ALL NECESSARY FUNDS RAISED,
And There Is Not a Cloud Left
To Darken The Horizon of
Columbia's Big School
For Boys.

The future of the Columbia Military
Institute looks much brighter. A first
class teacher Is to get the school. and
while in the beginning the enrolment
may not be large, the prospects are
that IN few years Columbia will have
one of the largest aud best preparatory
schools in the entire country.
The official Board of the school met
Tuesday in Nashville and accepted the
proposition of Prof. j. e. Hardey, of
Georgetown. Texas. and arranged to
turn the property over TO him for
term of years Under the aIIangemnt

gwen in proportion to the amount sub
scIibed. Local business men interested
in the school got out and raised the
desired amount with little difficulty.
When the bonds have been engraved
and are ready for delivery the $40, 600
will be paid over TO Prof. W. E. Bos
tick, treasurer of the Board. who Will
hold it in readiness to pay for alteIa-
tions to the Arsenal buildings as they
are made.
Prof. HaTdey was notified after the
meeting of the Board that his PROPOSE

While the Cossacks are tlindly de-

Then came the attempt of Russia

The constitution of Russia IS not
flexible. and even the right 10 move
about freely is denied its people. nus
STA has produced no middle class, ana
even after the products of the factory
have been made there is no middle
class to handle these products, In
cities great proletaTiat IS held on the
grlndstone and cannot move. Unrest
has followed.
Again there is reason for the un-
rest of RUSSIA in the fact that there is
no system of education. and the head
of the department of enlightenment has
the real duty of seeing that the people
are not enlightened While there are
some excellent uni versitles. the real
spirit of university life Is lacking. for
the students are denied the right OF
free thought and free speech.
1t is easy to understand that the
younger men who have attended the
universities have felt to an intense
degree the oppression under which
they have studied. and from sheer
! force of reaction the students have
become of the negative party, OF mini
lists.
Only small fragment of the trained
intellect of the country has been able
to find a field for itself. The clergy
are the most ignorant and, it has been
said. the most immoral of ali clergy,
and the church has not proved attTac-
tive for men of keen and trained intel
lects. The press offers no outlet, ftI
1t is muzzled, although few OF the
trained minds have been absorbed by
the government here they merely
have pecome part of the govern
mental machine.
thus the intellectual classes find there
is no place IN Russia for them. and
they accordingly want an eruption and
rebuilding of The structure. Russia
has been defined as an autocracy modi-
fed by assassination. 1t is the
bureaucracy which has prevented all
attempts at granting reforms.
