LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES.

The very successful summer school
term OF Lincoln institute closed Aug
ust 18th and September LIST, after
vacation OF two weeks, ushered in the
opening of the fall term with the full
and regular corps Of teachers in hand.
This demonstrates as we have said on
several occasions that Lincoln lnsti-
trte's approximate continuous session
more nearly than any other school OF
its class in the country. II not, let US
hear from the others.
The opening was unusually large;
now at the close Of the second month,
about five hundred students have ina
circulated, and every day adds to the
increasing number. Many states are
represented for this famous school has
become very favorably known under
the administration Of its noble head,
Dr.. B. Allen.
DF. Allen spares neither time nor
pains to make success Of his school,
to keep its standards high and deserves
much credit for the great work he is
doing for his race. The love and es-
teem in which he is held by his facul-
ty and students was publicly indicated
on the occasion of his birthday, Sep.
tember 9th, when the former presented
him with a beautiful silk umbrella,
gold and pearl handle, and the latter
with gold headed cane.
The moral ideal set by DR.. Allen for
his students is very high one, and
his timely chapel and Sunday talks TO
the young men and women who attend
the institution are bound, sooner or Ia.
ter, to bear excellent fruit in the fu-
ture life of these young people.
The literary and industrial work has
secured gold medals in the great expo
sitions or world fairs, and may be seen
in the office as proof Of the estimate
placed upon the work Of the institu.
ton, and each succeeding year brings
with 1t higher standard OF excel
Ience. 5%- @.
The true college and athletic spirit
is endorsed by the administration, mair-
tanned by the students and Lincoln in
stitute's prowess on the gridiron and
diamond are acknowledged far and
wide. The most recent victory, tina,
OF October 18th, with the Brownville
team, showed score Of sixty-one Il
zero in favor Of Lincoln. =,
The religious and literary bodies
show a spirit OF activity that Is very
commendable and they materially help
in creating for the institution healthy
atmosphere.

Considerable complaint is being

committed against their gardens by
a number of middle-aged boys. The
residents raise garden products OF all
description and. according to the
complaint made. these boys. during
their absence and during the night
make raids upon the gardeAs and
willfully and maliciously destroy
the products by pulling them
out OF the ground and tramping up

that unless a cessation was made to
this practice that the matter would
be taken up with the police and the
law invoked.
