School Report.

This is our tenth week of the
school year. The central school in
the largest county in the United
States should be good one.
We notice some neat geography
papers on exhibition in the seventh
grade.
Mushrooms grow in a night, the
Oak tree takes centuries.
Prof. Hibbard said, You must
have a good janitor, everything is
so nice and clean.
Miss Long said, "The best is none
too good for the child at school. -
Pupils in the High School gave
an afternoon program, last Friday.
An interesting feature was quota
tions from our teachers. The next
program will be on Friday after
noon, Nov. 22nd., beginning at
2 o'clock. You are invited to at
tend when possible.
Many schools are introducing
manual training for boys and sew
ing and domestic science for girls
with most excellent results.
We omitted to mention last week
that Master Hugh Taylor is again
at school in the fifth grade. 1t will
be remembered that he jumped
from the school house wood piles
some seven weeks ago and broke
his leg.
Miss Ester Knox missed last
week of school on account of sick
ness.
To deprive child of his educa-
tion is a greater crime than to rob
him of his money when grown.
The clsss in Physics are studying
machines and have made several
visits to near by shops to better
understand the machine under con
sidcration. On Tuesday they
visited the steam Laundry to see
the centrifugal dryer and on We'd
nesdsy to study the turning lathe
at Mr.. Turner's shop on Main street.
The proprietors and helpers in
these and other places visited de-
serve our thanks for their kindness
in showing and explaining the ma
chimes.
In talking of schools and their
work most people do not perhaps
think or speak Of the ianitor and
his work, but any one who will
! follow his work from dawn till late
at night will better realize how ex-
acting the work is. AS teachers
and pupilS we who expect things
to be kept "spink and span" nice
and clean, should be careful not to
make extra work by our careless.
ness. A little care on our part may
often save much work and time
for our janitor and thus give him
more time to clean where we most
desire to keep busted and cleaned

Crushed and Inundated by the loss OF

between Notre Dame and Wabash.

in national bowling tournaments. In

In the doubles J. and C. Schmidt of
st. Louis are still the best with their
total of 1853, made yesterday.
The work of the ave-men teams

In the Way of Sport
WABASH WILD WITH JOY.
Students Can Scarcely Contain Them
selves For Happiness Over
Their Victory.

Charlottesville. Ind, March 10
The students of Wabash college are
wild with joy over the victory achieved
by capturing the indoor intercollegiate
track and field championship of the
state at the big triangular meet held
at South Bend Saturday. This is the
first time in the history of the
Athenian institution that the coveted
honor in this branch of athletics has
fallen to Wabash. Although the locals
won the meet by the sensational finish
Of Blair in the last event, the relay
race, the entire team is sharing in
the glory and the men are being con-
graduated on all sides.
Contrary to the reports sent out
from Notre Dame, the final score stood:
Wabash, 43; Notre Dame, 3915, and In
diana University, 201a. The error arose
in crediting the other two schools
with making points in the relay race.
Second and third places, however did
not count for points in this event, five
points being awarded the winning
team alone.

GAIN IN EeYpr's POPULATION.
Next census Is Expected to Show
a Good Increase.

Egypt II TO have a new census
taken. Taking the census in Egypt,
and, in fact, in all eastern countries
is an extremely difficult and delicate
task, as from the time immemorial the
ordeal has been looked upon with dis
favor Of orientals. The population OF
Egypt has been very irregular one,
varying in proportion as the country
came under the subsection OF success
siye invaders. Thus, when Egypt be-
came Roman province IN B. c. 80
her population was estimated at about
100000.
That peace counts for a great factor
in the increase of Egyptian population
can be proved by the fact that in
1897 the census gave the total as
9,734,405 or an increase of 43 per
cent in Is years. With that as a
basis, taking into consideration that
there have been no events calculated
to cause a decrease, that the Egyp-
tians are prolific race and that the
prosperity of the past decade has at
tracted numbers of foreigners to the
country, one would not be far wrong
in computing the figures of the next
census to be over $4,000, 000-rather
more than less.

Gold Mining In Siberia.

A curious and characteristic fea-
ture of mining in the Orsk gold field,
Siberia, is the way the ground is
prospected and opened up by peas
ant 'tributors." Permission is read
lily granted to sink shafts wherever
they like, subject to the conditions
that they can go down only as far
as water level, usually about 60 feet,
and that all the quartz extracted
must be treated at the mill of the
ground landlord and all gold extract
ed sold to him at a rate previously
decided upon, leaving fair profit for
the peasant and an extra good one for
the landlord. There is no philanthro-
ply about the transaction, and the
peasant is in no way bound to accept
the terms. No charge whatever is
made for the use of mill. The field
is thus practically developed for moth
ing-rich reefs which would prob
ably remain undiscovered are opened
up by "tributors," who frequently
make fortunes out of rich strikes.
The mine owner is thus continually
in touch with all that is going on,
and duly records the results of the
operations for his own benefit.
