With due impressiveness the school
was organized under the title Of the
junior school Of horticulture, and the
rules, few and strictly necessary, were
laid down to the enrolled students.
Then each boy, provided with his own

which the league supplied, went forth
and took possession Of his lot.
Then began the work set out before
Miss Stevens Of directing the super
abundance Of physical energy Of which
boys are possessed into a profitable edu-
cation, at the same time to prove that
a garden Of this kind could be main-
tanned on an cpeR tract Of land in the
busiest section Of the city.
AS an incentive to young "hopefuls
Miss Stevens told them in the beginning
that they might dispose as they pleased
Of the produce OF their patches, and they
set to work with a will.
They came in classes Of about 20, from
eight to ten o'clock in the morning.
Each morning before they began work
Miss stevens gave them instructions foI
the day either in planting, transplantine
or cultivating.
The ground was first plouged and har.
rowed, and then the boys laid out gar.

into smaller plots, most Of them Xxi

New Chief of Naya Bureau of Construc-
ton and Repair.)
Francisco, as experimenting naval con
struction for a number Of naval vessels
under construction there, among them
the battleship Wisconsin. He was on
duty at the Union iron works at the
breaking out of the Spanish-American
wal.
One of the first requests Of Admiral
Dewey after the battle Of Manila bay,
May /, 1898, was to have a constructor
ordered on his staff, and Constructor
Capps was selected for that important
duty. He spent more than a year in
Manila and earned the highest COM
mendation from Admiral Dewey for his
professional work, Such Of the sunken
Spanish vessels as he considered worthy
Of repair after examination were raised
under his direction and put In such con-
ditioh in Cavite that they went to Hong
Kong under their own steam. There
they were later repaired under the super
vision Of Naval Constructor Hobson, to
whom has often been ascribed the credit
for their raising, but as a matter Of fact
that work was entirely under Mr.. Caps.
He returned to this country with Ad-
miral Dewey on the Olympia in the au-
| tumn Of 1899. He was ordered to Wash
Ington, where he did duty in the buerau
Of construction and repair and upon the
board Of inspection and survey for about
| 10 months. In the spring of 1901, when
Rear Admiral BOwles was appointed
chief constructor, he selected Naval Con-
structor Caps as his successor at the
navy yard, New York, where his admin
l~stration has been very successful, and
earned him the commentator Of all his
Oficial superiors.
Upon Rear Admiral BOwles' resigna-
ton Of the position of chief constructor,
Naval Constructor Caps was selected
for the place by the president upon tbs
earnest recommendation Of Secretary
Moody entirely upon his merits and rec
ord for efficiency. Immediately upon
learning that Admiral BoWles was goins
to leave the service Mr.. Moody gave
careful consideration to all the omcerl
eligible for selection as his successor
but there was no intimation generally
that the place was vacant, and the an.
nouncement of Admiral BowIes' resigna
ton was simultaneous with the an
