Agunaldo denies any responsibility for
the commencement OF hostilities at Ma
Mia. He asserts that the fighting was
commenced without any orders from him
and without his knowledge, and that as
soon as he learned of it he ordered his
men to maintain the peace and sent a
message to General Otis explaining the
situation and asking for cessation of
hostilities. There is but little room to
doubt that the fighting was commenced
by the Americans under advices from
Washington for the purpose Of promoting
the ratification of the treaty Of peace
which was then before the senate and
known to be two votes short Of the re-
quisite number to ratify the same. A
censored cable is wonderful thing in
the hands Of an administration under
the control OF Hanna, Elkins & Co.

AT the Tuesday night meeting OF
Bethel Literary and Historics al Associa'
| tion held at Lincoln Memorial Congre-
gationaii church, Proi. George M,
ghtfoot, of Howard University, pre-
sented an able paper on 'The Eunc-
ton of Language" 1t was most I'M
poTtant contribution to the literature
OF the hour and touched dsepIy a line
of investigation that is prominent IN
| the public mind. The production was
heartily enjoyed by q large and intel
leciual gathering. Prof. Lightfoot said
in part.
In these days when all society Is so
much engsossed In material progress,
when there is such pronounced
tendency to determine the value of
every social force by its power to pro-
duce dollars and cents, when we nave
such spoken and visible arguments
showing the far-reaching benefits which
the masses receive from industrial edu.
cation, and when time has become the
scaTcest OF human posse ssions, it is no
great wonder that those who advocate
and support the higher culture are
constantly called upon to show the
value, not only OF the higher education
as whole, but also OF the various
branches included under this deslg-
nation.
In this paper 1 propose TO discuss the
function OF language in the secondary
and in the higher education. Obviously
there can be no ques ion as TO the
function Of at least one language viz.
ones vernacular-in every stage Of edu-
cation whether it be primary, second
ary, or higher, for as Whitney, the
most distinguished of American philolo
gists truly remarks: "Learning to speak
Is the first necessary step in every
child's education and the necessary
preparation for receiving higher in
struction of every kind. SO was il with
the human race, the acquisition of
language constituted the first stage IN
the progressive development Of its Ca
pacities." 1t is clear, then, that no
argument Is needed to convince one OF
the Importance OF thorough famili-
arity with Gne's own tongue as an in
dispensable vehicle OF all thought. The
burden of this paper, then, is to show
the function of the foreign languages
in the secondary and the higher edu-
cation.
In our secondary schools and in col-
leges, the foreign languages studied
may be divided into two classes: the
ancient and the modern; under the
term ancient languages, We generally
include only Greek and Latin. though
Hebrew, Ssnskrit, and many others
belong to this clRes. The modern lang
uages for oCr purposes are made TO In
cIude the German, representing the
Teutonic branch OF the family Of lang
uages and closely AKIN to the English,
and the Romance languages which are
derived from the Latin. The most
widely studied OF the latter group Is
French, though Italian and Spanish
come IN for no small amount of at
tention. From this custom of study.

seen that IL / can show the value Of

higher education, [ shall meet all the

how Greek and Latin became the most
