real success a school should be first

drawback 70 many quasi colleges
are that they are too sectarian and
therefore are handicapped at the

institutions, we need more people.
Sequachre County with its 1000
population cannot maintain one,
but II it had 10000, as it should
have, then the higher education
which such a school would warrant
might be- supported. Let us have

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
$1,000 Wanted to Garry On the Work
Properly.
40 De Editor Of the spy:

To the Editor Of the Spy:
Will you kindly allow me an opportu-
nifty to bring to the notice of the Spy's
readers the present needs of the Asso-
ciated Charities?
At the close of winter in which the
well-to-do have found themselves
obliged to keep a careful watch upon
the outgo, while the poor and unfortu-
nate have had hard struggle to ward
off actual restitution, the Associated
Charities find their treasury practically
empty.
An institution such as ours cannot
regulate expense narrowly according to
the money already in the treasury.
When we find a worthy family in press
ing need, which must soon force it be-
low the pauper line, we recognize it as
clear duty to do our best to keep these
unfortunates in the ranks OF self-re-
speeding citizens. Such an opportunity
cannot be dallied with; the emergency
must be met promptly and adequately.
We are confident that the charitable
people of Worcester whom our organ
ization is seeking to serve, would con-
slider it very short-sighted financiering
on our part, If, under such circum-
stances, we should neglect far-reaching
preventive work because our funds were
running low.
Having almost emptied our treasury
in relieving those whom we know to be
worthy, for its replenishment we look
with confidence to the generous people
of Worcester. 1t is true that the win
ter is almost ended, and that the season
of greatest suffering is past. But there
are many poor families who during
months of sickness or lack of employ
ment are kept from the city's pauper
roll only by the aid which we are able
to give. And aside from this demand
for relief, our regular work must be
carried on unremittingly. Not less than
a thousand dollars are needed to meet
the expenses of the rest of the year
Is it too much to hope that eight
years Of patient effort have so com
mended the work of this organization
TO the intelligently charitable that this
sum will be speedily forthcoming?
Very respectfully yours,
George H. Haynes, secretary.

JOINED THE "ENTERPRIsE."
Daniel o'connelI and Henry A. Reidy Ad-
mitted to Training Ship.

Two more Worcester boys have been
admitted as cadets to the Massachu-
sets nautical training ship Enterprise.
They are Daniel O'Connell son of ex-
Councilman William O'Connell, of 6
Garfield street, and Henry A. Reidy,
son of George c. Reidy, carpenter and
builder, of 1854 Cambridge street Both
boys were members of the Sacred Heart
Lyceum, and each had been students at
the Worcester high school. They passed
excellent examinations, and viii report
on board the Enterprise Saturday morn
ing. The vessel will sail on her annual
cruise about May l, unless war or some
other untoward event intervenes.
Both boys are enthusiastic over their
prospects, and their fathers seem hard
ly less so. Mr.. O'Connell and Mr.. Reidy
both went to Boston to inspect the ship,
which apparently they do not
think very handsome, but they
were much impressed by the evidences
of discipline and the schooling, and with
the force, activity and courtesy of Com
mander Joseph Giles Eaton, the officer
in command They carried letters of
introduction from Senators Roe and
Crane, and everything on board was
made as pleasant for them as could be.
Both men think berth on the Enter
prise offers about as good an opening
in life as anything that can now be had.
Young O'Connell had been studying
for admission to the Amherst Agricul-
tural College next autumn, when he fell
in with a friend who had but recently
graduated from the Enterprise, and
whose accounts of the prospects of a
nautical life fired him also with ambition
to become a cadet He communicated
his enthusiasm to young Ready, who
was learning a trade at the Polytechnic
school, and as soon as they could con-
vince their fathers of the seriousness of
their purpose. their parents made the
necessary inquiries and gave their con-
sent to the new scheme. Both boys will
enter the engineering class.
