The maiter of improved state high- ‘ways is one which is going to be more imwportant than ever before at the next sessbon of the general assembly. The value of good roads has been given broed recognition and with such in mind this state has made large expen- ditures for the betterment of the high- ways of the state in accordance wi a well devised plan. This has meant the imposition of large expense upon the state and the issuance of long term bonds. Connecticut has an incom- pleted system of roads which brought much bemefit and widespread appreciation, but with the wear and tear and the damaging influence of fast mowving vehic the lack of per- manency has come to be fully realized. With the need of good roads and trial which has been given to those coosiructed, there has arisen a just de- mand for permanency. Otherwise the maintenance and repair account is go- ing to keep up a heavy drag upon th state resources. meaning practically a million a year for this purpese alone. Connecticut wants the best results in the construction of it e roads. It wanis roads from which the gre est amount of service be sect for the least expend of mon and with a declaration by the high- way commissioner that the require- ment for funds can never be expected to decrease if the roads are to be kept im condition, the question of revenue | and the type of road becomes at once | one of the state's big probler is one which deserves thorough ¢ and i id- eratio if It is going to be properly solved, NOT AN iABLE POSITION.

With the misunderstandings the backing and Miing which has been done and each sueceeding step bringing forth nations of high offic révelations as to how evervthing hap pemed the developments were enough to worry even a leader of the premier’'s caliber, The necessity of demonstrating that the government has not lost and does not intend to lose its grip was required and this is set forth in the declaration of the premier that he will never sent to demands from any bod a the service of the anees of hypothetic: the government. This is a vital tion if the dog is going 1 tail wagging. It is demanded if the government is going to hold together. To yield in this crisis would mean the surrender to the army and that the military and naval authorities rule in- stead of parliament. While it has been declared that force will be used if necessary, the situation, though pre- senting as Lilovd-George savs as grave an issue as any since the days of the Stuarts, «calls for a settlement without recourse to arms. IRON AND STEEL TURES, In the industrial life of this coun- try one of the greatest contributors to business activity and one of the important barometers as to existing conditions is furnished by the iron and steel Duginess. This has shown re- markable growth during a period of ten years and it is a noticeable fact that of the production of such man- ufactures in this country about 85 per cent. are consumed at home, leav- ing but 15 per cent, for export trade. Seme idea of the great distribution which is made of such goocds is re- led when it is learned that Amer- n made locks are adding to the se- urity of homes in India and oriental suntries. Our bathtubs are a house- hold necessity in the West Indies, Tur- key, Japan and China besides Euro- pean and American countries. Car wheels, rails and locomotives go to Japan, Argentina and Cuba, while cash registers and typewriters are being manipulated ail over Kurope, North and South America, Canary lIslands, Egypt, New Zealand and many small- er communities. Cream separators are sought in the Azores, South Afri- ca America and Germany is. together 18- MANUFAC- has | the | s | wa cked up and the development of | while our cotton gins are to be found | in Brazil, Peru, Mexlco and Indla.

Ouf printing press- es are distributed to Canada, England, Australia, Germany, France and Bra- zll, while Ilce is made from our ma- chines in (Cuba, Mexico and other tropical countries. American made products in iron and steel show a marked gain during the | past decade with a great increase in the export trade because of the char- acter of American made goods. SCHOOLS AND SUMMER VACA- TIONS. should provide some the children “The _schools kind of instruction for through what is now, in most cities, a long, wasteful vacation” is the declaration of Dr. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, in urging the continuance of some kind of school activity during the summer months. He is not disposed to disregard the value of proper time for play but be- lieves that good use could be made of the great amount of time which now goes to waste, for his suggestion is that such summer work last not long- er than four hours—from seven or eight o'clock until eleven or twelve— giving the remainder of the day for play and recreation Every long vacation brings a largej amount of waste time. After a certain amount of leisure the childre find that time hangs heavy on their hands and unless something profitable is pro- vided -for them to do, mischief and harm is likely to result. The summer schools and the playgrounds are serv- ing an excellent purpose in overcom- ing such dangers while the idea of small gardens also serves to occudy the time and attention. Rapidly is the need of some such profitable act ity being recognized particularly for those children who are so situated that their vacations must be spent at home. The idea of the all year school is con- trary to a long established precedent and it will require no small amount of argument and demonstration to bring about change. Dr. Claxton probably realizes that he has an uphill task, notwithstanding the good us which can be made of time not needed for rest or play but which is abso- lutely wasted. CHANCE FOR COMPARISON.

It will go into effect in the fall of 1915 thus giving consider- able time to work out its details, and will affect the members of the junior and senior classes in the coilege. The honors system follows with slight modifications systems_introduced this vear in Harvard and Princeton. It has long been used in the English univer- sities and some Canadian institutions. The students who in their first two years obtain an average of 8.00 (on the scale of 4.00), or others who are espe- cially commended by the department in which they do most of their work, may become candidates for honors. This means that these more capable students, 11 be given a different kind of instruction and of examipation in the work for honors. The exceptional men will be weeded out and given an opportunity to go ahead unhampered by the average of the poor students. The committee on the honor system has designed it not for a greater ac- cumulation of fatts—that is done enough now—but for the development ‘of the reasoning powers. Their ideal of an examination is one general com- prehentive one, covering all the sub- jects in a man’s honor course, and thereby making him relate them one to the other. In some courses the system will mean a special division for honor men; in others, supplemental instruction; in still other cases, restriction of advanc- ed courses to honor men alone. The committee on the honors sys- tem feels that it will make college more a preparation for and guarantee of success in after life. The 1214 Junior Promenade cost $6,596.28, the report of the committee this week shows, and that amount is quite a little below the average of the last ten promenades. The greatest sum, $8,153.96, expended by the 1912} committee. and the lowest, $5 5. by the 1918 committee. ~This year there were total receipts of $8.- 195.80, ticket sales alone netting $5.- 4, giving a surplus of $1,599.52 to be refunded to box-holders. The outbreak of half a dozen or more cases of scariet fever in college caus- ed President Hadley to advise precau- tionary measures in chapel the other morning, when he urged all men who had sore throats to have them sprayed at once, and all who had reason 1o be- lieve that they had been exposed to re- port to Dean Jones for advice, and a; titte of laughter, quite an unusua: thing, ran through Battell. “Prexy” sat down with a smile on his face and | after the post-chapel rush to the post- | office, the same advice was read in the | News. Since then a number of men have come down, among them Pum- pell the football and baseball man, wh will be kept from the southern trip during the Easter recess that be- gins April 8. The Academic senior oouncil, with the approval of the faculty, has outlin- ed an honor system for examinations and class room work in the college, and the four classes are’ to veote upon | it on Monday All supervision by the faculty will be thdrawn, and the ion of honesty will be left to the vidual's honor, and public opinion. -fourths vote is considered ne to ratify the plan, which is fav- ored by most of the faculty members e opinions have been asked.

One of the means of bringing Yale into touch with the preparatory schoeis of the country in the past has been a little publication termed the KN Book. It has been published by grad- uates of the university, but this year, under their authorization, it has been taken over by the undergraduates and it will be sent to all men whose names are on the registrars’ lists as intend- ing to come to Yale, and to the lead- ing preparatory schoois. The editors of the Eli Book wish it to fill a long fel* wan® by acquainting sub-freshmen with the stoms and tral..sons of Yale, and by giving them a fall ac- count of the many extra curriculum activities. Persons engaged in tnel various fields of work are to explain! these opportunities in the book and their special articles will make up the body of the book, and there will be! numerous illustrations. Prof. Henry B. Wright has consented to act as ad- viser and vcritic in getting out the book. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Lost Opportunity.
