prompted to initiate.

Doctor Alderman has recently returned from a trim
to New York, where he attended the annual meeting
OF the Southern Education Board. This Board is
composed of Southern and Northern men of promi-
nence, who cooperating with Southern education
al olhclals IN carrying on campaign for public
schools. From New York, DR.. Alderman went to
Chicago TO make address at the annual banquet
OF the Commercial Club of that city. He also at
tended breakfast, to which invited to meet
him ten presidents of Western universities.
This year. there has been revival of the former
University custom of having inaugural addresses from
the new professors. The first address of this session
was delivered by Doctor Albert Leevre Professor of
Logic and Psychology, on the subject, PHILOSOPHY
and Life" After describing the of the mis-
taken impression that philosophy bears no relation
whatsoever to life the speaker maintained that phil
osophy arises directly out of the practical needs of
self-conscous beings Philosophy was treated first,
as the pre-supposition and secondly as the culmna-
ton of all human thinking and action. Its problems
are the common heritage of all men, In practical
effect DIR. Lefevre stated that philosophy is seen to
be persistent struggle against one-sidedress and
tanaticism. Viewed object of intellectual in
terest, the history of thought justly claims high
place In education. 1t is at least important as
the history of events. Moreover, the student in
learning the thoughts of others, learn how to think
for himself and how TO develop his own selfconscious
personality.
Dr. Herbert L. Wllett, of the University of Chica-
CO. has lately spent ten days at the University of Vr-

Hgious subjects. The students were very much in
terested in Dr. Willets discussions and received con.
siderable benefit therefrom

tional draught on State Finances. and second.
that the Commonwealth has established and
equipped institutions which are doing the col
lege work, between the High Schools and Uni
versity and Professional Schools, without
charge upon State Funds The writer says, and
says wisely, we think;
1t is well known and most important fact that
in Virginia, that part of general system literary
education which is designated as higher education
or collegiate education, is conducted almost exclu-
s1Vely by the Independent college-Emory and Hen
ry, Hampden- Sidney, Richmond Randolph Macon
Roanoke Washington and Lee, William and Mary
These colleges do this work. and do it most effec-
lively and satisfactorily, without drawing upon the
State for single dollar. They are, in a proper
sense recognized part of the system of educati ton
in the State. Now, would it be wise for the State
to undertake to own and conduct college at large
expense in competition with these institutions
which she ought to foster and encourage? These
college have total yearly income and expenditure
of about $4,000; they nearly million and
half Of productive funds; and estimate that their
plants and equipments would aggregate three or
-FOUR millions more. And all this is practically put
at the service of the State in supplying less
than cost that large fraction of general education
which is known collegiate education
Should not the State recognize these facts and in
all practicable ways encourage the colleges in their
great work and not, by competition or otherwise
embarrass or hinder their efforts? 1 sincerely trust
that, whatever the Legislature may do with regard
to the normal department of William and Mary IT
will promptly decline to assume the ownership and
management of the college SUCH but will leave
it to pursue its way as a distinguished member of
that group of independent self-sustainng colleges
which, in connection with the indispensable univer-
sity' are conducting in such splendid fashion the
higher literary education of our people

protest and appeal signed by ffty-two mis-
sionaries, representing seven nationalities,
working on the Congo river has been published.
The document expresses great disappointment
that the memorial presented the sovereign of the
State, through the Governor General, on March l.
1904 has ELECTED reply and regret that
the report of the commission of inquiry as publish
ed does not convey to the general public an ade-
quate impression of what has occurred so much
evidence presented being omitted or only referred
to in very modified terms 1t says:
eve emphatfcally protest against the terrible
state of affairs still existing in the Congo State
and we appeal in the name of justice, liberty and
humanity to those who value those blessings to
help in every lawful to secure them for all the
Congo people," -
The nationalities represented among the sgners
were: The United States Great Britain Canada
Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
The report of Leopold's Commission of In
quiry has evidently not given satisfaction to the
mission workers on the ground. They must be
well informed as to the conditions existing.
They have reasons to be at peace with the Congo
government, if possible. 1t seems as if they
have acted with entire unanimity. Notwith-
standing Secretary Roots opinion that the
United States government has no ground for
interference, our nation is one of great power
and influence, and stands before the world for
humanity and Christian civilization. Leopold
could not refuse to heed an outspoken remon-
STRANGE from President Roosevelt.

Whenever the United States has been
at war with any other country ii has
always been Il matter for serious com
plant on the other side that the Amer
leans take accurate aim before firing
with extremely fatal results How eX
cellent was the craftsmanship of the
volunteers on Bunker Hill is a matter
of record. There is an interesting en-
try in the diary of John Narrower, an
indentured schoolmaster of Virginia.
Colonel Washington of this colony"
he wrote, being appointed generals
simo of all the American forces raised
and to be raised, made Il demand OF
500 rifemen from the frontiers of this
colony. But those that insisted on go
ing far exceeded the number wanted,
when, in order to avoid giving offense,
the Commanding Officer chuse bis
company by the following method.
"IIe took a board of foot square
and with chalk drew the shape of a
moderate nose in the center and nailed
it up to a tree at $50 yards distance,
and those who came highest the mark
with IL single ball was to 90 But by
the first forty or fifty that fired the
nose was all blown out of the board,
and by the time his company was up
the whole board had shared the same
fate"

good as the offer of 500 per acre for
large tract of land adjacent to this
city for the privilege of mining any
where thereon, the party now owning
the land to remain its owner, but not
to receive royalty on any ores taken
therefrom.
And now it is surmised that the
mining fever will strike Darlington in
the near future because of the finding
of jack few miles north of there.
Darlington was thought to be without
the mining belt.

TO the effect that person can enter a
certain shaft close TO the southeastern

a little beyond the high school building,

can vouch for this ? If correct, it means
that that section has been pretty thor
