academy has been able to have wide recognition of it's academic work. It has sent students to practically every univer- sty in the south, the United States Naval academy at Annapolis, West Point, Dart mouth, Harvard and the University or California In all these institutions Gulf coast products have made good records.
 The one question often put to the prln- cipals is as to whether or not they mean largely to increase the size of the acad- emy. They reply in the negative. It IS their purpose not to attempt to have more than 150 students at time, believ- ing that individual attention to each boy can secure the best results. This can only be done in limited school, where the number of teachers is large in pro- portion to pupils. This year the acad- emy has a teacher for every 15 students, the classes averaging 12 each. Every boy is made to recite in every class every day and is not excused from his work without a thorough understanding of it.
 While the principals do not purpose to enlarge the capacity of the academy, they have established a junior school, which is located one mile from the pres ent campus The cadets in the junior school will be taught by thes anne teacheps as those in the upper school and present campus under the direction of Lieutenant Hickox and Major Bergman. They will have their dormitory and study rooms, with study hall, at the junior school.
 The establishment of this lower school has come in response to demand for a nonsectarian school for boys between 10 and 15 years of age.

the King young Humbert on one oc- casion offered to show the ambassador some of the hooks built there during the time when it was the summer resi- dence of the popes. As the ambassador was observing the quaintness of the gar dens in going through a narrow path he was surprised to find himself sprayed with water leaping right up out of the path His boy guide had lead the ambas- sador purposely into the path, where a hidden fountain was made to work by the simple process of stepping upon the stones.

After Reading Stevenson's Inland Voyage
Fly GRACE TURNER

I have been away, to France, perhaps, yet not quite to the real France either, but to lovely land of sweet adventures and glad companionshp. 1 have been away and come back at last, with sense of irreparable loss and separation from a charming friend. For 1 travelled with Robert Louis Stevenson, in sun and rain, ever with freshness of heart, down through the dear land of France. And all the while I was thinking not of France, and the boat, and the pleasant journey, but of my friend-my kind, gentle friend from whom I must part too soon. Such companionship I had enjoyed, so pure so lofty so responsive, that l had begun to think well of myself and to forget how small and futile l am. For Stevenson has that gracious power when one is with him, to make life seem happy, and men, for all their faults, noble and true. It is small wonder then that grieved to leave him, to hear no longer his tender teachings, to remove from the sphere of his influence.
 Of course, shall go back sometime and find him again and he will be what he always was. But I? Shall I ever be the same again? Will my heart be so readily his to guide? Shall I stretch out such willing hands? An, me! There comes always, when we have lived close ly for time with a dear friend, and when we must part, feeling or deep sadness, an unspoken fear lest some thing may arise between us, lest we be not quite able to mount again to the

equipment and to teach the cadets sail ing, splicing, knot tying, rowing, swim ming and other ordinary branches of steamship. Drills will be held with the boats two or three times a week. Once Iii two weeks short trips on Monday the school holiday, will be used for instruc- tion work.
 Every cadet will be required to learn to swim within two weeks after the school opens in the fall. They will be taught to sail, row and to maneuver a boat. It means a good deal of hard work but still the cadets will find it very en- joyable. In addition to the practice work, there will be additional to the school course curriculum, a course in naval in- struction, consisting of The Deck and Boat of the United States Navy; Me- Clays History of the United States, and Mahans Influence of Sea Power On History" The work in the navy depart ment is not expected to replace or inter- fere with the work in the military de- partment of the school.
 The United States war department has detailed at the academy as commandant of the cadets First Lieutenant Alfred A. Hickox Sixth infantry, and, in addition, has furnished the academy a full equip ment of arms, ammunition and camping outfit. A rifle range for instruction in firing will be constructed either on the campus or at sea in front
 A student coming to the Gulf Coast Military academy, can, therefore get thorough instruction in military science and tactics well as in the practical part of military work.
 The Gulf Coast Military academy is only four years old, but it has made re- markable strides in advancement. Four years ago the principals bought a piece of property 25 acres in extent, facing di- rectly on the gulf, about half way be- tween Gulfport and Biloxi. They con structed upon it commodious buildings to house and teach 125 cadets. They have succeeded in drawing their patronage al- most from the entire United States, as well as from foreign countries. This years enrolment shows 134 students from F states and one foreign country. During the four years of it's history the

of the girls of the family. Nevertheless he has found many hours for sport, par ticularly at Castel Porziano an estate overlooking the Tyrrenian sea purchased by his father and converted into hunt ing forest There in the summers before the war he tramped in the forests With his father or played with his sisters along the sea ashore, took swims in the sea or sailed boats as he chose. It was not an uncommon sight to see him there all but naked somewhere about the beach, after the fashion of the boys the world over. As his father also rents the Island Of Monte Cristo, made famous in the novel of Alexander Dumas, the little prince has also made many yacht trips with the family to this island.
 Brought up in the tolerant manner of his father, Humbert is all boy through and through, and is not averse to some of the mischief that characterizes the American boy. It is related that when Lloyd Griscom was American ambassad pr at Rome and was received at the palace of the Quirinal in an informal way by

NAVAL DEPARTMENT FOR THE GULF COAST MILITARY ACADEMY
Four Men-of-War Cutters and Naval Instructor Sent
 to Southern Institution

Lieut.. Com. L. B. Porterfeld, U. S. N, recently visited the Gulf Coast Military academy at Gulfport for the purpose of establishing a naval department at the academy to be under the direction of the United States navy. By the request of President Wilson, four men-of-war cut ters, with full equipment of sails, oars and all necessary apparatus, have been furnished the academy, and Lieutenant Commander Porterfield has been assigned to the duty of supervising the naval work at the academy. He has expressed him. self as highly pleased at the situation as place for a proposed department of the navy.

YORK, Pa, Aug. 16.-Plans for wasing
a vigorous campaign against temperance
adherents aspiring at the approaching gem
eral election for membership in the national
and state Legislatures were mapped out at
the sessions Of the Pennsylvania Fedora
tion Of Liquor Dealers here today. Pol

the county organizations in sections Of the
state where 1t is most needed. While the
State Federation will supervise the cam
paign to prevent the passage of n local

nominated for Congress. Speakers at the
morning session included George L. Baub-
