The destruction by fire of a dormi- torv at the Comnecticut Agricuitural college calls attention to the necessity of giving proper consideration to the matter of fireproof conmstruction auch institutional buildings. The bulld- ing was not a new one, having been erected nearly a quarter of a cenlm’yl ago when fireproof cemstruction was given less attention than today, but the wisdom of guarding against sueh loss, even theugh insured, and keep- ing the fire menace at the minimum is apparent. Not only was the der- mitory burnable, but while afire it most seriously threatened the main building which was erected along similar lines. Fortunate circumstances aided mate- rially in keeping the flames from doing much greater havoe at the state col- lege. While the burning of the bullding will mean a regrettable loss to the institution it will give the opportunity for increasing the fireproof structures at Storrs when the time comes for re- placing it. Additional funds may be required, but no other method should be thought of when new plans are con- sidered. Consideration must be given to the lacation, the lives which may he threatened, property loss and the important matter of prevention. Noth- ing serves to meet all these important considerations like fireproof construc- tion. It not only gives a permanency to the buildings, but it contributes that element of safety both within and without which is o greatly desired. The Institution is a fixture and the builétngs should be. PROFIT SHARING. There have been many excellent examples of profit sharing and reward- ing of faithful service by manufactur- ing concerns in the present and in the past, but nothing quite equals the elaborate and extensive plans which have been announced by Henry Ford of automobile fame, when it is planned to distribute about half the earnings of the company among the employes during the ensuing vear. This means that there will be one of the greatest efforts ever made for cooperative ef- fort between emplover and employe, In which the greatest cause for rejoicing lies in the fact that The ten million which It is expected will be distributed will be received through fincreased pay. npt a male emplove receiving less than“five doi- lars a day, and the reduction in the houre of labor. Such an effert should result {n the establishment of ideal re- lations between the capital and labor there interested. This great plan of profit sharing is Eoing to be watched with a great deal | of interest. It is made possible by the great growth of the concern and is based upon the expectations that it will continue to be favored with at Jeast as large a volume of business as in the past. It is a step which calls for deserving praise and It i3 to be hoped that nothing will prevent the carrying out of all the details of the plan. It is an instance where other concerns might 1ike to do likewise, but | lack the wherewith. However, having the wealth and the inclination it is to the credit of the company that this ae- tion is to be taken. SIR LIONEL CARDEN. The change of the minister to Mex- ico from Great Britain, Sir Lionel Carden, to a pest In Brazil may he in the nature of a promotion to this offi- cial, but it creates a vacancy which is not likely to be filled by an ap- pointee of the same stamp as Minister Carden. It is from the attitude which he has maintained relative to the pol- icy of this ceuntry in Mexico that his promotion is evidently due. His early declarations and criticisms of the position taken by this country cre- ated the semblance of sympaihy with Huerta’s cause by Great Britain which was unwarrented, This undiplomatic procedure crested en awkward situa- tion, It breught fosth disavowals and denials and brought te a shdden stop such talk, whatever the purpose of it may have been, ? Now that the affair has passed over his government changes his post. It isn’t to be suppesed that it is hecause of his excellent diplematic service in ‘Mexico that he is selecied for a high- er place. If he has been so valuabie there he would naturally he retained.

GREATER RESPONSIBILITY. ‘Within a brief perfod three people haye been killed in citles of this state ‘while automobiles were passing elec- tric cars which were stopped for the convenience of patrons. These are not the only instances of deaths from auto accidents, but they are cases which In- dicate too plainly the absence of a proper regard and respect for human life. In none of these cases were the speed, but they insisted upon proceed- ing where other vehicle travel would have stopped and avoided the people who were struck. Such instances re- veal the responsibility which every driver of an automobile must assume even though he may be within the letter of the law. The large number of deaths from auto accidents send up an emphatic demand for it. It is im- portant that the public should be rec- zed as to their existing rights and ileges. There has been much au- tomobile legislation but indications point to more before there will be less, In holding a Bridgeport chauffeur criminally responsible for the death of a child although giving him credit for handling his machine skillfully and efficiently the coroner holds that “com- mon prodence should have forbidden him to drive his machine towards an | important street crossing where much | pedestrian travel might he expected during the Christmas season at a speed of eight miles an hour.” It is this demand that greater re-| sponsibility be realized by the drivers | of motor cars which must be met if accidents and fatalities are going to diminish instead of increase. PAY TEACHERS TO ABROAD. the opinfon the Boston STUDY According to B. Snow of High school cities should | leave with half pay to modern language teachers who will go to the expense of study abroad. On the whole Dr. Snow thinks madern language instruction in our best schools is as good as that abroad in propor- tion to the time allowed, but in his| opinion “we need more good teachers | and an opportunity for selected pu- pils to begin the study of a foreign language under competent Instruction in the grades and the colleges should give special attention to preparin; teachers of modern languages. The position which is taken by Dr. Snow {s one which considers solel modern language instruction and it is' doubiless irue as he states that all| methods have some good features and ! that nearly everything depends upon the teacher. The worst of a dozen, methods employed by a strong teacher with underlying purpose well in mind, will give a more valuable training and better results than any method when employed by an inferior teacher, If progress in all lines of educa- tional effort had reached the stage where a city could devote 'greater at- tention to modern language study his proposition s unquestionably one | which should receive deep consider- | ation, but until a better standard can be shown by the schools throughout | the country and a larger number of | the more efficient teachers obtained | for the teaching of the fundamentals | of education, it is not likely that the: funds of a city or town will be devoted | in that direction. There is certainly | plenty of opportunity for greater out- | lay in common schools first. of W.

It would be spiting and getting even with the owner. The boat was shoved off and the girl entered it. She knew nothing of row- ing. She had mever even entered a skiff before. The tide was rumning out, and running strong at that, and presently she found. herself out in the bay and being hurried toward an is- land a mile and a half away. No one happened to see her drifting, and she was too frightened to scream.

Eugenics. Mr. Editor: One of the questions which is engaging public attention at the present day. and which it hehooves intelligent citizens i th quoting W 10t for the fact that it shows the ten- or mentioning, were it den of the times, which is from the principles ruled mankind until within the last few vears. Compassion, pity, ten- der affection for the afflicted, patiant care of the sick and suffering, used to be considered virtues. The wasted frame and pinched features, the feeble, petulant wail and helplessness of the baby suffering with marasmus, tuber- culosis, or any one of the chronic dis- eases that feed on the tender flesh of infants, was a powerful incentive to altruistic efforts to render aid. The spontaneous rising of the human heart was to help this little one; to see such a little sufferer, even to_think of one, was accompanied by a distinctive de- sire to keep it. Now a mature but zodless science holds up as an ideal that ‘certain infants shall not be per- mitted to live, or, less euphemistically, that certain infants shall be murder- ed.” Who §s to determine and upon what principle is it to be determined which “certain” infants shall be murdered or spared? It is well known that prog- nosis in infantile diseases is extremely uncertaln, much more so than in adults. The care of a sick infant can never be said to be hopeless until it is actually dead. Who, then, is to pass sentence of death upon the innocent Lone” The pauer.above quoted answers a “maturer science.’ Our reply is that science will have to be much mere mature than it is before twelve doctors could agree upon a given case: or six ductors, or_cven {hree.
