MEN AND THE CHURCH.

The progressive churchmen of America
have long been considering the means OF
bringing more men into the church, and
many methods have been tried. Now the
church realizes the fact that the real
men are less inclined to attend church
services and take active part in church
affairs, yield to purely church influences
than any time in church history. There
are many reasons for this, some say it is
because the church is too theoretically
religious and not sufficiently practical
in its teaching Men are more actually
interested in this, and while they all de-
sire to go to heaven when they die,
they are quite anxious to make the best
of life in this world.
There are great many men who
would gladly go, listen with close atten-
ton, and strive to follow the teaching
of any man or any number OF men who
could tell them how they might better
their daily life be more useful to their
neighbors and get some good thought and
advice on Sunday unat they could carry
on Monday out into the workaday world.

THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL SITE.
just why Howard Hill should be
chosen as a proper location for Normal
School No. 2, / cannot understand, nor
does any one seem able to enlighten me.
The sole argument advanced in favor Of
the Balloch site on or near Brightwood
avenue and close to Howard University,
is the cheapness of the land, Whatever
the price may be and what relative differ
ence there may be in the cost, and the
cost of one more centrally located, it
may be fairly said that it is dear at
any price. and the cash saved BY the
Government will be spent hundred fold
by parents and pupils in car fare anc
other incidentals created by a long daily
journey to such an out-of-the.way school
it will cost the great majority of teach
ers and pupils two car fares II day tc
reach this school.

ANOTHER VIEWPOINT.

Now that the Jeilries-J omson prize
fight is over, the State of Nevada should
become civilized IL is the only State
in the Union in which a fight to the
finish is lawful, Nevada owes it both to
itself and to the rest of the country to
repeal this relic of barbarism. In spite
of the hundreds of reamS of good white
paper which were wasted by more or
lass literary gentlemen in supplying the
demand ante-hght accounts of the do
ings of the fighters, including not only
the routine of their training camps but
the trivial incidents of their whole past
lives (greatly idealized) all intelligent
men and women, when frank with them
selves, know that prize fighting is brutal
to the last degree
To pretend that it is necessary to
cultivate love of manly strength and
courage Is balderdash. The manifest and
strongest men we have are not those who
take part in prize fights, The associa-
tion of the prize ring are anything but
elevating morally, socially, or in any
other direction.
The big corporations of this country
are every day sending up q call for
strong aggressive, courageous young
men, but it is not recommendation to
them to say of Young man that he
is u follower of istiania" 1--WE believe
that is one Of the technical phrases Of
the SPORTY - Huntington Herald Dis
patch.

/ do not perceive the 'raison d'etre''
as my French friends say of prescribing
the location of Normal School No. 2 to
these bounds, nor can learn why Con.
gress should place that stipulation and
restriction in the appropriation bill, nor
why the Commissioners should make such
Recommendation, nor why the School
Board should unanimously adopt the
proposition to place a school in de-
cidedly and plainly evident undesirable
location | may be fair in presuming
that the location in question was con
sidered before the bill was presented tc
Congress and that isiwhy the bounds ot
selection were so fixed, If this is true
a wealth of suggestion as to other things
connected with the selection of this site
is at hand. | shall endeavor to verify
some of these suggestions, and will be
glad to have anybody who knows any
