Whit Love Needs.

Love, that foundation stone of married
happiness. without which no place can be
called a home, must put itself to school

a sweetheart can grow into good and
helpful wife. Without an enlightened
principle of action and some real knowl
edge of how to rule over and administer
her affairs as the steward of her hus.

to produce happy home. Mere readiness
to yield everything and give all does not

cRozlER's PROMOTION

The appointment of Captain William
Crozier to be chief of ordnance, with
the rank of brigadier general, may
cause some pain among those whom he
has outstripped. He has gone ahead of
five captains, twelve majors, six lieu
tenant colonies and four colonies. Some
of the colonies have served IA the ord
nance department a great deal longer
time than General Crozier. The APP
pointment was made, it is said, on the
recommendation of the secretary of
war General Crozier succeeds General
Burlington, retired for age, with whom
he was associated in the invention of
the Burlington Crozier disappearing
carriage for seacoast artillery.
Though General Crozier's promotion
created a great deal of surprise, there
is no question as to his ability and fit
by President Mckinley for the chair
of natural and experimental philosophy
at West Point when the death of
General Niche left the position va
cant, but he declined the place That
appointment was looked upon very
favorably by all who knew the man.
General Crozier went TO the Military
Academy from Ohio in 1872 andwas
graduated as second lieutenant in the
artillery in 1875. He became lieutenant
of ordnance in 1881 and captain in 1890.
He served in the Spanish war and rep
resented the United States at The
Hague peace conference.

MORE MONEY NEEDED

At the Danvers Insane Hospital
there were September 30, 1,136 patients.
In the annual report of the trustees it
it stated that the institution IS taxed
far beyond its normal capacity. 1t is
proposed to put up buildings large
enough to accommodate 800 female
patients, provided that the state
board approves of the plan and the
legislature will appropriate funds for
the purpose.
The trustees Of the Westboro Insane
Hospital call attention of the increas-
ing number of patients. The daily av-
erage number the past year was
slightly above $50, and on September
80 was 692. The number treated is far
in excess of the number for which the
buildings were planned and the wards
have become uncomfortably crowded
The trustees plead the need of further
appropriations
The trustees of the Taunton Insane
Hospital also call for money. The ex-
ternal woodwork of the entire institu-
llOl mas NOT Deen painted LOT SIX years
and $4,000 is needed for painting.
Other improvements should be made.
1t is argued that more land be pur-
chased. To meet all the plans suggest
ed for increasing the efficiency of the
institution a considerable sum would
be necessary. The number of patients
treated in the Taunton hospital last
year was larger than ever before
The number of inmates September l.
was 927 The superintendent says that
he regards working wards, that is
wards for those who are willing to
work, as necessary because the senti-
ment in favor of work is more or less
injured if those who object to work are
permitted to associate with the work
ers. At the Taunton Insane Hospital
there are three working wards for the
men and two 70 the women.
All three institutions report efficient
service on the part of employees and
states of affairs so far as the work is
concerned generally satisfactory.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY

The London correspondent Of the
New York Sun maintains that there
are some shrewd Englishmen who
would not feel grieved should the Kali
ser undertake to interfere in the South
African struggle. England would have
an excellent excuse. should Germany
assume a stern attitude, to settle the
Trarsvaal war on the easiest possible
terms. It could be said that England
was threatened by a great power, and
that all the resources Of the nation
must be massed Immediately against

EDUCATIONAL REFORM IN CHINA

Minister Conger has sent to the
state department translations of two
Imperial edicts calling for educational
reforms in China which were published
in the Pekin Gazette. One of them
commands the viceroys and governors
of the various provinces to select stu
dents of good character and ability to
be sent abroad for the study of va
rious branches of industrial science.
When students who have thus been
sent to foreign lands fer study have re-
turned home, the proper authorities
are to examine them and to recon-
mend such students as are found to
be competent to the Board of Foreign
Affairs This board is instructed to
conduct further examinations and to
commend to the head of state those
who are worthy of special honors. The
provinces are called upon to arrange
means for paying the expenses of stu
dents who are selected to travel and
study
Students who may go abroad at their
own expense have opened to them also
the road to special distinctions at the
hands of the government.
The other edict commands a revision
of the educational systems of the va
rious provinces. 1t is prefaced by the
following remarks, which show disgust
at the attachments of the Chinese
scholars.
% dot
of all affairs, and in the cultivation of
talent the most important thing is the
improvement of educational methods.
From of old 1t has been the glory of
the academy that it has laid emphasis
upon the practice of virtue and the
cultivation of the arts. Therefore, In
such times both theory and practice
were attended to, and men of talent
and virtue were numerous. But now
adays scholars are either empty pre-
tenders or of no use or are tickle and
wanting in sincerity. At present it is
desired to remove these evils; but
without reverence for teaching and ex-
hortation to study there is no way of
prospecting the undertaking"
The University OF Pekin. the edict
says, must be put in order. The vice
roys and governors Of the provinces
are commanded to convert the schools
in the provincial capitals into colleges.
In the minor divisions intermediate
and primary schools are to be founded.
1t does not appear from the edicts
that any great change in the subjects
of study is contemplated. 1t is rec
commended that every effort be made TO
produce men conversant with the
times Taken literally that would
mean, of course, the introduction of
the most approved educational meth
DDS That, evidently, is not the mean
ing of the edict. which cites, in part.
what courses. Of instruction shall be
given.

PUBLIC CAN SUBSCRIBE
TO DEVENS STATUE FUND

The Devens statue commission met
Saturday afternoon at the office of
Senator George F. Hoar and took
the matter Of raising that portion of
the statue fund which is to come from
the popular subscription.
The commission voted to make a
thorough canvass of the city and
county and has put this part of the
work into the hands of Col. Edward j.
Russell and Capt. David M. Earle. The
plans for this work will be left with
them. the commission offering only
what 1t thinks valuable suggestions.
AS yet the commission has had no
formal and specific statement from the
Worcester Board of Trade. but the
sum raised by that body is about $500.
The commission now has at hand $4,000,
so that there is a neat nucleus with
which to begin the popular subscrip-
ton work. The deputy commissioners
expect to begin an active solicitation
within two or three weeks.
