Two Instances are cited as prac tical examples the reported falling off of attendance at Brown and Chicago. In referring to the former Instance, it says: "Several weeks ago the World-Herald printed a letter from a grnduato of Brown University, showing a large fall ing off in the number of students slme the Rockefeller Influence was fastened upon that institution." During the school year of 185)9-1900, when the first Rockefeller gift or $250, 000 to Brown University was an nounced, the attendance at that insti tution was 88. In 1900-01 it was 872. And during the past two years it was 920 and 940 respectively. These figures are official and not the statement of any "graduate." They can be found In the Brown University calendar foi (lie years mentioned. Furthermore, the attendance has been lessened by the cutting out of special and unclassified students and the requirements for en trance being raised, and still there has been a steady increase, So the shbw- lug for these yoats can nanny ne u- garded as a "large falling off." To show that the attendant e is fall ing off at, Chicago, the World-Herald says that tho enrollment at that In stitution was l,5tin this year as against 2.120 last year. The alendar of the University of Chicago will show that the total enrollment or that institution was 4,403 last year, which Is a some what larger number that the World Herald gives. By these facts It is shown how bare faced and Illogical Is t he action of the World-Herald In attempting to show that tho Influence of Rockefeller dona-tions-hns had a detrimental effect upr on tho attendance of the. Institutions recehing them. The Insincerity of the whole article is thus mado plain, In the attempt at a bridged-over relation be tween cause and effect. In fact the whole force of the World-Herald's ar gument is lost through the Inacuracy of tQQ information upon which It was based. After several weeks of practice it is now possible to draw a line upon the men who wllj be tho most likely candi dates for our baseball team. Of course the weeding out procoss is still to come, and when It occurs we hope to aee the best qualified men chosen as members of the regular squad. There Is no special Indication that favoritism In the selection of players will bo al lowed to enter in, and It Is for the good of the game that it ever bo precluded. 'Ihc taBk of picking a team entails, a groat deal of responsibility and a man of good judgment as to the style and qualities of a player Is alouo fit to mako the selection. We hatfc some good material and we hope to bcc the best possible use made of It. o Although the basket ball Benson has been closed for our first team, the game will continue to be played hero yet for a limited time at least. The girls' teams will be active for some time yet, as they have some interesting games in view. Saturday the Academy team and the "Midgets" will meet and settle the question of superiority. The first team will also try conclusions with the sec ond team, and this game promises much of Interest. Girls' basket ball has come Into vogue in most of our high Bchools and is regarded as one of the best forms of physical exarcis". It has certainly gained a place in the 'pady taken R nogitlon aong gde c( mens' basket ball. Because Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews favors the acceptance by the Universi ty of Nobraska of a substantial dona tion from that rare old Baptist elder, Mr. Rockefeller, the Grand Army post of Kearney, Neb., demands that the educator "be fired bodily" from the .state. Dr, Andrews' experience, it !s to be hoped, will n&ver reach so' dra matic a climax. But one thing is sure they can never scare him, even in Nebraska. Springfield Republican. A Successful Educator. I'rofessor Luckey just recehed a letter from Supt. J. K. Stapleton, of Bloomington. 111., in which he sajs: "Since you recommended me to the people of Bloomington, you will prob abl be pleased to know that I haf just been unanimously re-elected city superintendent, for another year, wit 11 an increase In salary of $500, making my salary for the coming year, $3,000." Many students will remember Mr. Stapleton as superintendent at Lc Ington, Neb. He was very successful in this state, and seems to be equally so In Illinois.

He fctarted the slides by showing up the physical character of the country on which Rome was built, and then proceeded to explain the magnificence of those mighty struc tures which were built in the imperial city. Among the ancient buddings thatwere shown and fully explained -were the Roman Forum, the Arrh of Titus, the ruins of the large temple in which Cicero delivered his famous oration that exposed the conspiracy of Cataline, the Arch of the Silversmith at tho cattle market, completed In 201 B. C. tho Arch of Constantine, whk-h was the last of the great structures built, and which marked the destruc tion of the Roman empire, near which stood the fouutaln where the gladiators quenched their thirst, and greatest of all. tho plan and the wonderful mag- nmeeneo of the Roman amphitheatre, with Its Ionic and Doric finish, which seated 87,000 people, and which could be vacated In ten minutes.. The lecture was well Illustrated and the suggestions by a good woud descrip tion were highly commendable. Chaptn Bros., Florists, 127 So. 13tl. trading.
