examination heretofore held there.
The examination papers are prepared ?,<
by the academic board at Auiiapolis, n<
ao there will be no examiuatiou on en- mt
trance to the academy except a pbysi- P?
cal one. r?
In order to make sure that there |
ball be no vacancy, each Senator Ik <
authorised to designate six young men,
one ae principal and the others as first,
second, third, fourth and fifth alternataa.
If the nrincioal falls the otberv
take his place by succession, in their
order. In order to afford an opportunity
for the best talent Id our State to
via the prize, I have decided to have a
competitive examination held in the
State House at Columbia on Monday.
July 28, beginning at 0 o'clock a. m.,
to select a principal and Ave alternates.
Tboee selected will appear before the
examiners of the civil service commissioners
on the 11th of August, after
having been nominated by me to the
navy department No one will be permitted
to enter the examination who
Is not physically sound, as it would
only causa a waste of time. No student
1>m baan exnelled from college
and none bat bona fide white resident*
of the 8tate need apply.
All applicant* for examination will
report promptly to the board of examinees
to be appointed hereafter and annoanesd
through the papers at the
boor and plaoe designated. The board
will prepare the examination paper*
and hand them oat that day.
The aoope of the examination is s> 9*
follows: Reading, writing, spelling,
arithmetic, geography, English grammar.
U. 8. history, world's history,
algebra through quadratic equation*,
and plane geometry (Ave books ol
CbauTsnet's Geometry, or an equivalent.)
The age limits are from 15 to 20
* For the information of candidate*
the following la quoted from the regulations
:
"A sound body and constitution,
citable preparation, good natural cspadty,
an aptitude for study, industriouehablU,
perseverance, an* obedient
aad orderly disposition, and a correct
moral deportment, are such essentia)
qualification* that candidates knowing
their deficiencies In any of these respects
should not, ss many do, subject
tn?ilfM and their friends to the
chances of faturs mortification and
disappointment by accepting appoint*
men ts at the naval academy and entering
on a career which they cannot
soeesMftilly pursue."
' This examination will be at my personal
szpsnse, and the six highest candidates
will then be examined before
the examiners of the civil service commtalonfiis
The examination will be abeoiuteiy
in the hands of the examiners I select,
but previous good conduct at school,
^hmnetmr and rood habits will no _
i doubt have weight with them in mak- K
iof their selection, as well as common ,
senee and manliness. Mental ability
la not the oniy teat to be applied.
The names of the six highest com- ,
aetitors will be sent by me to the navy u
department Immediately after (be ex- V)
ami nation, not later than the flmt of ,
August, and that department will issue
permits to appear before the examloan
of the civil service commission on ,l
the Uth of August, at one of the three
dUca herein before specified. All the
papsrs will be forwarded to Annapoli*
by the eivil service com mi Mi on exam- ,
leers and the highest ?ucce*sful compet)
tor will receive the appointment
io cater the naval academy at the beginning
of the next session. In tbe -()
event the midshipman thus appointed

Egjte first annual examination, I will give
the place to tbe next highest oompet- T

Animals with no idea of color can

Jf the hurrying, thoughtless world
would only pause long enough to consider
what such a discovery means to
civilization we might in another generation
or two do away with our awful
priHonaj which are leas than schools
for crime, and substitute a great scientific

control, where character* could be created
for thot<e born without them.
I have a letter from a prisoner who

was allowed uo reading matter during
that time.

Every thought, desire sml emotion

talk of the dark side of life, who repel

Exactly opposite results can be obtained
by talking aud teaching the joy
of life to the despondent child, showing

With every breath we inhale and

Public PmlM of ChlMrm. I
Will mothers ever learn what a mixtake
it i* to discuw their children's
virtue** and fault* when the children
are present?
It in moat distressing to watch the
effect of such au o|>eralion upon their (
mind*.
I waa calling at the house of an ac- j
quaintance the other day, who Kent the!
maid up-ataira to bring down her Ave-1,
year-old daughter for me to aee. After |
shaking hanus with me the little tot j
perched herself on a chair. Hitting ?|uite j i
still, absorbing every word of the con- ,
venation, which bad turned into dis- |
cussiou of the ways and peculiarities J,
| of the little lady just mentioned and i
her elder sister. |
Now, that mother, I am sure, meant {
no haam to her children; in fact I was
amazed to observe how biiaafully uu-l,
conscious she waa of the possibility of J i
* ** 'L-4 Jatinn li> nnhlln ,
any bail eneci umi , ,
might have upon her child'- mind.:
and yet I have heard that name mother
criticise the same fault in other heads j
1 of families. ,
It would astonish thoughtless pa- ;
rents to kuow the burniug restlessness J
' that obtains possession ot a young I
mind that ha* been thoroughly aroused I
' to self consciousness.
It would save to much trouble and]
undoing if mother* would only open
their eyes and realize that a greater
part of their conversation before chll- j
dren is too personal.
If a child is sensitive or shy, criticism,
esjiecially before oue who dues i
not belong to the family, in sure to
hurt her feelings, and if she is not in- i
clined to be forward, nothing is so well <
suited to encourage conceit. I
It is gros* carelessness on the part of <
parents, and thev should stop and eon- I
sider before speaking and not go blind- i
ly on, supposing that no harm can '
come of such a habit. i
Beside the danger of developing I
vanity, do you not see bow easily the !
habit of gossiping may tie acquired? i<
The little parrols quickly catch the I
idea, and, following the examples of I
their elders, they fake keen delight in ,<
telling what they know of the sayings;'
1 r\f Athpru. ( I
mi<i uuiiikb -- The
"showing 6fT" habit is another |l
trait that seems to l>e universally in >
vogue with parent*. It i* only naitiml '
thnt they should be proud of their chll- j
dren's small accomplishments. which'1
children ?houl?l be taught to take as a ,1
matter of course, but. not allow them to 11
believe that they are "cute" or "smart" 1
on that particular occasion.
A mother says : "Yon do n?t believe
in this, and yet in all the schools the
children are taught recitations and are ,
encouraged to give little entertain-!
, ments. Why in that?" i
' It in l?ecau?e the majority of mothers <
, delight in those exhibitions, not realiz-|
. ing the harm thev do, and prnhablv
would send their children elsewhere if t
' the school forbade such a course.
I hope there is one school in this city |
that has the courage to stand forth and j
do away with that most deplorable ofj
all endings to the school year, "com-,
mencement exercises.''
Such entertaiumentH have a great
deal to answer for. They force the
schools to sacrifice real progress in pref- |
erence to superficialities that never fail I
niont ilia wed* of VHtlitV. self-con- 1
sciou-nes* and egotism in the mind of <
the child. J1'
Surely that is false education, in it i
not? It In merely vanity in a parentM
that demands and enjoya such a spec- J'
taele. j'
Why should we carry unpleasant j I
thirg* when the world is ho full ofjl
bright and helpful one*? The aad j1
and .sinful things exist, and we cannot ji
shut our eyes to them. No law of |
charity requires us to call black white. <
and no law of kindness requires us to |
part witli our common sense. The
| wrong is wrong, and we must face it
and deal with it as best we may; hut
why treat it as a dainty to tie served at
the family table, or carry it about for!
I he delectation of our friends.
