May Land Marines.

The embassy was authorized by the
administration at Washington to en-
ploy whatever means were considered
necessary to bring out an ameliora-
ton of Nichols condition.
Ambassador Wilson declares he will
secure his release even if it, should
become necessary to land marines
from the United States cruiser Des
Moines which is now in port at Tam
pico, with ESQ marines aboard.
The American ambassador regards
the treatment accorded Nichols by the
Mexican authorities as persecution
and has so stated in his message tC
the governor. In support of this BELIEF
he points to the fact that a Mexican
has confessed in court to being the
slayer of Caballos. This confession
was disregarded by the court, which
declared it was prompted by belle
on the part of the witness that a re
ward had been offered for Caballos
dead or alive.
The Mexican was not arrested an

Changing Vatican Library.

The position Of librarian at the Vati-
can is one Of the most important In the
gifts Of the Pope. Padre Ehrle. Ger
man Jesuit. who had held this place for
many years, was obliged to leave II be-
cause the burden was too heavy for
him. and Mgr. Ratti, prefect Of the School
Of ST. Ambrose in Milan, has been ap-
pointed his successor.
Mgr. Ratt Is now in Rome, and
Is beginning his duties, aided by Padre
Ehrle. For the present, he will assume
these duties, while continuing his work
at Milan. until his successor in that
city shall be appointed -
Before leaving his present position per-
manently. Padre Ehrle desires TO carry
out a long-cherished plan OF transferring
all the valuable manuscripts in the Vati-
can library from the place where they
have been kept heretofore, to the new
rooms especially designed for them.
This is the beginning Of the rearrange-
ment Of the entire library, which Is, as
is well known. one of the most i'm
portant and precious collection OF books
in the whole world Here, students from
every country come TO make special
studies and researches, and II is most
desirable that the library should be ar
ranged according to modern system.

The location Of Eastern = ideal. 50 far
as its close proximity to the Library OF
Congress Is concerned. This vast de-
positary OF literature may easily form
one OF the strongest forces in the EN-
cheney OF a high school, and when 50

But to take the fullest advantage OF it.
there Is necessary just what Eastern
lacks-a suitable building which will per
NIT the organization OF the research

This Is the work which patrons OF
Eastern High School have set themselves
to do. School authorities. including the
members, OF the Board OF Education. Su-
perintendent OF School Davidson. and
other school officials have been insistent
IN presenting the needs OF Eastern for a
new building. The matter has reached
the stage OF requests for an appropria-
ton many times. but has failed by just
n little. The energy of the patrons on
Capitol Hill will doubtless succeed In
putting this through. and then that sec

Miss Babeoek IL Type.
Miss Undine Babcock is representative
Of the type Of pupil which Eastern fits
for life work in so efficient a way. She
is OF the class OF pupil that enters ac-
lively into all Of, the school functions
and exerts a most beneficial and telling
influence upon the character Of the school
Miss BabcoeF was born In Lynchburg.
Va, eighteen years ago and has resided
in Washington for four years. She en-
tered the eighth grade at Towers. She
has finished a course OF Latin and French
at Eastern, and Is now taking up Ameri-
can history. stenography. English. and
typewriting. Her course throughout has
been such as to reflect great credit upon
herself and has proven the excellent work
done at Eastern.

OF q better place. and there are better
places now. John Wesley enunciated the
principles OF the Methodist Church in the
open air, but that has not deferred his
followers from erecting beautiful tenn
pies all over the world for worship.
Ample space Necessary.
1t is fundamental that the first re-
quirement for good school organisation
is ample accommodation for each and
every pupil This means fun seating
room. abundant air space, and the more
margin over and above the necessary
accommodation the better for the ex-
pansion. which Is at once q cause and
measure of school growth and en-
cheney. No one knows these truths bet
ter than DR.. Small, the principal of
Eastern. His large experience in school,
work has given him this knowledge from
many opportunities for study OF condi-
tions that obtain elsewhere. He knows
II so well that the Teachers College OF
the George Washington University Is
glad to avail itself Of his valuable serv-
ices as professor OF school administra-
ton in its course
With all this severe handicap, Eastern
takes high place among the high schools
OF the country. The spirit that prevails
in the faculty and among the student
body is the cause Of II. But one cannot
but reflect that with the expenditure OF
that same energy on the part OF all that
accomplishes 80 much now. the results
would be even greater. Still, there Is
reflected throughout the school and the
influence which II exerts upon the COM
munity q wholesome effect that is both
large enough and strong enough to be q
most valuable contribution TO the sort
Of life and character which Il Is the aim
OF all connected with Washington
schools TO promote.
Eastern Il Emcient.
In all departments OF school work this
efficiency is clearly and unmistakably
seen In all that Eastern undertakes. The
classrooms reflect 1t. the alumni OF the
school feels the benefit OF It in the strug-
gle of life. It is seen In the debating So
ciety, and in not the least degree on the
athletic field.
