UPHOLD RENO DIVORCE
Six Months Residence Clause Legal Mrs. Emma Confer Falls To Have Divorce Set Aside.

Reno, Nov. 2?,--District Judge George A. Bartlett has upheld the constitutionality of Nevada's law re- Quiring a six months residence in the state before suit for divorce may be filed In a decision handed down yesterday
 The decision which allayed fears of thousands of divorced couples that their separations might be de- clared Illegal. was rendered In deny ing the request of EmNa E, Confer of Pennsylvania that the divorce granted her husband be set aside on the grounds of fraudulent residence.
 Mrs. Confer alleged that her for mer husband had not established his six months residence in Nevada In good faith and immediately after securing his decree he left the state and returned to his Pennsylvania home.
 This Mrs, Confer contended, was evidence of fraud.
 Judge Bartlett held that the law was satisfied with actual physical presence within the state for the re- quired period" The fact that per- sons who have secured divorces here remove to other places at the con- clusion of the controversy ia not slf- ficient of itself to warrant setting aside the decree" the jurist stated.

 Other recommendations of the committee on education include sup- port Of the Sterling Reed bill to es- tablish a federal department of edu- cation, and advocacy of increased federal appropriations for education.

CLAIMS FLAWS DON'T
 AID TEMPERANCE
British Secretary Says They
 Can't Solve Social Problems

London, Nov. 22.-Prohibition of the manufacture and sale Of alco- holic liquors will not promote tenn perance, and social problems are not solved by drastic measures which destroy the freedom and real tenn perance of the majority of the peo- pie" This was the declaration of Meutenant-Colonel L. C. Amery, new secretary for the colonies. in a speech at Birmingham yesterday. outlining the attitude Of ths eonser. vatlve administration toward certain licensing problems.
 The government and the conserva- tive party of Great Britain, he said, are not in favor of prohibition and they are convinced in their attitude by the experience of the United States.
 During the life of the present gov ernment, he continued, the question of the very heavy burdens of taxa ton which the licensing trade had to administer would call for the most serious consideration Of the chan cellor Of the exchequer. The govern ment felt that they could not deal with social problems in crude and rudimentary fashion, which some people advocated by sweeping the trade away altogether, or through harassing the members of the trade.
 The experience of the United States had shown them that, even if they could rise to the pitch Of a ma tional decree aboIishing the produce ton of alcoholic liquors, they did not promote real temperance or sp- proach any nearer to the solution Of their problems.
 The colonial secretary asserted that his party was opposed to the drastic measure of destroying the freedom and real temperance of the majority of the people of Great Brit ain as a whole, or of deprivlng them Of it in a selected place. The real solution of the temperance question lay in the school and home training, in self restraint, and in the mem beIs of the liquor trade improving the social standard of their houses.

White speaks of Dormitories.

Marcus White, principal Of the New Britain Normal school, spoke of the new building in general, saying that only half Of the project has been completed. He explained that the state originally bought the land in the quarter where 1t was suitable for dormitories for the young wom- en attending the school and that the sleeplng quarters would come later
 He assigned three reasons for the fact that dormitories are needed. First, from a standpoint of health; second, from standpoint Of eocial graCes which teachers must hare, and third, from a standpoint of the lightest possible expense,
 He told Of the expenses incurred by young women who have to secure boarding places about the city and of the many inconvenience exper- fenced by those who commute from their homes to the school.

HOLD DEDICATION
 AT NORMAL SCHOOL
Dr. Windship, Noted Educator, Principal Speaker at Exercises

"The normal school is no longer a place for the preparation Of teach CTS, IL Is now a place for the prep araton of people to bring up chill dren, both in school and out" said Dr. Albert E, Winship Of Boston, Mass, editor of the Journal of Ed uca;ion, in an address yesterday aft ernoon at the formal opening Of the new state normal school in this city.
 Dr, WinShlp's talk was an inter- esting one, He has trayeled the Unit ed states from one end 10 the other In the interests Of education and is thoroughly familiar with conditions all over the country, He told some thing of his travels and of the infor- nation he had secured from them.
 He said, in beginning, that he had come to New Britain because, for 60 years, he had been widely enthu- siastic about the normal school here. New Britain had the first normal school with a new vision" he ex- blaming that Bridgewater Mass, had the first normal school in the country so far as class room purpose was concerned.
 He talked of the great progress which is being made in all parts of the country, dwelling for some time upon the achievements of Chicago and the plans for the future.
 Must Be In Game.
 We must be in the game every minute" he stated. 'The world will so on whether we do or not Our game is to educate our people little better than others are doing it."
 He was Of the opinion that New England Is behind other states in many ways regarding education, tell ing Of what North Carolina is doing school wise and explaining the ad- dition Of new departments Tn Los Angeles high school. q like to come home every so often just to cool off, was the remark Of the speaker after he had finished talking Of the hustle in other parts Of the country, with regard to progress.
 He then went on to tell of the dif- ference between education and scholarship. Education, he said, is learning 10 learn, and scholarship it learning what someone else has learned, He explained this defni- ton at length, comparing education to timber and scholarship to lumber.
 Timber is alive" he asserted. Lumber was alive, You can make lumber out Of timber, but lumber will never make timber. We are preparing boys and girls to achieve things for themselves"
 He said that scholarship is the foundTeion upon which education is built. A foundation upon which nothing is built is a tragedy any, where. In conclusion, he said that the country is living in an age of education.
 He dwelt great deal upon the fact that the normal schools are pre- pairing people to take care Of chill drcn. He said that the only money the state is spending for the bring ing up Of children is for these sChOOlS
