mastery of ancient Greek, and also to ad-
vance the study of ancient history and
archaeology. If permanent endowment
can be secured there is to be a permanent
director of tho school residing at Athens.
The director for 1923 was Professor W.
W. Goodwin (Harvard); for 1884 Pro-
fessor i. r. Packard (Yale), and Professor
]. @. Van Benschoten Wesleyan is now
in Athens acting in that capacity. The
colleges now united in the enterprise are

THE CANAL SURVEYS.
When They will be COmpleted.-.Maj.
w. II. II. Benyuard In the City
-..His Views on the
Subject.

Major W. H. II. Benyuard. who has in
charge the Hennepin canal surveys now in
progress, arrived at the Harper house last
night, and he leaves for Chicago this ev :
ening. When approached by an ARGUS
reporter this morning as to the progress
of the surveys. and when they would be
completed. Maj Benyuard replied:
I'VE are going right along with both
routes and WILL think. have complet ted
both by Thursday of this week.
(Which do you think will be the more
favorable the WATERFOWL, or the Rock
river route?"
That can not say. We will not be
able to decide As to that until all the
points and routes are in, and we have an
opportunity to examine both. We don't
expect to have our report ready
to submit to congress until
some time in January. We will
make full report of all our surveys and
submit it to congress in full
"Will you make any Recommendations
to congress as to which route seems the
more favorable to your"
"Ne, sir, we are employed to make the
surveys and let congress decide from our
report"
"What do you think of the outlook for
the canal pit this timer"
The prospects are encouraging as far
as know. Of course. play no part in
the endeavors to secure it. | am simply
engaged by the government TO make the
surveys and that is all | shall do"
While Mojor Benyuard appeared to be
non-com initial on all matters pertaining
to the canal. He seemed to be greatly in
terested IN the project and is probably
more favorable to it than he desires to
make public, and it is likely that his sur-
vey will show that the Rock river route is
by all odds the least expensive and shorts
est and in every way the best of the two.
