Eastern High School will not be rep- | resented in the race for the Edison scholarship, according to Charles Hart, | its principal, who said yvesterday | that the outstanding students of his school this year are proficient in letters rather than in the sciences and the mechanical arts. With no outstanding scientist or me- chanical geniuses among his fourth- year students, Mr. Hart is of the opin- fon it would be futile to nominate a| candidate in the local competition for | the right to represent the District of Columbia in the Nation-wide scholar- ship race, only to have him eliminated at the outset when compared with other students whose qualifications fit them specifically for a career of scientific en- deavor. Mr. Hart does not feel that the quali- flaations set up by the local committee are' too high; on the contrary, he be- lieves they are “excellent and what they ought to be.” Hopes for Another Opportunity. Last year Mr. Hart said there were Several fourth-year students whose scholarly bent lay in the field of sclence, and he has in mind three of | his junior class students who would make excellent candidates in such a competition next year. For the pres- ent, however, all his outstanding stu- dents are adept in English, literature, history and other subjects comprising the field of letters. The only nominee placed before the committee to date is Charles Webster Hopkins, 17-year-old student of the Y m A’s Woodward School for His candidacy was anncunced last week. shortly after the committee, under the chairmanship of Harry O. Hine, secretary of the Board of Educa- tion, issued invitations to the secondary schools of the city. Qualifications Outlined. ‘The qualifications set up by the com- mittee specify that the candidates be unusually proficient in science or me- chanics; that they have an intelligence quotient of 130, and that they have sufficient secondary school credits to admit them to a recognized technical school of college grade. All nomina- * tions must be in before Friday. Railroad Inventor Dead. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., June 4 (®). —John M.

I expect in Japan there are numbers of helpless tots whose parents perished in the Tokio disaster, in Russia—" “Time for my train.” interrupted the bachelor brother hastily; “tell me the rest tonight.
