posed shortening of the course of in.
struction for midshipmen from four

unless the law was amended so as to
allow the appointment Of successors to
the midshipmen as soon as they com.
piete their three years course. As

ST. JOHNS COLLEGE.
what Is Said Of Il BY Others.

The issue of the illustrated Sporting
News, of New York, which appeared
today, deyotes several pages to an in
teresting article with illustration on
st. John College Of this city. The
article is one Of a series on college
and School OF America" by q. p.
Hurditch. AS is usual in the case of
intelligent persons who have the op-
portunity of looking into the life and
work of st. Johns the writer finds
more to admire than he believed ex-
listed here. The article is not confined
TO athletics, though the writer CON-
pliments the local collegians highly
on their fine showing in different
branches of sport, particularly foot
bali and track athletics. The battalion
of cadets, the band and signal corps,
the glee club and the annual camp are
features of life at st. Johns, which
tion. Students whom he picks out for
special commendation are Captain
Gore, of the track team; Captain Du-
vail, of the football squad, and q. A.
Mcbride, leader of the band. the lat
ter organization being according to
his opinion, a great credit TO the in
stitution
Mr.. Hurditch pays a well deserved
compliment to Major A. w. RSmith,
the cadet commander of the battalion,
but falls into the error of putting the
work of the battalion on q par with
that of West Point. This same error
has taken place in print before and
the authorities of the college regret
that they should be over complimented
upon this matter. The st. Johns bat
talon is thoroughly crack organiza-
tion in its class, but ID is not of the
class with West Point The article
has several fine illustrations and upon
the whole is very worthy addition
to the literature of old ST. Johns

was a fit subject for the tailor and
