fectiun on the method OF grading In vogue In
the college nor is II an indication that the high
school teacher who graded them at seventy and
eighty per cent stricter and more accurate.
The high school teacher graded the letters sub
mitted her by Mr. Box according to spelling
and punctuation. while the theses written at
college by these students were graded with little
reference to these matters. but according to the
ideas. thoughts expressed, reasoning, power used
knowledge of the subject and so forth. One
might easily grade a writer highly on these
points and lowly on spelling and punctuation.
In short. the college does not teach ts students
to spell and is not expected to teach them The
students are supposed to be able to spell and
punctuate and write legibly when they enter the
college. If they do not II is the fault OF the
high school teachers Of English. Mr., Bok's ex-
pertinent proved that the high school teacher

MUSIC.

Thanls Of the citizens Of Richmond are due
the city council for giving them free concerts
In tile parks during the hot evenings of the
summer
Without these concerts. thousands of people,
penned up in the city, would be without mental
relaxation at the close of day. after hours spent
iii Office and shop. Thousands of the people of
Richmond are without the means OF going away
from the dust and heat of the city: They must
spend their time In the parks where they may
get some little breeze, and with the additional
pleasure evoked by the music of drum and horn,
the city after all makes life worth the living.
The concerts have been largely attended, and
they have given much pleasure and profit to
those who heard them.
The man In whose soul there Is yearning
for music, is fit for the asylum, and what more
good can city do than to instill into the minds
and souls of the children who have to grow up
In the city during the hot days of summer the
desire for music?

Why the Confederacy
Failed

Various military writer's have essayed to fix
upon some especial reason why the Southern
independence proclaimed in their acts Of seces-
sion. Some authors ascribe the final collapse
of the Confederacy to lack of its leaders to
utilize properly the financial resources furnished
cheney of the subsistence and supply depart
ments still others find that the strategy insisted
on by President Davis of attempting to hold
on to territory scattered the available forces
and deprived the generals of the advantages
for concentration offered by interior lines of
communication. All of these causes doubtless
contributed something towards rendering abor-
tive the skill with which Lee and the Johnstons
handled their forces and that almost matchless
valor and devotion among the troops at their
command which so long gave an appearance OF
doubtfulness to the struggle. But 1t Is probable
that historians will at last agree that disparity
of numbers offers sufficient explanation of the
result without indulging speculations how far
collateral and subordinate causes may have con-
tributed For in addition, the difference in popu-
lation between the contendng sections was
easily two to in favor of the North, while
in addition to this the border States were divided

NOT 4 FAULT OF THE COLLEGE.

Many people who hatter themselves that they
are cogent reasoners never reach conclusion
bv the process They start with the conclusion
and reason backward to the proof They be-
leve or wish 10 believe something and then
search for proofs to back up that belief, and
usually what they set out to prove they prove to
their own satisfaction at least.
Edward Box the editor Of the Ladies' Home
journal, would seem to be one of these at times.
Recently he undertook to prove that the colleges
of the country are inefficient and seeking proofs
OF that contention and dsregarding apparently
the proofs to the contrary he has settled the mat

CURRENT COMMENT
What Currency Radicals Demand.

II Representative Henry of Texas, and some
others of his kind manage 1t, the admin
istration currency bin will be converted into
instrument to make 1t easier and safer
and more convenient to speculate in grain and
cotton than in stocks and bonds.
AS 1t stands. the bill allows individual banks
TO discount paper upon collateral comprising
either stocks or bonds warehouse receipts.
but such paper Is not to be rediscounted in
federal reserve banks The Henry amendment
preserves this prohibition regards stocks and
bonds. but removes it in the case OF warehouse
receipts for grain and cotton
Comment this remarkable procedure
seems hardly necessary. 1t involves the
sumption that to speculate In stocks and bonds
is iniqutons and indefensible, while to specu-
late in grain and cotton is meritorous act
And yet 1t Is from the last kind of speculation
that the American people have the most to
fear and from which they have the greatest
need of protecton.-Phla Inquirer.
