it is not surprising that he rapidly advanced
to the position of the acknowledged leader

explained by Mr. Writ: This extraordinary
man. without the aid of fancy without the
advantages of person, voice, attitude ges-
ture or any of the ornaments of the orator
deserves to be considered one of the most
eloquent men in the world, if e1oquence
may be said to consist in seZing the at
tention with irresistible force and never
permitting it to elude the grasp until the
nearer has received the conviction which
the speaker intends. He possesses one orig

faculty of developing a subjest by glance
of his mind and detecting at once the very
point which every controversy de-
pcnds.'
Constitutional Decisions.
Two parties in the United States took op-
posing views of the Constitution, one in
sisting that the national government was
a sovereign nation, the other that the ma
tiunal governm mt was merely the accred-
tied agent of thirteen Independent sover-
eighties. Mr.. Marshall declared the wise
and moderate doctrine that the Constitu-
tior should not have either a strict a
liberal construction but one giving the nat
ural and ordinary effect to its words"
Marshall, soon after his entrance upon the
duties of chief justice of the Supreme
Court. confronted with the question:
Was the extent and scope of the limitations

sixty years. and ended only with his life

He was reelected to the state legislature
In 1iS4 and again III 1877, and in the fol-

the convention called to reject or to ratify

was going beyond his duty and was assun-

cannot better close than by quoung the
noble language of the great chief justice
on this charge:
''That this court dares not usurp power
Is most true That this court does NOT
shrink from it's duty is not less true. NO
man Is desirous of placing himself in
disagreeable situation. No man is desirous
of becoming the peculiar subject OF cal

cup pass from him without self-reproach,

of his country who can hesitate which to
embrace"

When Marshall Was Born.
And as these different nationalities were
commingled and were rapidly being fused
into one people, the professors of all the
different religious creeds gathered here were
united in their devotion to the land which
gave TO each of them the right to freedom
Of religious worship; and when John Mar
ehall was born the American colonists,
thinly scattered along the Atlantic coast
from Massachusetts, bay to Georgia, were
as one people slowly marching inland to
take possession of the continent, and to
establish a great nation resting upon the
sublime truth-true yesterday, true today
and true f0revcr-that all men are created
free and equal and are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
THE great events Of American history
were the natural and inevitable results of
the memories. the sufferings, the faith and
the aspirations of the early settlers.
LAS early rs the year 1863. when John
Marshall was only ten years old. the citi-

The request of the boys that they have
gymnasium In the new High school
building will be granted This was decided
upon at n special meeting OF the Board of
Education yesterday afternoon II will be
in the hall designed for a drill room, the
ceiling Of which is only ten feet high. To
overcome the difficulty of the low ceiling
as far as possible, the beams at the end
Of the hall under the stage in the audi
torium will be cut away and the ceiling
cut out An additional height of three
feet will thus be obtained at this end of
the hall and will allow for the placing OF
parallel bars. ladders and rings. The
space under the stage will be 55x13 feet
The matter was brought before the board
by Mr.. Sargent, who said that number
of the parents OF the High school boys
had come to him with requests that ar
rangements be made for a gymnasium in
the new building He referred to the fact
that If the board had acted on his sug-
gestion at the time it was suggested that
the ceiling OF the drill hall was entirely too
low and had raised It three feet by in
creasing the height of the walls of the
building that much, the hall would have
made far better gymnasium.
While the matter was under discussion
Architect Schoentgen suggested the feast
billy of cutting out the ceiling from under
the stage in the auditorium. The expense,
he soid would not be large. and 1t was
the only plan whereby the hall could be
utilized at all for the purpose of gym
nasium
The matter was disposed OF by referring
it to Chairman Sargent OF the committee
on buildings and grounds and Superintend-
ent Clifford, with power to act. This means
that the boys will have gymnasium.
The architects we're instructed to pre-
pare plans for the approaches to the
school and the retaining walls around the
grounds.
In the matter OF backboards for the
new building, 1t was decided to have the
same as in use in the graded schools.
