propriated $4,000 for this purpose.

the Commissioners some time ago the as
ISOLATION recommended certain tracts of

PRACTICAL PROGRESS.

Not only has the cause OF higher educs-
tion made wonderful strides in recen,
years.. but higher education has been
placed on u mbre general plane--in the
reach OF all--and. the browning glory OF
4 all is, that as educational facilities have
broadened and deepened education has be-
como much more practical.
One OF the strong evidences OF this
pieErcss Is the difference In the charac-
ter OF subjects discussed by tho GRADUATE
Ing Young men OF tho colleges through
out every section of the country.
\ few years back the great characters
81 ancient times and the wonderful hls-
soflc events OF past centuries alone en-
