at the University of Pennsylvania.
The great and unfailihg source of

Classics of Greece and Rome" he as
serted. 1T is not enough to teach

teach them how to use science. This
Is best done through liberal culture.

The Vice President returned to

his annual report said there is more
criticism Of our teaching methods
than of the intrinsic value Of classical
education.
Much of the criticism" he con-

much of it is just. Complaint is made
of many things. but mainly of one
that our teaching is too often dry,
mechanical and pedantic."

Dean Mason n. Richardson, made the
following statement:
In no other building in the city OF
Washington will the passing of Prof
Leighton be regarded in the same
to be regarded at 420 5th street
northwest. Here the feeling is one
Of irreparable loss.
Although those who loved DR.
Leighton in his lifetime and now
mourn his loss be legion in number
news of his death arouse such poign-
ant regret as will g":p the hearts OF
that particular group of men and
women who came under the inf1u-
ence of the deceased during his la
bors at Howard University. Here
alone he was dean. Here he served
both his God and his fellow man as
Here he stood at his post for forty
years. giving the best there was in
him, discharging at q tremendous
personal sacrifice and without apol.
ogy a duty which hearts less coura.
geous than his own dared not share
with him for an hour. No wonder
therefore. when falling health forced
DR.. Leighton to tender his resigna-
tion last February the trustees OF
Howard University refused to let him
go, but retained him in the facult
as dean emeritus.
THE dominant notes of Dean Leigh
tons life as we knew him were cour-
age and culture for service And SO, at
this time, when his mortal remains
await consignment to their final
resting place. we are profoundly con-
scious that a hero and a great man
is fallen in Israel today"
Mr.. Waters stated that the univer-
sity would be officially represented
represented at the funeral and at a
later date appropriate action would
be taken by the faculty of law.

branch of the United States govern
ment. after they served honorably in
the armed forces of the country dur
ing the war. Robley D. Evans Post
No. 4. American Legion. last night
adopted resolutions Of protest.
The resolutions hold that the post
is of the opinion that this action
on the part of government officials
is unjust. and is a discrimination
against the eX-service man in dis
charging him and retaining others
Of equal or less ability. who did not
serve in the war"

to President Harding and also to
Secretary Of the Navy DENLY.
