MAKING GREAT PROGRESS.
DR.. Eliot Sees Big Advance Education
ally i'm the South.

Washington, D. c., March 30.-Pre-
dictions of a wonderful advance for
the South along educational lines and
for the influence he had exerted upon
the American public school system
formed the features of an address to-
day by DR.. Charles w. Eliot, retiring
president of Harvard University, be-
fore the faculty and student body OF
the Central High School in this city.
The speaker referred to the great
debt which the American universities
and colleges owe to Jefferson, whom
he declared, was one of the greatest
geniuses that the country has ever
produced.
ct is wonderful" said DR.. Eliot, tc
see how the influence Of that one man
on education has lasted. The reason
is that he had two distinct concep-
tions, both of which were of great val
ue-that education should be univer-
sal, and second that it should proceed
from the top down and not from the
hot1om up
DR.. Eliot spoke of the extended to,;l
which he has made in the South il
the interest of education, and which
was concluded at Richmond, a., las
night. Speaking of the movement il
the Southern states, DIR. Eliot said tha
| in a very few years a much large'
number of children are to have tht
same privileges in the South that the
boys and girls enjoy in the higf
schools here. He advised the stu
dents that if they wanted to max.
education effective they must do thu
things themselves by actual conta.
aud observation and not see sonleon,
else do the things for them.

GUATEMALA FOR WAR.
Concentrating Troops ON the Hondu-
ran. FrOntier-OutlOOk Gloomy.

Mexico City, March 30.-Private
telegraphic advices received here to-
day are to the effect that Guatemala
has concentrated a large portion of
her army on the Honduran frontier.
The Honduran minister demanded an
explanation and was told that Presi-
dent Cabrera desired to check the ex-
lied Honduran revolutionists from
crossing the border and fomenting an
uprising against General Davila,
president of Honduras. This concen-
tration of troops has not been con-
firmed from other quarters.
The situation in Central America is
regarded in Mexico City with pessi-
mism in spite of the various denials
of hostile intention. This latest re-
ported movement on the part Of Pres
ident Cabrera is thought to have
been taken to checkmate President
zelaya, of Nicaragua, and President
Davila, who are said to contemplate a
Joint assault on Guatemala.
