DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Richmond correspondent or the
Index-Appeal writes as follows;
The question of the size Of the Demo-
cratic convention seems to be attracting
some attention. 1t is not likely that the
representation will be reduced. Wheh
the committee met last year TO arrange
for the Staunton convention an eIort
was made to reduce the number OF ueie-
Gates bv one half. This stirred up
storm of objections, and the proposition
received very few votes. 1t was con-
tended that II would be better TO have
as many delegates as possible In oruer
that the enthusiasm one sometimes I'M
bibes at the conventions might De Wiue-
" distributed. The conventions lot seNe-
raj years have been composed OF aDou.
1000 delegates and it will be found most
difficult to effect change in the OASIS
of representation.
One does not hear great deal here now
about shutting the Gold Democrats out
~ tho urinary. Some who favored such
a nlan a short time ago now say II
would be an unwise thing to do. They
believe IL would be better TO invite AL
good citizens who are willing 10 pledge
themselves to support the nominee 10 par
ticinate in the nominating meetings
some of the members Of the City Demo-
cratic Committee who favored the eA-
clusion of the Democrats who refused 10
vote for Bryan are now Wiling 10 ad-
NIT them. ,,.,..s
II is practically settled that Richmond
will make no fight for ue convention
An invitation will be extended the pody
IN meet here. but Richmond will not
anita gonize the claims of any other city.
should the committee think 1t wise 70
select Richmond. the local committee WEI
make annie arrangements for the en-
tortainrnent of the body. The last time
the convention met here was in 1873,
when O'Ferral was nominated for Gov
ernor.
we do not think Richmond Will
care 70 make a eight" for the conven-
ton. But the invitation we send 10
the state Committee ought TO make II
clear that we would feel honored II the
committees choice fell upon our city.
In short. If. in the judgment of the State
Committee Richmond is the best place
for the convention. the committee may
he sure that the delegates will be warm
" welcomed here. and that suitable ar
ranqements will be made for their COM
Portable accommodation
As TO the size of the convention, We
would recommend that each member OF
the state Committee feel the pulse OF
the neople. This they may easily do
and so when the committee Is called upon
70 act. members will have accurate IN
formation as TO popular opinion upon the
subiect. But if what is termed "deloe-
rative body" is really sought for, neither
q convention of 100 members, nor one

which to do its work, yet only by courtesy

MEANING HOMER.

In discussing I'm the Nation the ques-
ton Of securing for our colleges uni
formIty OF entrance requirements, Pro-
lessor Addison Hogue, OF Washington
and Lee University, makes some strong
points against using Homer as one OF
the authors to be read by boys preparing
for college This practice, Professor
Hogue contends. is opposed to every
sound educational maxim and IL
pedagogical mistake of the first magni-
tude. In what other study. he asks, do
We find such an extraordinary violation
OF natural procedure as this way OF
passing at once from Xenophons Ana
basis" to Homer-from the work Sc
lected as the easiest for beginners TO the
one that is at the furthest remove In
all the things important for beginner,
save i'm the one matter of simplicity Of
tie ideas presented?
In Greek. as well as In Latin or
French or German. continues Professor
Hogue, the beginner should be kept
at work in the standard dialect until his
acquaintance with It is fairly satisfac-
other dialect, Is 1t not sound sense, and
therefore sound pedagogy. TO take up
the one that will create the minimum OF
wrench between the old and the new?
This means that the natural transition
from Attic prose is to Herodotus, and
surely the themes Of which he wrote are
as well worth reading as are those IN
Homer. But when a boy reads three or
four books of the Anabasis' ana Is
then put into Homer. he finds himself
almost in a new language, with no sure
guide as to forms or syntax, and he
soon begins guessing process which
takes the place of steady and orderly
progression"
As TO the defence Of the colleges that
the school teachers cling to Homer Pro-
fessor Hogue effectually demoishes that'
in the declaration that If the colleges
will quit examining on Homer for en-
trance the schools will quit teaching IT,
II is not to be understood, however
that Professor Hogue would taboo tine
author of the Had and the odyssey
Rv no means. He would reserve Homer
for a late period in the Greek course
in order that the student, having ac-
quired a vocabulary based on Auto
prose. Herodotus, and the tragedians.
may read it with fair measure OF reai
enjoyment and appreciation.
There is no question that forcing the
beginner in Greek to read Homer ope-
rates in many cases like forcing scnool-
how 70 parse !"Slilton's Paradise Lost
Neither Milton nor Homer is ever opened
after the boy leaves school. Neither Is
ever read at the mature age at which
he would be capable of UNDERSTANDING
its literary beauties and its sublimity
of thought. Each is to him bug-oear'
Not long ago we heard one of the most
brilliant and accomplished men OF our
acquaintance remark that at school ne
never got any further in Milton than the
first line of Paradise Lost" and that
he had never gotten any further since
