PLACED IN OFFICE. nstallation for St. Mary's T.-A. B. by County Director, ‘At.acmeeting:of St Mary's T. A, B. societyheld on{Tuesday evenzng.kone neéw member was initiated, and after other business had been transacted the meetirig ‘was turned over to County Director {Willlam H. McGuiness, who installed: the following, officers: President. John W, Blacker; vice president, Willlam Doughty; financial, secretary,; Frederick Geer; ~ recording. librarian and sergeant-at-arms, John Wozniak; chairman of board of directors, Leo Clish. The meeting was well-aftend~ his leg was broken. Finding and Award. The finding and award state: The Thames National bank,.the re- spondent, had insured its full liabili- ty. ‘Waterman R. Burnham, the claim- ant, - was on May 15, 1915, and for & long time prior thereto.had been a rector of the bank, and on said day at Norwich, while engaged in his duties as such director, and while within the building occupied by said bank, and in the process of leaving said building after attendance on a meeting of the board of directors.of said bank, suf- fered_an {njury, which arose out of and in'the course of the performance of his duties as aforesald, which in- jury consisted in a fracture of the ankle, as a consequence whereof ithe claimant was at all times from the date of eaid injury up to the date of the hearing totally incapacitated. Thesclaimant was of the age of 83 years. Each director, including the claim- ant, received for-attendance upon each weekly meeting of the directors the sum of five dollars. Said fee was paid in pursuance of a vote of the directors of the said bank passed Jan. 26th, 1893, and read- ing as follows: “Voted: That the di- rectors be paid five dollars each for their attendance at the weekly ses- sions of this board.” The average weekly amount Te- ceived by the claimant for attendance upon meetings of the directors for the 26 calendar weeks immediately pre- not participate in behalf of the cor- poration in making & contract with himsel. Thus whils he may be a borroyver+from. the bank he is not to participate in behalf of the bank in making the loan to himself. (Pratt’s Digest, p. 19.) Tt has been said that, “A director cannot with properiety vote in the board of directors upon a matter af- fecting his own private interests any more than a judge can sit in his own case; any resolution passed at a meet- ing of the directors at which a diree- tor having a personal interest in the, matter voted will be voidable at the instance of the corporation or the shareholders, without regard to its fairness, provided the vote of such director” was necessary to the result. ¢ * If the directors of a company vote * % compensation for man- aging its affairs, they may be com- pelled to account in equity * 10 Cye. p. 790.) Had all of the directors interested in” the vote in question withdrawn, it is obvious that no vote would have been passed. In view, however, of the apparent acquiesence of the corpora- tion in the action of the directors taken a score of years ago, and of the probable fact that the arrengement made was liberal to the corporation and so regarded by all, we may as- sume that any possible iriformality in this_respect has been waived and re- gardeq the arrangement as a valid one. Payments Are Not Wages, ceding the week during which he was injured was five dollars. The claimapt had no other duties to perform than attendance upon said meeting, and such other duties as may have been imposed by law. The claimant was not an employe, nor within the terms of part B of said act. A memorandum is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Whereupon it is awarded end ad- judged that the clalm of the claimant be dismissed. Memorandum of Decision. The only question involved in this case is as to whether a director in a national bank who receives a fee for attendance upon weekly _directors’ meetings is an employe as the term is Assuming that the pavments to di- rectors were regular, valid and legal, can they, however, be considered as wages? In the great majority of cases the small sums paid for attend- ance at directors' meetings are not regarded by those receiving them as paid in any serious attempt to com- pensate them for the work done. Whatever may be the motives which lead a_director to become a director, the inducement is rarely the hope of receiving these periodical payments. They are paid to competent and in- competent alike and their amount is not affected by the length of the meet- ing or the work performed at the meeting: they are governed by no law of supply and demand; they are paid often to men of large wealth and are generally regarded as mere honoraria, used in the cospensation act. The word “employe” is defined in section 43 of part B as meaning “any person who has entered into or works under any contract of servic or apprenticeship with an employe: while the correlative term “employer” is defined as including any person whether natural or corporate Who uses the service of another for pay. While the act itself is entitled “An act concerning compensation to work- men injured in the course of their em- ployment,” a broad meaning has been ascribed by all of the commissioners to the word “workmen” and the act regarded as mot limited to those who are workmen in the narrow sense of the term. One may still be an em- ploye even though the work that he performs is of an executive nature. The act, however, contemplates that there should be to the contract under which the lgbor is performed, whether express or implied, two distinct par- ties, the employer and the employe. It also contemplates that there shall be a wage and that this wage shall be earned. In the present case are there two such parties and is there such a wage? Upon the answer to these questions depends the decision of the_case. The board of directors of a corpora- tion is in a sense a constituent part of the corporation. Universally the charter or the general act under which the corporation is formed, creates such a board and confides to it the general care of the corporation business. While it may be quite possible for the corporation itself to limit the powers of the directors (10 Cyc. p. 780) never- theless the directors are far more than mere agents or servants of the stock- holders. The latter generally form a widely separated and disorganized body and the real direction of the corpora- tion is almost inevitably in the hands of the directors, Almost universally a director is required to be a sharehold- er in the enterprise. Under the na- tional banking laws a director must in his own right own at least 10 shares of provided to emphasize the importance of regular and_prompt attendance up- on meetings. It would seem therefore that in this case there is no element which can fairly be considered the element of wages. In accordance with the views ex- pressed in this memorandum the claim is dismissed. the story be printed over-a pen HELP-GIRLS TOWARDS COLLEGE-EDUCATION Connecticut College Sends Out Appeal For Effort Towards Scholarships. Connecticut College for Women will seek to do all in its power to provide scholarships for young women of no financial means. In an effort to make it possible for them to obtain a higher education and to fit themselves for a valuable life work, an appeal has been made by the office of the college to the philanthropic people of the state. The official appeal. issued Wednesday by President Sykes, is as follows: How many girl graduates of our high schools are going to -college this fall? Are there able girls among these graduates whom cirqumstances shut out from them promising ca- reers? The office correspondence of Con- necticut College, which opens in Sep- tember shows that a considerable number of worthy girls, graduates of our high schools have not the means to go to collese and they want to go. Here is a typical letter: “President Sykes, Connecticut College for Women, New London, Conn. Dear Sir:—Would you let me know what opportunities Connecticut Col- lege offers to a girl who is very de- sirous of a college education and yet is so handicapped financially that she sees no possible way to have her hopes reahized? This girl—myself—is willing to do almost anything to enable her to re- stock, except in the case of banks of small capitalization, in which case he must own at least five such shares. If he ceases to own the required number of shares of stock he thereby vacates his place. (Pratt’s Digest of National Banking Laws, section 30, p. 44.) Unlike a mere agent or servant, the director is required to take an oath of office. The duties placed upon him by the law are duties of direction rather than duties of administration in de- tail. A director of a corporation pre- sumptively serves without compensa- tion (10 Cyc. 898). The directors of a national bank are not the creatures of the stock- holders but derive their authority in large part from the law. “The af- faifs of each association shall be man- aged by * * directors, who shall be elected by the shartholders * * =+ . The directors shall hold office for one vear, and until their successors are elected and _have qualified” (Re- vised Statues, U, S. Section 5145. Pratt’s Digest, Section 29, p. 44). A director seems to have no power as a director individually but only a voice in the board at its meetings. (Pratt’s Digest, p. 46, and authorities cited.) There is a sort of an analogy between his status'in this respect and that of the ordinary stockholder, who while voting - at the _stockholders' meeting is in asense performing work for the banlk, ‘While liability to compensation does ot at:all rest upon the fact of negli- ceive a college education, and grad- uates from high school this June as valedictorian of her class. If you wish credentials I can refer you to prin- cipal—and others whose opinion you will value. Wil you let me hear from you? Very truly yours, The pubdlic should hear from her. The situation so well stated b: this Connecticut girl is practically repeated in every high school in the state. This creates a problem that should be put before the public and that the public-minded citizen is willing to consider. The state of Connecticut has done a good deal to help in the education of its able but necessitous _bovs. Yale's scholarship funds are $2,150,000: Weslevan's $200,000; Trinity's ahout the same. This surely marks a path for action in behalf of our unprovided girls. We have provided for the boys, but our great neighbor New York has not fafled to remember that there are girls too. Think of it, 750 university scholarships each of them giving an able student boy or girl $100 a vear for four years towards his or her ex- penses at any college in the state, and 150 Cornell universiy scholarships giv- ing free tuition at Cornell University to a boy or girl from each assembly distriet. New York state believes in helping those who have learned to help themselves and devotes $97,000 a year to fts creed. Conmnecticut has gence (Powers vs. Hotel Bond Co., 8 Conn. 143) neyertheless that liability is one imposed upon persons who in.general have the direqfion of the enterprise and an op- portunity to minimize the risks. This direction is In the case of a corpora- tion placed in practically the last in- stance upon the board of directors. In no sense is‘there-any superior body. Not Employer and Emplaye, I am of the opinion therefore, that there is no real relation of employer and employe between & bank corpor- ation and a member of its board of directiors. the-directors ©f a corporation presumptively, as noted sbove, serve without pay. If they receive compensation it must be by -virtue of some . contract-between made generous provisions for its boys. Does this not peint the way to its do- inx something for its girls also? The need of provision was foreseen by the Connecticut college from the first stages of organization. Through- out the state the plea has gone for the founding of local scholarships for high school graduates to go to college and of college scholarships for stu- dents at college. Already thers is an encouraging answer. No less than six different towns are collecting funds for the endowment of scholarships in local high schools—Bristol, Hartford, Willtmantic, Norwich, New London, and Meriden. One college scholarship seems assured as a memorial to_ the woll known Connecticut teacher, Miss Mary- Abbott. A ¥rave besinninz, hut well known passage from Ian Mac- Laren concerning the devotion of the Scotch to learning and to that mem- berof the family whohad the promise of it in him. “There was but one ambiticn in these humble homes—to bhave one of their“members at col- lege, and if Domsle, the schoolmaster, approved a lad, then his brothers and sisters f.ve him their wages and the family lived on skimmed milk and oat efig to let him have his chance.” Wil e public help the Comnecticut girl to bave her chance? PARISH AID SOCIETY Presents Farce Before Large Audience at St. James’ Parish House, Poque- tanuck—About $50 Netted. The Young People’s Parish Aid so- cie of St. James' Bpiscopal ochurch, Poquetanuck, presented Jack o* Hearts, an amusing little farce, at the parish house Tuesday evening. The audience testifled to its pleasure at the clever acting by liberal applause. The cos- tumes and stage settings were remark- ably attractive, which fact, together ‘with the spirited acting of the aid so- clety members, delighted all who wit- nessed the play. Many compliments were pald Mrs. John T. Taylor, Jr., who 80 succes: fully coached the young people and ar- Tanged the tableaux.

RESTFUL NORWICH. Where Escape from the Surging Un- quiet of New London lo Found. There is something _charmingly restful about ‘Norwica these lovely summer days. It looks so placid— and somnolent. Nobody appears to be in a hurry to do anything—and nobody uppears to be doing much of anything. For lapsing quietude com- mend us to Norwich. The commenta- tor yesterday afternoon enjoyed the urban beauty of the Thames river val ley from the front seat of a trolley car, and was delightfully fresh when the car rolled into Franklin square. Which was how he came to get into the charm of the summer solstice in Norwich. Many people, storekeepers, evidently, stood in doorways, watch- ing the cars go by, especially at the Franklin square terminus of cars from several directions. This was the only place of movement, every quarter hour. People changed cars, or terminated their ride, and silently melted away and the cars passed on, and placidity returned to the square and its estu- aries—for fourteen more minutes. It was certainly refreshing. to get away from the hustle of home town life in the experience and the observation, and bide a while in peaceful, care- free Norwich.—New London Globe. Band Concert Postponed. For the second time this season the municipal band concert by Tubbs® band had to be postponed because of rain.
