Richmond daily palladium., 1900-03-05

At the closing session of the schoO
superintendents convention in Chi
cago President Benjamin Ide Wheel
err of the University of California
delivered an address on 1.-THE Place
of Sec ,ndary Schools. He made q
vigorous protest against what be
designated as a tendency toward
slayish imitation OF collegiate life on
the part of high schools. +" DIR.
Wheeler's point is well taken and his
protest is timely. A laudable effort
to create enthusiasm in high school
work by competition, athletic fea-
lures and "class spirit" has gradual
ly become perverted not only to "a
slavish imitation of college life" but
o menace to the fundamental pur-
pose of the common school system.
There seems to be no limit to this
tendency. One high school in Chi
cago has lately added boxing to its
regular athletic exercises The next
step will probably be prize fighting
Thus the high school is gradually
being metamorphosed into a bear
garden. No doubt the military fea-
ture in the modern high school has
something to do with this tendency.
1t certainly has the effect to draw
class lines.

Few people would require the ser
vices of practical Snowman to emu
merate the really good minstrel
shows prominent before the public
during the last decade. for they are
so few that any gallery-god can name
them at better gait than Imp ran
the Suburban. But the prominence
of the titles of these organizations
have not predominated over the name
of the manager who was responsible
for the creations with these various
enterprises. Just as surely as you
can name a meritorious Minis trel or
ganization, equally positive can you
be of the fact that at some time in its
career the name of John W. Nogel
was heralded as its manager, for
John has directed the tours of every
large minstrel company every organ
lied. This season Mr.. Nogel
presents John w. Vogel and
Arthur Deming's Big Minstrels, a
pretentious organization of fifty
members, prominent among whom
are Arthur Deming, Ollie Young,
Bentham & Byrne, John Queen, the
three Petits and others.
The vocal chntingent comprises
eight prominent sOlolStS, including
Master George Jones, the famous
boy baritone. Lew Scott is in charge
of the silver cornet band, while the
double symphony orchestra is di-
rected by the well known composer
and arranger, e. l.. Wayne.
1t has not been our good fortune
to see this performance given by
Vogel's new enterprise, but hardly a
day passes without our noting a
clever criticism in some exchange.
The company is scheduled to arrive
here via the Panhandle at 3:45 p. IN
in their own train of palace sleeping,
dining and baggage cars, and a big
street parade half hour later and a
great minstrel show in the evening
at the Gennett theatre is assured.

The whole country, through the
of local papers and in
terviews, has had its say on
the Porto Rican tariff bill 1t is
very plain that q large majority
OF the people are opposed to the meas
ure. To what extent their minds
may be changed by further and fuller
explanations of the action of the
President and the house on the sub.
ject remains to be seen. But mean
while Republicans should bear one
thing in mind. The enemies of the
party are working this unfortunate
circumstance for all there is in it.
Out of the apple of discord thrown
among US they are trying
to make mountain, Juba Hill, as
it were. On the eve of a great cam
paign they aim to foment confusion
in our councils and demoralize our
forces. Shall we aid them in this
purpose or close up our ranks to de
feat it? Let us not forget that what
ever the final decision may be as to
the status OF our insular possessions
the President and the members of
the house who supported the Porto
Rican tariff bill are as good Repub-
licans as the country affords. Indiana
never had an abler and truer Repub-
lican delegation in congress than
she has today. It is not to be
doubted for q moment that were
their places filled by any other equal
number of leading Republicans from
this state they would occupy the
same position on the Porto Rican
question as those hold who are there
now. Whatever lack of harmony
there is between our Republican con-
gressmen and their constituents evil
IDENTITY grows out Of the difference in
point of view. Il would be cruelty
unjust therefore for Republicans to
join in the TRADE of abuse and in
sinuation that is being indulged in
by Democratic and 'independept'
papers. There is no occasion whatever
for historical expression or action
with regard to the Republican con-
gressmen who voted for or against
the Rorto Rican bill Those who
voted for it are just as good Repub-
icans as they were before the vote
was taken, and those who voted
against it are no better. Any talk
about changes in congressional NOM
nations or in the gubernatorial race
on account OF the vote on the Porto
Rican bill is mere bosh.
