now president of Lelaud Stanford, Jr.,
university, today in un address to the
student body that lie intends to wipe it
out here for nil time.
"At the best," he said, "it is oon-
itemptible; at the worst, criminal. It
marks downfall of democracy, nnd any
thing that lias to be done in tne mini

Ho counselled his hearers to partake
of university activities other than mere i
sillily, noiuing only xn'j men nuv uuvu
interest in healthy endeavors, and nre
not nicro bookworms, amount to any
thing in tho every day world. "You
can't be a good citizen and lay down,"
he said.
"Dr. Wilbur indicated the university
must limit its student, body; and he ex
pressed a desire to have more domitory
lifo. Ho nnnounced, too, careful sclectio i
of powerful men will be mnde to fill the
places of professors, retiring soon un

Richmond. The Highland and Lincoln
schools did not participate, und wrote
no letters nt all.
The senior high school did not partici
pate in the contest ns it was only open
to tho grades and junior high schools.
The record, showing the total enroll
ment of each school, the number of let

gun so was permitted to lug the axe,
with the promiso that he .could also
carry the game.
Tho first thii.g the hunters found wns
Fred Erixon, who needed finding too,
because he was lost. Fred proved to be j
a great coon tiailer for when he struck j
a track the others had to hang on to!
his coat tails to keep from losing him J
again.
Ono of tho eoona wns followed three
miles before tieed and shot. Tho other
led tho boys a chase of five miles, fin-'
nlly like Itoonevelt's red fox, climbing
a tree, a big fir, and ho hit the top of
it before ho stopped. It took six snots
to bring him down, though every one
of them hit him.
Erixon, tho boys say, swum the river
three times in treeing the coons, each
of which wns a big ono, they weighing
10 and 20 pounds respectively.
