BFLGIUMS TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN

year-old sou to Washington to enter him IN

The school in which the boy will matricuate

1t is Il matter of commendable pride to cti-
zens of the United States that in all sections OF
the nation increasing attention is given to the
perfection of the public school system More
and more it has been divorced from the realm
OF politics and placed in the hands OF expert
and experienced educators. until in many
cities thorough preparatory and academic
training can be secured by tho boys and girls
of the community at public cost. Indeed re-
cent years have Witnessed such growing popu

that In many sections the private classical
school is beginning to disappear

school In inspiring the spirit of democracy

independence; in teaching the great lesson that

Sr,-Wil you please give an old Vet
little space in your valuable paper. At our
October court, w. r. Duke. the son OF that
grand old veteran Colonel Duke, deceased,
made most powerful appeal in behalf OF the
old veterans of the State, and made an earnest
appeal for the poor old fellows that are SPEND
ing their last days in the poorhouse or the
State. The writer wrote to eighty-odd super
intendents of the poor enclosing postcards Tor
reply, asking for the number OF, old veterans
in the pOorhouse of the State. | have gotten
replies from fifty superintendent, giving the
number In their institutions (56) hfty-siX.
Now, it is a shame that those old fellows
should be degraded. Mr.. Duke proposed
that a bill be drawn and acted upon giving
all destitute old veterans SIX dollars per month,
to let them live among their friends in
stead OF being dsgraeed by being sent to the
poorhouse and filing paupers' graves. the
average age of the old veterans is about sew
enty-three. Please ask Newport News papers
to copy.
Yours truly,
]. s. HOPKINS.

like hundred old veterans in the poor
house of the State. J. S. II.

Effects OF Whiskcy Mental and Muscular
Labor,


At the recent meeting of the Alpha Omega
Alpha Society of the University of Pennsyl-
vana, Professor Graham Lusk of Cornell Uni
versity delivered notable address, summar-
1zing the conclusions of eminent scientists con-
corning the effects of alcohol on mental and
muscular labor. In part, he said;
For the first few minutes after taking alco-
mol, IT has been found that larger quantity
of physical work may be performed. This is
followed, however. by period of depression
during which the quantity Of mechanical en-
ergy which may be expended by the individual
is greatly reduced. The sum total of the eff
feet is very decidedly to reduce the amount of

alcohol is no longer given to soldiers the

ance. The actual result would be quite the
contrary"
Experiments made with regard to the In
huence of alcohol on the activity of the brain
show similar results

found that those who had partaken Of alco-
hol made q greater number pf errors and

lasts as long twenty~four hours after alcohol

taken alcohol thought they doing their
work to better advantage than those who had

Other experiments have been made upon
people, the test being the length of time which
was required to memorize twenty-five lines Of
poetry. Here when alcohol taken before
breakfast, II found that the length Of time
required to me1norze Increased 60 per

quested 10 repeat the lines which they had
learned, ii was found that they did so less
readily and made more errors when they had
previously taken alcohol, than when they were
