are to be permanently assigned to the
ten districts into which the city is di-
vided.
In each one of these districts, one
building is to be known as headquar-
ters for the substitutes. When a sub
stitute is not taking tire place of alb
sent teachers. she will work under the
guidance of the principal of a build
ing, being assigned for systematic
work to some room or rooms.
These substitutes are paid So week
for their services. With two or three
additional substitutes in reserve, the
places of absent and visiting teachers
can be provided for.
1t is believed that the expense will
not be greater than under plans that
have previously been followed. Under
the former system teachers were sent
at random to different parts of the city,
and were paid by the day, serving only
about half their time.
1t is evident that under the proposed
plan, the substitutes themselves will
gain confidence and receive valuable
guidance from the limited number of
principals with whom they are asso-
ciated. Moreover 1t will be possible
to gain a much more intelligent idea
in advance of their promise and their
tastes as prospective teachers.
Especially will these substitutes be
of great value in buildings in which
they are stationed, in assisting in
grades that contain more than the reg
ulation number and with children in
need of individual assistance.
The whole question Of substitutes is
one Of the most perplexing with which
the superintendent has to deal, and the
plan described above thus far appears
to remove some Of the most serious diff
f1culties.
THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Superintendent Carroll speaks with
pride Of the school exhibi: held in June.
He says:
The effect of the exhibit upon the
teachers themselves was most help
full. 1t called forth unanimous and
hearty effort from teachers and chill
dren, and showed what could be ac-
comphshed by a united effort. The
moral effect was no less marked. Chill
dren and teachers did their best.
The result in the community was
something phenomenal. A conserva-
tive estimate placed the number of
visitors at abou- 10000. Men and
women of all ages, of high degree and
low degree, throngsd the corridors and
examined eagerly the specimens of
work done by their own children and
by other children. teachers and 9th
ers from nelghboring towns and cities
were also interested and visited tie ex-
hlbit by hundreds. many coming more
than once.

POWERS AS LORD CHUMLEY

y
Mr. Leland T. Powers delighted
large audience in his Interpretation of
Lord Chumley," at Mechanics Hall,
last night. The entertainment was the
second in the series of the Worcester
entertainment course, and proved vast
ly amusing as well as showing what an
accomplished actor can do without the
usual stage accessories.
In fact, Mr.. Powers was the whole
thing, impersonating ten radically diff
ferent characters and carrying the pro-
duction through with such ease and
grace as to cause his audience to almost
imagine the entire cast with the accom-
panying stage paraphernalia was before
them.
The next entertainment in the course
comes Jan. 10, when the Bostonia Sex
tet Club will be the attraction.

Senator Caffrey of Louisiana again
asserts that the Spanish treaty will
not be ratified at the present session
of the senate, and that it will be first
amended by the insertion of the clause
declaring it to be the purpose of the
United States not TO annex the archi-
pelago, but to set the natives up as an
Independent nation. Anxiety over the
situation at Iloilo is said to have I'M
done all that had been accomplished by
Mr.. Bryan in bring democratic sena-

easiness over the position of Gen. Mil
Ter is common enough, but in most
quarters it is used as an argument for
Fastening rather than preventing rat
ification, and the chances are that Mr.
Caffery has made bad guess. Todays
events should throw some light on this
question.

The country's new policy of having
colonial possessions will make a great
change in the lives of officers and men
of the regular army. For years these
men have led a comparatively peaceful
existence; in fact, with the exception
of the excitement caused by an occa-
sional Indian uprising, it has been alb
solutely placid. But now all is changed,
and army men will be compelled to
spend years in trying climates and I'M
der conditions generally unfavorable to
comfort and enjoyment, the only COM
pensation being that promotion will be
more rapid than heretofore. So far as
the daily routine of life is concerned,
the army will feel most keenly the
changes incident to the new order of
things.

Envious persons from other sections,

institutions in Worcester county will
not overlook the purchase of 1860 acres
of land in Baldwinsville at about $40
per acre, to be used as an adjunct to

at Waltham. The tract includes seven
farms besides ten other parcels of land,
and laps over into Royalston and Phil
lpston. There are 800 adults and juve-
niles at the Waltham institution, but
the annual applications for admission
are twice as many as can be accommo-

Boston pats herself on the back be-
cause there were only 41S16 arrests in
the city last year. This shows a de-
crease of some thousands from the rec
ord of 1897 and the preceding year. but
no account is taken of numerous bur
glaries, assaults and other mysteries
that remain to be fathomed, and for
which no arrests have been made. Fig
ures may not lie, but sometimes they
are very deceptive. Possibly Boston is
not SO truly good as she thinks she is.

A specialist in nervous disorders who
has been studying the extraordinary
development of shoplifting in New
York during the winter, is said to have
reached the conclusion that stealing,
far from being q manifestation of a
dsordered brain or a totally depraved
nature, is quite "a natural thing" IT
should say" he continues, chat shop
lifting is not disease, as a rule, but
is the natural outgrowth of human
propensity and the senseless and
wrongful Capitalization of wealth."
This view is interesting, but it should
not be adopted by courts and juries,
as its general acceptance would in
evitably result in great inconvenience.
There may be- and very likely there
are, natural thieves as we'll as natural
liars, but the idea should not be en-
couraged Even human nature is still
subject to pains and penalties.
