The Boston Journal is bringing the
people and events OF the day wildly be-

RAYMOND ROGERS"
"REAfEY."

Pinnacle Rock, where the Oregon ran
aground, is about 25 feet high, and lies
three and two-thirds miles south of
Howki island, and about a mile and
quarter north northeast off the Is
tand of Siao Lu Han. The rock is en-
circled by shoal, and should not be
approached nearer than three cables.
According to the photographic bureau
officials, there is a strong current from
three to five knots speed always prev
alent in this vicinity, and this fact,
together with the dense fog that pre-
vailed at the time, greatly enhanced
the danger of navigating the Oregon.
The officials of the naval photograph
er's Office say there is a great rise and
fall of the tide at this point (about
ten feet), and it is possible that the
Oregon may be lifted off in this way
and set afloat without assistance.

There is one significant fact which
bears on the question of college edu'
cation for girls. 1t is that all the
American women who have won dis
tinction in original work of any kind,
received the old-fashioned training.
College-bred women, so far, have been
successful only as teachers. Is this
because the woman in one case was
suffered to develop naturally, like a
growing tree, and in the other was
nodded artificially the same as is
one brick in heap of bricks?
