EDUCATION AND BIRTH RATE.

In his annual report to the Harvard board
Of overseers, President Eliot presents vital
statistics to show that the highly educated
part OF the American people does not in.
crease the population at all but on the con.
trary fails to reproduce Itself and says;
1t l., probable that the rcgrettable result is
due in part 10 the late postponement OF marriage
on the part Of educated young men, postpone
ment which the protrscted education now pre-
scribed for men who enter the learned and seien-
tihe professions makes almost unavoidable.
The Young physician lawyer. engineer or arch
tcct is now fortunate If he marries at twenty
eight or twenty nine. whereas he should have
married at twenty-five or tweny-siN. o make
earlier marriage possible IS one Of the strongest
inducements for bringing 10 end the school
course at seventeen eighteen the college course
at twenty or twenty-one and the professional
training at twenty-four or twenty-five
II the observation is correct as TO other
universities and colleges-and doubtless it
is--the effect of higher education is 10 put
the burden Of maintaining the human fam
lily upon the uneduceted or the partly edu.
Gated and thereby to recruit the race from
the least intelligent
Possibly this is not an unmixed evil. Only
in exceptional cases is the highest mental
! culture accompanied by the greatest physical
vigor Modern methods have greatly i'm.
proved in this respect and there is nov a
commendable effort to maintain the strong
body for the sound mind. Still the tempta
ton of the stimulated intellect is to shuu
the muscular. Besides, the educated are
usually able to escape the dscomforts o.
exposure and hardship which make fo
physical development and for the survival o
, the httest in animal life. Culture can b.
acquired but strength of body, which is tn,

VALENTlNING.

oh. where are the girls OF yester-year,
The girls with blue eyes shining
The girls who used to cost US dear
When we went valentining
To whom we sang, and meant 1t too,
"Oh, sugars sweet and so are you
To whom we sent with great ado
Two hearts all INTERVIEWING
If these should meet the eyes Of one
Loved in the yester-year,
Whose tresscs glinted in the sun,
Whose blue eyes cost US dear
We'd like to say, and mean it too,
ooh, sugars sweet and so we're you
But Time has cut our love in two
Dear maid Of yester-year.

The glad news that the Reser-

a waiting came Wednesday after
noon and Yost blew his whistle,
but became so elated ordered the
engineer 10 turn her loose again.
never mind the cost and such a
screeching was ne'r hoard before,
and the whole town went wild. A
hundred phones asked Central the

out of their houses ard cheered
for Hays was to be a college town.
Men shook hands, and mechanics
saw a new show for lite. Children
coming from school were elated,
visions of their future school was

one built on the Reservation, to
which we can invite the children

to see why our town is elated.

4 NARROW ESCAPE.

President Wilkinson OF the state
Normal has told our people that
we cannot expect to make our
Normal a success if we allow the
saloons to run Prof. Pick9n has
often told the same thing:
The present Legislature is very
strong Temperance and some of
them had been told of the situation
In our town and while they were
willing to make an appropriation
for maintenance. so as to hold the
land, but opposed anything for q
building until our town had shown
we really wanted it and make this
3 school town, and we understand
that positive promise was made
that If the $4,000 was added for
a new building our Commercial
Club wonld give assurance that
no more Joints would be allowed
to run, no more city revenue from
that source, and we hope our Com
mercial club VIII make it good e
strong aud publish IN eastern pa
pers so the people can see this is
to be a good school town.
An appropriation for mainte-
nance, just to keep the school run
ming two years; simply meant a
slow death, no inducement for the
outside scholar to come here, but
with a fine big building going up,
it means something we can point
to with pride, and we trust our
town will take hold so as to con-
vince the Regents and President
Wilkinson, when they come here
to locate the school, that we APP
preciate their coming.
Maybe the closing last Saturday
was the beginning of this move.

STATE NORMAL NOTES.
w. B. &. S. N.

The debate of the General Hist

the best we have had this year. The
judges decided in favor of the afir-

arguments on both sides of the
question.
The program for next Monday
the 9th, will be the following:
Debate. Resolved: That capital
punishment should be abolished.
