on education has lasted. The reason
is that he had two distinct conceptions.
both of which were of great value
that education should be universal and

the top down and not from the bottom
up"
DR.. Eliot spoke of the extended tou,

girls enjoy In the high schools here.
He advised the students that II thew

not see some one else do the things
for them.

Receipts for short distance, that is,
shore to ship within a radius Of 900
miles. show an increase of about $1,000
in gross, but on the other hand re-
ceipts for long distance transmission
have fallen off considerably. partly be-

ments affected by Lionel Garden, Eng

w. s. Valentine, lessee of the Inter-

100000, with accumulated interest for
about forty years, brings the total up
to about $10o.000,000.

IS, 00o, 900 without interest within for
ty years. 1t Is agreed that about $780,
