Two Of our correspondents o-day take
the position that the university has been
instrumental in causing the Minnesota
high schools to have courses of study cons
siderabiy different from what they would
have if they were shaped with the pur-
pose of doing the, most goodSfor the boys
and girls who never expect to go to the
university. This is a very interesting
point, and one that ought to be very care
fully considered. AS only about one sixth
of the high school graduates go to the
university. it is advisable to consider their
interests in making courses. It remains
to be seen just how much the present
courses would have to be~altered to give
due attention to the five-sixths. There are
those who maintain that they should not
be changed at all; these will fnd3it worth
while to read the letters from. Messrs.

ADAM BARR. BY Willis B. Hawkins. Boston:
Lothrop Publishing company. Price $3.50.
This is story Of action for boys and
young men, for both will like it and will
follow the career of the boys in the story
thru many lively incidents Of boy life in
a small Illinois town, where the boys are
at an age when they show their procliv
tiles to noble or heroic or base or indif-
ferent lives, ignoring their ripest oppor-
tunities. Much Andy, the village shoe
maker, is the conspicuous character, do
ing more to shape young character right
ly and set an example Of true heroism
and tunselfishnesss than anybody telse.!} A
veteran of the Mexican war, Andy was
readypwhen the war for the union broke
out to go to the front again with his
wooden leg. He drilled the boys and
taught them soldierly qualities and to-
ward the last year of the war, when SOL
5diers were needed greatly, they went into
the conflict and proved true soldiers.
There is an interesting adjustment of
lost relationships and very well-con-
struggled love incidents. The talks Of
Uncle Andy, quaint and epigrammatic
add greatly to the attraction Of the book.

such a hit, when he visited Portsmouth,

of the qualities which made it so pleas
ing when we were first privileged to
see it; in fact. it seemed to appeal
to the audience, last evening. even
more than it did when Mr.. Morris first
presented it here. The actor himself,
too. gave evidence of a ripper talent and
interpreted his part with attention to
detail which left nothing to be desired.
The character of Dick CareWe is one
peculiarly adapted to Mr.. Morris and
no one could have appeared in it to
better advantage. The favorite actor
was forced to respond to several cur

echo. Mr.. Morris was splendidly sup
