curious amazement and offered all that
he stood for to the Egyptian priest If
he would show him the source of that
wonderful river. But the antics Of
the Nile look like insignificant moth
irgs to me when compared with the
strange conduct Of the stl cam that
oozes out of the earth at Itasca and
hurries on its murky and devious way
toward the Gulf Of Mexico. Towns
along the Mississippi that once stood
right on the brink of the river have
been isolated even in my day, and
there are, too, all al the course OF
the stream lite empires in view where
the river has encroached upon small
centers of population finally eating
the earth away and forcing the in
habitants to seek other quarters.
There are hundreds of these places
that are almost forgotten now. even
by the men who are constantly on the
river. What brings about these vio-
lent changes along the banks OF the
river? Not floods. It is just the ordi-
nary doings of the stream. In the first

wonderfully swift, and the sediment

How Sousa Was Named.

Someone has "discovered'' how
John Philip Sousa got his name.
The story comes from Washington,
where the musician was born and
educated. Originally, it is said, his
name was John Philipso. When he
entered the employ of the government
as leader of the Marine band he
proudly appended the initials gu. S.
A.' for United States army, so that
his full signature read "John Philipso,
U. S. A." A stranger, congratulating
him upon a performance of the band
addressed him as "Mr. John Philip
Sousa," and his name has been SOusa
ever since.

of 1881 students, according to the annual
report of President Nicholas Murray Butler.
President Butler said of Columbia's new
study program. whereby a student may
graduate after three years or may take
more than four years TO cover the same
ground: at breaks up the lockstep theory
system of uniform annual promotions from
class to class"
Under this system the requirement for
graduation is the completion Of a prescribed
number of hours of work. It may even be
possible President Butler says. for an un-
usually advanced student to graduate in
less than three years. In this same con-
nection he says:
1T IS useless to say that American
students between 10 and % years of age
cannot with advantage pursue professional
and other university subjects Of study,
when these are precisely the years when
the students of France and Germany are
pursuing those studies TO the greatest ad-
vantage"
