THE HAZING CADETS.
The Victims of Last Year the OppressOrs
of This, and 1t Must Stop.

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 2o-Captain Ramsay
being asked what the character OF the hazing
was, and whether or not it was slight, re-
sponded that it consisted of turning the
fourth class out of their hammocks at night,
making them eat soap, stand on their heads,
turn somersaults, sing songs, etc. and in
eyeryway making themselves as ridiculous
as possible. Some people heard with a
smile. Captain Ramsay then went on to
say that the hazers had no excuse for their
conduct. They had been fully warned. The
law of Congress had been constantly kept
before their eyes and had remained posted
up in their quarters whole year.
Their attention ha been called
to it in a special order in which the law had
been cited at length. The Captain stated
that cadet had been dismissed last Novem-
Der for hazing Campbell, also one for hazing
Tisdale, two for hazing Tuggle, one for haz-
ing Winram, and now, you see, these very
boys have been hazing others. Captain Ram
say is determined to break up hazing, and
says if these boys, with all the warning they
had received, would fly in the face of law
and order, they must take the consequences.
Obedience was the first duty to be learned,
and the cadets must learn it. He understood
some of the accused would try to avoid the
consequences of their folly by pleading that
they did nothing merely looking on. This
would not avail them, he said because by
their presence they assisted and were equally
responsible as the others.

The Hish-SchOol Bunding-Thorough Re
pairs.


TO the Editor of the Indianapolis JOurnal:
The old high-school building is undergo
ing a general overhauling and renovation,
and by the opening of the fall term will be
in better condition and safer than even i'm
mediately after its erection. The repairs on
the west wing, fronting Pennsylvania street.
are fundamental and render the three great
rooms, each seating hundred students, safe
beyond question. Through the center of
the basement massive brick piers have been
erected. reaching to the first floor upon
these are iron columns, supporting heavy
timber cords, thus giving a bearing of ten
inches to the floor joists on each side of the
chord. The joists have been secured to each
other by inch-thick tie rods, and these again
to the north and south walls by rods run
ming through the walls and attached to YER
teal timbers external to the walls. The
second and third floors are secured in the
same way. The work is being done by
Messrs. Bohlen Daggett. Considerable
needless apprehension has been incurred by
the timber props temporarily set up against
the north wall while the repairs were in prog
ress. The floors of the Michigan street
front have also been strengthened from base
to attic by vertical columns and tie beams.
If the old shack has carried its load safely
through the past ten years. it is doubly safe
now, and no further fears need be enter
tanned. Mr.. H. C. Henderson, the
building agent, has always kept a watchful
eye on the structure and is prompt to OBJ
serve and correct any defects involving the
safety and comfort of teachers and students
Mr. w. W. Grant the high-school principal,
is about the building daily, and deems the
repairs adequate and the building safe The
stairs halls and exits are ample; the doors
open outward, and there is no locking in OF
pupils; every assembly room has both front
and rear stairs The walls have all been
either whitened or papered in light colors,
and the various halls and rooms of the his
torical old clap-trap never were so safe,
CHEEKY and comfortable as at present, and
will serve the purposes of high-school until
a new building is erected which can easily be
done by sections, in the near future, without
closing or mountaineering the schools. BY
the new method of two daily sessions. not
more than three hundred students are in the
building at any one time, whereas, for seve-
crowded the rooms daily. Six of the At
lantic heliotypes-Lowell, Emerson, Long
fellow, Bryant, Holmes and Whittier-have
been presented by Houghton & Mffiin, and
will adorn the rooms where English literature
is taught. Mr. Grant may be seen at the build
ing daily, and any one skeptical as to the
safety of the building is welcome to examine
it, before rushing into the papers or drawing
the bead on school committees, who are us
ing every means at their disposal to render
the school buildings of the city among the
best and safest in the United States.
