PRAISE THE MISSION SCHOOL
Bulgaria Expresses Its Gratitude for
Work Done in That Country by
American Teachers.

Bulgarian mails bring news that
the Bulgarian ministry of education
has officially certified by decree that
the work of the American mission
schools at Samokov is equivalent to
that of its own national gymnasia.
The full text of the certificate, the
correct translation of which is Off
cially certified, is as follows:
"The ministry of national educa-
ton of the kingdom of Bulgaria
hereby certifes that the American
gymnasia-boys' and girls'-in Sa-
mokov, Bulgaria, founded more than
fifty years ago, and continuing to
the present time to carry on their
educational and moral activities,
have been, during all their existence
centers of spiritual culture and
progress. The Bulgarian nation has
always looked with special respect
and honor upon these schools, which
even from the dark period of slav-
cry Ito the Turks until today, with
special perseverance and zeal, have
fulfilled their mission-the educa-
ton and the moral and spiritual
training of the youth. From the last
inspection of these schools which it
made, the ministry ascertained that
they have done very much for their
development and perfection, espe-
cially on the moral and spiritual
side, on account of which the minis
try recognized the girls gymnasium
as equivalent to our national gym
nasia for girls. In order to fully at
tain, however, to the standard, both
of our gymnasia and of these in Eu-
rope as well, it is indispensable that
they significantly broaden their ac-
Invites, by securing teachers body,
corresponding to those of our ma
tional schools and by also procuring
modern equipment, laboratory ap-
paratus, libraries, etc. In this way
they will enhance the educational
side of their work (as well as the
moral and religious side), and they
will increase still more the gratitude
of the Bulgarian nation"

RESULTS
FROM PARALYTIC STROKE
Burial Occurred at Column

been engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, except four years service
as sheriff and collector of Hemp
stead county.

WHY ATHLETES GET "STALE"
Coaches Sometimes Keep Their Men
at Work Without Proper
Resting Periods.

The question of short versus long
periods of practice in training the
human muscles for any particular
kind of work is obviously one hay-
ing far-reaching application. Some
interesting experiments on this sub
ject have been carried out by Dr..
X. S. Lashley of Johns Hopkins uni
versity. Acquisition of skill in arch
cry was selected as the subject of OBJ
servation. Twenty unframed per-
sons were divided into three groups.
One group shot five arrows with the
English longbow per day; another
twenty shots per day, and he third
forty shots. The results showed con-
clusively that the group shooting
only five times a day improved in
accuracy with less expenditure of
time in practice than was required
by either of the other groups for the
same amount of improvement. A
report on the experiments says:
"The relatively greater efficiency of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the study of animals
and of speech habits in man, and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and men, the
length of practice periods required
is usually too great for maximum
efficiency"
