There has been good deal said about the
recent death of a young man in Georgia
from injuries received in d football game
but the most interesting expression on the
subject comes from his mother. In letter
to her representative in the Georgia Legis-
lature she expresses -tl1e hope that it will
not pass bill now pending prohibiting the
game. She says:
1t would be the greatest favor to the fam
lily OF Won Cannon if your influence could
prevent his death from being used as an ar
gument detrimental to the athletic cause
and its advancement at the university. His
love for his college and his interest in man
~ sports, without which he deemed the
highest type of manhood impossible. is well
known by his classmates and friends, and
1t would be lnexpreSSibly sad to have the
cause he held so dear injured by his sac
ritce. Grant me the right to request that
my boys death should not. be used to de-
feat the most cherished object of his life.
She expresses the belief that college au-
thorities and the players themselves can be
trusted to make such changes in the rules
of the game as may be necessary, but hopes
that it will not be prohibited. Under the
circumstances the lady must be accorded
the credit of taking a broad view.

Cooking Potatoes.
Meahan'S MONTHLY.

1t is generally supposed that knowledge

take the fact that d person has had expert

lamentable fact that, in the vast majority
of cases. experience is no teacher. One
would suppose that If experience led 10
such good results. well-cooked potatoes
would be seen everywhere; yet a thorough
ly weil-cooked potato is a rarity. Just now
discussions are going on in the Old world,
in papers devoted 70 household subjects,
as to the proper way TO cook potato, and
1t is amazing TO read the vast variety OF
opinions concerning the proper method in
which 10 make this vegetable presentable.
There is one point, however, which is clear
to every one. and should not be overlooked;
it is that nothing is so disagreeable as
potato that comes TO your plate in a sod
den condition. it Is the practice to place
them under cover at once on being taken
out of the water in order 10 KEEP them hot.
The steam condenses, in this case, which

Certain camps of e. Confederate veterans
an Virginia have prepared and are circu-
lating a memorial to tie Legislature ask
ing for the passage of law requiring the
flag of the State to be raised over every
schoolhouse in Virginia, as the flag of the
United States is in the District of Columbia.
the Territories and many of the States of
the Union. The memorial declares that
such a plan will ''inculcate the spirit of
patriotism and state pride in the minds of
the coming generation" These ex-Confed-
crate veterans are engaged in poor business.
Virginia has no use for state flag, and
the less seen or heard of it the better. The
flag that should wave over the schoolhouses
is the one that protects Americans at home
and abroad, the flag Of the United States.
THAT represents the kind of patriotism that
should be inculcated in Virginia.

A Valuable Horticultural Library.

One who possesses a rare collec-
tion of books pertaining to his chosen
profession is rich indeed
Prof. Corbett has recently come
into possession of the private library
Of the late Prof. +. G. Lodeman, of
Cornell University. Prof. Lodeman
was an ardent student and a reputed
bibliolater, his collections were from
the best writer's of America, England,
France and Germany. The library
while not large is of great value as
each book is the result of personal
selection while the owner was in
the various countries from which
they came. Prof. Lodeman was CO.
worker with our Prof. Corbett while
he was connected with Cornell Uni
versity as an instructor and the
bond of union between them did
much toward placing bis library in
its present hands. Thisin addition
to the library already possessed by
Prof Corbett, will it is said, give
him the third best private library on
Horticulture in the U. s., better
ones being owned by Professors L. H.
Bailey, of Cornell University, and
Prof j. l.. Budd, of the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, who owns the ex-
tensive collections of the late
Chas. Downing, one of Americas
greatest horticulurists.

Public Schools Close.

The closing exercises of the Pub
lie Schools were not at all elaborate
this year. There was no general
celebration but each room held such
exercises as the tastes of the various
teachers directed There were nc
graduates. This was caused by a
combination of causes. In fhe first
place more work had been put in the
senior year than usual and might
have prevented them from finishing
the course satisfactorily. But the
fire causing a break right in the
midst of the session was probably
the real cause This made it hard
to get to work again and consequent
ly Prof. Brand in his report stated
that he could recommend no one for
graduation this year.
The work done in the High School
Was not up to the average although
the other rooms show satisfactory
reports. The weather being cool
helped great deal as it made it
possible to do lots of hard work and
kept the little ones from becoming
impatient. The whole year has been
a prosperous one and some very
good work has been done in the face
of obstacles which would almost APP
pear insurmountable. For this the
corps Of teachers deserve the thanks
Of all the patrons and they have
them. All credit to Prof. Brand and
his able corps Of assistants. .

Presbyterians and the University,

There will be meeting in the
Presbyterian church of Morgantown
to-day, June Sth, at | 80 p. m. for
the purpose of forming Presbyter-
ian Association. This is not merely
a local movement. The last two
General Assemblies of the church
recognized the Importance Of doing
something for the better care of stu
dents in secular institutions Of
learning, and directed the synods to
give immediate attention to the
whole subject. The Synod of
Pennsylvania to which this region
belongs, appointed committee to
visit our University, and report to
the Synod what the Presbyterians
were doing here for their students.
1t is expected that the Association
to be formed to-day will inaugurate
lines of work that will insure the
better personal supervision of stu
dents, and the giving to them of bet
ter opportunities for moral and spir-
itual culture. Representative men
will be here from Pittsburg, West
ern Pennsylvania and different parts
Of our own State.

will be witnessed the eliminating
point in the scholastic life Of a num-

Of those hearing the words will be
inclined to scott at the orators and
belittle their ability. Many of us
are inclined to laugh at the crude
ness of the graduate and sneer at
his first attempts in the arena Of life
He is regarded as half baked
youngster but little higher than the
boy in knickerbockers and unworthy
the consideration of full grown men.
This idea is erroneous needless to
say. With all his defects and de
ficiencies he is in many respects
worthy Of our respect. Time will
speedily cure his drawbacks and the
intercourse with the world which is
now to be his will soon remove the
angles about his personality. His
many excellent qualities are often
overlooked. In most instances he is
bright fellow much above the av-
erage He has had the advantage
of association with learned men and
people OF culture and refinement
He has sharpened his wit by con
tact with other bright fellows has
broadened his horizon and deepened
his intellect by his life amongst his
books. His equipment is not at al
beggarly and his advent into lift
finds him more fortunate than many
who are among his unwilling de
tractors.
