Miami Has Met Requirements Demanded, Declares President Benton, While Thompson, of State College, Leaves Answer To the Trustees. srsriar, dibt.tcb to tbb innin. Athena, Ohio. June 30l Dr.

Alston Ellis, of Ohio University, gave 'out the following ummt to-day la reply, to tha letter of President Henry B- Prltchatt. of Carnegie Foundation. In wbicb the latter said that Ohio University waa on of three Ohio Institutions which would not part let pa ta la ths benefits of the Foundation because of defects." which pointed out. "I havs not bad Urn to give careful reading tha artlcla to which you rafar. but I am reasonably wall acquainted with Its contents for the) reason that prior to Its publication I had received a ropy of tha communication sent to tha Oovernor of Ohio by lte authorities of tha Carnegie foundation.

Just aa auoa as I can be freed from executive dalles connected with the present commencement season now upon ua I shall file with tha Governor a pointed answer to thai different statements sat forth la tha communication from tha foundation. Doesn't Understand Conditions. Tha naked truth is tnat tha party who pennej that communication knows but little mora practically about tha workings and needs of tha Ohio University than ha does about the conditions existing upon tha planet Mars. I wtsa to attribute no im proper motive to tha one who wrote tha communication referring to tha universities of this state. The main contention against ths Ohio I'nlversity Is that we maintain a preparatory school and have connected with the Institution a nrmal school ss well.

Any one) ta miliar with the educational coo. dltloas In this part of Ohio will clearly understand that flrel-ciaae high school privileges are not abundant. "Tha preparatory school Is a necessity whether It Is connected with the of liberal arts or the state normal college. The people In New Tork seam to be unduly excited over the conditions In which the raw material la permitted ts enter this Institution, but have apparently lost sight of tha fact that after all Is said and done the product turned out ia tha thing which should hava tha chief attention. It does not matter much under what conditio na a yoing nun Is permitted ts enter college, but It does matter a great deal as to what shall be bis scholastic attainments before be Is permitted to graduate from college.

The New Tork people pet tha emphasis poa entraaes requirements while we put the stronger emphasis upon what tha student does after he has secured admission to this Institution. Mere wa to tnslat upon graduation from a flrst-class 1 high school as a condition fr entrance to the Fresh maa class of the state normal college we would cloee the doors of that Institution to nearly three-fourths of the teachers rf Ohio for whose spec Isl training 'It was established and now supported. Not Sustained By Facta. Those people seem to be absolutely blind to this fact, which Is not a theory but an actual condition. The statement that we at Ohio University seek numbers at tha expense of high grade educational service Is entirely gratuitous and cannot be sustained by the facta.

I have no hesitation In saying that any student enrolled in any one of the regular claaaea of our college of liberal arts can enter a corresponding class In any first grade college in Ohio. "This la not mere statement, for tha thing has been done time and again. The authorities at Cejlumbua will not refuse w.r students entrance to corresponding classes at the Ohio State University for the reason that they are wen aware that at Ohio Uni versity Is a college of liberal arts that for nearly 1ju years has been of high stand In g. representing In all of Its phases wide reaching and thorough-going- work. "There is not an Insttution In Ohio to day that has a college of liberal arte with a stronger course of study thaa has Ohio University, and there Is not a college of the same grade In tha state where such' stii-t account Is kept of the work of every atu dent so that that student may be bald rigorously to the requirements of toe course, 'The statement Is made that our prepare- tory school is demoralising the high school system of the state.

There is no evidence to support tnat fact. Ohio University ts not seeking high school students who have not yet reached the hour of graduation. Right here In Athens there a high school of the first grade that his Increased In pupil attendance light along; through all the years that Ohio University has been a condition of unexampled pros perity. "The students that come to our prepara tory schools a re persons generally between the ages of Is and Z2. many of whom have taught two or three yeaxa the common schools.

They have not had the full ad vantages of a training of a first-class high school, but they have had a good portion of the work of such a school. To say that they should go to some high school -and complete Its course before they shall be -per mitted to enter upon educational work with ns Is practically to say to them that they shall not be. educated at all. for rt la absurd to sup'pose that these young people who have been la that teachers ranks will become pupils In the average high school found In Ohio. No High School Hart.

There Is not a high school In Ohio that la injured' by the presence of oar preparatory school at Ohio University. It Is said that wa accept students that the Ohio Stats University finds unworthy of recognition. If that means' that admit them to oar preparatory school tha state-meat Is However. If It means that ws admit them to any regular class la the college of liberal arta the statement Is absolutely false and aght to be known to be so by the one who made It- It Is said further that we have do err active system of registration. "Agala, It Is saaa that the mala thought Is about bow to get Into college, not about what tha student should do after ha.

gets there, and how long bs should remain there and the kind of work bs should do ebefore the day of graduation comes. "It win be news to the people of Ohio where numerous colleges of high grade exist, that Onto is behind her sister states in the means furnished for ths higher edoca-tloa of her people. The real truth la that bra. has more ed seated people la pro-portion to her numbers than almoet any other state In the union, this condition of affairs being brought about very largely by the prenee In different parts of the stats of Institutions of of college rank where young people can enjoy the best of educational facilities, sear at home, and at the minimum cost. "Ohio University has never claimed to be a university in tbe widest acceptation of that term.

Washington, June 20. A report on the recently Instituted plan of rlfla. practice In Mother of Cod Church Rev. GnMo Sta'Ie. of tha tne puptis schools and other Institutions of ft.

Jo ha 'a congreratlon. Cincinnati, preached tha festival sermon. Father Kloatermann. a brother ln the United States has Just been of City Clerk Harry Klostermann. has been as- issued by the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice.

The review, the first of its kind ever-published, is an unusually Interesting- one, since it deals wtth a subject that eventually will become as popular as calisthenics ars to-day. This beinc the Initial number, apology Is made for the lack of more detailed Information on the growth of the rifle movement among; ths 'school children of the 'United States, but ths membership list, as seea by organisations, indicates thst the plan finds most favor in the extreme eastern and west ern parts of the United States, excep-; being- represented ln the association by a team that has a most credible record. Tbe Rifle Association was formed by authority of Congress and ia under the auspices of tha War It Is now seeking the enrollment of 1,000,000 men who have qualifled as marksmen with the army At the same time much attention is being given to inculcating the enthusiasm of the pnpmoters among- the schoolboys of tne united Btatea. i The association wants to get ln touch wtth boys In ths high schools, universities and colleges. These, with the permission of ths school authorities, will be taught the proper use of the rifle, and.

at stated times, tour naments will be arranged and the events judged by officers of the regular army, who will make their reports direct to. the association. The latter has also prepared a handsome medal of a standard design, which la given to the youth who makes tha highest score. Plan Made a Hit. The campaign has caug-ht the -fancy of the boys ln New Tork City snd Washington.

where tournaments were held last year and some most credible scores rolled up, all of which have been placed to the credit of the participants among the archives of ths War Department. Rlfla shooting, the association claims, is a clean, wholesome sport, taking the boys into tha open, teaching- them correct habits, self-control and abstemiousness, as wall as care of their physique and their nerves. Theae clubs ars being formed for the purpose, of preparing the schoolboys of today to become the defenders of their country and themselves. It is obvious, they claim, that should tbe United States become engaged in a war of any magnitude the bulk of our armies would be composed of young men, probaby 23 years old. If a majority of these hays only learned tha first of tne proper handling of the rifle through' the agency of -the school clubs then much will have already been accomplished towsrds whipping the whole Into shape for quick, move to the scene of action! No interest has been taken in tbe rifle practice scheme by the schools of Cincinnati but two civilian clubs.

have been formed through the assistance of Captain M. M. Maxon, the army recruiting officer In that city. One of these is headed by Captain Edward H. Thompson, formerly with the First Regiment.

Cincinnati, and Sergeant Major Philip Weiss, of the noncommissioned officers' staff of the latter organisation, is the President of a society of mora recent formation. Both have applied for enrollment Into tbe. national organisation through Colonef Bdward T. who is tha Ohio State Secretary of tbe national organisation. Hers are a few "don'ts" already adopted by the association, which are am bodied ln the report: Don't point your gun anywhere bnt at thai target.

Don't toad antil you are ready to fire. Don't drop tha rifle on the floor. It may bend tbe sights.) Dont Jerk the; eqneese It. Don't fire until you are sure of your aim. Don't fire if yon are unsteady.

Take your rlfla down -and rest. Don't talk on the Arms' line while practlos Is gulng- on. i Don't fall to try aad make tha bast score you can. Don't ever handle a slfls without first examining to see If It ts loaded. Don't load the piece behind tha firing point.
