erick county, distinguished physician and
chief inspector Of the sanitary commission
in the Army of the Potomac during the
war, Who examined the body shortly after
il was found, gives the following az his
theory OF the cause of his death:
"Mr. johnson either stumbled over
piece Of coal, or being seized with ventiRo
or incipient symptoms Of apoplexy. and
straining to save himself, moved toward
the west, staggering along BY the northerly
side of the executive mansion. At each
step, his body gaining momentum, so that
having gained the door leading into the
basement, he svayed around to the south
and fell, his head striking against the
sharp corner Of the granite case Of the
house, and which gave the 6st wound on
the head. Reaching the pavement of
rough cobble ston =, . second wound was |
received in front of the first. At this time. |
perhaps, his nose was fractured, and one

The difference in the cost of the two in
stitutions, as shown by the foregoing fig
ures, is somewhat remarkable, and is to bs
explained only in the fact that the one q,
Emporia is a High !SchOol, for the convience o.
that locality, rather than Normal School
fo- the State. If the State desires to sup.
port High Schools, for the benefit OF the
towns in which they may be located, that
is another question, but while tine discas-
sion is confined to Normal Schools, the one
at Leavenworth can challenge comparison
with the best schools of the kind in the
country, anywhere, in regard either to the
character of the work done, or the cost of
it. But it is not right for the State to sup
port High School for the benefit OF any
particular locality.
The State. Board of Commissioners,
who visit all the different State institu-
tions, report ;ha. the school at Leayen-
worth has advantages very superior to
those at Emporia, for Normal training.
and does better work. The fact is, no
school could have better advantages for
Normal training than that at Leayen-
worth, while the fact that not over twenty
five or thirty pupils can be mustered at
Emporia for "model" school, shows that
a. much cannot be said for the institution
At that place.
As We have already stated, we have no
desire to make war upon the Emporia
school, but since Its friends in the Leeisla-
ture have seen fit to attempt to build it up
at the expense of the one at Leavenworsh,
it is no more than fair to state plainly the
relative advantages Of the two institutions,
and ii is not out of place in
the present connection, to call the
attention Of the Legislature to the
fact that there has been something uroue
in the management of the Emporia school |
for several years past During the admin
of Prof. Hos there was . regular
row among the faculty, all the time, md 1t |
present. We are told, it is but little better. |
