LONDON NOTES

By The Air Mail

(Fress Our Own. Correspondent)"

London, Aug. 18.

The monument to Gen. Gordon which stands in Trafalgar square

is justly considered one of the

deration, the World” Alliance of Y.M.CIAS," The Student Volunteer Movement, and the LMC.

It is true, that he organised war

most impressive memorials in Lon-work during the war, is a Knight

dan,

At Khartoum a living memorial to him exists in the form of the Gordon College, a copy of whose strual report I have just received,

When Kitchener recaptured the

Sudan he appealed för funds to erect the college to Gordon's me- mory, £100,000 was subscribed,

"What was then admitted to be a daring experiment has been ex-- traordinarily successful, Gardon "College to-day is indubitably a

public school.

NATIVE HOUSEMASTERS The Sudanese housemasters, I read, have fully justified their additional responsibilities.” The boys-grandchildren of the Mahdi's subjects-have acted “Ju- lius Caesar" in an Arable transla- tion. And the "Soccer" eleven has won eight of lla twelve matches

I can imagine Gordon smiling at the statement in the report that improved discipline has been se- cured "without undue coercion.”

He would also thoroughly ap- prove of the importance given to practiced education the back of which he deplored in his own case. The King is the patron of the college, and the Executive Com- mittee meets in London. An ex- officio member of this is Mr. Mon- Lagu Norman.

SUCCESS OF ROYAL ACADEMY

SHOW

The summer show of the Royal Academy closes to-morrow" night on a note which is full of promise for British artists. Not for a good many years have the sales been so

satisfactory. Up to this evening over £13,000 had been paid for pictures, as against £11,000 a year 380. I am told that painters of practically every school have shar- ed in the impressive drawings. The number of visitors, too, has

of the Legion of Honour and holds: the American Distinguished Ser-

a-Medal

Some think that: these facts

should disqualify him for a peace prize.

But none can deny his influence for peace and understanding among the youth of all nations.
