their functions with such 'earnestness that
educational methods may be freed from all
errors. - ss 1
THE schools under the direct control OF
the Government serve as models to all the
public and private educational institutions
throughout the country. 1t is therefore my
earnest desire that the behavior of the stu
dents at such schools should be regulated
with notably strict regard to the canons
of propriety, so that they may show them
selves worthy of the station they occupy.
The dtse of the operation of the revised
treaties is now imminent and his Imperial
Majesty has issued gracious script 1t
may be expected that the coming and going
of foreigners in the interior of the country
will henceforth grow more frequent, and
if at such time students be left without
proper control, and suffered to neglect the
dictates of propriety by cherishing senti-
ments of petty arrogance and behaving IN
violent, outrageous, or vulgar manner,
not only will the educational system be
brought into discredit, but also the prestige
of the country will be impaired, and its
reputation may even be destroyed. For
that reason I have addressed an instruction
to the local governors urging them to guard
against any defects in educational methods,
and 1 am now constrained to appeal to the
Government schools which serve for mod
els l trust that those upon whom the
functions of direction and teaching devolve.
paying respectful attention to the august
intention will discharge their duties care
fully toward the students, and by secur-
ing the latter's strict adherence to the
rules. will contrive that they shall serve
as a worthy example to the schools
throughout the country"

DEwEY's WELCOME HOME.
The New York Naval Demonstration
Captain Evans, Work.

AS many warships now, under repairs as
can be made ready in time will be sent
to New York to participate in the naval
demonstration in honor of Admiral Dewey.
Orders have been sent by the Navy De-
partment to the confnandant of the Bos
ton navy yard to have the work expedited
on the Bancroft Marietta, Topeka, Nash
Vile, Vieksburg, and Osceola, SO tEat they
will be ready to take part in the naval
parade. The department also hopes 10
have the captured Spanish gun6oats Al
vardo and Sandoval put in sea going con-
dition in time to be in New York on Sep
tember 28. These two vessels are now at
Portsmouth, N. II. The department has
decided that too much risk will attend the
towing of the frigate Constitution (Old
Ironsides) from Boston to New York, and
the famous old ship will therefore not be
present at the Dewey ceremonies.
Captd fRobley ID. Evans, who went to
New York to consult with the Dewey re-
ception committee as a representative of
the Navy Department, returned to Wash
ington yesterday and had an interview
with Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen.
Captain Evans arranged with the New
York committee that the Dewey reception
should be a naval affair throughout, even
in the land parade. The bluejackets from
the Olympia are to act as guard of honor
to Admiral Dewey, and will have the right
of the line. Directly after them will cone
the bluejackets and marines of the North
Atlantic squadron The purely military
feature of the parade will follow the naval
contingent. 1t was arranged also by Cap
tain Evans, under instructions from the
Navy Department, that Admiral Samp-
sons squadron should meet the Olympia
at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, and not
out at sea. A space four hundred yards
wide will be kept clear in New York Bay
for the naval parade. If Admiral Howl
sons flagship, the cruiser Chicago. sho1ld
arrive at New York in time to participate
in the Ceremonies in honor of Admiral
Dewey on September 2S, there may be
some embarrassment over the fact that
Admiral Howison is senior to Admiral
Sampson, and would by virtue of seniority
have command of all the United States
vessels assembled to meet the Olympia.
The Chicago is due at Tompkinsviiie on
October /. but it is thought at the Navy
Department that Admiral Howison may
curtail his itinerary a few days in order
to be present there when the Olympia ar
riyes.
