II Has Been Added 10 Browns
Curriculum.
The First College I'm the Country to
Offer Il to Students of Language.

The great universities OF today are so
energetic i'm adopting new courses into
their regular curriculum whenever the
first need is felt aud SO active In expand
ing new courses in all directions IL Is sell
dom one institution incorporates new
departure without being Immediately fol-
lowed by similar institutions. The frat
course in the Dutch language and litera-
ture ever taught by any well recog-
nized college in America was added 10
the Brown University department. OF
modern languages one year ago ana has
not yet been inaugurated by any other
America college. This Dutch course may
at first sight appear 10 be but an unim-
portant insertion merely supplementary
TO the regular German courses. There Is
a new school of advanced thinkers, how
ever, of which perhaps the Rev. william
Elliott Critics OF Ithaca, Is the foremost,
which claims TO find the origin OF the
antecedents. The Pilgrim fathers, as all
know, spent a number OF years
in the United States of the Neither
lands about the first of the 18th
century and the experience they
had there with Dutch institutions, both
political and social, led them TO recognize
their intrinsic value, and to adopt them
Dutch people were then united into fed
eral republic OF banded States, OF which
one, under John OF Barnevelt, wished 10
secede and was only kept in the union by
force of arms. There were also at that
time public schools supported by muni-
cipai taxation. So that for the establishr
ment of our federal government, for ou-
policy in the civil war, and for our public
school system of which every American
citizen is justly proud, we find precedents
in the country of Holland. These facts were
more or less vaguely known for years, but
IL is only within the last decade that the
examination Of documents heretofore In
accessible has proved conclusively the
great debt we owe to the Dutch people.
And IL has long been Withheld from this
progressive nation, but IL ID to be hoped
that the establishment OF the study OF
the Dutch language and literature will be
a step In this direction.
Brown, therefore, Is TO be congratulated
that she is the leader in this movement.
Yet apart from the historical interest OF
the language, its pathological value and
the great merits to be found in its litera-
ture would lead to its adoption, If for no
other reason.
Brown offers two courses in Dutch, one
an elementary course In the study OF the
language, the other an advanced course
in the study Of the masterpieces of the
Dutch literature. Prof. Crowell has
charge OF both, and only students who
have had at least one year in German may
elect them.

The department commander has learned
that posts in this department are
organizing associates, and some instances
they are styled associate Members"
This Is contrary to the rules and regula-
tions of the Grand Army of the Republic.
No person can become a "member" of q
post unless he served in the Army, Navy
or Marine Corps of the United States be-
tween April IL, 1861, and April 8, 1866, and
received an honorable discharge from such
service. There can be no objection to
organizations of Associates" but the

How to cross a street.

HOW 10 GLOSS Street.
Did you ever notice how different peo-
pie have different ways of crossing the
street? A timid person will put one foot
in the gutter four or five times before
starting, take three or four steps, and at
the first sound of an electric car bell turn
back. The most successful way is to
measure distances, and make a mental
survey OF possible collisions and then
start. When once started do not stop un-
til you are on the opposite side.

Laterin tue evening III dying miners were

he heard the explosion, and himself aud five
comrades started for the main slope, but
could not get out, and went back into the
mine to pool OF water, where they INNER.
