It Is far more than that, would i the idea were followed out to its log- inno- wold new lead, wnd numerous Whether or for fcal conclusion, to vations in our schools. not the schools are these changes, symbolized by the sug- gestion as to milk, is a matter too big to deeide off hand, The encon similar institutions is that they for good heaith, The greatest found with athleties the and colleges is that a greater major- ity does not in them. Primarily, and along the same line, the selling of milk and encouraging its use by students, is thought to be a plan to better the heatlh of the stu- dents. Of course it would do this. So the comparati new practice of having a physiclan in cha of the health of the children looks in only one direction. But the physician and the sugges- tion regarding milk, and the athletics, all raise the question as to how much concern the schools should take in the physical welfare of the boys and girls who attend them. The chief ohject of the school, of course, is to instruct the mind. It is quite proper that menal instruction should include the practical teaching of what is good for the body. There was a time when many parents made vielent objection against the teach- ing of psysiology in the schoolds. Old- fashioned folk insisted that boys and girls should not learn physical facts. That time, fortunately, has passed, or at least is passing. If it be admitted that it is proper to practice in school the multiplication table, something learned in school, why should it not be proper to practice following, in school, the teachings of the ways to obtain good health? Were this course to be followed to its extremes a ri- diculous situation would result, course. A pupil cannot practice, school, all of the things he learns in gchool. But where he learns, for in- stance, that milk is strength-giving, containing much more nourishment in a small quantity that some other foods in a great quantity, there is no reason why the drinking of milk #should not be adopted in schools, & practical illustration of the truth of a certain teaching. A pupil “proves” the answer he reaches to the mathe- | matical problem given him. Why not allow him to “prove” the answer to @ problem in physical matters as he might do by drinking milk to prove | its heneficial effects of which he has heard in school? This illustration is given merely to| indicate the new line of thought brought up by the suggestion of mak- | ing good milk available to school chil- | dren in the for nd greatest reason advanced aging athleties In schools ke B in schools participate y o of in TESTING THE LAW Of courge every lawyer understands what a “demurrer” wnd what the | statement means that the question of the constitutionality of the “time law” passed by the last legislature will be referred to the superior court on the demurrer to the complaint filed In plain language it means that the state filed a complaint against the| Hartford which stood out on the daylight saving time and so labelled | it.

Tt is easy to see how a man can claim to possess the power of hypnotism. ' But it is not easy to how a man can corroborate the con- fession of the slaygr and the state- ment that he was hypnotized to do it, by admitting that he exercised his power to make the confessed slayer kill his victim. Here 1s a problem in which would expect the person accused of possessing this power to disclaim the possession of the power to hypnotize. His confession involves him directly in the crime probably, if his claim to that power is recognized. Possibly he will Jose his own life if he establishes that he has that power. There are two possible explanations, neither of which would seem reason- able. The “hypnotist” might be willing to risk his own liberty by this confes- sion just to save the life of the actual slayer. Or the “hypnotist” may be so obsessed by his desire to establish the possession of that power that he is wiling to make this confession in order that his possssion of the power may be recognized. Many scientists have given their lives in work that would benefit man- kind. Study experiments in X-ray have brought ultimate death. Quite possibly there will be a scientist who will deliberately jeopardize his own life in order to convince the world that hypnotism is a real in- fluence in the world. of understand one and BUSY FRANCE One of the things—perhaps the big- gest thing—of which we boast gently here in New Britain is that everybody works, and that “father,” despite the immortal song to the con- trary.

MGVE TOWARD REDUCTION WANT ONLY FACTS American Cotton Assoclation Objects To Methods of Acreage Listimates Columbia, §. C., Oct. 17.—Opposi- tion to the department of agriculture's method of estimating acreages to be planted in cotton, as based on reports of “intentions” of farmers, was ex- pressed by the American Cotton as- sociation in a resolution adopted at its annual convention yesterday, urging the department “to stick to facts.” “We feel that the cotton acreage is a matter of too significant and serious concern to the growers and the cot- ton trade generally,” the resolution said, “for estimates on acreage plant- ed to he hazarded by guess work," The resolution urged that congress pass legislation and provide funds to enable the department of commerce to take an accurate census each year of the cotton acrcage planted, on re- turns to be accurately made by every grower.
