A Treat TO Students.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: The
students of the preparatory school of tho
Columbian University last Thursday had
the great pleasure Of listening to scholarly
addresses BY X. G. Fox, LID. and Mr..
f. w. Fox, of The NATIONAL REPUB-
LIcAN. DIR. Fox forcibly presented the
practical utility of a classical education.
The remark is too frequently made that.
whatever may be the value of the study
of Latin and Greek to some,
yet business men. at least, have no need
of such culture, This idea the doctor
stoutly combatted. He interested his
large audience Of boys by showing them
that legal and technical terms pertaining
to real estate are-not u few of them--de-
rived from the classics. Evidently the
doctor has not forgotten his knowledge Of
the two noble languages of which he
spoke, however great may have been tho
cares and perplexities of his active and
successful business life. Mr.. Il. w. Fox
certainly knows how to get hold OF q
boys heart, His remarks were rich in
words Of wisdom, and the evident earnest
ness and good will with which he spoke
made them the more effective. Tho boys
and the faculty alike join in the hope
that these gentlemen may soon favor
them again. l.. ID. l..

Gloomy outlook for Shoemaker.

It seems to us that President Cleveland
is unjust ifiably slow about appointing
Col. John C. Shoemaker, editor of tho H.
dianapolis Sentinel, to foreign mission.
When Brother Shoemaker tore himself
from the bosom, as it were, of the Rev.
Alabasters church in indianapolis, it was
believed he would proceed at once to sit
among the elect of the new admlnistra-
tion. We regret that the present indica-
tions are that President Cleveland in
tends to lot Brother Shoemaker perish in
sight Of the promised land Chicago Netgs.
