In recent paper President Charles
+. Thwing, Of the Western Reserve
University, said that the reverence Of
the American people for education is
seen in the attention paid by them to
the schools Of every kind of grade.
But this reverence is possibly the
most marked in the attention given to
the High School and the college. In
1890 the number of students in both
public and private high schools in this
country was 3G7 ,OO3; in 1895, $780,
in 1900, 1924; in 1903, 776,6S5. The
increase he also shows continued in
tie year past In all cases the per.
centage Of increase in the number OF
students in the high school was great
er than the percentage in the increase
in population.
These facts, he says, with reference
10 the increase of attendance at our
high schools are good in themselves.
Most students enter college through
the door of the preparatory school and
not from the training Of private tutors.
The preparatory school is usually the
public high school. From the college
year lS94.tS95 10 the last college year
the percentage of increase Of Studerts
in some thirty important colleges OF
liberal learning was sc per cent, and
in schools of engineering It was 1G2
IpeI cent. The increase in the attend
ace of the high schools and othc'
causes indicate that the increase in at
tendance Of the colleges is still contn-
Uing.
Behind the colleges are the high
l.sohools great and small of every. city
and of almost every township, becoT
Ing each wear larger. Behind the high
schools are tie people who are deter
mined that the children OF each sue
ceeding generation shall receive an ed.
tueation better tAAn that received ny
the preceding generation, The high
school and college working :Ogaher
are to lift American life through this
vast enrolment, into greater strength
beauty, and richer appreciations
Graduates Of the Fairu ont High
School were entered in the freshman

and in tht Ohio State University at Co
liambus. In the new building the
courses of study will be expanded, and
the school will enter still greater ca
reer of usefulness to the community.

WHO SHOULD BE SENATOR.

The Richmond newspapers and
several Richmond correspondents
for Washington and Baltimore
papers are at considerable pains
just now to convince their readers
that the impending contest between
Governor Montague and Senator
Martin for a seat in the United
States Senate win develop into a
battle royal, which may be expect
ed to shake Virginia from the
mountains to the sea.
These same gentlemen would
have us believe that the issue is to
resolve itself into death struggle
between the people and the ma
chine. As partizans of the Gov
ernor they naturally hold him up
as a special champion of the people:
as hostile to the Senator they paint
him as the embodiment of machine
politics.
Let us not be unduly excited.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

We note that the Hon. Black
burn Smith, of Clarke county, has
announced his candidacy for the
Virginia legislature from the coun-
ties of Clarke and Warren. OF
him the Warren Sentinel says:
Mr.. Smith has served his con-
stituents faithfully for two terms
and is now IN the legislative COM
mittee for the location of a State
Female Normal school, the MEM
bers of which it is said agree that
Front Royal offers advantages

that she will have any candidate

Mr.. Smith is in position to be
of far greater service to Warren
county than any new man could
possibly be.
IL the State Female Normal

be because the intelligent and ear

He IL Genius at Hiding Nuts and
Finding Them Again.
"One OF the most familiar sounds OF
the summer woods IS the rattling bark
of the red squirrel" writes an observ-
er. The tones OF hiS voice are varied.
and there is n great difference between
his angry bark. his cry OF fear, the
chattering monologue with which he
addresses an intruder on his domain.
the running fire OF repartee which is
the constant accompaniment Of the an
tics OF n pair at play and the long rat
thing roll call which he utters appar-
emily from sheer enjoyment OF the
sound or as n challenge to some un-
seen enemy OF his own tribe and which
reverberates through the woods often
with sufficient force to carry the sound
for as much as half to three-Quarters
of mile. IL we listen for an instant
when we hear one OF these challenges
sent forth we may hear it answered
from some distant point so family that
we cannot be certain that ii is not an
echo. Some other male has heard the
challenge and, detecting the self salts
fed note in IL, has answered. and we
may be fairly certain that they are
Fastening toward each other. each with
the intention Of annihilating his foe or
at least teaching him lesson.
Gray squirrels. unlike most OF the
rodents, do not hibernate I'm the winter
time. but are abroad and very active
during most OF the season. Their nests

and hop along the ground. testing IL
every few yards with his front feet.
When he has found spot entirely to
his liking he will scoop out a shallow
hole and. placing the nut in IL. will
cover Il up with the loose earth. This
he Will stamp down and restore TO its
former condition by scraping the loose
leaves and small stones over IL.
This performance he repeats again

An Elastic Statement.

The new reporter in his story OF the
wedding, says the Baltimore Ameri
can, wrote, The floral display stretch
ed from the chancel rail TO the doors OF
the church"
The city editor In mild manner, as
is the custom OF city editors with new
reporters, said
Couldn't you have used a better
word than 'stretchedY Say the floral
display nodded or 'twined' or some.
thing like that-some word more sug.
gestive of flowers"
Stretched is all right in this case, -
replied the new reporter, with the
stubborn courage of a realist. 1.-THE
decorations consisted Of six rubber
plants, and they had to stretch to cover
the distance"

ordinary dishes are consumed at this
meal The tea must be made with wa

materials specified by law forms the
staple dish. while at the finish = meas
ure OF special sake from red lacquer

In the room Is placed an "elysan

with evergreen leaves and bearing a
rich dumping. a lobster. oranges. per-
simmons. chestnuts. dried sardines and
herring roe All these dishes have n
special slgniflcation. The names OF
some are homonoymus with words OF
happy omen: the others have an ale
gorical meaning. The Holsters curved
back and long claws typify life pro-
longed till the frame is bent and the
beard is long; the sdrdines. which nj
ways swim in pairs, express conjugal
bliss; the herring is symbolical Of n
fruitful progeny.
These dishes are not intended for con-
sumption. although I'm most cases the
appetite is fairly keen The orthodox
