Approval of Governor Cross inaugural address was quite general among the Connec ticut delegation at Washington. Representa- tive Schuyler Merritt, republican, of Stam ford who ends long legislative career in March remarked that. Il think that it was a very interesting and human docket. I ap- prove it in general, especially the reference to the appointment of minor judges, It has always been my opinion that judges should be appointed and not elected The appoint ment of judges relieves them of popular ap peal and of any political claim which may arise from popular election. - In sup porting this feature of the governor S message Representative Merritt stands behind pro- posal of the Connecticut Judicial Council It looks as if Governor Cross had considered their recommendations quite seriously. As to the chances of taking the appointment of minor court judges away from the legislature and giving it to the governor that's another story. It may be approved by the legislature. but un- less there is change in opinion from that registered two years ago the legislature will vote down any such measure to change the law. It should be done, though

PESTALOZZI'S BIRTH

On January 12, 1746, Johann Pestalozzi, a Swiss educational re- former and the chief founder of modern pedagogy, was born at Zurich.
 He first became interested in the problems of education at the Uni versity of Zurich. When he mar ried few years later, and settled down on his 100-acre estate, he de- cided to study the child problem at first hand by turning his farm into an asylum for the industrial educa- tion of the young. The venture proved failure.
 After a period of IS years of financial distress and correspond ing period of great literary activi- ty, he founded, with governmental support, a school for poor children at Stang. Later he conducted schools in other cities.
 The idea which lay at the basis of his method of intellectual in struction was that everything should. be treated in concrete way. Almost all Pestalozzi's methods are now adopted in the elementary schools of Europe and America.

to Mayor Ashley, the Standard says:
 During the forty years covered by MT. Ashley's political career we have had other maors. On several occa- sions he has stepped aside and twice he has been defeated at the polls. Yet after brief trials of other chief executives. the people dhave turne again to Ashley. This is at once g. tribute to his talent for municipal government and to the peoples good sense in keeping on the job a man who has done mighty well at it.
 Mayor Ashley is to be, ,congratulat- ed upon this evidence of the man. ner in which the confidence of his community is reposed in him. New Bedford is to be congratulated upon having a citizen whom it can keep in office practically all the time with such obvious satisfaction to itself.

AURORA LESS
THAN 100 MILES
FROM GROUND
Northern Lights Proved Far
Closer to Earth Than
Had Been Believed.

81 science service
TORONTO, May 22.-The aurora
borealis, least understood Of heaven
" phenomena, is not as distant from
the earth as has been thought. Fifty
to seventy-five miles from the
ground is the height fixed for the
eerie flashes of light in a report
made to the Royal Society of Can
ada Thursday by Professor j. G.
McLennan, DR.. Hugh Wynne-Rob-
ertS and DR.. H j. G. Ireton Of the
physics department of the Univer-
sity Of Toronto.
Utilizing the fact that the north
ern lights are visible farther south
in eastern Canada than anywhere
else in the northern hemisphere,
the physicists photographed displays
last January and February.
They set up two observing sta
tons near James bay. One was To-
Gated at Blacksmith Rapids, fifty
miles from Moose Factory, and the
other at Coral Rapids, thirty miles
farther south.

telephone lines and each was pro-
vided with cameras similar to those
used in aerial surveying.
When the aurora was visible from
both stations, the photographers To-
cused their cameras on areas of the
sky selected by telephone, and took
simultaneous pictures. The exact
times were compared by telephone
and checked against a master clock.
Reference points in the heavens
were provided by the stars, photo
graphed on the plates at the same
time. When the plates were de-
veloped and compared, the triangu-
lation method used in surveying was
employed, the physicists computing
vertical triangle with one side as
the line joining the two observing
stations.
The results show that the auroral
flashes occasionally may lie 155
miles over the earth. Less than
100 miles is the usual height, how
ever.
