A PRINTING SCHOOL.
An Experiment That is Being Tried In
the Westboro, (Mass) Reform
School.

The Journal received very pleasant call
Yesterday, from Mr.. William F. Marcy, who
will remain in the city for few days in the
interest Of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society of New York. Mr.. Marcy is a practi-
cal printer and it was under his instruction that
the printing department in the refsrm school
at Westboro, Mass, was inaugurated, for the
purpose of giving the boys chance to learn
a trade somewhat out of the line usually fol-
lowed in penal institutions, and which would
enable the boys after leaving the school to
readily find employment.
What success did You have:"
well, while / was there only a few
months before secured more lucrative sit
uatlon. My experience, however, as far as it
went, was satisfactory. 2 The boys took an
apparent interest in the work, learned rapid
ly and gave promise Of making good printers"
How did the public look upon the expert
mentE
There was a good deal of prejudice
against which we had TO combat at
paper which we published. We
had to convince the public that the cases Of
the boys differed from those Of .old and hard
ened criminals, and if they could have some
trade which, upon their leaving the iHstitu
ton would give them employment at once,
the result might be to turn them into ways of
industry and make respectable members of
society of them. This would Of course be an
advantage to the public-which would more
than repay any expense this experiment
might call for" SIS this department sull con-
.inuedf'
Yes when left secured the position for
Il friend of mine, who is a thorough printer
and who | believe will make most success
full teacher The experiment has not been
established long enough yet, to show any
decided results, but believe it will prove a
good thing and will be made permanent

An anonymous correspondent suggests that
The full measure of prosperity which might
come to our city with the business boom
winch is now well under way, and which we
believe has come to stay is lessened by
'he fact that great many citizens
lah to patronize our own
business firms as fully as they should but
instead send away for many articles which
could just as well be procured of our
WIN merchants and which would
SUI 50 much to the business prosperity OF
we city. Our correspondent-who writes
feminine hand and signs herself MARY
'ur'ner suggests that as outside merchants
wy no part of the taxation of the city. and
u nothing by their prosperity to its valua-
A'" 'ne policy of patronizing them is really
'horted-sighted one. The same money
ended here would make more business

'',oution, and consequent decrease in
M burdens of taxation to every citizen.

ssesnons, and we commend them to the

CRANK OR VILLAIN.
karshal Morse Requested to Look Him
Up
For Driving Watervilie Stable Team
Further than He Agreed

About four O'Clock Monday afternoon, a
young fellow called Patsy, who works in the
factory at WatervilIe, called at Shorey's sta
Bile in that place and hired a team 10 go ia
Winslow. As he was driving out he asked a
young fellow who works in the stable to ride
over to Winslow with him. The young mar
got in and they drove as far as Vassalboro
before the Young man asked where they were
going. I'm going to Augusta. I've got
some friends there that wish to see
We'll, I've got no money nor any oyercoat,
| can't go down there Don't you be
afraid, there's money enough for both, said
the fellow called Patsy. showing quite a
large roll of bills.
Yesterday morning Marshal Morse of this
city got word from AIr. Shorey at Waterville,
asking him to look the matter up. The
Marshal soon found the boy and team at
COombs' stable. He brought the fellow
down to the police station and locked him
up. The boy was somew hat frightened and
told the Marshal that he had nothing to do
WIN tIle AIdIT.
The fellow called Patsy had promised to
pay his bills but hadn't given him any money
and had nothing to pay his hotel bills with at
the Farmers" where he passed the night
Telephoning Mr.. Shorey, the marshal got
word that the boy was a nice fellow and to
give him his liberty, also TO keep the team
until further orders. The Marshal bought
the young fellow ticket for Waterville, and
sent him home impressed with the bad re-
suits of being in evil company. The other
man is thought to have taken the train osten-
sibly for Gardiner. Mr.. Morse has clue
to his whereabouts, and before long will
probably have him where he will be Obliged
to answer for his strange behavior.

BASE BALL.
The Prospect for Kennebec Valley
League.

The latest report from the base bali world
10 to the effect that Bowdoinham will have a
good amateur nine the coming season and
desires to enter the league with Augusta,
Gardiner and Bath. This would make just
the right number of clubs and wonld
insure some interesting and exciting
contests. There will probably be meet
ing very soon of delegates from these four
places for the purpose of forming league,
and drawing up rules and regulations under
which all differences that come up in the
various games can be easily adjusted.
The idea is good one and
worthy of a strong and enthusiastic
backing. There is the material in this city
for a good club if the best players can be
brought together and thoroughly organized I'M
der one captain and made to work in harmony.
The great secret of success in the great Ma
tional game is team work. Brilliant indivd-
ual playing will never win pennants team
of ordinary players who work together will
win a greater measure of success than Il
team of better players where each one plays
for himself
