J. r. TUCKER.
Bedford City, Va, November 81.
This communication from Judge
Tucker whose scholarship is well
known TO the people of Virginia,
puts the case excellently for
those who believe that these so-called
dead languages yet breathe a
vital influence upon the educa-
ton of this day and time. For
our part, we confess to the hope
that both these languages never shall
pass from the school curriculum
This is time when the advocates OF
new things under the sun would

that so rich and so profitable a study

A CLASSICAL COLLEGE.

The Amherst class of 1885 has Just
presented unique memorial to the
board of trustees of that institution.
The class petitions that the instruc-
tion given in Amherst be restricted
to "a modified classical course"
This is equivalent to request that
the college cease its attempt to COM
pete with the universities and tech
meal schools and devote itself chiefly
to the classics. In other words, re-
version to the old-fashjoned type of
the small college with its unusually
well-equpped faculty and its students
men of thorough and sound learning
is what is thus sought.
Agreeing with us that there is
likely to be some time an overturn
of the present cutlery for Wholesale
technical training the Boston Herald
remarks as to this proposition of the
Amherst class:
Many persons think the classics
still occupy far too large place in
most colleges, though the small rem
nant of uncompromising classcists
insist that we are suffering deteriora-
tion from the comparative neglect into
which the studies have fallen. 1t Is
plain enough. however, that the mass
of American youth for some time to
come will demand a technical rather
than classical education. though no
one can say with confidence that we
shall not yet see a reaction toward
the humanitieS'
There can be no question that the
smaller colleges face a fearful prob
lem when they seek TO compete with
the large universities The endo :
ments Of small colleges are relatively
less, their income is not great their
enrolment is comparati small.
Uneasy lies the head of that college
president who seeks to maintain in
his institution instruction both In tue
humanities and in technical training.
Only the large university can ford

learning properly
There can be little dispute that
Amherst would attract fine set of

demic courage to discard technical
courses and make the classics the

RICHMoND's BUSINESS REpuTA-
TTON

Some days ago, in a Distant state, a
business man was talking, about the
splendid growth of Richmond, especial
ly along commercial lines. 4 think"
said he. that it has grown because of
the reputation which Richmond has all
over the Southland in the North, so
far as 1 know-a reputation built up
through many many years; reputa-
ton for fair square dealing" Then
he compared with it two other South
ern cities, which two. he said, were no.
torious for the untrustworthiness and
crookedness manifested in the trans
actions carried on by their merchants
with outsiders. These two cities, he
asserted, could get hardly any trade
from the territory surrounding them,
because of their evil reputation for
shady commercial dealing.
This bears out the statement made
in the latest issue of the Merchants
Journal and Commerce, of Lynchbu.g,
by j. Oscar Barrett:
"rhe business men of Richmond
have built up a great business by sell
ing the Southern merchant goods OF
quality. The manufacturers and job
bers of Richmond are and have been
successful since the first day of their
inception in business. Each and
every one makes a specially of treat
ing all customers as friends, and doing
right because it is right"
This reputation for square business
dealing, for giving good value, for fair
treatment for all, has, we feel sure,
been mighty factor in the tremend.
Gus increase in the job bling business of
Richmond Much of this increase has
been brought about by purchasers who
were satisfied the first time, and who
have continued to be satisfied.
Look at the cures. In 1900, sS,17o,-
500 was invested in iobbing in this
city; up to January of the present
year, s12,71S,25o was invested-an in
crease of Sc per cent. Jobbers sales
ten years ago amounted to S35,317,2a5;
up to January of the present year
they amounted to s6S,o5o,425--au In
crease in ten years of 90 per cent.
1t is said on good authority that the
year 1910 has evidenced more growth
in the wholesale and jobbing bushes.
of Richmond than has ever been shown
in previous year. L is estimated that
by January i, 1911, the increase of this
city in the wholesale and 1obbing bust
