In late address before Western
Maryland College. President Remsen
OF Johns Hopkins dlated upon the
duty of university teachers to engage
IN extending the domain OF knowledge
and 10 make investigators of their stu
dents. This is work SO often far
removed from ordinary lie as to make
it seem queer. The matter was thus
illustrated BY President Remsen:
For many years IL was my duty at
the johns Hopkins University 10 pre-
sent at our commencements the cand!-
dates for the degree OF doctor OF phi
losophy. and our president thought
that II would interest the audiences to
hear the titles OF the dissertations of
the candidates The invariable result
loud laughter from the audience A
few examples may help you to sppre-
ciate what I am saying: On recent
lists / find these titles: Tho Reactions
of Sodium Ethylate with Alkyl IIalldes
Action of Aniline and Toluidine on
acknowledgements Acid. Paraxylenc-
sulphonic Acid. Reaction OF Par
Observation-Disclosures Acid with
Ethyl Alcohol. TO those who know
nothing whatever about the subjects
treated of the titles sound ridiculous
described Is valuable. and that In each
case something is added to the worlds
stock of knowledge.
Young scholars it may be added
can certainly select the most out-of-
the-way and unheard-of matters to
dig into.

How terrible It would have been If
Hepburn, Of Idaho had been in Macon
last Tuesday afternoon instead of
Washington, II ne had been in the
fine old Georgia city. ne could hardly
have failed to see the big parade that
day Of the colored knights Of Pythias,
with four bands in the line of march,
and an almost endless train OF for
mer slaves and their descendants. How
much more Infamous" would have
seemed the cause of the confederacy.
If he had seen these same colored peo-
pie, each hand playing Dixie and
each company of Knights coming to
port arms as they passed the chief
monument in that city-a memorial to
those who gave their lives for the Con-
federacy. That was fine tribute from
the colored people. and surely they
would not have saluted the symbol of
an Infamous cause"

MINERAL POINT
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Platteville Track Meet and Con.
test Thursday and Friday, May
II and IL.

bS5l SAdy Cud
II and IL.
There will be no school on Friday of
this week.
The state Is divided into as many dis
tricts as there are Normal schools.
Each Normal School is the center of
its district.
The Platteville district, consisting
of about forty high schools in Craw-
ford, Richland, Grant, Lafayette,
Green. Iowa and Sauk counties, is
divided into seven Leagues.
Mineral Point is in League number
seven. Only three schools in our
League took part in the contest at
Darlington: Monroe, Darlington and
Mineral Point.
Unless five schools take part in the
League contest. only the one winning
first place in the boys contest can
speak in the boys contest at Platteville,
and the same rule applies in the girls
contest.
The District contest for boys will be
held at Platteville Thursday evening,
and the District girls contest will be
held at the same place Friday evening.
AS we won first place at Darlington
in each contest we will be in each
of the contests at Platteville. Ulmont
Healy will speak Thursday evening,
and Henrietta Kane Friday evening.
The annual track and field meet for
the Platteville District will be held at
Platteville Friday afternoon.
Last year we won the meet and
have a silver cup in the high school
that looks somewhat lonesome. We
are going after another cup this year.
Two silver cups will look better than
one
Saturday forenoon we play base ball
with the Platteville Normal, and in the
afternoon we have a game with the
Platteville High School. In the mean
time we are obliged to keep up our
studies Just as if nothing unusual were
going on.
Perhaps we may be pardoned for say
ing that this is our busy week. Moth :
ing has been done within recent years
that has improved the quality of High
school work as much as Rhetoricals
and Athletics have done, as they are
conducted in Southwestern Wisconsin.
Miss Grace James. who will represent
League No. 2 in the girls contest Fri
day evening, visited the high school the
first part of the week.
Blanchardville High school defeated
us in the game Saturday by small
margain The score was s to 6. We
have no excuses to offer. We shall try
to see that nothing of the kind happens
again.

region come from the east. and Omaha.
which Is situated on the eastern boundary
of the division. is the principal gateway.
Il IL therefore . decided advantage to have
the supervisory officers of the division at
this point. More railway mail clerks reside
at Omaha than elsewhere In the division,
another reason why It IL desirable to have
the supervisory officers there. Many OF
the operating officers Of the railways in
the division have their offices at omahs
