A Misdireeted Ambition.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
A thing that a college president
must fight against is the lust for num-
bers, that awful, Unsuitable greed
for anything that looks like growth,
even if it be a swelling. Recent re-
ports Of a considerable fraction Of the
GIG universities and colleges show
lack of moral strength just at this
point. Discussing the growth of the
University Of Nebraska sthru the last
biennium" the chancellor remarks
with enthusiasm that 'sin attendance
it has enjoyed more than natural in
crease. Our enrolment last year,
says another, was about 1900; this
year not less9than 400. 1"I wish we
could make it an even 1900" The
increase may be in dairy college,
plumbing class or the kitchen course
in economics. 1t is only the total
that matters.
This appetite for a "more than
natural increase becomes at times
quite uncomfortable. Here is col
lege executive who is invariably On the
side of llthe unqualified student.
Special courses, courses in absentia,
subsidies for the understanding poor,
faith, hope and infinite forgive
ness, anything to add name to the
rolls. Another IS busy day and night
thinking up advertisements. A new
field opened or a new path laid, big
ger grand stand or boating house-for
the least sign of physical growth he
will beseech mention in the news
papers Gentlemen Of the alumni,
we have had an encouraging year" and
there follows buoyant chronicle OF
events having nothing to do with the
purpose of education. Not to imply
that this class Of men have not been
with US always, or that they are ia
the majority, or that real progress is
not made ia spite Of them. But the
significant thing is that this, the one
conspic0us notorious vice Of the college
administration, the temptation to
which Of all Others he most frequently
yields is SO seldom noticed by the news
paper guardians of education.

AN inquiry has been received here
asking about firm styled Thornton
Brothers but no one has as yet been
found who knows anything about
them. 1t is evident that they do not
advertise in the NEW DOMINION or
everybody would know them.

THERE will be a serious shortage in

not have rain pretty soon. The heat

are or extend little more into the

MosT OF the papers of the state have
quit defending the action of the Nor
ma School regents but few hide
bouad partisans are still harping on
the single string of justification.
Even Prof. Fleming who would have
proiited by their action refused to
abide by it.

cover Commencement Hall and hide

then be thing to mar the campus
but will be one OF the prettiest build
ines about the University.

CONTROLLING INTEREST
In the w. Va. Short Line and Ohio
River r. r. Purchased By the Penn
sYlyania Co.

The controlling interest Of the Ohio
r. R. has been sold, says the Parkers-
burg Seminal, the buyer being the
Baltimore & Ohio, though the general
control Of the property will be with
the Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania
being now the practical owner Of the
B. & o., any property coming into
the possession of the latter naturally
falls under the direct control of the
former.
Negotiations have been going on for
some time looking to this sale, and
about ten days ago livestock was taken
up by the buyers.
The purchase includes the West Vir-
ginia Short Line, the Ripley & Mill
Creek Valley, the Ravenswood Spencer
& Glenville and Kenoya extension, as
well as any other holdings Of the Ohio
River r. r. proper. The price paid
for the stock is not given, but it was
in the neigh5orhood Of $50 a share.

Riyermen are now Praying for rain.

The packet men just now are pray
ing for RAIN and rise in the river
would be welcomed by them, as well
as by the coal men. A large amount
of coal is accommodating in the Pitts
burg harbor and the pools Of the Mo-
nongahela river, but on account of
the low condition of the rivers this
coal cannot be moved into the harbOr,
to prepare it for shipment south. The
Monongahela presented muddy ap-
pearance to-day, as result Of heavy
rains at various points. The rains
that fell were local and will not cause a
rise In the rivers. The Allegheny and
Monongahela are falling at all points
and the weather bureau does not offer
any encouragement in the way Of rain.

An Interesting Relic.

Platteville Journal: Some thirty
years ago the workmen while clear
ing the debris from the ruins of an
old hotel which was destroyed by
fire on the site of the present Platte
vile postoffice block unearthed a
Masonic jewel, engraved with the
usual Royal Arch emblems. On the
reverse side was the following in
scription, Edmund L. Locke, Jr.,
Exalted in the Iowa Royal Arch
Chapter, No. 2. April 18th, 1874
This Jewel remained in the possession
of the finder up to recent date,
when it was turned over to Prof.
McGregor, who referred it to the Ma
sonic fraternity in the hope OF md
ing the owner. The only member oil
the order who had any knowledge OF
Mr.. Locke was J. II. Evans, who re-
membered that Mr.. Locke went to
California in the spring of 1919. On
his return home he was taken SICK
and died at Galena, leaving young
wife and little daughter born soon
after the father left for California.
To find the widow and daughter
now became the desire Of the frater-
nifty in this city, in order that the
lost Jewel might be returned to them
1t was learned that the daughter
some years ago had visited friends
in Darlington. J. q. Monahan was
requested to help trace this daugh-
ter. Mr.. M. finally ascertained that
this daughter was living in Rock
ford, ILL.,, and by marriage was now
named Mrs. Frank Locke Smith, to
whom the long lost jewel will be
sent. The widow has been dead for
many years. How this jewel hap
pened TO be in the old hotel when
burned will probably never be
known.
