THINGS NEEDED AT WEST POINT.

The report of the board OF visitors to the
West Point Military Academy is an uncom-
monty interesting document. and the member
VINO wrote il. or those parts OF it which have
been reproduced in the newspapers. deserves TO
have his name known. For one thing, he pos
sesses a keen sense of humor. and understands
how to employ the device of exaggeration for
laudable purpose in an effective manner. He
says for example. of the alleged musical instru-
nent'' in the chapel that ito initiate it and set
.'it going is in itself proclamation of the
sabbath" and that "lt is disgrace TO the

dwelling would tolerate them for single week.

accommodations are not only inadequate but

The main conclusions of the board that
there is "a pressing necessity for a complete
tearing down and new building up in imita-

recommendations may not be unanimously
