ADMISSION TO WEST POINT.
Superintendent Recommends That
Standard of Educational Re-
quirements he Raised.

Col. A. L. Mills, superintendent Of
the military academy at West Point.
has made his annual report to the adj
jutant general.
lie 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-
tions 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.
fications. 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
n 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'
geous to have the relations between
arithmetic and algebra and geometry
made the same rs 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.

The door of his room was open and he sim

In recent letter from 5000 Michigan av-

"F0r over twenty-five years I
suffered from catarrh. and for
over ten years / suffered from
catarrh Of the stomach terribly.

with catarrh or stomach trouble
Of any kind, don't put 1t OFF and
suffer, but begin to take Peruna
right away, and keep 1t up until
you are cured, as you surely will
be If you persevere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
the country gave her up 10 die, as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better now
than she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as well as she
ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says,

K.u... University Celebrates.

Headed by the state university band,
several hundred students marched
through the streets of Lawrence the
other night and collecting dry goods
boxes and empty barrels along the
way, proceeded to North park, where
they deposited their burdens on the
altar erected in honor of the Kansas
football team and mingled the Rock
Chalk yell with the flames and smoke
of the burning sacrifice. The imme-
date ca,.sc of the demonstration was
the recent overwhelming victory OF the
Jayhawkers over the South Dakotans
and the encouraging reports of the
way in which the Kansas team played
to win the victory. In the previous
games of this season the team has
been deplorably weak in interference,
but in the recent game this losing
factor was entirely eliminated and in
reference was one of the strongest
points of the teams work and the line
was like = stone wall. Another i'm
provement was shown by the absence
of fumbling. which has been one OF
the worst faults Of the playing of the
team.
