Trick in the series on The Plan of the Ages was on The Dispensation of Human Conscience. In this exposi- tion we are 'dealing with the principle of goyernment. Man in the previous period was in communion with God, God_as a personal factor. After the expulsion from the garden and the personal presence of God, man is con- trolled by the principle presence of God in the form of conscience. y Moral philosophy is still discussing the fact and form of conscience. But for the man who is willing to accept the word of God conscience is the wine of God within the sou! of man. This is the result of the crestion fact, the image of God stamped on man and the com- munion with God in the garden. Conscience, then, during this period s the governmental force in human relations in a threefold sphere of ac- tion. f 1. The religious sphere. The prin- ciple of -religion is inate, intuitive and not the result of our Bible. The Bible is not the source of but the guide to our religious life. The heathen whq have not the Bible exercise them- selves on the religious plains. Whence is the source of their religious life? 1t is found here, the voice of God in fhe soul. 2. The moral. There are acts of hu- man life that are moral. Sin has be- come a factor of life and on the plain of morals must be overcome. Even the heathen makes moral distinctions. The social relation. Man is his brother’'s keeper. And one day will have to render an account of his stew- ardship. This that we call conscience is the discriminating power of human life between good and evil, right and wrong. It also accuses or excuses. The extent of the light may determine the degree of the processes but not the fact. Conscience makes cowards be- cause it is the voice of God in the hu- man heart for self government nad justification. Pauline V.' Mahoney, 3 year old daughter of William F. and the late 5.4 | Nellie A. Mahoney, died Saturday at 12 o'clock noon at the home of her father on Conven! avenue.

At present Mrs. George Maynard Minor of Waterford is the only candi- date for president-general of the Na- tional D. A. R. .and she will give a reception to more than 5,000 dele- gates in. the red ballroom of the New ‘Willard, Washington, during the week of the convention. This hotel will al- so_be the Connecticut official head- quarters. Mrs. Minor is of New England birth and ancestry, and was born and has lived all her life in that section of Connecticut (Waterford. and East Lyme), settled and lived for many genera- tions. She has been a member of the | society since its earliest days and has served the society continuously for the past eleven years, as state chair- man of several imporfant projects. Notable among them was the widely known Guida or “Guide to the Unit- ed States for the Immigrant” publish- ed in 1910 by the Connecticut D. A. R. at.a total cost of over $7,000, and running through several editions in four languages. This was a pioneer work in Americhnization. Another bproject carried out by Mrs. Minor was securing an appropriation from the legislature for copying the pension records of Connecticut Revolutionary soldiers on file in the pension office at Washington. £ g She was one of a committee on de- linquent women appointed by the Connecticut Prison association to ob- tain legislative action for the estab- lishment of a state reformatory for women, and was later appointed by the governor as one of its board of directors, of which three are women and four are men.

What will no doubt be a source of pleasure to the patrons of the Otis library is the placing of historical post cards in the large glass frame hung atthe right of the charging desk. The post cards are loaned by Mrs. Elisha H. Rogers regent of the Faith Trumbuil chapter, D. A. R., and is one of the many bits of pleasure the chapter has planned to do in the midst of its more serious work.

"The weekly issue of the “Connec cut College News” containg an inter- esting account of the results of the freshmen intelligence tests applied by the department of psychology last fall to the entering class. Several compar- isons with other colleges are given al- though few of the many educational institutions which gave the tests earlier in the college year have pub- lished the results since the real aim of the experiment cannot be accom- plished until the coming June. The aim of these intelligence tests is to correlate the grade a student makes on his or her intelligence test jwith the college record of the stu- dent. The median score of freshmen at ! Connecticut college is identical with the median score of freshmen, both men and ‘women at Dickerson college; it is six points below the median ; score of the mixed freshmen class at the University of Illinois. It is noticed that since the intelli- gence test aims to test native or in- born intelligence and mot education or training that a higher average for upperclassmen does not necessarily mean thdt upperclassmen are more in- telligence than freshmen; it may only ! mean that the less bowuntiful blessed ! freshmen tend to drop out before completing their college course the |average of the upper classes being thus raised. |52 per cent, ranked very superior, 35 per cent. ranked superior, 4 per cent. ranked high average and one per cent ranked low average. President Marshall absence temporarily, lecturing and speaking at club assemblies and 1 schools in the New England = states. Always a fluent speaker, with person- ality as well as complete understand- ing and comprehension of his sub- ject, the president is constantly called upon to address prominent gatherings. Among the latest points of hig itin- eary were the School Masters’ Club of Connecticut at- Hartford, and the Centenary Collegiate Institute of Hackettstown,” New Jersey. At the Masters’ Club President Marshall took for his subject “A Plea ¥or Complete Understanding and Sympathy Be- | tween Secondary Schools and Colleg- es.” Basketball is the sport of the hour at the college. Games and practice games keep the gymnasium constanly in use and the competition between class teams and class players is very keen. The basketball squads this year are i the bett whieh have ever been repre- i sentative of the college. The play is varied, either wall, criss cross or a combination of both, as the class may elect, and the team work i splendid. Each team has its di guished qualities for superiority; showing spectacular individual play, such as basket throwing, another spe- cializes in guarding the basket sharks, while others aim for complete team work rather than indivdual skill. The entire student body has turned out in full numbers to attend the in- terclass games, and enthusiasm and |interest in the games runs high. Fast games and speedy passing make for intense enjoyment of the games and each game is heartily championed by eager onlookers. In Wednesday night’s game the se- ! nior first team won by a score of 37- 6, in a game with the juniors; the junior second team at the same time beat the senior team by a score of a7-1L. Dorothy Wulf, of Norwich, is cap- tain of the junior first team; and Irene Wholey, also of Norwich, is a member of the second senior team.
