Oberlin College in Ohio has played a
remarkable and most important part in
the history of American education. It's
noteworthy services as a centre of the
antislavery agitation. and its courage in
giving women the same opportunities
which 1t gave men, at a time when such
treatment was elsewhere unknown, are
we'll remem bered But its general SER
vices as a seat OF the higher education,
sending out thousands OF sturdy men
and women into all the higher walks of
life In our central states, and as the
| source of unnumbered good social in
nuences have been memorable. 1t is
proud story and Professor 6. Frederick
Wright, who tells the story in the finely
illustrated article on Ooerlin in the Sep
TENDER number of the New England Mag
azine, is justified in all his enthusiasm.
A new era for the old college seems be-
ginning, as Rev. John Henry Barrows
now assumes it's presidency; and all
friends Of Oberlin Will welcome this
splendid presentation at this time OF what
their college has been and what it is to-
day.
The September issue of McCIure's
Magazine contains, among several articles,
the concluding paper OF Lieut.. Comman-
der James g. Gilmore's A Prisoner
Among Filiplnos The author describes
in detail the means by which he dis
suaded a Filipino general from executing
the enti' party, the way in which the
illness OF a Tagal officer prevented the
slaughter Of his prisoners, how Filipino
lieutenant on seeing a cruoifix disobeyed
orders and thereby enabled them to es-
cape being put to death, and how the
band was at last rescued by American
troops from bloodthirsty armed savages.
The narrative reads like page from
Robinson Crusoe. The Illustrations bv
W. II. Leigh are spirited and life-like.
These pictures are almost If not quite in
the same class with Charles X. knights
Incompatible pictures of lions In the
same number Ihe Illustrations to The
Training OF Lions are doubtless the best
portraits of the king Of the brute creation
that have ever appeared in print. The
article contains some most interesting
anecdotes Of hair-breadth escapes of
trainers from the animals in their charge
There Is also an exceedingly interesting
article by IGx-Secretary Boutwell, on An
Historic Sale of Bonds in England, and
one by Ray Staynard Baker describing
