 Truly, John Trotwood Moore is one of the south's sweetest singers, and wheth- CT in prose or rhyme, whether he is telling his wonderful negro stories. as few have ever been able to tell them or whether he is painting his exquisite pen pictures of Aiabasla and Tennessee, whether there is pathos or fun, humor or tears none has ever written more charmingly or more delightfully-and placing him beside James Lane Allen, Thomas Nelson Page and the others whom we love and honor in song and in story, he is not appreciated anywhere mere sincerely than in Alabama, his be- oved birthplace.

Receiver Says Failure to Obtain
Power Caused Collapse of
the Expected Service

Operation on surface cars on the
Staten Island Midland Railroad, which
was resumed Friday, was discontinued
again yesterday. Hundreds of residents
of the island who expected to use the
cars were disappointed and delayed in
getting to business in Manhattan. Ex-
pressions az indignation were heard
on all sides.
Apparently the only reason for re-
suming service Friday was to safe
guard the franchise Of the company,
which the city has threatened to take
away. Jacob Brenner. receiver for the
company, explained that the Richmond
Light and Railroad Company had failed
TO furnish power yesterday because
they did not understand that the re-
ceiver was going to continue operation.
Consequently, Mr.. Brenner said, the
crews returned to their homes yester-
day morning. He declared he was try

STUDY or GREEK GIVEN UP
Fewer Students In American or Eng
iish Colleges Seem to Care for
Ancient Language.

Every year the expression, ut is all
Greek to me-" has a sharper point to
II. The reason is that each year few
er boys and girls study Greek, re-
marks "Girard" In the Philadelphia
Press.
see by the list of students in a
typical American college that only one
boy In Is now studies Greek. In the
same college 80 years ago over half
the students read Greek.
A drop from 80 to less than per
cent In a generation is going fast, and
shows that Greek will soon be not only
a dead, but buried language in the
United States.
And from Oxford, in England. comes
a wall that the university is fast los
ing ground.
The year before the war, in 1913,
953 students entered Oxford, but 80
years earlier 7S4, matriculated. And
of those who came In 1913, $50 were
Rhodes scholars.
From an oxford man learn that
Greek is the trouble. Cambridge uni
versity abolished Greek, but Oxford
did not. although in nearly all the
five preparatory schools in England
Greek is no longer taught.
So II seems that schools do not pre-
pare boys for Oxford and Oxford
stands still.
