Mindful of the loss to the state of Connecticut by the death of Dr. George H. Knight who succeeded his father n the conduct of the Lakeville school for imbeciles, Mrs. Is: Barrows writes to the Water American of the need for Connecticut a state institution to and carry on the work which is so im- portant in eve: commonwealth. Through her work in connection with such institutions Mrs. Barrows knows whereof she speaks and it concerns a matter of which the state is cogz- nizant. The doctors Knight to whom state entrusted their patients done a magnificent work at Lakeville and it will not be allowed to lag. The need of it is apparent and it deals with a class which it is best that the :state should look after and provide the proper management for, The proper care of this unfortunate class is rec- ognized as of the utmost importance and 1t is at such places that they can get it. An institution of the kind at Lakeville is also the best means for placing a check upon the increase of such a class when provision is made for their care not only during child- cod but for much longer periods of This is a question with which ¢ state must deal to accomplish the results, €ommitment to such an titution means the obtaining of ev- #ry benefit possible to the imbecile and it 1s also for the benefit of the future, LIFTING THE LITIGANT'S BURDEN With the improvement which has been made by the supreme court of the United States in regard to equity procedure a step in the right direc- tlon which cannot help but meet. pub- lic approval has been made. It is in the interest of the rights and the pock- etbooks of those affected, by overcom- ing delay and expense to a large ex- tent. It is a step which was long heeded, in line with the recommenda- tions of the president, who ha manifested the deepest intere: ters concerning the courts, a direction | in which he is particularly qualified to offer suggestions. It is therefore with his usual inter- est at bettering conditions that he sug- gests to congress that tr supreme court should he entrusted with insti- tuting some beneficial reforms in com- mon law procedure, and the authority to do such is within the power of cengress to give| In recommending It to congress to give the supreme court the “power to frame a model code of procedure, which v that is valuab rights and remedies at common law | and ecui he believes that it willl “lessen to a minimum the burden of the peor zant, in the expedition | end cheapness with which his causa can be fought and.defended through federal courts to final judgment.” " Experience at law will demonstrate | the’ justification for any legisiation | which will serve to lessen the burden of the litigants, It js a4 matter in which all irrespective. of party are in’- terested and to which due consider: tlon should be given. the have erving all ry of thn; NECESSITY OF SANITATION.

One accomplishment after an- other in the establishment of records for speed or altitude shows that the science of navigating the air is grad- ually being worked out though there are many difficulties yet to be over- come. With all the many attainments it has its great dangers, failure of en- gines or operating machinery to work being assured of one result—death. It has a large and open field for opera- tion, but there are records of collisions in the air as well a1 on the earth with the same consequences. Aviation is destined to play an im- portant part in war, but its use in the recent Balkan trouble demonstrat- ed the fact that such is fraught with grave danger. The aviator at an alti- tude of 4,000 feet was a target for the Turkish sharpshooters and regard- less of the fact that he was an expert at his business was picked off by the enemy though able to direct his ma- chine back to the Bulgarian lines. It is only distance therefore which lends securiffy and as on land there are at- tending dangers which makes it ap- parent that this means of locometion, for diversion, travel or spying needs the introduction of a greater degree of safety. WORKMEN’S COMPENSATI@N. Throughout the country and in fact in congress much interest is manifest- ed in measures which concern the workmen's compensation. Sixteen tates have enacted laws upon this ubject and Connecticut it is expected will at the coming session of the gen- eral assembly. For the purpose of broadening the scope of the federal act to make it better amendments are before congress. It is claimed that money paid under the act from August 1, 1908 when the act went into effect amounts to over a million dollars. In this con- nection the sclicitor general says: “The prompt payment of compensa- tion at a time when the bread winner is stricken and money is most need- ed, without forcing the claimant to pursue an elaborate, expensive and dil- atory process of proof, is one of tha striking benefifs of the act. Being in i nature a remedial statute, it is rightly susceptible of a liberal inter- pretation, in order to bring home the benefits intended. Such has been the interpretation regularly applied by the secretary of commerce and labor, with- out, of course, disregarding any of the limitations of the statute, or extend- ing it beyond {ts terms.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

New Haven, Dec, 12,—With the round of mid-year examinations in full prog- ress this week, the lights of the col- lege dormitories have burned late, chapel pews have been left half vacant, and the library has been the attraction for scores who apparently visit it at no other time. But it is the last time that the days just before the holidays will be laden with “cramming,” and next vear the recitations and lectures will close uniformly, the students will depart joyfully for their homes, and, as in almost every other college in the country, come back and take the “mid-year’'s” three or four weeks after New Year's. Scholastically, of course, the greatest advantage will be in that both the mid- vear and the final examination in June will be based upon an equal amount of work, and thereby do away with the present inequality, where the final examination covers nearly two-thirds of the year's work. Socially, the 'rearrangement of the year will provide a fitting place for the prom. week activities immediately after the mind has been freed of the strain of examinations. The thought during the holidays of impending dis- aster will probably be easily offset hy the contentment and joyfulness with which the 1200 or 1,400 men of the college will, in a body, get away to the far and near parts of the country. Yale chapter of the Beta Kappa has gone up in its requirements. lLast year the requirement of a stand of 3.25 for the first two years of the course and 3.50 the second year was changed to 3.30 for any two consecutive years. Then the howl arose, in some quar- ters, that the bars had been lowered. This week they were shoved up again, and to the ambitious student who de- sires to make Yale's oldest and in seme important ways the most distin- guished society, only one way of doing so is left open, that of keeping h'z work up to 3.30 for two consecutive vears, The senior year privilege, by reasen of which many a man has made a stand and won his key, among the most quoted example being that of John Kilpatrick, the football man and athlete, has been abolished. The origin of the 3.50 rule was for the benefit of the large number of men who came to Yale for the senior year alone from colleges which then had no chapter of | Phi Beta Kappa. This gave them a chance to get their key. But the num- ber of these men who have not had a previous chance is now almost nil, and the rule has therefore been en up. On the other hand, it will now exclude Yale men who have elected easy courges and few hours for their senior vear, with a view to scholarship dis- tinetion, For the Rhodes scholarship from Connecticut, George Van Santroora of Troy, N. Y., Yale 1912, was chosen by ! the committee meeting in New Haven last week. He had distinguished him- self at Hotchkiss and at Yale in clas: ical scholarship, and at Oxford he will study English. Among the eight elections announced by the university society of Alpha Chi Rho is Max Henry Foley of Norwich, Conn. The physical statistics of the class of 1916, made by Dr. Frank T. Born of the Yale gymnasium, shows that the present freshman class is older than was any other recent class when it entered college, The average zge of 1916 is 19 vears 1 month, that of 1815 was 19, of 1914, 1915 and 1913, 18 years 11 menths. The physical superiority of the men from the private preparatory schools over those from the high schcols is the most noticeable point about the sta- tistics, and in questioning high school men the ‘conclusion arrived at at the gymnasium several years ago was cor- roborated, that in many high schools the facilities for physical development are inadequate, and in some entirely reglected, During his years in college the strength and health of the student| is found almost invariably to.increase. The figures for the measurements of 1916 and 1915 are intersting: 1916— age, 19 years 1 month; height, 5 feet 81-2 inches; weight, 140.8; breadth of shoulders, 158; -chest normal,” 35.5; right thigh, 2; right calf, 13.7; right biceps, 11.9; right forearm,10; strength right forearm, 103; left forearm, 92; lung capacity, 260; strength back, 230 pounds; strength of legs, 395 pounds; pull-ups, 6; push-ups, 5; total strength, 987.8. 1915—Age, 19; height, 5 feet 84-5| inches; weight, 142.2; breadth shoul-| ders, 15.9; chest normal, 35.5; right, thigh, 21; right calf, 13.7; right biceps, 11.9; right forearm, 10.1; lung capacity, 264; strength rvight forearm, 95; | strength left forearm, 90; strength of: back, 242 pounds; strength of legs, 400 pounds; pull-ups, 5; push-ups, 4; total strength, 968, The three strongest men in the class| were E.
