KEEPING THEM IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Some Results of Efforts Being Tried at
Sumter, South Carolina.

"A truly remarkable record" is the
way DIR. p. p. ClaXton, United States
commissioner of education. eharacterizes
the work of S. H. Edmunds. superin-
| tendent OF schools at Sumter, South Car
olina, in keeping boys and girls in high
/ school.
Analysis of figures presented by Mr..
Edmunds showed that comparatively few
| fall by the way in the Sumter school
system. There are SO pupils in first
year high school, 90 in the second year,
60 in the third, and So in the fourth
year. Last year SO graduated from the
high school and 40 went to college, an
almost unprecedented proportion IN a
public high school. The work of these
boys and girls in college is highly COM
mended by President $. c. Mitchell Of
the University of South Carolina, and
President ID. b. johnson of the Winthrop
Normal and Industrial institute, both of
whom declare that the Sumter pupils
were notably we'll prepared. Dr. Mitch
ell says Mr.. Edmunds has effectively
answered the question: How to hold
boys in high school"
The superintendent himself mentions
number of points that seem to him to
account for the enivable figures. In the
first place. he cites the fact that in his
system boys and girls are educated sep
arately from the sixth grade up, making
it possible to apply education more di-
rectly to the special needs OF each sex.
Again, he points to his military company
of grammar and high school boys, in
charge of regularly employed COM
mandant. as another feature that proves |
attractive.
More fundamental from the education |
al point of view than either of these is |
the insistence by the superintendent that
each pupil shall realize that he is an
not mere cog in the ma
,hine Thus valuable sense of per-
,onal pride is developed, which leads to
, desire for more and more education.
As a further incentive for the pupils
o remain until the end of the course,
graduation from high school is made
IN important event in the students ca
eer.
Although giving due weight to these
EXPLANATIONS. educators who have inves
igated the conditions believe there is a
eeper reason for the presence of so
many pupils in the Sumter high schools.
to Professor Hand, the state
Ugh school Inspector of South Carolina,
he real secret is to be found in the
ordial personal relation that exists be-
ween Superintendent Edmunds and the
oys and girls in his system.
Whatever the exact explanation, the
uccess in keeping boys and girls in
ohool at Sumter is an unusual one in
.merican high schools, and demonstrates
hat can be done even with the ordinary
irriculum of school where an enthu-
astic superintendent puts his whole /;
,ul into the task of education and in
,ires an entire community with some ,
his own fervor.

DIR. MORTIMER UNFRoCKED.
Philadelphia Clergyman Is 0usted With
out Notice Of Reason.

Philadelphia, Dee 3l.--Deposed from

! pal church without the customary state.
ment that the deposition was made for
reasons not affecting the clergyman
moral character, the Rev. DIR. Alfred
Garrett Mortimer, former pastor of st.
Marks Episcopal church, received for
NAL notice to-day from Bishop Rhine
lander that lie is no longer one of the
church community.
This action was taken by the bishop
yesterday, and notices are being sent to
all bisops in the church and all yes
tries in the diocese. Bishop Rhinelander
decided to unfrock the former rector
following receipt of a letter from DR..
Mortimer. renouncing the ministry.
No statement of reasons either for
DR.. Mortimer's retirement or deposition
has been made. In regard to his deposit
ton, however, it is stated in clerical
circles that a minister of the Episcopal
church can be deposed for only two
asons-immoralty or heresy. Close
friends of the unfrocked rector say they
know of no charges of heresy against
him.
DIR. Mortimer is at the home of his
brother in Jersey City. but is expected
to leave for England within few days

TURKS ASK
MEDIATION
Would Have Powers Settle
Controversy with Bull
gars and Others
STARTLE CONFERENCE
BY SUDDEN PROPOSAL
Allies Object and Adjourn
the Meeting-New Pro-
posals Tomorrow

London, Dee 3l.--After fortnight of
sparring Turkey finally has shown her
hand in the peace conference.
Mediation by the great powers is the
Ottoman scheme for emerging from the
war with the best grace for the nation
and the plenipotentiaries.
The Turkish delegates proposed this
in guarded terms at yesterdays session,
which was brief and more strained than
any preceding it. Rechad Pasha an
nounced his delegation had received fresh
instructions from the Porte, but that
part of the telegram was undecipherable,
and must be repeated to Constantiuople
for translation.
Rechad then declared he was able to
state that most questions under dis
cussion should be referred to the powers.
The Turkish delegates attempted to dis
cuss the questions informally, but the
allies insisted that they put the propo-
sitions in writing which the Turks said
they were not prepared TO do.
The allies propose to bring affairs to
a crisis by an ultimatum Wednesday.
They express determination. to waste
no more time on real or pretended con-
situations by the Turks.
The Turks see two advantages in me-
diation which always tends toward CON-
promise. and would save Turkish pres
tige in eyes OF the people by making it
appear that Turkey comedies sacrifices
she must inevitably make. to the pres
sure of all Europe instead of the dicta-
ton OF the hitherto despised Balkan
states.
The allies are much dissatisfied with |

THE OLD ROMAN LEGION.
Principles Upon Which It's Military
Strength Was Builded.

StFcn9th was 6uHdeu.
The Roman military unit was the
legion of from 1000 to 5000 men. d.
yided into ten cohorts The strength
OF Roman arms lay in three things.
The first of these was careful selec-
ton OF men from among such citizens
ms were practiced in arms. The sec
nnd dependence was upon discipline.
Warlike youths accustomed themselves
to the use of arms as a recreation. so
that IL was said that their sports were
battles without bloodshed and their
battles bloody sports The third point
was the prompt adoption of all i'm
povements suggested by the expert
ence of foreign wars.
The Roman legion was practically
never defeated so long as these three
principles remained In force. The Sc
cret of its strength was the spirit OF
the men. who In their perfect discl-
pine expressed their glory In Rome
and their confidence In themselves.
The most brilliant achievements of
this military instrument we're attained
by Caesar. who aroused the devotion
Of his troops TO the highest point by
making common cause with them 10
the pursuit Of valor. As Plutarch says.
,He showed them that he did not heap
up wealth from the wars for his own
luxury or the gratifying OF his private
pleasures. bur that all be received was
but public fund. laid by for the re-
ward aud encouragement Of vsior."-
