The Pennsylvania R. r. is going to take
of our only through train for Balti-
more at Bowie This means TO change
cars and wait for connections in order
to reach Baltimore. We residents OF

prevent this change, this train they are
taking of is the main chartered train
Of the B. & P. Road. instead OF us hav-
ing less Accommodations to Baltiu. IRE
we should have more. The North
bound afternoon train should be com
PEELED to go through to Baltimore, SO
we would have two through trains to
baltimore. but If the morning train lis
taken of we will not have any. 1t is
very unhandy for gentlemen to change
cars, but it is worse for woman with
two or more children with her. Here is
an instance, | came up on the Sunday

RANK HIGH IN SCHOLARSHIP
That Athletes Are Poor Students Is
Denied by Former Professor
in an Eastern College.

THAT athletics are practiced in most
colleges do not detract the attention of
students from scholastic duties is
abundantly testified to by college pro-
fessors," remarked DR.. James Hine-
man, former professor in one of the
eastern colleges. DR.. Brinker, the
president of Lehigh university, de-
clared that the Lehigh football squad
had averaged higher in scholastic
standing than the students who did
not participate in college athletics, Lee
high is not the only college in which
this fact has been marked. Cornell for
several years-and l have no doubt
that it continues to show it-had foot
ball and baseball teams the members
of which led their classes.
Properly controlled athletics are as
necessary to successful mental train
ing as are professors. l presume there
have been instances where members
of college teams have failed in theil
examinations. and charges folloY, as {
matter of course, that these men are
not genuine students. But the facts are
so pronounced that the best men or
the leading athletic teams in ou1
greatest colleges are men of big men
tally that the suggestion that col
leges have to hire athletes falls in it!
