BOYS THRIFTY At OXFORD
Participants IN Rhodes Bsnsfactioz

1t Is pleasing to know, declares
the Philadelphia Inquirer, that
the group of American boys at OK
ford enjoying the Rhodes scholar
ships are making creditable head
way in their studies, but what has
impressed England more than
anything else IL the way these
young fellows walk of with the
athletic events. A few DAYS ago
there were nine contests on track

1t should be remembered that
Cecil Rhodes ordained that the
candidates should be chosen for
physical as well as intellectual

likely to make the varsity eight

quietude over this condition In
Great Britain Is natural, but con-
sidering that Rhodes wanted the
pick Of $4,000, 900 of Americans Il
was not surprising that our boys
have done so well.
It is known that Mr.. Rhodes de-
sired not only to aid American
boys and to develop a feeling of
mutual regard between the ma

enough to give him confidence in
the American spirit. On many oc.

mining engineers came along and

knew that this was not entirely

due to the dauntless spirit and
originality of invention which are
possessed by our own people In a
large measure. He wanted to see
his own people develop these
qualities and took his own me thod
of accomplishing 1t. Apparently
the object lessons are to be all
