STUDY OF THE CLASSICS.

In recent address before the New-York Latin
Club, Professor Morgan, of Harvard said;

they have got the power. they find that there is
Xenophon upon which they exercise

that this long drill in single author in Greek
and a single author in Latin is the way TO en-
courage students to continue their studies of the
classics in college. 1t opens up to them no vista
whatever of the wide and noble fields of literature
which are there be found. The subject matter Of
XenOphon and Cesar is too much of the same kind

The Coming Baptist College

Touching the matter of the
Baptist College, the News can
say, based upon information
furnished by a leading church
man, who does not desire his
name used in this connection,
that Hereford has raised about
Sl5, 600 bonus; Memphis nearly
$50, 600, and that Amarillo will
put up about the same as Mem
phis. Our informant also stated
that Canyon City was the best
natural location tor it and might
get it anyway, even without a
cash bonus, but suggested that
our town might offer a real es.
tate consideration in lieu Of
money.
AS we see it, the Ba ptist breth-
rem desire a location that will
be central to the Plains country;
one gifted by nature and in ad
dition to all this, one that has
a strong religious and clear
moral atmosphere all about it.

course includes the moral line,

Late Railway News.

On top OF the news confirming the
purchase Of "a controlling interest in
the II. & T. G. by the Rock Island
people, special to the Dallas Daily
News dated Austin, May -, says:
The report contained in these dis
patches few days ago that com
pact had been entered into between
the principal competing railroad in
terests in Texas to do no more rail
road building into each others terri
tory in Texas for ii period OF years is
confirmed ia New York financial pa
pers, copies OF which reached here to-
day.
1t il stated in these newspapers
that one Of the terms OF the sale of n
half interest in the north and south
lines OF the Southern pacific in Texas
to the Rock Island was that the lat
ter would not build any extensions
or new lines competing with any of
the existing Hartman roads, and
that similar stipulation was re-
quired of the Hartman interests
with respect TO the Rock Island.
The Gould interests are the third
party to this compact, according to

ing up about it. Many of the
COW men say it is not worth it,
and they will not give it. With
money at 10 per cent this would
put the land at a grazing value
OF 80 cents per acre. Home

Our theory is that if money is
really worth 10per cent and the
just value of the land to actual
