Board of Visitors to Military Academy
Reports Discipline Is Thoroughly
Enforced There.

Hazing is no more at West Point. ac-
cording TO thekreport of the board OF
visitors to the United States Military
Academy there. AS the same report has
already been made concerning the An
napolis cadets, 1t appears that the cam
paign of recent years against hazing in
these two training schools for the fight
ers OF the country has been successful.
The board reports that never In the
whole history OF the institution at West
Point has discipline been more thorough
~ enforced than at the present time
Satisfaction is also expressed by the
board that a comprehensive scheme has
been adopted for .he Improvement OF
the buildings and grounds OF the insti-

Jap Model for Brit0n.
Lord RoSebery Thinks
Says Nippon Advances by Governmental
Efficiency, England by Genius in Spite of
neffCenCy-BIames Party Bigotry.

A new book by Alfred Stead entitled
Great Japan, will shortly be pub
lished with a preface by Lord Rose
berry. The former English premier points
out that Japan is an object lesson Of
national efficiency.
Lord Rosebery says further in part
, Not hundred books or a thousand
prefaces will bring this lesson home to
our own nation. We have been SO sue
cessful in the world without efficiency
that In the ordinary course OF events
We shall be one of the last to strive for
II without some external pressure.
Genius VS.. Inefficiency.
I'VE won our empire and our liber-
ties by genius and daring in an ineffi-
cient world. Now that one or more ma
tions are keenly striving after efficiency
1t will not be easy to maintain our heri-
tage; for the inefficient nation must
sooner or later go to the wall
Three things may move us-obvious
decline. sudden catastrophe. or some
stimulating example. This last, at least,
rs furnished by Japan.
.r Ideal Of Nippon.
Our country is our IDOL says the
Japanese editor whom you quote, and
patriotism our first doctrine. From the

Emperor downward, the vast majority
have no other religion
Politically speaking. we begin and
end with party. We are all striving TO
put ourselves or our leaders into Offices
or expel other people from them. This
is not from want of patriotism: quite
the reverse, the habit of centuries has
made us believe that this is patriotism !;
this and no other.
The fact is that party is an evil. Its
operation blights efficiency 1t keeps
out of employment a great mass of
precious ability. 1t puts into place not
the f1ttest, but the most eligible from
The party point OF view: that Is very
often, the worst.
English Despair.
The possibility OF a directing and
vitalizing government that shall do
great things we seem to exclude from
possibility with sort of despair
And yet there is work TO do-press-
ing. vital work, which does not admit
of delay: work which would fill strenu-
otis years, even IL parliament were sus-
pended and not speech were delivered.
But parliament must sit and speeches
must be discharged. We must, then. at
least, learn from Japan how to obtain
efficiency in spite of the party systems.
That is the best lesson that she can
teach us.

A well attended meeting of the public
Fairgrounds committee of the Asso-
ciateG Charities was held yesterday af-
ternoon at 926 street northwest. TO

lay plans for the coming season.

equip 1t as a model ground An effort
will also be made to secure permanent
possession of the Southeast reservation,
now owned by the city. and make ex-
tensive improvements. One colored
ground in the Southwest will also be
made permanent
Ask Regular Officer.
The Commissioners will be asked to
create the Office of supervisor OF public
Fairgrounds. II the project is carried
through, Supervisor Curtis will be en-
gagged for the whole year. instead OF
being in Washington during the vaca-
ton season only.
The mass meeting planned for Decem-
ber will be postponed until about the
time Congress is considering the District
estimates
In the last season, many Fairgrounds
dividuais and lent for the season. A
vote of thanks was given the owners
Supervisor Henry s. Curtis, in his an
nual report said:
THE number of Fairgrounds increased
from IL in 1904 to 19 in 1905 The num-
Der of children who attended has grown
from about 5000 or 10000 in 1904 to
229, ,S26 in 1905.
the work this year amounted to 1850
THE interest Of the teachers is shown
from the fact that so many volunteered
their services before II was assured they
would be paid and that many OF them
paid considerable sums out of their
own purses to provide for the play

the whole movement on quite a differ
ent plane.
"A second way in which the play
grounds have been changed from a pri-
vate to public enterprise has been the
opening of twelve Fairgrounds under
the control of the school board The
most decided advance In the work of
the summer has been the employing of
paid teachers for directors In all of the
Fairgrounds.
The greatest difficulty which the d.
rectors had throughout the season was
the lassitude OF the children in play
ing games. Every incentive which
could be thought OF was offered to in
duce them to take up games with enthu-
siasm and play with all their might To
were offered TO the winners, and com
petitions were held between the differ
ent grounds But all these efforts were
only partly successful.
The explanat ton of II, we believe IS
the heat and moisture of the summer
climate OF Washington; also the faot
that many Of the directors had them
selves never learned to play these games
well.
The gymnasiums in the different play
grounds are primitive and incomplete
and there was 40 time to form gymnas-
tic classes and do regular gymnastic
work such as is done IN the Fairgrounds
OF New York.
Tots Few.
1T was source of surprise to the
supervisor that so few OF the small chill
dren came regularly to the Fairgrounds
In many of the larger cities the children
under FIVE and six years are In the ma
jorfty and are usually more regular in
attendance than the older children but
Few children under five years came to
the Fairgrounds this summer"
