The Amherst College faculty have come out strongly against in­ tercollegiate sports, and are the fir'8f -New to take such a decided stand. Reso­ lutions were passed at a recent meeting deploring the present de­ moralizing tendency of intercollegi­ ate athletic games, expressing the conviction that the cost of these games in time, money and energy expended brings no compensating advantage, and decreeing that the college shall cease to take part in W1 lAAl H * V I’ i 11 i-4 1 f ftTlXXH-fyftw ments have been fulfilled or after the close of the present collegiate year. The resolutions also express their cordial approval of games and athletic contests which take place on the students’ home ground. The telescope formerly belonging to the observatory ol Mt. Holyoke Seminary, a six-inch refractor, is now on duty at the observatory of the Huguenot Seminary at Well­ ington, South Africa. The astrono­ mer royal at Cape Town, Dr. Gill, kindly attended to the setting up of the instrument in its new home and the American. astronomers, headed by Prof. Newcomb, made (heir station in the seminary grounds. One of the Holyoke grad­ uates teaching there used the tele­ scope very successfully at the time of the transit, making what was considered a valuable observation. The West Point, Va., Star says) “ Williamsburg, once the seat of the learning, wealth, fashion and social position of Virginia, seems to be fast going to decay. The college has entirely gone down. Last year there was only one student-— this year none. The president has- a splendid residence just out of town, and the buildings are quiet and lonely looking, and seem to hide within their walls much of wisdom ; but this is all that is left of the once proud seat of learning, William and Mary College.”— Sei. Educational Department. School Supervision. *4 . The necessity for local supervis­ ion is so generally recognized by city schoiiLjtutharitiefl. that sl-noat every city in the country has its superintendent. Thorough and ef­ ficient supervision has been the chief agency in bringing the city systems to their present standard. But the necessity for the supervis- " ion- ofungraded schoohr in town - ships lias not been so generally re­ cognized. If cities with the advantages of well graded schools, of a long term and of well-trained and experienc­ ed teachers, need supervision, and derive so much benefit from it, that ungraded schools in townships, with all their disadvantages, can not be expected to do. The argu­ ments in favor of supervision of ungraded schools in townships are unanswerable. a No prudent man would employ a -get of workmen on a farm, or in the shop, without devising some means by which their work could be effi­ ciently supervised. Every mill must have its manager, and every railroad its superintendent. In every business of life, as well as in every department of govern­ ment, there must be systematic or­ ganization of labor, with intelligent supervision. The highest purpose of ungraded schools cannot be realized without thorough supervision.— Journal oj Education. vllvulj ■———:----- --------------------------------- Collegös and Seminaries.
