Rev. James R. Keane, O. s. M., founder and director of che Per- petual Noven in Honor of Our Sor- rowful Mother, will be rendered an award of merit with honorary mem- bership in Phi Kappa at the fra trenity's golden jubilee convention Chicago, August 24, 8, 28 because of Father Keane's outstanding work in the field of Catholic Action, 1t was announced today by officers of Phi Kappa.

boat capsized were two local men, James Crean, of 2 Plaza avenue, who suffered sprained shoulder when he was thrown from the boat, and Edward F. Moran of 497 Highland avenue. They may be called as witt nesseS.
 After the rescue, Captain Doolit- tie said he attributed the capsizing of the cruiser to the fact that there were too many people on top of the cabin. Moran disputed this, saying there were at no time more than three couples there, which was the number the captain had told them could be safely carried.
 Other passengers charged that the captain was negligent, and did no. thing to help them after the boat overturned Miss Eleanor Anderson of Leete's Island said she felt the boat was overcrowded, while Philip Crowell of Madison. another passen- ger, asserted that Doolittle grabbed the first life preserver he found for himself. Others of the passengers have defended the captain against these accusations. If the investigat- ing board in Its investigation finds Doolittle guilty of negligence, he will probably lose his license to op- crate the vessel. Final decision rests with the Commander of the Bureau.

NEW CURRICULUM
 BEING DRAWN UP
President of Four Teach- CTS Colleges Working
 Out Program

The presidents of four Connecticut State Teachers Colleges announced today that the administrative off, cers and faculties of the four col- 1eges, conforming to the policy adopted by the State Board of Edu- cation on June ', are proceeding to reorgarize the curricular program, to adjust the professoorial staff, and to admit students on slightly dif- ferent basis for the coming year. Consistent with the policy of the board, the colleges will attempt to work out program which will be primarily for the purpose of supply ing the state with an adequate num- Der of thoroughly trained teachers ard, at the same time, to utilize the colleges to serve the wider needs in this state.
 The faculty committees have been appointed for the purpose of reor- ganizing the curricular program, which will provide for general edu- cation for the first two years. Cur ricular offerings for this period, therefore, will serve not only as 8 basis from which to build the pro- fessional teacher education program during the upper two years but will, at the same time, give liberal edu- cation which may be transferable to other colleges; thus, students who wish to take two-year program in the teachers colleges and then trans- fer to other institutions may be able to do so. Those who meet the rigid scholastic and personal requirements ard so desire will remain in the teachers college for the upper two years of professional teacher educa- ton.
 Although careful selective ad- mission program will contnue, the final selection of candidates for teaching will not be made until the end of the second year. Students entering the college this fall are &C., ccpted on 8 probationary period, and final selection for the teachre- train ing program will be made at that time. The following committee chairmen have been selected to re- examine and reorganize the curric- ular program:
 History Professor Pauline Schwartz, New Haven State Teach CTS College.
 Literature = Professor Catherine Keeler, Willimantic.
 Supervisor of Music Mrs. Ruth P. deVillafrance, Danbury.
 Science-Professo Beulah R. Con- over, Danbury.
 Training Schools - Director Will Ham P. Dyer, New Britain.
 English and Speech - Professor Herbert E. Fowler, New Britain.
 Foreign Language-MisS Alice B. Thompson, New Haven.
 Mathematics-Kenneth G. Fuller, New Britain.
 Health and Physical Education - Professor Catherine E. Colton, New Britain.
 Philosophy-Professor R. L. Wam- pier, New Britain.
 Arts and Crafts Professor Nor- ma E. Cutts, New Haven.
 Industrial Arts - Professor Ray mond w. Phipps, New Britain.

 Causes No Damage

More than an inch of rain fell during a terrific thunderstorm that swept the city late last night and early this morning. The storm, though one of the most severe of the year, did not cause any serious damage.
 Electric power in some sections was cut of in some sections of the city, as vivid flashes of lightning swept the sky. Service in some areas was not restored until this morning. The telephone company reported little damage resulting from the storm.
 The rain poured down in torrents, accompanied by streaks of lightning and roaring peals of thunder,

The death Of George Yarnell takes
another friend. The fact he had
been a soldier-and that much of
his service was with men from Bris-
tol township made us always an in
tent listener when he told of his
army life.
Yes, we called on Vic right when
he was in the midst of writing the
doings of inhabitants of his area. tf
everyone connected with newspa,
pers were as careful as Vic, there
would be few, if any, mistakes. We
are sure glad to see him coming
back to normal.
We note the death of Galley Lo-
gan of GAINESVILLE. If we mistake
not he was Bristol born. AT any
rate his parents, James and Mar
garet Logan were Bristol residents.
and at one time owned and conduct
ed the Rowland store.
VIM Yauger is on the sick list.
His sister, Mrs. Biantha Baker, who
has been with daughter and son-in-

ating from a serious illness, accom-
panied by her daughter, came Fri
day evening to look after him.
