or we might have been in other tragedies. Some horror such as this might come to us right here in this city.
 There is no wisdom in carrying the suggestion into the realms of the morbid. Of course we know there is danger for us always. But the whole matter emphasizes the one thought that we who are we'll and free today from tragedy of any kind should ap- preciate that fact. Such thought makes our work. easier, our willing ness to serve greater and gives each of us higher appreciation of the good things we have, the comparatively comfortable conditions in which we live. And that thought is worth while.

 Dorothy Garfield occupies so high & place among the women writers in America at the present time that it wasN possible for her to try an eX- pertinent which would have been foolhardy of one of lesser note.

ITALY AND THE LEAGUE

Comment is made that the fate of
 the League of Nations and possibly
 the peace of Europe rests in the hands
 Of Premier Mussolini, of Italy.
 With all due respect for the person
 who so comments, one may take the
 liberty of differing from him and stat
 ing that quite possibly the fate of
 Italy and the peace of Europe rests in the hands of the League. The un-
 certain way in which Greeces appeal to the League was made and the later
 action of Greece in suggesting that
 settlement might be made without de-
 cision of the League throws a cloud over the situation through which it is not easy. at this time, to see the truth.
 Italy signed the League covenant as it was. Italy thereby pledged herself not to withdraw from the League without two years notice. Italy promised, by such signing of the covenent that it subscribed to the terms which provided that in case of any dispute which might lead to rupture between members of the League she would submit the question either to arbitration or to inquiry by the Council of the League. and that she would not resort to war until three months after the award by the arbitrators or the report by the Coun- cil had been made.
 If Greece presses her case for con- sideration by the League or arbitraT tors, and if Greece does not waive any of her League rights by making offer of settlement regardless of the League that organization is bound to take notice of the situation and Italy is bound to honor by a solemn interna- tional agreement from which she can not withdraw because of any far fetched interpretation excepting this situation from those covered by the provisions in the League covenant.
 If, under these conditions Italy | should withdraw from the League she | would stamp herself an outlaw na- tion of Europe. Quite possibly Mus solini, whose success has been pro- nounced and who, on most matters has seemed to assume strong stand with some basis, feels that his per- sonal power is so great he may speak i for Italy and act for Italy without | rislling the loss of such strength and | prestige. But the present indications are that he will think again before he | runs this risk, head of an emotional | nation as he is. With conditions in Europe as they are it is to be doubted | that even Mussolini will dare press on in this stand, and it is equally | doubtful if Greece, if she is convinced | that he would do so, would allow the | matter to come to this pass. Greece, even with the feeling that she would be morally right in insisting upon the of the matter to the | League. is too eager to avoid war to force Mussolini's hand, and the latter would hesitate before refusing to discard" something where an ada mant stand by him would make Italy break her solemn pledge.
