forces irresistibly the conviction that

showing by Col. LaEned is the most
scandalous and humifating one that
has been made to American people for
years Moreover. it 10 alarming; it in

sure but good thing would be to give
High School Scholarships only to those
who on examination could establish their
claim to it. It 10 . swindle for the
country to expend $500. O00. 600 annually
on pupils who have not the pride and
energy to master the elementary
branches Of an education. Think Of
young man who had been ten years in
school replying that the Congo river

to the board Of education Of this city
that they drop in upon the schools
and see If the our schools are in
the deplorable state that most of
the Eastern schools are. The showing
at West Point proved another fact.
that very many of the parents of this
country are not fit to be fathers ard
