The Old Dutch Market branch opened
at 1852 North Capitol street yesterday
with such a rush OF patronage as to upset
Sll calculations OF the management. The
volume OF business transacted placed the
store at once in the ranks OF the best
branches OF this well-known concern.
The Washington public seem to be get

this organization is doing in the way OF

EDUCATION MORE

held TO determine the choice OF a United
States Senator, is a graduate OF Union
with the class OF 1889. At the crisis of
the civil war fou- early graduates of
Union were in positions Of great iniu-
ence.
Robert Toombs, Of the class of 1s2S
was Secretary of State for the Confed-
eracy. Hon. William II. Seward, of the
class OF 1893, was Secretary OF State for
the Union: Gen. Hallock, OF the class
Of 1882, was commander-in-chief OF the
Northern armies; John Bigelow. OF the
class of 1885, who lived to the age OF
ninety-four, and died only few weeks
ago. was Minister to France"
Discussing the tendencies Of modern
education, President Richmond said:
Turn Out HaIf-Baked Men.
The tendency toward early specialize
ton is a menace to higher education.
We are making narrow, ons-sIded, half
baked men. To use an Old Testament
phrase. Ephraim is cake not turned,
overdone on one side and underdone on
the other. The future OF education does
not rest in the hands OF the technical
school. The college that can turn out
the best generally educated man is the
college that is rendering the most YaIu-
able service TO the country.
So long as we believe that the man
is more than his work. we shall also be-
neve that education Is more than tech-'
nique. Union College has made great
advances. especially in electrical science,
but the foundation OF all our training is
laid in academic culture"
During the dinner it was voted that a
telegram OF congratulation be sent to
Senator-elect Ransdell. at his home in
Louisiana. Judge George e. HazeIton,
