The movement in behalf of higher
qualifications in the nominees for the
school board than those usually
deemed sufficient in candidates Sc
lected for political considerations will
not be likely to stop because the indie
pendent candidates were not elected.
Whel neither the Republicans nor the
Democrats saw tit to indorse them and
give them place ON their tickets, II was
hardly expected by the citizens inter-
esteI that more could be accomplished
this year than has been done But
public attention has been called to the
fact that it is not getting the best ma
terial procurable upon this important
board and that the rights Of children
are not deemed SO sacred but that
they can be icopardiZed by the common

Peter Wiley, war veteran, has
Just died at the Soldiers Home i'll
Chelsea. He was born slave in
Maryland about tifty-nine years ago.
At the beginning of the war he ran
away and went to live in Penn
svlvauia. When Coy. Andrew issued
call for colored troops to form
the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-ffth
infantry and Fifth cavalry regi-
ments in Massachusetts, Pete Wiley
was among the first to respond to the
call for coIOred men outside of Massa
chusetts. He came to Boston with Il
large number of colored men from
southern Pennsylvania, and in March,
1868, was enlisted in Co. B, Fifty
fourth Massachusetts volunteers, at
Readville. He left for the south with
his regiment under Colonel Robert &.
Shaw, and was i'll every engagement
of the regiment during its entire
service. He was among those
of the storming party which reached
the parapet of Fort Wagner at the
time Colonel Shaw lost his life. He
came out of that fight, as well as
others in which ho was engaged, unln-
iured. When the Shaw memorial was
unveiled last May he was among those
of the coored volunteers who formed
the guard of honor For some years
he has been an inmate of the Soldiers
Home at Chelsea. He was member
of Robert A. Bell post, 1874, G. a. r.,
which served as an escort to his body
at the funeral.
Mayor Quincy is promptly pushing
the changes outlined in his inaugural
address. An ordinance has already
been presented by him to the city
council providing for a new department
of baths, to be in charge of an unpaid
board of seven members, two of whom
shall always be women. 1t is provided
that this board shall establish and have
charge of all the public bathing houses
in the city, now or hereafter established,
as well as all the public conveniences.
There is no doubt that there is field
for extensive work in both these di-
rections in order to bring Boston up
to the standard maintained in all pro-
gressive cities in these respects. The
new departure should receive the
prompt approval of the city council.

WAR INVESTIGATION.
General Frank and DIR. Hoyt Testify
as to ChiciSamau Park


Ann.ston, Ala, October 2o.-The war in
Veslsation commission began its work here
TO-DAY by making an inspscton OF the site
at Camp Ship in the forenoon and then
devoting the afternoon to questioning Cen
eral Frank, commanding officer of the
camp ami his chief surgeon, Major Henry L.
Hoyt. Both were identified with Camp
Ihomas at Chickamauga Park General
rank Iavlng been in command Of the
FIRST division OF the Third corps at that
lonl, and Major Hcyt, his CHIEF surgeon
there. 1t was made plainly from the gen.
eral trend of their examination that the
work cone here would pertain more largely
10 Camp Thomas than to the camp here.
as majority Of tie men here were re-
moved from Chickameuga
Returning TO Chickamauga, General
Frank said the hospital tents were not
flocred when he went TO the camp early
in July, though there had been sufficient
time 10 have furn. shed flooHing for the en-
tire camp. General Frank said that mis-
corps commander had never m@ie an in
spection of the camp with reference to sick
ness, Grains etc.
DR.. Henry +. Hoyt was also examined,
especially with reference to Camp Thomas
He attributed the increase in typhoid 20
the sinks, to the flies, TO the fact that the
wells were infected and to the careessness
OF the men.
Dr., Hoyt expressed tire opinion that the
surgeons in the division hospitals had been
competent. The nurses OF the hospital corps,
while ia. thful were in most cases unskilled
and therefore, incompetent.
Dr.. Hoyt said he was familiar with the
complaints concerning the Eighth New
York regiment, especially with the criticism
made by Surgeon General Terry OF New
York. There was, he said, an enormous
sick rate in this regiment and there We're
many cases of home sickness. Circum-
stances surrounding these men were the
same as those affecting others.
