There is a great deal of rhetorical
fustian in newspaper editorials on
the present war between Greece and

The teachers' examination, taking
place today, naturally suggests the

these examinations are made. At
the last quarterly examination two
thirds of the applicants failed to pass,

says Xerxes led 1.000.000 Persians
into Greece in the third invasion
(ptuy, what was the first invasion:)
when the Father of History declares
positively that there were 2,041.010
fijihting men. 300.000 of whom were
Greeks in the service of Persia, be
sides as many more non combatants,
makina a grand total of .J.2S3.220
men that Xerxes, son of Darius, led
to Thermopylae, exclusive of women
who made bread, and concubines,
and other attendants, besides beasts
of burden and Indian dogs, which no
one could number.
The big daily also speaks of Leon- j
idoa' -deathless 300." Had the j
editor referred more carefully to his
school history he would have found
the statement that the 300 all died. ;
including Leonidas himself. That
is also the opinion generally received

only 29S of the 300 actually fell in !

willingly, for they refused to go
away and abandon Leonidas and
those with him, but lemnined and
died with thorn; but the Thebans
were compelled to stay, as Leonidas
distrusted them, and after he was
killed those who were alive threw
down their arms and surrendered to
the Persians. The voluntary sacri
fice of the 700 Thespians in behalf of
Grecian liberty is seldom alluded to,
and is uncelebrated in song, but their
conduct was tenfold more glorious
than that of the Spnrtans, who re
