The early higher 'in stitutions were established to educate young men for the ministry. That meant heavy dosages - of Latin and Greek. Time passed and college entrance requirements still retained the classics as the foundation: for the preparatory courses. Now we have a high opinion of the so-called dead languages and appreciate their value for many of the professions rbut they should not, and fortunately now da not, form the core of the training for the mass of young people in high schools. There still remains, however, a certain artificial aloofness in the course of study from the practical necessities of adequate preparation for life.

Then they are remembered. Bat nearly al ways the campaign early boils down to one or two real issues, easily grapped by the people and touching their feelings rather than their minds. The opinion of the most experienced obserrers here is that whUe In the coming trlcate analysis, the people wilj not have It otherwise. Already the lines are apparent. In the Landon group there are a number ot .cool- Bennett's connection with 6-13-31 gold discorery in California -and the story, stranger than ' fiction, of the nts orphans: (Continuing -from -yesterday:) When morning came, Catherine was told to stay to breakfast, then search again for her mother. .; W V Standing by the store in the restaurant, she saw her mother come into the store (the restau rant was back of the store) for coffee. The happy meeting dis closed that the little girl had been in the same building; the. one oc cupied by the family. k The family soon set sail for.As plnwalL ArriTlng, they, found but 10 miles of the Panama railroad completed. (It was finished for through business in 18S5.) - At the end of the 10 miles they arrired at the Chagres rlrer and spent the night in a bamboo hut built from the ground on stilts; with, four beds in this hut, one in each corner, all on the floor. Mrs. Entz made a. bed for her six in the corner assigned. Ti v ; In one corner were three men in one bed who had much ammu nition with them, and the two other beds were ' occupied by strangers as weU. In the 'sight a terrific storm came. A bolt ot lightning struck the corner of the hut where the men .with the power lay, killed one of them -outright, put out the eyes of the second, and slightly injured the. other.. . Other occupants ot the "hotel" met with minor Injuries. . - The Entz family barely escaped death. One of the little girls, Vic toria, carried a scar on her thigh the rest of her days as a soarenir of the terrible night f "The next day. Mrs. Ents hired boats' to take . what possessions she had up the rlrer ; 'three na ttrea bargaining to man the boats.
