LATIN AND GREEK AS SCHOOL
STUDIES.

The classical section of the Teachers
Association had an intelligent discussion of
the relative merits of ancient and modern
languages as school studies The question
has been much discussed, and probably
will continue to be without being perma-
nently settled. 1t is one of the questions
of which much may be said on both sides,
and which cannot be settled by any hard
and-fast rule. Systematic study of any
language is good mental training, and from
this point of view the more difficult the
language the better. 1t tends to liberalize
the mind. and If pursued far enough it
opens up new fields of literature, though,
as far as that is concerned. pretty much
all that is worth reading in any language
has been translated into the English. A
very common and perhaps the strongest
argument in favor of studying Latin and
Greek is that they enter so largely into
the composition of the English, and par
ticularly of the nomenclature of science
1t is undoubtedly true that the more one
knows OF the ancient languages the more
accurate and critical will be his knowl-
edge of the modern, and especially of the
language of science. 1t is difficult to see
how a man can be broadly learned in the
modern sense without at least a fairly
good knowledge Of Latin and Greek. In
some of the so-called learned professions
such knowledge is almost indispensable.
The stock argument in favor of the modern
languages as against the ancient is that
knowledge of them is a valuable aid in
business and commerce. This view is in
harmony with the mercantile spirit of the
age. but 1T is not high view nor a strong
argument If this were the only benefit
TO be derived from studying modern Ian
guages the argument would hardly be
worth pressing. No doubt a knowledge Of
several modern languages is of consider
able commercial value in many careers,
yet one may possess such knowledge and
still be a very ignorant person. Sailors
and commercial travellers sometimes learn
to speak several languages fuently with
out knowing much besides. No person
with a corresponding knowledge of the
ancient languages could possibly be un-
cultured
Several years before he was elected Pres
ident OF the United States Hon. James A.
Garfield delivered a college address on
Ancient Languages and Modern Pedan-
try" in which he deprecated the undue
prominence given TO the study OF Latin and
Greek in modern colleges and the me-
chanical methods OF teaching them. and
expressed his belief that unless their rela-
tons 10 college studies were readjusted

this connection 1t may be said that a great
number of people who are not informed
regarding the influences which have affect
ed Congress so strongly in favor of the
Nicaragua route are at a loss to under
stand the cause of the hostility TO the
Panama route. The commission. which
spent large amount of money in con-
sidering the merits of the two routes
made report which was something of a
puzzle. The abstract Of the report showed
that the Panama is the shorter and the
cheaper route, cutting the isthmus at it's
narrowest place. The report made the cost
of the Panama canal much cheaper than
the Nicaragua. The Panama would have
no locks, while the Nicaragua presents
many expensive features because of the
elevation of the territory To the Panama
there are some objections in the character
Of the eastern terminus. Nevertheless, with
most of the advantages apparently in favor
of the Panama route, the commission de-
cided in favor of the Nicaraguan. When
Congress shall take up the topic it is hoped
that some light will be thrown upon a
subject much in the dark.

LAST OF AN OLD FORT.
wisconsin's Most Historic Building i'm
Progress of Demolition.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Before the dawn of the first day of the
new year all that remains of historic Fort
Crawford at Prairie du Chen Wis, will
have been destroyed. Workmen are tear
ing away the massive old walls which long
ago sheltered all who sought refuge be-
hind them. For a century and a half they
have withstood the ravages Of time and
the attacks of the painted Indian warrior.
Fort Crawford is relic of long ago;
around its barren ruins is grouped more
history than at any other place in Wiscon-
sin; it is, indeed, a thing of history-rO-
mantle, bloody and priceless.
Even before the Dickax Of the first work
men clicked against the crumbling masonry
there was but little left of the famous old
fort. Barren and alone, like towering senti-
nels guarding it's sacred secrets, two walls
of the fort hospital remain. The remainder
of the once imposing series Of massive
buildings have been entirely destroyed; they
lie in weed-grown heap or rocky ruins
like a fallen and neglected monument of
fame The stone walls fast falling
to decay, but the deep, narrow windows
and the battle-scarred buttresses still re-
main
Toward the Mississippi which flows past
a few rods distant, is gnarled and stunted
oak tree. 1t is so near the old fort that
shadow upon the barren walls. This alone
will remain TO mark the spot where at one
time many Of the most famous soldiers of
the American army fought
To the lover of the historic and romantic
there is something cruel about the de-
struction of the remains OF old Fort Craw-
ford. To the residents of Prairie du Chen,
who for years have seen and thought little
of the past of the dilapidated old walls,
it is a hard, cold business proposition.
They see no reason why sentiment should
retard the progress Of their city. They
can see nothing to be gained in the pres
ence of the staring sentinels of stone.
But a few rods north from the site of
the fort hidden from the casual glance by
the thick growth of rank weeds, and made
more obscure by the presence of broken
down fences, is the old federal cemetery.
There is no hand TO strew flowers upon
the graves of the heroes whose remains
lie there. 1t is place of mysterious sur
. roundings and is avoided and Stunned.
The massive old fort proper has long
since been torn down and upon it's site now
stands the beautiful st. Mary's Academy.
| Where the report of the sentry's gun once
! startled the wilderness now is heard the
! peaceful tones of the convent bell.
! Historic value has been set aside, modern
/ progress will triumph. Soon by the laboIs
| of the toiers who are now directing their
/ efforts toward destruction the material will
| be eliminated and old Fort Crawford Will
/ pass into history.

While Senator Sewell, of New Jersey,
who died yesterday, had not been so prom
inent a figure before the country as some
others in the Senate, in soundness of ju6g-
ment and influence he had few superiors
in that body of able men. He was man
whose assistance could be counted upon
for salutary measures. He enjoyed the
confidence of the best men in the Republi-
can party for twenty-five years. His high
character and abilities were so recognized
in New Jersey that he was the acknowl-
edged head of the party in that State. In
the best sense of the term General Sewell
was a self-made man. He came from
Ireland to this country in boyhood; was
"a gallant soldier during the entire war.
and rose to the highest position he could
attain in the national councils.

During the Harrison administration
Col John w. Foster, or this State, acting
under the authority OF the State Depart
ment. negotiated a very important trade
agreement with Spain for the products OF
Cuba. The advantage given TO Cuban su-
gars gave Us in return an advantage over
other competitors for all our products. In
two years We secured nearly all Of the i'm
ports 10 Cuba. valued then at 100000 ,OOO It
was one OF the best results OF real reci-
procity Mr.. Cleveland was elected and
the tariff policy was changed. and among
the changes was the abolition OF the trade
arrangements with Cuba and other coun-
tries. Reciprocity of that character did not
appeal 70 free traders. The result was that
the trade which We had secured from Cuba
through reciprocity was lost and has
not been regained. II is safe To say
that IL Will not be long until a reciprocal
treaty Is made with Cuba under which the

Hartford COurant.
Col. \. S. Buford makes public in the
Richmond Dispatch a letter written to
him in the early summer OF 1873 by the
late Thomas T. Giles, a son of Virginias
Governor, and Senator William b. Giles.
In this letter the writer OF it relates that
in January, 1893, he TOOK stage at Hanover
Courthouse for Richmond. John c. Calhoun
was one of his fellow passengers. At hrst
the great Carolinian sat with closed eyes
as though asleep, but his hands were
clenched and they occasionally shook with
great violence" Later there was talk about
Publication and the tariff. in which Mr..
Calhoun Joined. After the stage had left
Fredericks burg he asked Giles whether he
knew a place in Georgia called Atlanta.
Giles confessed ignorance. Mr. Calhoun said
he was not surprised. Atlanta was as yet
a very small place-just a tavern, a black
smiths shop and perhaps a store or two.
But il was fortunate in its location; the
railroads 10 be built east and west Of the
Alleghanes would have 10 go 10 Atlanta
TO turn the mountains; IL was bound 70
become a place of consequence; one day
there would be a railroad from Richmond
10 Atlanta, and IL would run through Giles ;
home county. Giles was so much impressed
that on his return home he began preach
ing the Richmond * Atlanta Railroad. AZ
did not materialiZe until forty odd years
later, but then il closely followed the line
traced by Mr.. Calhoun In that stagecoach
talk in 1898.

A Washington report asserts that it is
not yet so certain that the Nicaragua route
for the canal will be adopted by Congress,
since more favorable offers by the Panama
company may lead TO a change. 1t is now
asserted that the Panama company will
take 100000 for it's property. II such
an offer had been made earlier the proba-
bility is that ii would have been accepted.
II is reported that the House favors the
Nicaragua route but that leading senators
are disposed to favor the Panama on the
ground that it is the better route. In

The New York Journal of Commerce sent
circulars to 1900 leading business men in
various parts of the country requesting
their views regarding proposed changes in
the bankruptcy law. In the circular was
the statement that If the men receiving it
did not respond it would be assumed that
they favor the law as 1t now stands Less
than 1000 answers were returned, so it is
fair to assume that the large majority are
fairly satisfied with the present law or do
not care enough for a change to state it.

Now that 1t is barely possible that Secre-
tary Long may leave the Cabinet, Washing
ton gossip attests that many persons in
official circles viii be glad to have him
leave because he has never entertained.
Thus it appears that entertaining is one of
the qualifications OF an able secretary. Sec
rotary Long is a man Of limited means with
an invalid wife. For more than a year a
daughter was an invalid. and finally died.
Instead OF thinking meanly OF the secretary
of the navy for not assuming expenses for
entertaining which he could not meet with
out harming himself most people will re-
spect his manly independence.

Much has been said of the difference in
the amount of prize money which Admirals
Sampson and Schley received, and in a tone
to give the impression that such disparity
was due to the favoritism of the Navy De-
partment. There is a difference between
prize and bounty money-the former being
money paid for ships captured and sold by
order of the admiralty court, while the lat
ter is paid by the treasury for warships
of the enemy destroyed. OF bounty money
Admiral Schley gets $500 or nearly half
as much as Sampson. The remainder Of
SIMPSONS award of over $4,000, and that
of the captains who were with his fleet all
the time, was for merchant prizes taken
and sold during the campaign. This is why
SIMPSONS award is so much larger than
that of Schley. The important fact is that
the awards are made by the Court of
Claims. To that court came the question
of who was in command of the fleet at the
battle of Santiago before it could make
awards, and it decided in favor of Samp-
son. This was one reason why the ques-
ton Of who was in command at the battle
of Santiago was not submitted TO the court
of inquiry 1t had been decided by a legal
tribunal.

School statistics show that in 1900 Indiana
contained 756,OO4 children of school age
S9O7S7 boys and S65,217 girls. Out of this
number the total number of pupils enrolled
during the year was 564 SO7, leaving 191.197
children of school age not in school. Of
these some were too young to have started
in school, some had quit after partial
course and some were truants. There is
evidently room for the enforcement of the
compulsory law. However, this State made
a better showing in respect Of enrolment
than Massachusetts did, as 76 per cent. of
Indiana's children of school age were en-
rolled, against "a per cent. in Massachu-
sets. The average length of school terms
in this State during the year was 152 days.
This was more than the average in the CEN
trail Western States. but below the average
in the New England States The average
school term in Massachusetts, was 1S9 days.
Minnesota has the highest average of any
central Western State, 169 days. and Ohio
the next 165 days There is no apparent
reason why the average school term In this
State should not be heightened two weeks,
thus placing ii in this respect ahead of any
other Western State. During the year 1900
the Indiana schools gave employment to
1857 teachers, of whom 7,2OS were males
and S,409 were females. The percentage of
male teachers in all the Western States
greatly exceeds that in the New England
States. In Indiana 46 per cent. of all the
teachers were males and in Massachusetts
only per cent There is not another
Northern State that shows as high a per-
centage of male teachers as Indiana Mas
sachusetts pays her teachers and superin-
tendents better than Indiana does, the av-
erage per month in the former State being
$l364 to male teachers and $3.50 to fe-
males, against $3.50 to males and $43.55 to
females.
