 MT. Grafton made the following statement:
 "There i sno reason to fear that too much attention will be given to classical study. From lack of taste and inclination, of early train- | ing and agreeable association or by reason of the nature and variety of studies soliciting his choice in the currieula of our higher schools, | the student is likely, rather, to under-value the claims of Latin and Greek; but he who looks for ward to a life of literary leisure, | and to the highest intellectual en- joyment attainable, or aspires to one of the learned professions, must take up the ancient classics. I Classical study trains the mem ory, the invention, the imagination the judgment, taxing them all in a
 high degree; it furnishes thoughts
 which yield themselves up to pa
 tient labor and ingenuity. The stu
 dent thus becomes habituated to
 the thoughts of great minds, in s l sense makes them his own, and
 acquires a power for profound investigation"

SMALL NATIONS
 PREPARE FIGHT
They Will Make Battle to Defeat. Peace Plan of
 France, Britain
By WALLACE CARROLL | Copyright 1895 by United PressD

Geneva, Dec. 14.-(UP)-Dele- gates of small league nations pre- pared their fight against the French British proposal to settle the an-Ethiopian crisis today, while chief delegates of the sponsor nations returned to their capitals with reddened ears.
 It seemed to be the view of the small-nations men, to whom the league is really a league for mutual protection and not an agent of big power diplomacy, that the peace plan was even more unfavorable to EtI dopia than 1t had at first ap- peAred.
 They Had Agreed
 They pointed out that in it, France and Great Britain agreed to recommend" and use their in- fiuence" with--they call 1t to force Emperor Halle Selassie to accept the plan, while nothing at all was said as regards recommending" or "using their influence" with the more outspoken Benito Mussolini
 But 1t was noted also that, when Mexico and Sweden showed signs of revolt at yesterdays meeting of the general staff" of the league penal- ties committee Anthony Eden of Great Britain was quick to say that his government would continue to give all the assistance in its power to the general staff in its work of directing penalties against Italy.
 For the present there was an interim in activity here. The gen. eral staff-the committee of 18-has adjourned until after the full league council meets next Wednesday to consider the peace plan. This post pones for at least a week any ac- ton. if action is planned, on an oil embargo against Italy.

 Persistent runors came to me concerning actions of persons at the drowning, which if established, might have, constituted foul play, but thorough investigation of witt nesses under oath failed to subStan- tiate these rurnors."

Further more, say police, young men make up the large majority of those nailed for passing red lights and stop signs.
 The fair sex can find encourage ment in the fact that most police men agree that women are safer drivers than men. More concrete evidence of this can be found in the fact that of the several hundred recent arrests here for violation of the traffic ordinances, only two of the offenders were women.

 Capt. Richard LeRoy, desk officer at headquarters, to whom many of the violators come to pay either $5 for passing red light or g for passing stop sign, declares that 70 per cent of those halted for vio- lations are drivers of commercial vehicles.
