LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES.

Monday, January 4, 1909, found the
| faculty and students of Lincoln lnsti.
tute back in their respective places
ready and enthusiastic for work after
round Of holiday pleasure.
Many new students encouraged by
the excellent reports of those who
went home, have matriculated with the
beginning Of the new year and are now
hard at work.
The Missouri legislature is in ses-
sion, and many legislators, with their
families and friends, have already
come out to visit the institution, and
with one accord all have expressed
themselves to DR.. Allen as extremely
pleased with all they have seen in the
various literary and industrial depart
n1ents.
It is interesting to note that the
gavels used in the senate and the
house of representatives were made by
young men in the Mechanical depart.
ment, were presented by DR.. Allen, and
received in both houses with hearty ap.
plause. In fact, nothing but good
words are heard on all sides from the
legislators, for the excellent work that
is being done by Lincoln Institute
through President Allen and his faith
full faculty.
Many Of the graduates of the insti-
tuition who are now engaged in teach
ing were present at the recent Teach
ers' association in Kansas City, and
all Of these graduates showed inimit-
able signs of progress and general
prosperity, thus speaking we'll for the
character of the training which they
received while here.
In far greater degree than in
most schools devoted to the interests
Of higher rather than elementary edit
cation. AS is rightly expected in nor
NAL and college work. Lincoln Insti-
tute, throughout the entire course,
places great stress upon correct Eng
lish, reading, spelling, penmanship,
etc. There are frequent reviews in the
every day use Of English; monthly
spelling matches; daily practice in the
writing of business forms. In other
words, DR.. Allen is attempting to build
up great school whose graduates
may 60 forth into the world and be
able to do things, both quickly and
we'll. .-..- .

Concrete Not Modern.

Concrete Is very ancient material
for construction, but reinforced con-
crete is scarcely half century old.
1t is said to have started in a happy
idea that c;Ane to a Frenchman who
wanted large flower pots for his plants
which should not be thick and clumsy.
He reinforced them with wire. Now
adays we sec glass reinforced in the
same way, especially about elevatro
shafts. 49,
Coignet and others developed the
reinforcement of concrete for build
ings, at first merely useful buildings
like Conservatives. AS early as 1874
concrete villa was built on the north
shore of Long Island sound, but 1T
was many years before the idea took"
here, although in France, Belgium and
Germany it was seized upon with avid.

The Truly to Be Pitied.

Stevenson: Pitiful is the case Of the
blind, who cannot read the face; pitt
full the case Of the deaf, who cannot
follow the changes Of the voice. And
there are others, also, to be pitied. for
there are some Of an inert and inelo.
quent nature who have been denied
all the symbols of communication, who
have neither a lively play Of facial ex.
preston, nor yet the gift of frank, ex.
planatory speech; people truly made
OF clay, people tied for life into a bag
which no one can undo. They are
poorer than the gypsy, for their heart
can speak no language under heaven.

ernor Cummins thus elevated to seat

blood so well equipped as Senator
Cummins of Iowa, Senator Knox of
New York, Senator Crawford of South

Senator Brown of Nebraska the country
may expect to hear from these men.
They are able, ripe in age and expert
