CHURCH HAS PLACE IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
Nv Edmund f. James

If we were to close all the schools
supported by the church, we should
deal an almost irremediable blow TO
the system of higher education. Con-
sequently, in the interests of the COM
munity itself pure and simple, with no
reference to the church at all, 1t
would be serious injury to the inter
ests of higher education If the church
should no longer take that active and
keen interest in it which has been
characteristic of the church from the

Ell ECTRICAL SUPPLY
COMPANY'S FIELD

The National Electrical Supply Company
IS the successor of the old firm of Royce q
Mareau who started in the electrical Dust
ness in Washington in 1870, occupying
small room on Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween 14th and 18th streets. From this
room they developed into an establishment
occupying one room and a basement in a
building eighteen by forty feet. There
they remained for ten years. wle,i they
removed to an adjacent building. 1t was
thought at that time the quarters would be
ADEQUATE for the business for Indny years
to come. but II was only a question OF a
short time until still larger quarters were
needed and they moved to the Lehman
building 1423 New York avenue, occupying
the whole building, containing three 1oois.
1t was while occupying this building, 1423
New York avenue. that the National Elec-
trical Supply Company was organized
through the efforts of Mr. E. c. Graham.
Within one year. under the management
of the president, Mr. f. c. Graham IT was
necessary to find larger quarters, owing to
the rapidly increasing business, and they
moved 10 1i17 New York avenue. 1t was
thought at that time. With this large and
spacious building they would have sutfi-
cient space to properly take care of their
business for many years to come, but again

GREAT WOMEN OF THE ORIENT.
Hatshepsu, Who Was Crowned King
of Egypt.

One of the greatest work of archaeology
cal exploration of recent years is that
which the Egypt exploration fund has
been for more than ten years engaged
upon-the clearing and partial restoration
of the great temple of Amen and Hathor
at Dierel-Bahari, near Thebes. There were
two temples at Dier-el-Bahari the older
the funeral temple of King Menthuetep
III of the twelfth dynasty, about b. c.

by the great Queen Hatshepsu about B., C.
1900.
This latter temple is the one on which
SO much time and money have been ex-
pended. The outlay has not been wasted
for we have restored to us the memorials
of the life and deeds of one of the most
remarkable women the orient has ever
produced, writes w. st. Chad Boscawen
