Annette Kellerman, the celebrated diving girl, says that swimming should be taught in the schools. She does not advocate this in order that people may be better able to save themselves and others from drowning but in order to give young people a better form. Swimming no doubt is a healthy exer- cise. It brings into play the arms and legs and the muscles of the back, and the exercise in the water is exhilirat- ing. Miss Kellerman, who is a noted living exponent of the benefit she .claims from the art of swimming, is not the only woman who has become well developed as a result of diving and swimming. As a general thing the swimming girls, and there are a number of them, are well formed and seem capable of great endurance in the water, some of them being able to swim for miles without being ex- hausted. Jt is, however, as a life saver that swimming has been generally advocat- ed, principally during the summer sea- son when there are so many lives lost by drowning. It has been proven on several occasions that a knowledge of swimming could have saved many young people, who had ventured out beyond their depth or had fallen out ot a boat, sometimes near shore and of- ten under such conditions that a little effort supplemented by a knowledge of swimming might have saved their Hves. There is no argument to be offered against this statement and it has been presented so often that it should bear fruit, if not in the nature of school instruction then by some method which would give the young folks an opportunity to acquire tho are of swimming. Now that an ap- peal has been made on the ground that ‘it will improve the form it is likely to obtain some new supporters. Beauty is desired even if an appeal for more serious reason fails. SHADE TREES. There seems to be a little dispute over the question of an appropriation of $1,600 for trees for the of public works. This is to provide about a hundred trees for the department and to meet the expense of spraying elm trees along the high- ways of the city. There also appears to be a question as to whether widen- ing sidewalks injures trees or not but it 18 a fact that many trees have died where there were no flag walks so that if there is anything to the conten- | tion that wide sidewalks has inter- fered with the trees it is far from be- ing the principal objection. New Britain used to be proud of its shade trees, they ornamented almost every street in the city and on many of the thoroughfares they formed an arch, not only giving beauty to the street but also protecting the macad- am. Trees had been dying in large numbers before the city took up the | matter for discussion and during the early days of donsolidation it planned to replace the trees that had been destroyed, in fact an aimmendment to the charter was adopted, making it compulsory on the board of public works to do so and it is to carry out that plan that the board is now asking for an appropriation. The state has planting trees it builds a new road and when it awavd- bonrd supposed was been wherever that out arrangcd be set consolidation it was seventy-five trees should on East street. It has been made a custom to have a new tree wherever another has been cut down and the plan is to be commended. Tt should be continued and every possi- ble effort made to restorc the beauty that once featured our highways and this can only be done plantin, trees and then sceing that they properly cared for. set by are COMMUNICATED.

Sditor Herald:— In last Friday night's issue “Herald” there appeared un item to the effect that I was again looking for the nomination of councilman [trom the third ward and was circu- lating a petition with that end in view.

Governor Holcomb has signed the Isbell civil service law and accepted responsibility for it.

Admission to the Bar. (Fitchburg Sentinel.) Quite a heated discussion is in progress in interested clrcles over the practical forms to be required for ad- ion to the practice of law in chusetts courts. A few weeks ago the state board of bar examiners gave a long and interested hearing to many lawyers who appeared to urge their views. Last week there was a hearing before the legislative committee on the judiciary on the same subject, There wre two sharply antagonistic views, with middle ground possible between them. The main question is whether any man should be admitted to the bar who does not have a college or university education. All the intensity of a law- yer's professional wviews has been shown by various individuals on this subject, while the generosity and char- ity with which most human beings must treat each other has been lack- ing. On that the side of the is, on the side of those who limit the profession to formally edu- cated men, there much to be said regarding the necessary high standing of the profession, the fact that it is much more than a means of a liveli- hood, that every 1 er Is a sworn of- ficer of the court, that there are lofty conditions to maintain and much more in that line. It is true that the people of the state cannot be too care ful about letting down the bars of in- competent and dishonest practitioners of the law. There is 50 much of a | disposition in the public mind to con- lawye with sharp practices, that no excuse should be given for any extension of the present suspicious at- titude. The profession whoso pur- pose is the promotion of justice he- | tween man and man ought to be above suspicion, either of ignorance fraud. On the other hand, it was a notice- able fact, at the first-named hearing, that Judge Wait of the superior court was one of the liberal men who op- posed the strict regulation which the college-standard men would impose. He was surprised by a large number | of young lawyers. ‘rhey made out a prima facie case which is well worth considering. There are many aspir- ing, hard-working, studious men, | every inch scholars, honorable and | high-minded, who, by reason of pov- | erty, are unable to get a college di- | ploma. But they become foa more competent students than many who go through college because their fathers put them through. They work by day -and evenings they study their books. They attend the classes of the Boston university or other law schools. They get a solid founda- tion in their profession. They study in law off and get practical work Just as thoroughly as the regular col- | lege zraduates. In fact, their col- ments prove that the college line is an arbitrary one to draw, while, as regards the (rue requirements of the profession and standards of efficiency and honor there are plenty of men outside of the college crowd who are more worthy t t inside the {line.

The toll of eighteen persons killed by automobiles in the streets of this city during the past month, published by Col, Cornell of the National High- ways Protective soclety, is twice that taken in February last year. The deaths by surface cars and wagons were less by half as compared with February, 1914, while the motor cars were doubling their ratio With the increase of automobiles and automobile trucks public senti- ment is growing stronger for a law requiring the tests of fitness and re- yocable permits for all drivers which the authorities of the rest of the east- ern states impose. Whoever guides a motor ' car through the crowded streets of this city, be he owner, driver, or borrower, must first be ex- amined and licensed if the bill to be introduced at Albany this week Is passed. It Is a bill to save life, Donkey Had Vote. (Tit Bits,) An old bachelor residing in Aber- deen named Sandy, who ecarned his livelihood by selling firewood, had a donkey and a cart that he went his rounds with, He therefore had to hire a small shed for a stable at a rental of four pounds, this entitling him to a vote, Hard times, however, began to tell the sale of his fire- wood; 80 much in fact, that he had to dispose of his donkey and give up the stable On the polling nigat he made his way to the place of .vot- ing with the intention of recording his vote as usual. The policeman in attendance told him his name was not on the electors' list that year, and at this Sandy flared up and angrily asked for explanation. The po- llcoman said: “Aweel, Sand) see, ve hinna got the donkey noo “Oh, ave, 1 see: it was the donkey that had the vote, an’ no’ me!” replied Sandy, earnestly.” Thought an Municipal Aid for Drug Victims, (New Lodon Day.) that its It is, probable numbers among smaller percentage than any other city of Connecticut which maintains so large a of intercourse with the outside world Yet the total number of persons ad- dicted to the use of narcotic drugs, cven in New London, unquestion- ably much larger than generally sup posed. There are scores of habitual drug users, if not hundreds, most of them unsuspected even by their ac- quaintances. In spite of the drastic against the indiscriminate drugs passed by the last legislature, it has not been a matter of extreme difficulty for these persons to obtain supplies.
