AMONG THE UNIVERSITIES
Interest in the Effort on Behalf Of
American Students in Frances
Columbian Debating Society FavOrs
Compulsory Education of Youth.
DIR. Rockers Lectures.

topic OF interest In university crcles is
the pamphlet lately issued by the Paris
American University committee for the
purpose of promoting the interests of
American students in France. In Paris
this committee is under the presidency
of DR.. Thomas w. Evans, a former resi-
dent OF Washington and brother Of DR..
Warrington W. Evans, of this City. II has
also the direct patronage OF the American
ambassador.
The object of the committee is 10 induce
American students to matricuIate at
French rather than in German univcrsi-
ties. At the Sorbonne there are but thirty
Americans enrolled, while tue University
or Berlin shows 162. Al the smaller French
universities the disparity is even greater.
II has never been assumed by the 1errna ms
that their courses are superior 10 the French.
so the reason OF the greater popularity Of
the former is due Ia the rigiu cxamina
tons or the French schools.
In Gcrnany u student rs allowed TO ma
triculatc for postgraduate degrees on
the presentation of a diploma from any
recognized college in the United States.
France, however, is more clannish, and
subjects the applicant to a rigid prclim-
nary examination, and exercises a sur
bim of the right OF free and Independent
Investigation.
The committee pays great compliment
to America by saying that her students are
very desirable because they are mature
and in search of true scientific knowledge;
and that France Injuries herself by placing
unnecessary obstacles in the way of their
entrance to her colleges. IL is therefore
suggested that French educators b. pc

fashioned discipline; ami such Il paper,
prepared under the presidency of DR.. simon
Newcomb, Of the United States Observatory,
and signed by many college dignita ries,
will shortly be forwarded to the French
bureau of education. This scheme was
fayorite OF the late DR.. Louis Pasteur,
and receives the hearty support of NJ.

In the department for training nurses
the class is unusually large, and DIR. VIII

hall. After assisting in the treatment Of
any interesting case, they are assembled

LOCAL ATHLETIC GOSSIP
Alumni Gives Substantial Enoour-
agement to the Varsity Team.
Seven Teams Will Probably Go Into
the District mpionship Foot
ball Games IL They Can Get In.

Mr.. X. s. Barrett and Mr.. G L John
SOD, who have taken the task OF raising
the necessary funds for putting the new
Columbian Varsity football team on the
field, are getting along finely. They have
met with much encouragement from all
OF those who have thus far been approached
and expect TO have no trouble In securing
the needed money.
The question who will captain and MAN.
age the varsity men will be determined
this week. There are several men whose
names have been mentioned for captain
but Reeves Lewis seems to he the most like
ly candidate. Lewis has the candidates
for positions on the team in hand, while
the question of permanent officials is peB'l
ing. Last week he got out code OF sig
nails and the nicn are now at study on them.
AS TO who Will be the manager of the
team, is an interesting subject. Mr.. john
son and Mr.. Barrett both have warm sup
porters. They are the spirits that origi-
mated the Varsity team movement and
both are enthusiastic for its success. Mr..
Barrett is the managing editor OF The
Caii, the college paper, nd If he should be-
chosen manager OF the football team would
have to give up his paper work, which he
does not care to do, so 1t is quite prob
able that the control OF the team win fall
to Mr.. johnson.
While a great deal Of praise has been
showered upon both the Crcnts and foio-
macs for the splendid quality OF football
put up by them in their game last We'ines-
day, the Orieuts are not delighted over
the doings OF the Potomacs ON that occ;-
sion, il reports are true. IL is claimed
by the friends Of the Orienis that neither
Bright nor Clark should have been played
by the Potomacs because both of them are
Columbia Athletic Club men, and belong TO
the athletic club team. These tmporta-
tious, it Is said. did much toward keeping
the Potomacs from being beaten.

WHEN 1T COMES TO FINDING FAULT.
This world is full Of people who will never
work a stroke
Thev stand aud watch the others toll. as If It
we're joke;
But it. for lack Of helping hands, the work
should lag or halt,
They show mp very promptly, when IT comes
to finding fault
Their tongues are energetic, but It's all that
they will work
With hand or foot or pocketbook, they al
ways try to shirk
At any earnest labor, they are never worth
their salt
But they'll show you what they're good for,
when it comes to finding fault
They criticise the other man who cannot lift
it all,
But never run to help him, when they see
him faint and fall
You will fud them with the skulkers, IN the
battles fierce assault
But they're right in with the leaders, when
ii comes to finding fault.
But watching other peoples sins is not for
me and you
If We keep pulling at the rope, we'll md
enough to do
And we'd best be mighty careful, lest the
work come to a halt,
By our Joining with the grumolersi wnen u
comes 10 finding fault

stove company of Frankfort, Del Hud-
son recently bought a stove Of the con

return the stove and his note would be
returned to him. Mr. McClimaus went
on Saturday, to collect the note, Hudson
told him the stove was unsatisfactory and
that he wanted his note returned. This

threw it in the fire. He aud the collec-

ended by Hudson, Jr, taking down his
shotgun and firing at McClimans. The
entire load OF large shot eutered his
thigh. The Hudsous then dragged Nc
Climans into the parlor and locked him
in They told him they were going to
look for help to flush him. McClimaus

IN speaking of the handsome things
for the ladies which Mrs S. r. Reedy
has in her beautiful store, it would be
only a waste of time to enumerate. Her
store is even more attractiv ejust now

lust received from the large city markets
a new aud complete line of the latest
and most beautiful goods Of all kinds for
ladies' wear No one can afford to come
to Milford without seeing Mrs. Reedy's
store and inspecting her elegant wares
before going home. Her store is one OF
the most interesting points OF interest in

THE main dynamo at the Electric Light
Station is burned out. On Monday night
last it ceased to do the work required OF
i and now the town is lighted with three
dyuamos and these the little ones. 1t IS
possible that this dynamo may be IN
shape to again do duty by Monday next.
For fear something more serious may
happen it would be well for merchants
and others to get their lamps in readiness
for any or all emergencies. At this sea-
sou of the year, when so many extra lamps
are used, all four of the dyuamos are run
to their greatest capacity. 1t seems very
strange that all the accidents to the light
should occur at Christmas times Our
people have grown to expect something
Of this kind during the busy holiday sea-
son.
