Yes, Let the Girls Graduate at Least.


I wish heartily to indorse the appeal pub
lished in your paper last Wednesday in be-
half Of the High School girls. Here are
several girls who have passed successfully,
one grade at time, their twelve years OF
public school life, and now, as a reward for
their intelligence. perseverance and indus
try, they are informed that, II allowed to
enter the Normal School next fall, they will
at the expiration Of their two years term
lack few days, or weeks possibly, Of that
well-defined and easily determined point,
the teaching age. So they must close their
career with big mark of deficiency on
their reports, in spite of the opinion of
their teachers in the High School, who have
the best chance to judge of their capabili-
ties that they are old enough Intellectually,
If not lawfully, to enter the Normal School.
They were old enough by law to enter the
first grade. They were old enough by law
to enter the first year in the High School.
But now, for the first time in twe.ve years.
they find themselves, unexpectedly, not old
enough. They entered the/>HIgh School
with the intention OF becoming teachers,
chose such studies as would fit them for
that they were eligible as teachers. and
now the board says they are not old enough
to become teachers. Their entire course,
then, has been failure. They cannot en-
not fit them for college. What can they
do? The board says drop a study" fail
TINS year" come back and try it over next
year Yes. girls: Postpone your dreams
of graduation! Give up it's attending hon
ors Bid your beloved classmates FAREWELL!
They are more deserving than you. They
were born few days sooner or they. more
likely were kept back in one of the lower
grades. Therefore, they are better fitted
to teach school. Is that the justice of
which Americans boast? If, in the board s
opinion, the rule had to be changed, why
should the change affect these girls in the
last year of their school life, when they
have lived under a different rule for the
past eleven years? 1t would be no more
School next year. but if that is not possible
let them at least. have that pleasure so
dear to a girls heart-it happens but once
in Gfetme-of graduating with their own

Missing Buoy Located,

The No. spar buoy, which was carried
by the ice and high water from its proper
position in the Georgetown channel between
Buena Vista and the Long bridge. has
made its appearance in the deep water OF
the channel about midway between Alexan-
dria and Washington. Only the tip Of the
spar shows above the surface of the water
at low tide and at other times it is hidden
entirely from sight. While the buoy is not
particularly dangerous to sailing vessels, a
side-wheel steamers wheels are liable to
be damaged by IT. The position of the spar
has been taken by the officers of the ferry
steamer Belle Haven and the lighthouse

Would Not Be Taken Alive.

One night last week three burglars
broke into and robbed the store of
Mr.. Hobing and the postoffice at Strib-
ling, Stewart county. Bloodhounds
were secured and put on the trail fif-
teen hours later. They followed the
trail to the river, where it is sup
posed the thieves separated. A. U.
Lindsay, who had the hounds, finally
located one of the thieves in Blood
river bottom, bringing him to bay
about sunset. The robber was armed
with breech-loading shotgun and a
38-caliber Marlin rife, and had album
dant ammunition. Lndsay's demand
that he surrender was refused, and
then Lindsay and two companions
closed in. The men opened fire and
the robber replied, probably fatally
wounding one of Lindsay's compan-
ions, Wilber Sellers. The robber, who
was sheltered by a tree, finally fell,
full of bullet wounds, and died almost
instantly. The man was known as
Joe Stringer.
