The Juniors have now completed
Roman History, which finishes the
study of Ancient History. 1t is hard
for us to believe that the Italian ped
dlers and musicians, found wander
ing through our cities, are the repre-
sentatives of that nation-the Roman
kingdom. They do not reach our
ideals OF those ancient people who
thought that ito be Roman was
greater than to be king"
A number of valuable books have
been recently added to the High
school library, and judging from
their continual use by students Of the
History and English classes. the
recommendations of the State Super
intendent appear to be fully appre-
ciated. Among the list may be found
some of the acknowledged authentic
histories of various European
countries which have exerted para
mount influence in the progress and
enlightenment of the human race;
while the works on American history
are admirably adapted to supplement
the ordinary text in evolving,
enlarging and illuminating the sue
cessive epochs of our national
existence. The new reference works
in English and American literature
are standard, and supply long felt
want in the school. The benefits
derived from consulting such author
alive writings are unreasonable
when compared with their intrinsic
value.
In talking over high school work
with a young man who was graduated
several years ago from High school
in one of our large cities, the writer
was impressed by some of the views
he took of High school work. He
had been in close touch with the
business life of that city since his
graduation and felt that he had learn
ed something about it's relation to
school work. He said there ought to
be more definite course of study,
that those who could go no farther
with their studies in a higher school
might have something of practical
worth when they finish and not simply
a preparation for study in a higher
institution. Secretary Cortelyou of
the new department of Commerce and
Labor, said in Chicago last week:
1.-THE time has come when the pub
lie realizes that the High school can
do more than prepare for college or
for teaching. A course that shall give
four years of solid work in culture
subjects, and at the same time come
to close touch with the life of the bu-
siness world will be Of much value to
the youth of our land"

RUSSIA FACING
A GREAT CRISIS
Enperor's Decision on Zemstyo
Memorial Likely to Have Far
Reaching Consequences
THE czAR TlRlNG OF THE WAR
Nicholas Said to Be Greatly Grieved
and Concerned Over Both Situation
at Home and Abroad-General Be-
lief That Some Concessions Will be
Made to Zemstvoists.

ST. Petersburg. Nov. 25.-According
Ecmstvo memorial is still under con-
sideration at Tsarlsoe Selo. Emperor
Nicholas Is said to be under no illusion
regarding the gravity of his decision
and is giving the memorial his most
careful and earnest consideration. BY
some he is represented as greatly con-
cerned and grieved over the situation
both at home and abroad, to be weary
of the war and unrest in the interior,
ready to welcome any honorable means
to bring the war to Il conclusion and
anxious to remove the causes for dis
content and secure tranquility at
home. The influences surrounding him,
however are said to be almost entire
ly hostile to concessions.
The statement made in these dis
patches several days ago that the rev.
o'utionists hal announced truce
pending decision of the government
on the question of convoking Il sort of
elGCLlNe uatlOflal aSSeI1Dly 10 pass up
on the Iemstvo program Is confirmed
from several quarters. and fear is cx-
pressed ii the whole Zemstvo program
is rejected there may be Il revival of
the old terroristic duel.
The emperor is said to have been
acquainted with Interior Minister
Svatopok- Mirslsy's irrevocable deci-
sion not to remain in the ministry IL
the policy of liberalism on which he
Went into office is abandoned. The re-
actionlsts and bureacrats profess to see
no danger in the present situation, de-
claring their belief that the agitation
provoked by the Iemstvoists will soon
sink out of sight and affairs. and re-
snfne their normal sway. II concessions
are made they say they will be slight
and will mean little. Mirsky himself,
altho for different reasons 1t Is repre-
sented is also opposed to radical de-
parture of the liberal regime. Accord
ing to his opinion 1T must come grad
ually and without shock

JUDGE is ACCUSED
Report Of the Committee of Inquiry in
the Famous Beck Case i'm London
Places Blame for Miscarriage Of
Justice on Trial Judge.

London, Nov. 25.--The report of the
committee of inquiry in the case OF
Adolph Beef, who for the crimes OF
William Thomas alias John Smith,
served a term of five years imprison-
ment in England on the charge OF OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
places practically the entire blame for
miscarriage of justice upon Judge SIT
Forrest Fulton, who excluded from
Becks trial all evidence favorable 10
the accused and who refused to state
the case for consideration OF a higher
court. The committee finds IL the
matter could have been brought be-
fore Il higher court the flaw in the pro-
ceedings must have been discovered
and conviction been squashed, and IT
there had been a qualified lawyer in
the home office the real nature of the
miscarriage would have been so
brought to the attention of the under
secretary for home affairs as to COM
pei intervention.

publican makes no pretense of infalli-
bility. and has become accustomed to
the sneers and scowls of 81 number who
do not believe the truth should be told
unless 1t fits In with their desires: but
begs to make these few quotations
merely that the readers Of the Tines
Republican may know that the future
of Secretary Shaw In the cabinet Is by
no means settled ut this present writ
ing 1t Is something which genuinely
interests the people of Iowa. They
have right to all the gossip there Is
going In relation to the cabinet, and
especially in relation to the Iowa mem
bers thereof.
That pressure Is being brought on the
president to have Secretary Shaw re-
main In the cabinet has been known
here for some days. This influence
proceeds not from the farmers and
plain people OF the western states, but
from those who are close to the finar1-
cial forces in New York City which sns-
tain close relationship with the treas
ury department. Unless this influence
is very strong Mr.. Shaw will not re-
main as the director of treasury affairs
In the Roosevelt administration. This Is
plain statement of facts which may
be disagreeable to many Iowa people,
and may even be surprise to few,
but the writer knows Of no reason why
It should be suppressed and falsehoods
circulated for the delectation OF Iowa
readers.
All this is said without any spirit OF
hostility to Secretary Shaw who is held
In highest esteem by the writer.
