wAsr, Dsd T,As party start7

ICStuclU IOOSv0lU IS SUI I'd
be in . quandry about the di-
vergent claims Of cities ~. the
honor Of having entertained the
first convention OF the req ubli-
can party. As many towns seek
this distinction as there did the
honor Of being Homers birth
place, This has puzzled the pres
ident and he is understood to
have declined all invations to at
tend any Of the republican birth
day celebrations this year. He
was expected to go to Jackson,
Mich, which town is to have an
observance on July 6, 1904, Of
the semicentenary OF the birth OF
the Republican party. As he will
be nominated at Chicago three
weeks earlier than that date, the
Michigan people wanted to ar
range for him to accept his nOmi-
nation at Jackson, and thus the
gathering at that place would
have an additional interest.
The President should not al
low himself to be confused by the
conflict OF claims for the honor
which Is sought. The distinction
Enthusiastically belongs to Jack
son. At that place, ON July 6,
1853, met i. convention which
framed a platform that adopted
the name Republican for its
trainers, and put up ticket
which it called Republican, and
that ticket was elected in the fall
Of that year Michigan was the
first place which did this in a
gathering representing an entire
state. Meetings at Ripon, Wis,
held in February and March of
that year, and thus earlier than
Jackson's, declared that a new
party ought to be formed, steps
were taken to form it and the
name Repuh lean was suggested
for it. These were local strictly.
Jackson's meeting on July 6 was
the first state convention which
organized a Republican party
and put up a Republican ticket.
Wisconsin and Vermont had
state conventions on July Ii OF
OF that year, which was the an
niversary OF the adoption OF the
ordinance of 1887, whose anti
slavery provision contained the
Germ OF the Wilmot proviso that
became the cardinal tenet in the
Republican creed. Michigan,
however, was a week earlier than
those states in this work. 1t was
months earlier than some of the
other states which are claiming
priority. In many of the states
the name Republican was not
formally adopted until 1856,
and IN few of them not till l $50.
Col. Roosevelt ought not to al
low the Emergencies among the
claimants to disturb him. Michi-
gan was the stat and jackson
was the place in which the first
Republican gathering was held
which spoke for any important
constituency Globe Democrat.

find desirable places, and the de-
mand for such men increases each
year.
The course of study is specially
designed to improve the public
schools. Last year it included, be-
sides the usual subjects, special in
struction in pedagogics, physics,
nature study and drawing, and the
course for next year has been enlarg-
ed and improved and will include
sight singing. The students had
the benefit of observation and prac-
tice under a critic teacher, and next
session will practice teaching in the
Columbia public schools, having the
benefit of the supervision and crit
icisms of Columbia's best teachers.
The better to impress the school
spirit and arouse the young men to
a sense of the dignity and magnitude
of their profession, there will be a
series of lectures by leading school
superintendents and principals.
Thus this body of young teachers
will combine theory and practice in
their studies, and every two or three
week will be stimulated by special
message from some notable educa-
tor fresh from daily contact with the
practical problems of the schoolroom.
It is thus that the College is seek
ing to execute the wise plan of the
Legislature for improving the COM
mon schools of the State and raising
the standard of citizenship. Assem-
bling within her walls and at the
seat of State government annually
eighty-two young men teschers from
the forty-one counties of the State,
inspiring and broadening them by
contact with students from all Sec
tions of the State and all spheres of
life, strengthening their State pride
and their unity of spirit with the
best traditions of the State, the
South Carolina College will teach
them how to study and how to live,
and how to teach, and will leave upon
them her mark as men and gentle
men.

A Slow Yankee.

Europe can never, it seems, get
used to the Yankee way of doing
business, even in England, where
one would think they had had enough
experience to understand US.
One London paper devotes con.
siderable space to telling of the visit
of an American millionaire, who
cabled to a London firm that he
would call upon them on the next
Wednesday at 1890 a. m. Almost
on the minute he arrived and talked
to the senior partner for twenty min
utes at a rate that almost gave the
Londoner heart failure. Next day
he came again and in thirty minutes
had closed deal that meant good
many thousand pounds year to the
London firm and on Saturday was
on the ocean again bound for New
York, leaving the partners in daze,
which was dispelled only by contern-
plating the signature on the paper.
To US the wonder would be, not
how he fDished his business 30 soop,
but what he did with all that time
between Thursday and Saturday.
