IHE FUNCTION OF ATHLETICS.

From paber by President Thwing. read be
fore the american Institute OF Instruction.
One dinkcuty that besets the college
In the una Intenance Of this lofty purpose
Ia the ath letic interest. The college has
not beconje base ball field or football
or race course 10 that extent TO which
the people, believe IL has fallen. Certain
colleges Ire quite free from this evil
drift, but Iin other colleges the athletic
movement has become craze; a frenzy !;
madnejs. The origin Of the move
ment is NOT hard to trace and the origin
Is in man4 respects worthy. The college
stands foil things Of the mind, but the
mind as vie know Is located in body.
The mind thus placed seldom works
well unlejs the body Is 10 health. A
body Is seldom in health without exer-
else. EXERCISE to be the most healthful
must be laken in joy. One method by
which joIous exercise is promoted Is
competiti1n. Therefore competitive ex-
ercise results from method OF keeping
the mind vigorous for its work. But
exercise that is used as means very
easily takts TO itself the interest which
attaches tb the end for which the service
| Is used; Ind when exercise in college
becomes IN end athletics have become
An evil. This movement Ia the college
is cOnten1poraneOus with the athletic
movemen3Of the whole American peO-
pie; moEement which is Of tremendous
signficante for the health Of the people
yet unborn. Now the college has set be-
fore itself|a very important problem OF
keeping athletics In the college vigorous
as meant but of crushing out athletics
as an elid. Through athletics as =
means and agency the college may still,
maintain rs place as standing for things
of the miHd, but whenever athletics be-
come an absolute good then the col
lege ceases to become a mental anG
spiritual 81 ency and takes its place will.
the ma.erlalisms of material time.
| do notapprehend that the ditficultie,
which certain colleges meet with In tn,
proper administration Of these athletic
interests kre to become widespread or
to remain lasting. College men are OIL
the who'll, sensible fellows and thu,
parents Of college men are on the who'll
sensible, ahd we are soon to find athlet-
les assuming their proper place in the
whole wofk Of the whole college who's
purpose III to train the whole man.

Thousands Of Prisoners Were Shot Down
After the Surrender.

After the surrender.
No French victory was ever marked
by such unbridled license as that which
the victorious troops practiccd at Yafa-
But what followed was worse, for the
prisoners Of war were too numerous for
tho ordinary usage. For some days they
were treated according to the terms OF
quarter they had exacted. On the 18th
council Of war unanimously voted that
the old rule under which no quarter is
given to defenders in an assault should
be applied to them. For three days Bo-
naparte hesitated, but ON the 20th his
decision was taken. A fow Egyptians
were sent home and the remainder Of
the prisoners. together with the 800
militia from Ell Arish, were marched to
the beach and shot. In the report TO the
directory the number was put at |, 200.
Two eyewitnesses estimated it-one at
5000, the other at 1000.
"Ihave been severe with those Of your
troops who violated the laws Of wal"
wrote the author Of the deed to Jezzar.
No mention Of the fact or excuse for It
was made in any Of his other CORE
spondence at the time. All winter long
he had been dealing as an oriental with
orientals, and this was but piece Of
the same conduct The code of Christian
morality was far from his mind. In JAN
uary, for instance, he had ordered Mu
rat to kill all the prisoners Of a hostile
tribe in the desert whom he could not
bring away, and in the same month
identical orders were issued to Berthier
concerning another existing horde.
The plea which is made'by the eulo-
gists Of Napoleon and by some recent
military writers for this wholesale exc
cution is that among these slaughtered
men the garrison Of Ell Arish, which
had surrendered, had been found again
with arms in their hands; that they
were deserving Of death according TO all
the laws Of war, and that, rs to the rest,
there We're no French prisoners for whom
to exchange them and no provisions to
support them, consequently their pres
ence with the army would jeopardize its
success, and it was therefore justifable
TO diminish the enemy's resisting power
BY their execution. Those who believe
that war. whether just or unjust, justi
ies any barbarity which will lead to
speedy victory will agree with that
opinion. Professor W. M. Sloane's
