OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
Design by Elmer E. Garn-
sey Accepted.
GENERAL SCHEME APPROVED
Decoration of Wall Panels of Delivery
Room to Be Determined
Later on.

The Washington Public Library Com
mission. by the approval of four out of
five members, has accepted a design for
the general interior decoration Of the
han lsome building donated by Andrew
Carnegie and erected in Mount Vernon
Square. The design was submitted by
Elmer E. Garnsey, through Albert R.
Ross, architect of the building, said to
be one of the most skillful and highly
regarded decorative painters in New
York. Mr. Garnsey did large majority
of the main interior color decorations
of the Library of Congress. The amount
available for the purpose is sc. 600. ex-
elusive of an architects fee OF $500.
The general color scheme as submit
ted has been approved, with the excep-
ton of the wall panels of the delivery
room, the color design for which Will
be determined upon by the commission
at later date. The commission con-
sists of the three Commissioners of the
District, Colonel Symons, superinten-
dent of public buildings and grounds.
and Theodore W. Noyes. Mr.. Macfar-
land is absent from the city, which pre-
vents the action of the commission from
being unanimous.

This is the foundation of the scheme
describing the general effect. but in the
working OF il w in the building the
colors will be carefully toned for the
actual lights of the apartments, and
more or less minor enriehments. like
the picking out OF ornaments in the
elaborate ceiling and cornice work of

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL OF INDIA

Lest a communication from Mr.. James
n. Hubbard, in your paper of November
II, should impair the interest which the
Anagarika Dharmapala has induced In his
effort to establish an industrial school
among the Sudra, or lowest caste of the
Hindu people of India. few facts should
be given in addition and in explanation OF
the conditions stated by Mr.. Hubbard.
It is a well known fact that there are
about hundred and fifty thousand Q5o.-
ooW, schools in Indian attended by four
million five hundred thousand (4.5OO0oO
pupils supported by government ex-
penditure of nearly twenty million dollars
(s20 100000. There are. however. about
two hundred million Hindus in India, of
whom about twenty million (20ooo.00o) be-
long to the Brahmin class, from which
caste the greater part of the scholars in
the government schools are derived; the
Sudra or lowest caste are absolutely neg
lected They are poor subservient, and
ignorant, and can send no children to the
class of schools named by Mr.. Hubbard

who do toe hwork of distributing pro-
ducts.
These three superior castles. Brahmir,
military and merchant, numbering about
sixty million go 10000. have a proper
tionate number of children. numbering
pedhaps twenty million. Even these castles
are sufficiently provided with schools for
about a quarter of their number. and for
the larger part even in these castles ac-
cording TO Mr.. Hubbards statement, NJ
school provision has been made.
Underlying these three superior castles
are a hundred and forty million Q4o.e0o.-
coe) Sudras; the poor peasants. the ryots.
the workers, with forty million (40 600, COO
children wholly without schools. They
have been so long subjected TO the sub
serviept conditions and the aristocratic
control OF the Brahmins as to be without
power and almost without ambition to sle-
yate themselves. II is among these that

and is a step in advance. Within q very
short time the missionaries of the various
Christian sects have found out that they
make little or no impression upon the
masses OF India. They are beginning To
learn that in order 90 elevate the masses
Of the people OF India their material con-
ditions must he improved. as the neces-

FUTURE NAVAL WARFARE.

Importance is attached to the results of
the Belle isle torpedo experiments, recent
~ carried out at the instance of the ad-
mirality. The object aimed at was to
ascertain to what extent the most vul-
nCrable part of a warship-that below the
water line--would be damaged by % tor
pedo.
So far as the Belleisle was concerned
the results were conclusive. The gun
cotton charge which was used was ef-
fectivc in he highest degree, and II is
generally conceded by naval authori les
that If the torpedo proves as destructive

our war@lips that would remain afoat.
Admiral Tremantle. in an interview with
Il ST. James Gazette representative today.
said that If the damage done to the Belle
isle was as great as he had been in
formed it was, the power OF the torpedo
hal been nbderestimated in the past.

experts saw in the matter was for the
