FIRE DEPARTMENT CRITICISED.
Some Points Made by an Ex-Fire-
man.

man.
Savannah, Aug. 2S.-Editor Morning
News: Under the head of the article.
Looking Into the Department" in your
issue Of Sunday, you quote Commissioner
Grayson as saying that it is the desire of
the commissioners to weed out of the
department all of the men who are unable
or unfit to perform the duties of fremen,
that the foremen have received orders to
report all of those in the different compa-
MES that do not come up to their stan
dard of a fireman.
This is indeed a very good move Of the
commissioners. if they are honest in their
desire to rid the department of the men
who are not capable but 1 hope that they
will not, as was done in a recent case re-
ported by the foreman of truck No. l of
man who was incapable of performing
the duties required of him. and who was
reported by that foreman to the chief fire.
man. The man, instead of being dis
charged, was assigned to engine company
No. 8.
Let the commissioners examine into the
record and standing of all of the men in
the department without regard to their
political standing and act accordingly; the
public can rest assured that all of those
whom they will find incapable Will be the
men put on by the commissioners. VIII
they do this? Some may believe so, but
until it is done 1 have my opinion.
Another matter that the commissioners
might consider is whether all of the officers
of the department, from the chief down,
are capable men, and in regard to this 1
beg TO call the commissioners attention
to a matter that occurred after the recent
rice mill fire, which I am sure has not
reached their ears, as no changes have as
yet been made on account of the dan
gerous carelessness of the assistant fore
man of hose company No. 3. The matter
refer to is as follows: When the hose
was taken up by this wagon, some 1,l50
feet, by the green hands who have been
put in the place of careful and compe-
tent men, it was laid wrong. The male
end of the lne-to use the term familiar
to the members of the fire department.
was put on top of the wagon where the
female end should have been, next to the
plug, so as to enable them to make con-
nection to the plug. The hose laid in this
condition on the wagon unnOticed by
man of the station for four days When
the public will remember that company
No Is located at headquarters, where
from twenty to twenty-three men are on
duty daily, they Will see what competent
men are in charge of this station. Thls

indeed fortunate that the condition OF the
wagon was discovered and placed in proper
order before an alarm was sent in, or per-
haps the fire underwriters would have
been again blaming our reorganized de-
partment for inefficiency.
Let the commissioners take up the above
case. The News has permission to give
any one of them the name of the writer,
who will furnish the proof, and who does
not sign his name for the reason he de-
sfres no notoriety. An eX-Fireman.

College Friendships.


From Harper S BaZdr.
One of the enduring benefits conferred
by a college on its graduates is not paii
for in money, nor taken into account by
most parents when selecting an educa-
tional institution for their sons and
daughters. The friendships formed at col
lege are not merely pleasant while college
days last; they are influential upon char
acter, and often modify circumstances and
mold purposes during mature years. "A
college draws it's students from many
states, east, west, north, SOUTH and the
culture of this community, the breadth
of that, the angularities of another, ana
the provincialism or the peculiarities Of a
fourth, meet, are fused, are stamped, as
in a new combination, with the die of the
alma mater. A college course does far
more for man or for a girl than to give
intellectual alertness and knowledge of
books. 1t opens to some doors of op-
portcnity which but for its aid had been
always locked, and it marks the begin
nings of friendships which ends only with
life itself.
AS the years go on, the gatherings Of
the alumni at dinner and reception grow
smaller by degrees. One or two familiar
figures drop out Names are starred on the
colleges muster roll-starred with that
little sign which means that those who
bore them have gone over to the major
fty. But there is seldom much sadness;
usually there is only a loving regret for
these absent ones, so strong grows the
feeling that they will be found again when
a higher roll is called. For the essence
of the true college friendship, as of all
friendships is that IL takes hold on the
invisible, and has about it something of
the eternities.
