A Prosperous Young School.

Among the educational institutions
OF Richmond, none has made more
| signal progress than Richmond Acade-
my, founded in 1902, with about forty
students the hrst session. Its enroll
mcnt for several sessions past has
reached the capacity of $50 students
This growth has been largely due
to the sane policy OF it's trustees in
providing faculty cor the school ex-
celled by none In the South The ma
Jority of its faculty of eight men have
| degrees from our large universities in
addition to their training in Virginia
colleges, and not one of them is with
out experience in teaching. In fact, it
is the worthy claim of Dean Prince
that he has not had an inexperienced
teacher or one without a good college
degree during his eight years of ser
vice as head of the Institution.
The honor system of discipline is
nowhere more firmly rooted or prac-
tically used than at Richmond Academy.
From the smallest boy of nine to the
senior OF seven years in its training,
this principle is applied That 1t is
successful is proven by the fact that
.'atrons and teachers are delighted
With the results. Its operation is best
illustrated by the plan of keeping In
for dement's.
student geeting demerits has his
name posted on the bulletin to stay
In one hour for each demerit received.
He is then on his honor to do this,
locked in his own private room at home,
without company. and at work on
school duties. The honor committee,
elected by the students from their own
numler, has absolute control of this.
No mem Der Of the faculty has anything
to do with II, except when advise is
sought from the teacher they elect

THE ROMANCE Of

why the street car moves is happier
for the knowledge. The man who
watches the stars in the heavens and
knows their names is happier than he
who looks In iSnorance-happier in
possession il not in use
Our readers may remember that re-
markable little poem OF Robert Brown

bore with his brothers the corpse of
heir great teacher, the man who do
cided not to live. but know" There
may seem something pathetic in the
little chronicle OF him who "cramped
and diminished" turned from the joys
OF youth to the deeper joys of thought
Perhaps he seemed to waste his life

trine of the enclitic de-" Yet did he
not merit the eulogy spoken over him.
and was he not happy in that ne knew
where others fancied or wondered?
So II is with the boy who goes from
college. He may never open the dusty
Aeschylus from whom he learned the
story OF the unhappy Antigone; he may
never apply the mathematics he
learned; may never write as his
rhetoric taught him he should Yet he
has lasting heritage OF intellectual
blessing of which none can deprive him
Like the grammarian in BrowninC's
poem. he is blessed in that he can
magnify the mind"
Balance the account then and reckon
possible loss against sure gain. The
result viii but be the vndication of
education as one the great construc-
tive force Of human life--the upward
impulse.

In Reach of Poor.
The price. $3.50 per month for board,

citizens and useful members or So
ciety, and even helping those around
them to do the same By tho force of
their example. In twenty-five years
of the schools history, not a single
student OF the school has ever been
arrested or tried for crime. This Is the

Four Incendiary Fires Within A

Shop are Totally
Destroyed.

Keokuk, June 21.-Four fires oc.
curing within the last week are be-
lieved to be the work of fire bugs
and nets have been drawn around
suspicious characters by the police
The first fire was at the Scott
Madden manufacturing plant, where
the incendiary had poured oil on
frame molds just outside the ware
house. The second was barn
where oil and excelsior was used.
The most serious attempt made,
however, was to burn the hotel Keo-
kuk. Here oil was poured over the
frame porch in the rear of the hotel
The blaze was discovered in time to
prevent serious damage.
Last night junk shop in tene-
ment row was fired and it is believ-
ed that gasoline was used. The two
year old baby of Homer Stephenson
was taken from the bed in an adj
joining house just as the roof fell
in.
An assistant state fire marshal
has been cooperating with the local
authorities in thorough investiga-
ton and they are convinced that all
of these fires are the work of one
man. t-

SALOON FIGHT
At DUBUQUE
Wailing and Threatening When
Council Names Luckless
Ones.
TWENTY.ONE WILL HAVE TO GO
Two Designated for Decapitation
Loud in Their Pro-
tests. .

Dubuque, June 21.-The elimina-
ton process among the Dubuque sa-
looms is under way.
Dubuque is entitled under the law
to thirty-eight saloons. There are
now more than 100. 1t has been de-
cided that twenty-one licenses shall
be revoked July 1, 1918, a similar
number July /, 1914, and the bal
ance in excess of thirty-eight in
1915.
The city council is the body on
whom the duty of selecting the sur
vivors devolves. The twenty-one to
go out of business July /, next, have
been named. The proprietors of two
of those designated are in fever
of excitement. They declare they
have run in strict accordance with
the law and have long been in bust
ness, while other men in their vicin-
ity have violated the law. They ey-
en- go so far as to declare that in the
event Of the mayors failure to null
lily the action of the city council
they will put every saloon in the
city of Dubuque out of business,
claiming the necessary information
to GUST them can be had.
The mayor has not announced his
decision.
One attorney whose familiarity
with the law on liquor matters is
unquestioned, declares the talk by
the saloon men of refusing to abide
by the decision is nonsense.
1.-THE city council" he said, "is
vested with absolute power in the
matter. So far as that is concerned
if the council should decide to re-
woke every saloon license in tbe--eity
there is nothing that could stop
them. They issue permits to whom
they see At and the same authority
makes it possible for them to re-
yoke them. The council is not
amenable to anyone in its action.
1t is the court of last appeal. The
prohibitory law is in force in Iowa
and a man may operate a saloon on
| ly by complying with certain condi-
tions."
Talks of Injunction suits are
heard and it is freely predicted that
an effort will be made to drag the
present action into the district
court.

GET LONG
PRISON SENTENCE
Men Found Guilty Of Abducting
Young Girl-0utrage Started
Mob Demonstration.

Salem, Illinois, June 21.-Frank
Sullens and Ernest Harrison Were
found guilty here yesterday of kid.
naping Dorothy Holt last March
The jury fixed the penalty of each
at twenty-five years in the peniten-
tiary. The state had asked the death
penalty.
Dorothy Holt was kidnapped while
she was going to her home. I'M
portant evidence in the case was q
confession by Sullens that he had
kidnapped the girl and taken her to
an abandoned mine, where he was
to turn her over to Harrison. Fol-
this, he said, Harrison was to give
him five dollars. The girl was found
in a critical condition. Sullens was
arrested and a mob demonstration
against him resulted in the calling
out of several companies Of state
troops.
