State Beard OF Education.

After a long fight the state board
of education has agreed to allow
teachers life licenses to graduates
of other institutions than the state
normal school at Terre Haule.
BY the new ruling, all graduates
OF higher institutions of learning in
Indiana or other institutions OF
equal rank in o her states approved
by the board, shall be entitled to
life licenses on complying with
certain conditions, one o. which is
they must have held at least one
sixty mo this license. They must
also pass examinations in number
Of pedagogical subjects.
The plan just adopted by the
board does not do away with nor
interfere with previously adopted
rules. 1t is merely a recognition
OF the scholarly attainments Of the
graduates of the higher institutions
OF learning whose work is acknowl-
edged to be superior.
The professional examinations
will not be held in each of the
ninety-two counties as heretofore,
but in few Of the mo accessible
rities only, among them being Fl.
Wayne, Indianapolis, Terre Haute,
Evansville, Valparaiso, Greensburg
and Richmond.
OIe piece OF work done by the
board was their determination TO
continue in use for five years longer

ADHESION TO WEST POINT.
Superintendent Recommends That
Standard of Educational Re.
Iutremcnts BE Raised

Col. a. L.. Mills, superintendent Of
the military academy at West Point,
has made his annual report to the adj
jutant general.
He devotes the greater part of his
report to an earnest plea for the ele-
walton of the standard of admission
to West Point, to which end he sug-
gests that the secretary of war be
empowered to prescribe these require
ments. He lays particular stress upon
the fact that the entrance eXamina-
tons at present correspond closely to
the educational qualifications of pupils
of the public schools just emerging
from the primary grades. According
to the commissioner of education,
pupils of an average age of 14h years
in the public schools have these quail
ticatons. Yet the average age of the
applicant to West Point is above, and
boys at that time of life should be
equipped with high school education,
including subjects which are not now
part of the entrance examination at
West Point but which should be in
the future. The superintendent says
it would be in every way advanta-
geons to have the relations between
arithmetic and algebra and geometry
made the same as now exists in the
public schools. There is no desire
that the entrance examinations should
be made more difficult, but only that
it should require what the public
schools of the country supply,

Col. w. p. Rend has returned to
Chicago from Il two months visit to
Europe. confident that the nations of
he old world will have to look to this
country more and more for their coal
supplies, and with a firm belief that
the great natural resources of this
country are certain to give il a stead
lily increasing prominence in the mar
kctS of the world.
"Therc is no doubt that American
coal is to be in steadily increasing de-
mnnd in Europe" he said. "Tht de-
maud is there now. and there is .
ready market for every pound of our
coal The English coal fields are be-
coming so difficult and expensive to
work hat it is Impossible for that
country successfully to compete with
our coal much longer. Prices of coal
there have Doubled within the last IS
months. and so alarmed have the Eng

which carries with it most serious
menace to their steel ana iron manu-

are advocating an export tax on coal

the night progressed it only served to con-

on the other hand the returns from In

and wyoming, as we'll as Nebraska, seemed
70 indicate strong republican gains over
1886. Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
ginla had given decisive republican plural

arrived to indicate that the republicans
have elected their state and national tick

elected. The cities generally gave slight
democratic gains, which were offset by
the rural republican gains.

candidates have been elected. Chairman
Huffman, of the democratic committee,
claims the election of Mr.. Vollmer in the
