EDUGATION IS UP T0 STUDENT, HADLEY SAYS College Is Simply What People Make It, According to Former Yale Head ' New Haven, March 8.—Dr. Arthur T. Hadley, president emeritus of Yale in a lecture in Battell chapel today on “the true purpose and value of a college education,” says “that the college course is not what the grad- uates or professors make it, but what the students make it.” The lectuge was a required one for freshmen, “The distinctive purpose of the American college has been training of citizens for the exercise of civil lib- erty,” he said. “BEvery man has two sets of duties to soclety; his private duties as an honest and efficiént businessman and his public duties as a member of a self-governing commonweaith. Ior| the former he requires the college education. If the latter, he reqyires liberal education. Up to a certain point the two go together. According to the relative value which a nation sets on technical ef-| ficiency and on ecivil liberty its uni- versities will be groups of professio: al schools like those of Germany, or groups of colleges like those of Eng- land. The German boy goes directly from the tutelage of the high school to the freedom of the professional school; the English or American boy goes from school to college where he can continue school studies in university atmosphere and be grad- | ually trained for the exercise of civil liberty—a liberal education in the original and true sense of the word, | “It does not make nearly so much | difference with the training for eciti- | zenship what subjects are taught, in the curriculum as how they are taught, “After all has been done that grad- uates and faculty can do, the main responsibility for their own education rests upon ‘the students. You cannot train a man for fiberty by keeping him in ledding strings. The college course is not what the graduates or the professor make it, but what the students make it, and what the stu. bill will probably eliminate Mr. Hub- bard as a trustee of the Cheshire re- formatory as he is on the board of finance. The proposal of the 1921 session for a constitutional amendment to extend the service of judges from 70 years to 75 years of age, was rejected by ‘the house on an unfavorable report. This ended the matter, the proposed change having been offered by Mr. Perry, of New Haven in that body. T'he title of the amendment was to extend the age limit of retirement of judges Trolley Bills Killed The Madigan five cent tare trolley bills to apply to Stamford, and those of Representative Hyland, of Enfield. to eliminate one-man trolley cars in his town, had no better fate in the house than similar bills by Senator McGrath in the senate on Tuesday be- cause they went into the discard with no debate although Mr, Guilford, of trolley hill sent back to the committec for a rehearing. He referred to con- tinuance of fatal accidents in Water- bury, and said city officials were unanimously against the one-man trolley. House Chairman Dunham of the committee said objections to this type of trolley came only from Waterbruy, Enfield, and Stamford. The bills were rejected on a viva voce vote.

Danbury, March 8.—When neigh- bors entered the home of Mrs. Nancy Cooper on Tamarack street before noon today after becoming anxious at the apparently prolonged absence of members of the house- hold they found Mr. Cooper dead on the floor of the Kkitchen and her daughter, Mrs. Anna H. Deyo, un- conscious in a bedroom upstairs. The house was filled with fumes from a gas stove in the Kitchen, Nothing had been seen of the women since Tuesday. It is believed that Mrs, Cooper went to the kitchen Tuesday night and became ill after turning the gas on, preparatory to lighting it, and was suffocated. Deyo was overcome while she slept. Her condition is critical. Mrs., Cooper was 80 years old and Mrs, Deyo, 60. NEW FOX TROT RECORD Scotland Goes Wild Over This Dance Minutes Witheut Stopping.
