1t is also recommended that candidates

the revised requirements are:-
1. The introduction Of Herodotus as a require
ment in Greek instead of Homer. The Homer
will be received as an equivalent, but Herodo-
tus is preferred and Is expected to gradually
supersede the Homer entirely. Homer will ac-
cordingly be reserved for reading in college as
an epic poem.

four books; Herododus, selections from the
Seventh Book; clements of either French or
German, arithmetic. algebra and geometry.
These minimum requirements are at laas equal
to Yale's entrance and superior to Haryard's
minimum.
There arealso advanced requirements In
each subject SO that those who enter
finally prepared in quantity rs we'll as
quality may be given advanced standing
IN one or more of the subjects of Fresh

In this why 1t is hoped to enc ourage the
best schools in their efforts to prepare
boys who will not only meet the minimum
requirements for which they have Special
aptitude.

ming. For sometime past Cox has
been in Newbern Jail, where he was
put for safe keeping, the Trenton Jail

A Mistake.

Raleigh Signal.
1t has been stated that the so-called
committee elected by the recent repub-
lican State convention has authority to
nominate candidates for governor and
for the State offices, and that another
State convention will not be held. This
is mistake. The plan of organiza-
tion requires another convention to be
held sixty days before the election, and
that the State committee is expressly
forbidden to nominate candidates.
Therefore the next convention will be
held before September 9. There
ought not to be another convention,
but the failure to amend the plan of
organization was one of the inexcusa-
bic blunders of Mr.. Eaves and his
friends who controlled the convention.
The editor of the Signal had an
amendment drawn and in his pocket to
suspend the plan of organization until
after the election and to vest all the
power of the party in the State COM
mittee, but after the convention re-
elected Mr.. Eaves and clothed him
with members of the committee who
are on a par with him, we declined tc
introduce the amendment. When the
matter was mentioned on the stage te
Mr.. Eaves his condition was such tha,
he could only reply "that he had moth
ing to say"
