IN OLD FOURTH TERRITORY
BEGINNING OF SCHOOL YEAR

Something Of a storm over school mat
ters Il brewing in that part OF south
west Washington which older residents
still call "the island" and II the board of
education persists In its evident intention
to split up the eighth division and divide
1t for supervision among other school dis
tricts 1t Is almost q certainty that the
residents OF that section will make a
vigorous protest.
The present eighth division is the old
fourth division. presided over for years
by the late Isaac Fairbrother, and it is
since his death that the present trouble
has arisen.
DIR. William NJ. Davidson. superinterd-
ent OF schools. has not appointed sue
cessor to Mr.. Fairbrother. and 1t is fairly
well established that he will not do SO;
that in the interest of economy he will
divide up this old-time stronghold SO that
the seventh division on one side will get
a part and the ninth division on the other
will get another part. Perhaps the old
Island" will still further be divided 30
that the eight schools in which thousands
of now prominent Washington business
men received their early education will be
scattered, from an administrative stand
point.
In the entire school system In Washlng-
ton scarcely any group OF schools or
teachers can be found where the esprit du
corps Is so strong as that in the old
fourth division.
1t was established when. the James
Creek canal. long since rooted over by
asphalt streets. divided that part OF the
city from the remainder. and which
made of an Island resident a dis
tinctive and clannish person. The old
Jefferson School, headquarters Of that
division. has been the tower Of educa-
ton in Southwest Washington for years,
and the people Of the community had
and have an intimate acquaintance with
the supervisors, principals and teachers.
In none of the new school divisions has
this feeling been so strong.

Viewed Death Calmly.

He spoke of death, not as we do. with
fear or with dread, but calmly. a SIM
pie matter Of everyday occurrence. The
day he left Toxic to take command of the
besieging army at Port Arthur he learned
OF his first sons death, and said TO his
wife:
Delay the funeral until I return with
our other son. Then We three can be
buried In the same grave"
With the death of this extraordinary
man-poet and soldier-the old Japan
passes. He was the arch-type of the old
high order OF chivalric thinking. OF un-
shrinking living and of stoicai dying.
Other great men may come. but such a
great man as this we are not likely to
see again.

either in war or the preparation for war.
Fondness for Children.
1t is said his only recreations were
fencing and talking to children. His
fondness for children was the one soft
spot in his iron nature But no matter
how he loved children, his training as a
soldier did not let tear come when his
own sons were killed.

a victory he wrote a poem. Nearly
everything he wrote touched in some
manner upon his reverence for his en-
peror.
Nogi was perhaps the most pathetic
figure surviving the war with Russia.
With his two sons he had gone into the
conflict IN the full expectation that none
Of them would return. Although to him
had come the plaudits of the world. his
nations thanks and even the unheard-of
Communications Of his august emperor.
his sons had achieved an honor in death
that had been denied him. and his coun-
trymen knew that this was the cause of

Predominating Traits.
He was taught to be a man, with all
the fortitude OF a man, when a boy
Bravery and love for his emperor were
instilled in him, and these remained his
predominating traits to his death.
Nogi, training for the ultimate achieve
ment Of his career. the destruction of
Port Arthur and the smashing of the
Russians right flank at Mukden. thus
ending the war, began when he was a
boy, and continued to the moment when
he was ordered in command of the Japa-
nese forces on the PENN sula of Lao
Tung.
In death Gen. Nogi attained the goal
he had awaited since he was twelve years
old. when his training as soldier of
Japan was begun. In only one thing was
he disappointed. With the old Samurai
spirit unquenched by modern progress, he
had hoped for the supreme joy of being
killed in battle. This desire was graphic
ally expressed by him when he was in
command OF the Japanese army investing
Port Arthur.
Proud of Sons Death.

the report that his eldest son, Lieut..

message without perturbation and re-
piled:

RICHARD BARRY RECALLS
MEMORIES Of NOG|
War Correspondent Describes
the General as He Saw
Him in Manchuria.

NEW YORK. September 14.-Richard
Barry, the war correspondent who ac-
companied the Japanese forces during
the Russo-Japanese war. writes as fol-
lows today in the New York Times about
Gen. Nogi:
For nine months it was my rare
privilege to be the nearest neighbor Of
Cen Nogi. These nine months stood at
the zenith of his life, when. on the hard
plains of Manchuria, he was complet-
ing the destiny for which he had been
born in the Japanese province Of Chosu.
Each day I saw him as he rode to
and from the divisional headquarters
of his command, as he sat in council
with his officers or at tiffin with his
guests. or. of an evening. in his garden.
fering. masterful spirit, tried alternate
ly by desperate defeat and by tremen-
dous triumph. neither deferred by the
one nor elated by the other. will. al
ways stand before me as an ideal.
First Sight Of Blood.
One night he told me of his first
was a boy Of eight. His father took
him to witness an execution. He was
placed quite near the scene, and Al the
head fell and the arterial gush burst
forth he was repriniant1ed for the in
voluntary shudder which shook his
young limbs.
That evening he was given for supper a
bowl OF rice from which ran rich salted
plum Juice SO that as he ate each poign-
ant mouthful brought to him, vision of q
neck Of matted scarlet spouting crimson
streams. AS final test OF courage he
was sent alone that midnight to the exc
cution grounds to bring back the severed
head.
Thus the father was teaching him that
the fear Of death is no less contemplate
than the fear of man: in short he was to
fear nothing. nothing. Haughtiness was
reprimanded even more severely than
cringing. Staggering was no less sin
than cowardfce.
From that boy came the man who died
by his own hand yesterday on his en-
perors grave.
Boyhood Training.
AS he grew he was offered relief for
the usual boyish complaints. They were
salutary. If his hands became too cold
to hold the writing brush. he plunged
them in icy water. II he complained that
his feet were numbed by frost he was d-
rected to the snow bank. Above all
things he was taught the of the
sword which hung in his belt from his
twentieth year. 1t was to be neither or
nament nor pkaything. With it he was
shown how to quickly find the exact spot
between the axel vertebrae to seek in
severing an enemy's head from the body
Fully as important was it to know how
to slip the steel into his own bowels at
a moments notice, without shrin Sing.

so to do.
