Will of Congress Ignored.

Congress declined to appropriate
money to make provision for work and
services asked for and i'm utter disre-
gard of the will of the appropriating
power the departments now blandly send
through the Secretary of the Treasury es-
Inmates to the Speaker asking to have
the money appropriated as deficiency
which was refused as a regular appro-
priation.
Mr. Mann said that perhaps the COM
mittee on appropriations had been so
busy hearing the department heads that
there had not been time to get out a bill
providing for pages and charwomen who
have worked for more than a month with
out pay and whose pay day Is still sew
eral days off. as the Senate must pass
the Sissop resolution before the salaries
may be authorized.

So Heretofore this subject has been
somewhat neglected In Southern pre-
paratory schools, and 1t is the aim OF
the association to supply this defci-
cncy. In speaking OF the purposes
of the classical association, Professor
FitzhuGh said:
1T Is eminently desirable that tho
study of Greek should be incorporated
in the curriculum OF the Southern pre-
paratory schools This is the source
and fountain head Of all modern
thought and culture. and should be
kept before the public mind for Its
broade ming effect il for nothing else.
Tho legitimate benefits of culture de-
rived from the study OF the classics
should not suffer from competition with
the fast growing spirit OF commercial
