The custom of having each graduating
class from a high school leave some
useful or ornamental gift for the in
stitution is worthy of general adop-
ton. The result in a few years is the
identifying of the school building or
grounds, or, valuable accessions to the
school library or apparatus. And in
this way the graduates are enabled to
show their appreciation of what their
free school has done for them.

TYLER TO HAVE MONUMENT
Appropriation by Congress Of 10000
for the Purpose VIII Meet With
Satisfaction.

Secretary Garrison OF the "a de-
partment has been charged with the
execution Of the act Of congress ap.

to the memory of John Tyler, former
president OF the United States. This
memorial 70 one OF the chief magts.
trates Of the nation Is to be erected
over his grave in Hollywood cemetery
in Richmond, Va. 1t is a modest ap-
preparation for such a purpose, but It
is proper and fitting that 1t should be
made. even at this late day. Tyler
was the least known. probably, OF u
presidents, and his chief title to fame
came from the fact that he was the
vice.presidential candidate with VIII
liam Harrison. The battle cry Of Tip.
pecanoe and Tyler. Too" has come
rolling down the generations since
both men made their famous fight.
Tyler was greatly respected in Wiz.
ginia and had a deserved reputation
FOR his high sense Of honor. He came
Into the presidency through the early
and unexpected death OF Gen. Harri.
son. He was at his home when he
learned that he had become president
through the death OF the incumbent,
and it Is related that he wa SO poor
that he had. to borrow the money with
which to get to Washington. This is
a reminder OF the fact that the United.
States has been singularly fortunate
In the personal characters of the men
that have ruled It since the founda.
ton Of the government. They have
differed in many ways. Some have
been great men and Others have had
only q fair degree OF brllliance. but
all, without exception. have been
noted for their integrity Of purpose.
Tyler does not loom 90 high in Amert
can history as some OF the other vir
Einians who reached the presidency,
but in any event It was highly appro-
PIRATE that congress should properly,
mark his last resting place.
