England and the Turkish Barbari-
sriey

There was great Indignation, and very
rightly, expressed in the British Parlia-
ment recently by different speakers in
regard to the apparent indifference of
the British government to the Turkish
barbarities in Bulgaria, where whole viii
liages, including christian women and
children, were murdered by fire and
sword. 1t was charged that the British
policy in protecting Turkish nationality
for political reasons was responsible for
all this-or at least that it would be so
held by the civilized world if England
did not intervene to prevent and pun
ish such atrocities, 1t was hardly rea-
sonable to doubt, however, that En-
gland, when she once should be in the
possession of the proper date would
take action on the subject. She has
advices now from Mr.. Barring, her sec
retary of legation has been in confr-
nation of the butcheries, and in ad-
dition Mr.. schuyler, of the American
legation, has been witness of the most
terrible SCIENCES, finding at the town of
Batok CHASTITY heaps of skeletons, skulls,
and purified bodies, many of them of
girls and women with long hair, others
of men as they fell in their clothing,
and among charred ruins. MIR. Disraeli,
while yet at the head of the govern
ment, was severely blamed and urged
to vindication of british response
bility in the matter. Now that he has
resigned, and been promoted to the
peerage, Earl Russell has come forward
in letter to Lord Granville, of the op-
position, declaring that the barbarities
perpetrated in the Turkish provinces
call for determined combination of the
under treaty OF alliance against Turk
ish tyranny. The fact that Great Britain
deems it necessary to maintain the Otto
man empire in position as power with
territory intact makes it more incum-
bent upon her than any other of the
western powers to protest against and
prohibit the uneivilized manner in which
that government conducts her warfare,
and it is fair to presume that the minis
ters of her majesty's government will
discharge this high duty. Earl Russell
thinks an autumn session of Parliament
necessary to take action, in connection
with the other powers, in the premi-
ses.

stone Masons Going to Scotland

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Cogill & Son,

for erecting number of large build

also fathers who had to bid wives and

could be separated by the officers OF

to take their families with them. For

In order to make the course of in
struction as thorough as possible some
sixteen separate and distinct schools
in the various departments profession
al as we'll as academic were founded
and for graduation in each hool,
diplomas are given. Since the organ
ization of the University proper, these
schools have been grouped in depart
ments so that graduation in a certain
number of prescribed schools is re-
quired for each professional and titular
diploma. while also the number of
schools has been increased from time
to time just us the advancement of
science and the times demanded. The
number of years in the course of each
school vary; for the most part there
are required, known as Junior, Inter
mediate and senior, while in other
schools two only; junior and senior.
Thus as for an illustration in Latin,
Greek and Mathematics, q student
ought 10 graduate in three years each,
the requisite number, but not over
one third who apply for graduation at
ate; this is owing however to the
vigorous written examinations which
are held periodically in each school
each lasting from six to fourteen
hours and the diplomas of the different
schools are conferred on those students
alone whose examination papers come
up to the fixed standard which is in
most schools four fifths while in some
three fourths of the values assigned to
the questions set in the examination.
Thus it may be seen that a student
either graduates cum ldudc or not at
all, there being no distinction between
graduates.
The attendance on the lectures is not
absolutely compulsory but time has
proven that even by missing one the
student often for the most part loses
the drift of the subject matter in the
lectures and therefore lessons greatly
his chances for graduation.
The second great innovation made
by Mr. Jefferson was the introduction
to a large extent of the principle of
self government, making the regula.
tions as few as possible and thus
avoiding the imposition of artificial

ciples of self government are appealed
to; while the whole control and Or
ganization of the institution is based
on mutual trust and confidence be-
tween the authorities and the students
in other words every student is con-
sidered by the faculty gentleman to
do just as his sense of honor may in
cline him. To make this scheme of
government more efficient it has be-
come an established practice with the
faculty to give notice to the parents OF
q son who is not doing well, "that il
would be better to remove him" The
young student then without public ex
posure, escapes the temptation which
might have ruined him and is saved
from the disgrace of suspension o.

innovation for those days was tina
