have exhibits of the agricultural fea.

and the other branches of interest to

DIR. Frissell said that the school is
certainly going to have a creditable
exhibit at the big exhibition. 1t is
thought to reproduce the miniature
school and its surroundings would at
least require space 15Ox1OO feet.
DR.. Frissell has already taken up
the matter with the exposition author
tiles and he is hopeful that his idea
may be carried out in the fullest de-
tail. Cooking will also be one of the
features.
Board of TRUSTEE 10 Meet.
The board of trustees has been call
ed to meet in special session at the
Hampton Normal school next Satur-
day, when the exhibit at the exposi-
ton will be taken up.
Dr. Robert c. Ogden, the president
and Mr.. George Foster Peabody. the
treasurer of the institution. will be
present at the trustees meeting.
Distinguished Cersymen Coming.
Probably the most distinguished
party of clergymen that has visited
the Normal school in many years will
come there next Friday. The visitors
are bishops Of the Episcopal church
and they arc making tour of the ne
gro schools at the request of the Epis-
coral diocese of the United States.
Among the bishops expected are
Bishop Greer. of New York; Bishop
Lyons. of New Jersey; Bishop A. NJ.
Randolph. of Virginia, and a number
of southern bishops. The clergymen
will spend the day at the school in
spccting every department and not
ing the workings of each. The COM
mittee of bishop will frame report
for the diocese.

RESIGNS BECAUSE
HE IS SOCIALIST
Commissioner of Public Work
Patterson, of Chicago, Gives
Up Position.
EQUAL APPOINTMENT FOR ALL
Tells Mayor Dunno He is Palter-
ing With Skin-Deep
Measures.
tgy Associated Press. j

CHICAGO. March 2.-Commissioner of
Public Works Joseph Medill Patterson
mas rendered his resignation TO Mayor
Edward f. Dunno. The resignation was
sent by Mr. Patterson to Mayor Dunno
Wednesday in long letter reviewing the
conditions in his department. and con-
ciuding as follows:
The universal ballot gives every male
citizen an equal political opportunity.
The common ownership of all the means
of production and distribution would give
every body an equal chance at music art.
greet, study. recreation. travel, seif-re-
spect, and the respect of others. l, for
one, cannot see why those things should
be concentrated more and more In the
hands of few. Two hundred years ago
a proposition for equal political oppor-
tunity would have seemed more absurd
than to-day seems the proposition for
equal opportunity in all things on this
earth for which men strive.
By distributing money evenly l do not
mean to say that all the money in the
country should be cut up into equal bits,
and that everybody should get bit.
But. on the contrary, believe that the
ownership from which money springs
should be vested in the whole community.
In other words. as / understand 1t, am
a socialist. have hardly read book
on socialism, but that which l have Just
enunciated believe in general to be. their
theory. IL 1t be their theory, I am a
socialist You will find. and other adj
vanced liberals and radicals who believe
as do will also find, that you are merely
paltering with skin-deep measures when
you stop short of socialism,
Mayor Dunno at once wrote to Mr.. Pat
terson. accepting his resignation and
promising to reply to his letter in the
near future.
~ have accepted the resignation OF Mr..
Patterson with sincere regrets. said the
Mayor. '.Hc says that he resigned be-
cause he is socialist / do not think
1T was necessary for him to resign. Be
cause he cannot accomplish everything
the socialists want accomplished, he has
evidently become disheartened."
