pie n is being given TO the people.
Education aims to give more life
to the individual, and mare life for
more individuals. 1t Is true that
knowledge enlarges ones world and
contributes to his survival. His hori-
zon is widened, his ideas and ideals
are enlarged, he discovers a deeper
meaning in things, life takes on other
and better aspects; in short, he pos
sesses a larger life. This larger life,
more life, Is becoming possible for
more individuals. While this Is true,
there remains yet much to be desired
in our public schools, high schools
and colleges. Let us remeIber that
in our system the higher the grade
the fewer the pupils; that out of one
hundred pupils who enter public
schools only twenty-five stay long
enough to read and write; that only
twenty out of N hundred stay longer
than the fifth grade; h a less than
one out Of one hundred who enter
our public schools graduate from the
high schools; that a small proportion
Of high school graduates enter COL
lege, and that a small percentage OF
those who enter college remain until
g%raduation; all this in the face Of
the fact hat our system is graded
largely toward the university. If ed
ucation gives life it should give more
life to a greater number Of indi-
viduals. Jesus taught that the ninety
and nine that were safe within the
fold could not furnish an excuse for
the neglect Of the one that was away.
| With these things in mind should we
rest content with that system which
| saves the one to the neglect of the
ninety and nine?

The building, situated on the east

TWenty-one games lost and eight won
since they left Washington on the night
OF May IS is the record Of WashingtOn's
official representatives in the American
League. but at that we viii be glad TO
see them back if only to take our minds
Off the weather.
Tomorrow they will be in our midst
and begin right of the bat with two
games tomorrow afternoon with New
York. The dOuble-header viii not be
too much in the way OF baseball for
the first appearance after an absence
Of thirty-fOur days. and il is a good bet
that the usual big crowd Of rooters
viii be on hand TO take look for them
selves.
The showing Of the Washington club
on the road has been miserable, but no
worse than shat OF New York. and in
about three-fourths, OF their games the
Nationals have played excellent base
bail. A general survey Of the accounts
Of the games shows that Washington
has been playing the great American
pastime with considerable ability in -ev-
cry way Except IN the matter of getting
enough runs.
The contests have seldom been farci-
cal, as is usually the case with a large
proportion Of the games of tailenders,
The fielding has been brilliant at times,
and no fault could be found with the
pitching records. The trouble has been
not so much in the lack OF hits as in
the poor luck IN punching them. An
evidence of the uncertainty of the
game is 10 be found In the frequency
with which the weaker hItters, like
Shipke, Mcbride, and Freeman, have
driven IN runs, while such confcssedly
good batters as Clymer, Pickering, and
Ganley have failed 10 connect at the
psychological moment
50 much has been written along this
line that IL is not necessary TO dwell
upon II again, except TO say that the
team is not joke by any means and still
has the capacity 10 win much larger
percentage OF games for the season than
IL has on the trip which ends in Phil
adelphia today. When you stop 70 think
of II, the Washington club has WOE
y and lost 80 games. or, in other words,
II mas won slightly more than one game
in three, which is not the worst showing
In the world by any means. Because the
team has dropped games in punches the
casual fan gets the idea that IL can
never win, yet the figures show that on
the whole il IS not doing as badly as
might be supposed, and up TO the time
the club left home iJ was only a little
snort OF having won every other game.
~ 1ouuB yeSlGIudy came WITHIN one
OF repeating the celebrated record he
made on May ., 1901, when he shut out
the Athletics without "A hit or run and
not a man reached first base. Yesterday
he shut out New YORK in New York
without a hit or run, and Niles, who
received a pass in the FIRST inning, was
the only man 10 reach first base. Just
tWeuty-seven men went 70 bat As has
been remarked, to have Young in the
game furnishes a brutal and demoraIiz-
ing exhibition which some Of the ants
or reformers should notice The calm
evenness with which he mows down the
opposition when he should be Chunkiug
