"Thc Merchant Of VcnIce.' ;,

The popularity of the Shakespear-
can drama needs no defense when II Is
portrayed by an actor of genuine fit
ness for the task he has undertaken.
The plays written by Shakespeare,
and those which because of their su-
perior quality may be generally clas-
sifled as "Shakespearean," never lack
an enthusiastic and multitudinous fol-
lowing when they are adequately pre-
sented. This has been demonstrated
many times and oft w Charles V,
Hanford's presentations.
Mr. Hanford has won each year an
increased popularity until now 1t is the
exception when his audience is not as
large a one as II is possible for the
theater to accommodate. Mr., Hanford
has studied the public even as closely
as the public has observed Mr.. Han
ford.
Convinced that his best work was
done in the great legitimate roles,
and finding this conviction approved

n. w. Thompson makes an inter-
esting statement respecting the ad-
vantages of this valley for the raising
of horses, says the Boise Statesman.
He says he never knew of another
section where horses do so well. The
valley, he has no hesitation in saying,
is easily ahead of every other part of
the country of which he has any
knowledge. Recently Mr.. Thompson
brought a shipment of young horses
here. He has found they thrive won-
derfully, their development far ex-
ceeding what could have been looked
for in Iowa. With less hay, and with
grain allowances cut down, they have
made phenomenal growth. One ami
male 80 months old. that weighed
100 pounds when landed here, has
increased to 1000.

Northern students who attend it dur
inc the winter term. 1t has proved to
be a distinct and positive blessing to
both the Northern and the Florida
students who mingle together in the
University Both learn to esteem each
other highly. There never has been
the least friction between them. The
special advantages offered to Florida
students are as follows:
l. There are 81 free tuition schol-
arships, each one $72.6o, offered an
nually to graduates of 10 High Schools
of Florida, two being assigned to each
school The High Schools on the
list are those at Jacksonville, St.
Augustine, Gainesville, Pensacola, Pa
latka, Ocala, Daytona, Tampa, ks
simmee Orlando, Lakeland, Leesbure,
Plant City and Miami. These are scat
tered well over the state and these

these communities TO train leaders.

of the fund.
5. A loan fund has been started
for the benefit of Florida boys only.
This fund enabled two boys to attend
the University this year.
g. The Stetson scholarships and the
Mcbride scholarship are used at pres
ent for Florida boys and girls. Their
use is not limited. but the Florida
boys and girls get the benefit of it
7. Thirty positions in the Univer-
sity are assigned to Florida boys and
girls-chiefy boys. These pay tuition
or partial board for service to the
University as monitors, janitors, lab
oratory and library assistants, mail
carrier, bookseller, attendants, assist
ants to professors, etc. There are 81
such positions in all-two are held
by Northern boys-the rest are all
held by Florida boys. In the distri-
button of these aids preference is Civ

themselves for their ability and worth.

thing in advance in regard to para
graph T. 1t must have efficient ser
vice, and gives the places to those
who have proved themselves.

Stetson University, and the younger ones
in the public school.
Owing to our mild climate many parents
from the North come to DeLand with their
children and enter them either IN the
University or the public schools. Students
of frail constitutions who are unable to
pursue their studies in the North during
the winter months, have no difficulty
whatever in keeping up with their work
in our mild. agreeable climate. The hours
not spent in study or the classroom can
be devoted to the accumulation of health
and vigor from our almost constant sum
shine and balmy breezes.
