American millionaires have been
much maligned. but two Of them at
least have shown themselves to be
genuine heroes when they faced the
hour that is approaching for everyone.
John Jacob Astor's conduct on the
Titanic will be remembered long after
people cease to discuss the value Of
his estate. and even now Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt's millions are a
miner consideration when the world Is
thrilling with one Of his last utter
ances-"Come, let us save the Riddles"
Unfortunately, few Of the kiddies on
the Lusitania were saved. SO quickly
did she sink after receiving her death
blow off Old Head. but vanderbilt's
self-forgetfulness in the hour Of peril
and his consideration only for others
will make the remembrance Of him
in years to come such as every true
man would wish for. Reckless asser-
tons that this man or that man
doesn't know how to live because he il
possessed Of big fortune are by no
means proof that he doesn't know how
to die when a disaster like that Of the
Lusitania's sinking overtakes him and
others.

The records do not support either
Interpretation Of his statement. They
do show however that the number Of

concerned-upon the preparation af-

present superintendent began work in
September, 1912, and so had nothing
to do with the common school prep
aration of any pupil attending the
High school during either Of these
years. There was no change in the
course of study and only two changes
in the teaching force during the one
year that he had supervision of the
High school. OF course any increase
in the number OF failures that year
might have been due to raise in the
standard of work in the High school

There would sssp to be cause for

The work of the present freshman
