PURSUIT OF "PLUMKs" KILLS GREEK
Only % Pupils in Minnesota Schools
Study Dead Language. G. F.
Not Among Number.

Greek is dead, dead as the milk
ordinance recently agitated by the
Grand Forks Commercial club.
Greek was reported dead, in fact,
some time ago, but even now the
place of it's burial lies forgotten.
According to statistics now on
hand among the $4,000 high school
pupils in Minnesota last year, "a
took Greek-one in Duluth, one in
Ely and % in the Cleveland school,
st. Paul. And this year st. Paul has
dropped it.
Forks is not on the Greek letter list.
Greek is ausgespielt.
Instead they study English. me-
chanical drawing, more English, chem
istry, manual training, shorthand and
typewriting, commercial arithmetic
commercial law. and that sort of
thing.
Greek used to be the essence of
higher education. And in way it
was useful to hatch out bald spots on
craniums bursting with learning. Now
adays they have other ways of rails
ing bald spots with scientific recearch
and strenuous pursuit of a million
''plunks." 1t is for the pursuit of
plunks that modern education is de-
vised.
Good Old Days.
In the good old days it was the
aim of education to enable one to
recite glibly Then up and spake with
his mouth his Nibs, the swift-footed
Achilles" And if one could place the
caesura and tell which was a dactyl
and which was a spondee he was sup
posed to be swimming in culture.
English? Teach that in dame
schools where they learn the alb, abs.
Might as we'll teach eating and sleep
ing.
In those days strong man with a
bullying intellect and shiny black
hat devoted lifetime to creating a
monumental work on the use of the
particles de and ge pronounced deb
and gayD This generation has no
time for that sort of thing and doesn't
care whoop for the difference be-
tween the optative aorist and the plu-
perfect subjunctive.
What time this generation is not
occupied making money it is too busy
living.

wise result in unmanly ways. 1t is
apparent that not only in the insti-
buttons of higher learning but also in
elementary and secondary schools an
athletic training is of vital import
ance in the course. To succeed in
getting the educative, recreation and
hygienic effects of athletic practice
without its evils should be the en-
deavor of every college, university
and school,"

This was busy morning at police
court The expected wave Of re-
form must have some way gotten de-
flected, and went around by Grafton.
There was three sections this morn
ing. The first was the put-up fines
declared forfeited by the non-ap.
pearance of the putter up. In this
division there was four of IS and
costs and one of So and costs. The
second division was composed of
FIVE DRINKS, two of which drew $40
and three So and costs. OF this lot
one paid SO. The third division
was the banner lot, one SIS and four
So and costs. The five dollar one
paid up. Two gums" were escort
ed out Of town, and the rest are max
ing desperate efforts to raise the
wind. One man told the truth this
morning and at the same time ut
tered truism that is worth little
reflection When asked if he want
ed to pay his fine he said @no.n

AGED G0NV|cTS
ARE CRAZY

-Four conyicts have been adjudg-
ed insane BY Squire Ruckman, Of
Moundsville, after hearing the testi-
mony Of two physicians, Warden
Haddox and several guards. OF the
four, the youngest was past so years
Iof ageand the other three well up
in the seventies. They we're Brown
Lipscomb, colored, and Church
Combs, jackson Jeffries and John
Shay, white, all serving time for
murder, three killing their victims
through jealousy, alleging undue in
|timaey with their wives.
Lipscomb was serving & nine
year sentence. He went daft on
religion and would exhaust himself
i'm prayer each night before retir-
ing.
Combs is veteran Of the Confed-
crate army. He was married three
times and has l6 children. Anxiety
over his children unbalanced his
mind. He had a hallucination that
his children were suffering and
imagined he heard them CRYING.
When the spell was on him it was
pitiable to hear him trying to con-
sole them with expressions Of tender
sympathy.
Shay, although 10 years old, was |
the most thorough mechanic in the
penitentiary. He was sent up from
Wetzel county on an indeterminate
sentence of from / to is years, for
murder. He had lucid periods when
he was perfectly sane. He attri-
butes his affection to blow on the
head with a hammer which he receiy-
ed a number of years ago while |
working in a machine shop in Pitts
burg.
Jeffries, rs years Of age, became
insane over financial matters. He
was well educated and in his lucid
intervals talked very intelligently.
They will be removed to the Wes-
ION asylum as soon as arrangements
nave been made to receive them.

GAWTHROP STRIKES
PLENTY OF GOLD

A Boise City, idaho, paper speaks
as follows Of a mining property III
idaho, partly owned by j. c. Cav
throp, formerly of this county:
20. E. England has received in
teresting news from the Mammoth
property on Rapid river, seven miles
from Pollock. The property was
discovered by J. c. Gawthrop and is
owned by him, Max Thompson and
Mr.. England.
"There are three lodges ON the
property. One of these is so feet
wide. Mr.. Gawthrop has sent in
what is thought to be a sample of
the average of the entire so feet.
Mr.. England had it assayed and got
$23 ton in gold, s2.75 in silver,
and is per cent. copper. The best
ore assays over 800.
"The development so far has been
merely assessment work, though
much more than the required
amount has been done. 1t shows the
5o-foot ledge in good shape and IN
dicates that the property is likely to
prove of great value.

HUGE TURTLE TAKEN ILL
Fearing II Would Die the Mon
ster Was Consigned TO the Surf

About month ago big sea turtle,
weighing upwards of 100 pounds, was
captured in the pound nets, and since
that time has teen on exhibition at the
Ocean Pier A low tank had been pro-
vided for the prisoner so that visitors
might more easily get view of the
monster turtle.
For day or two last week it was
noticed that the big saurian was ill.,
and fearing it would die it was thought
best to return it to the water. About
noon Friday the turtle was TAX
Ell from its abode and with difficulty
pushed into the sea, but not until a
party of ladies who We're basking in
the sun on the beach had been fright
ened. As the turtle was making its
way into deep water it brushed by
them and for moment pandemonium
reigned.

A Charming Brunette Accepts
n Dare

Miss Anna O'Neill, daughter of a
Holly Beach coltager, one of the most
attractive young ladies who promenade
the boardwalk, brunette of the most
pronounced type with the jollity of a
true American girl, accepted a chal-
lenge from member of the Board of
Trade bureau to distribute some of the
Boards booklets among the throng of
visitors ON the walk one afternoon re-
Gently.
Miss O Neill started out with 200
books, and with her bonny, black eyes
flashing, her sparkling white teeth
showing from her smiling lips, she
was soon out of books, for which all
the men on the walk, not to speak of
the ladies, were eager applicants.
Miss O'Neill was assisted by her
roguish sister and Miss Green, news
paper lady of Columbia, Pa. Miss
O'Neill will each night put out an arm
load of Board of Trade booklets, so
don't all want one at once, boys.
