the grain in a few weeks. Through the
instrumentality of the mill. and the
Farm tbs institution is expected to be
largely self-suppOrting from the start.
a home will be built on the hill and
there will be Accommodations for about
50 children next summer. BY means of
the motor power, also there will be
operated a workshop and a number Of
the handicrafts will be taught. In
other words, there will be a manual
training school for the boys. while the
girls will be thoroughly instructed in
all the domestic arts. They can also
make bags with which to sack the pro-
duct of the mill.
An experienced farmer, whom Mr..
Skagen finds qualified in the various
particulars, will he placed in charge.
and he will be the head of the big FAM
lily. There will be a school but only
the rudimentary branches will be
taught, the main object being to train
the children to use their hands and
thu: become independent. Of course if
it is discovered that any boy has talent
along any line the necessary instruc-
ton will be provided for its develop
ment.
The schoOlhOuse will also be used as a
chapel, but it is not. Mr.. Skagcn's pur-
pose at all to narrow the work or train
ing to any one church. The institution
will aim to give the children a Chris
tian training, but it will be entirely
nom sectarian. The scope of the rei-
oil, ha n
sectarian, and ministers of all de-
nominations will be invited to hold SER
vices and instruct the children. In
fact. the scope and purpose of the
school will be a great deal after the
manner of the Georgia Industrial
Home, which was founded by DR.. Mum
ford at Macon.
While there will also be some pro-
vision for occupation for a limited
number of adults, it is aimed chiefly for
the benefit and Development Of children.
The inmates will not be limited to nor
IS it designed especially for orphan
children. The institution will be q
great boon for the needy children of the
city and it is meeting with proper en-
fragment. No board of trustees nor
other form of government has yet been
arranged for.
In connection with the institution
and to become a regular annual fea-
ture. Mr., Skagen proposes to arrange
summer outings for other poor children
of the city In fact, if any charitable
institution win provide for their sup
port, even before the present summer is
out. Mr. skagen will be in a position
t. take children in groups of 10 for out
ings lasting about one week each. Mr..
, Skogen will give a more complete and
comprehensive outline of his plans at a
later date.-Augusta Ga Chronicle.

ExrR4rtG4NT PRINTING.

This is an investigating time, and
the investigating is occasionally in the
right place. For instance. the extra
VACANT government printing office.
During the past ten years the annual
appropriations for printing have near
ly doubled. Since 1896 the appropria-
tons have been as follows: 1897, So
$4,000; 1898, $4.407,547; 1899 $4,4O7,54S;
1900, sl,S9S, 7s5; 1901, $5,276,6sS; 1902.
$5,S29,S57; 1903. s5,996,276; 1904, $7,O62,-
418; 1905, s6,OO5,645. OF course the
printing is all done with the authority
of congress. The money is spent in
printing reports and documents which
ought not to be printed at the public
expense. As an instance, the Wash
ington Star gives the reindeer liter
allure of Mr.. Sheldon Jackson. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Jackson has for many
years been making long reports to the
department o: the interior on the sub
JecL OF reindeer breeding, accompany
ing them with hundreds of photo
graphs of various scenes of interest in
Alaska, and these long reports and ac-
companying illustrations have been
published by the department of the
interior, until at the present time the
reindeer literature fills several feet of
shelf space in every library in which
those publications have been preserv-
ed 1t is claimed that these reports
have contained much of trivial ma
ture that does not warrant it's pre-
servation by the costly method of
printing.
And so :orth and so on. Probably
the government printing could be re-
duced one-half without harming any
body, or adding to the ignorance of
anybody.

WORTHY SOUTHERN ENTER
PRISE

The Rev Edward M skagen, rector
of Christ Church, West End, proposes
to establish and maintain an indus-
trial school for the poor children of the
city on q tract of land, 10 acres in size
and containing a mill, about seven
miles out on the Wrightsboro Road.
that has been donated for that purpose
by a prominent Christian gentleman of
the city improvements on the prop
erty will begin shortly and within a
years time the home is expected to be
in operation.
Mr.. Skagen was impressed with the
fact. when he came to Augusta a few
months since. that there was a lot of
unnecessary begging by certain class
of children in the city and also that
some parents had reached a condition
where it was impossible to properly
support their offspring. He immedi-
ately began laying a plan by which this
condition could be relieved and at the
same time train them to be useful up
right citizens. He believes he has
found a realization Of his idea through
the present property contribution
The place is a beautiful and valu-
able farm of 10 acres and contains a
former mill site. Judge Eve has gen.
erously promised the assistance of the
country convicts in the restoration of
the dam and the mill will be ready for

phetic foresight the obligations Of the
future: that the admiral whom he had
known in Washington as a elubman
would find the hostile fleet. and de-
stroy it, and that when this should be
done the fiage must be raised and the
victorious ships remain. On the next
day saww him again when the victory
had been wOns and Overjoyed as he was
and fun Of praise for the admiral, he
was sobered by a sense of American
responsibility for possessions which
could not be abandOned-a new burden
for civilization which could not be
dropped. Il would almost like to be-
iieve that Dewy vii SAIL he said, with
a sigh; and then shook his head deci-
slFely, for knew that America must
face the moral responsibility Of the
conquest Of the Spanish islands,
Here we have described a man whose
mind was as broad as his patriotism
was profound. He might for a moment
regret responsibilities. but never for a
moment would he think of Sinking
them. AS we all know. he supported
our new foreign policy made necessary
by the Spanish war with his best heart
and intelligence, and contributed
great deal to the Shaping of the i'm
portant measures that it imposed upon
the country.
And if Mr.. Hay and others at a dis
lance deserved credit for this attitude,
how full the measure of credit is due
to Admiral Dewey, who took it under
circumstances of so much difficulty
and confusion! Had he been only a
sailor, he would probably have called
away promptly after executing his com
missions. But, being something of a
statesman and diplomat as we'll, he
saw his new duty instantly, and in
stantly decided to perform it. And al
though the man who ran past the land
batteries and found and destroyed the
Spanish feet in the bay win always
figure as the hero of Manila for that
particular part of his performance, his
services in covering the city with his
guns and holding it until the American
army arrived to take possession, exer-
cising meanwhile courage and tact of
the highest order, deserve the utmost
praise.
The difference between Mr.! Hay and
the anti-imperalists was that what he
regretted for but a moment they con-
tlnued to regret. And they regret it
still. No canvass of matters has ever
changed their views about what Dewey
should have done. They ha1d now that
should have sailed away and left the
islands to their fate. And they would
nave US sail away today, leaving the
people to shift for themselves, and, if
fortunate should so decree, become the
prey of any ambitious power with eyes

THE WRONG MIR. SHAW.

Mr.. Bernard Shaw has been moved to
complain. 1t seems that the managers
of Covent Garden Theater refuse adj
mission to gentlemen unless they are
attired in conventional evening dress,
namely, a pfn-tail coat and an expan-
sive shirt front. While so adorned and
in the enjoyment of the music Mr..
Shaw says that a lady sat down in
front of him having very black hair
This lady, Mr.. Shaw said, had stuck
over her right ear the pitiable corpse
of a large white bird, which looked ex-
actly as if someone had killed it by
stamping on its breast and then nailed
it to the ladys temple" The spectacle
he says, siekened him and disqualified
him from enjoying the music. Mr..
Shaw argues that what is sauce for the
gander ought to be sauce for the goose.
He argues that because restrictions are
imposed upon the dress of the gander-
that is to say, himself-then restric-
tions should be placed on the dress of
the goose-that is, of the lady with the
dead bird. Because woman is admit
ted into the opera with dead bird on
her head he contends that he should be
permitted to wear a dead snake around
his neck, a collection of black beetles
pinned to his shirt front and grouse
in his hair.
Of course Mr.. Shaw is wrong. Wom-
en- know what they ought to wear and
he doesn't and cannot know.

GRIZZLIES FOR SUMMER DRESSES

1t is not possible to indict a nation or
n class upon the basis of one case. But
the disquieting feature of the Depew
affair is that one feels he was not a
strong and willfully ill-meaning man,
but weak and impressionable one,
and that If he had found support in q
strong and high-minded class he would
not have erred.
There never has been golden age.
There were weakness and evil in the
best days of the Republic. When men
were shedding their blood for ideals
there were other men who stayed at
home and profited by the sacrifice. Yet
there was among the leading class as
a whole. among men in public life,
among the industrial and financial
captains of the day. among those of
SOCIAL leadership. a sense Of duty to
themselves because of this leadership,
a sense of fine obligation to the COM
mrnity of which they were the head,

beginning to rub his eyes and wonder

places; whether there is only cynical

TACCTN4rTON IN ENGLAND.

The vaccinationists will be STIR
red by the conference of municipal au-
thorities held at the London Man
sion house the other day, to consider
the best means for the prevention of
epidemic smallpox by the enforcement
of vaccination. 1t is notorious that the
law on the subject is constantly evaded
or neglected in important English CEN
tiers of population, and often with dis
ustrous results. Sir William Broadbent,
the eminent physician, spoke Of the
needless suffering, interference with
trade, waste of public money, and in
crease of municipal expenditure caused
by an outbreak of smallpox. Statistics
proved that where there was vaccina-
ton and revaccination at given per-
iod, the disease became practically I'M
known. Unfortunately, the local au-
thcrities did not carry out the behests
of the Legislature. They hesitated to
interfere with the liberty of the subject,
but the liberty of the subject was in
terfcred with when the outbreak oc-
Cured. and there was no reason why
it should not be interfered with as
means of prevention. Some one like
Mr., Walter Long, who had stamped out
rabies, was needed. Sir William Church
quoted Germany as a striking instance
of the beneficial effects of compulsory
revaccination of children in their thir-
tenth year, Since 1903 the mortality
in that country from smallpox had
never been higher, he said, than one
per million of the inhabitants, and had
often fallen to a fraction of that fig
ure. In England it was at present as
high as ten per million. He was sure
the loathsome disease could be exter-
minated if the proper steps were taken.
The Duke of Northumberland declared
that the question of revaccination could
only be successfully dealt with through
the cooperation of the local authorities,
and it was imperative that the question
should be kept before the public and
the government. Resolutions We're

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The several accidents which occurred
during the last few days suggested to
me the feasibility of an ambulance
car, this car to be left in charge of
the Consolidated Railway company.
In case of an accident, or for the pur-
pose of conveying people in severe ill
ness to hospitals, etc, trolley car is
much preferable to a team for obvious
reasons. A fund could be created to
defray the expenses of buying and fit
ting up such a car properly, and no
doubt the Consolidated Railway COM
pany would gladly fix small charge
for such purposes.

At the French penal colony, Nou-

organized a band. The leader is no
torious murderer, and was once in the
orchestra OF the Paris Opera House.
The cymbal player killed a subpoena
server, and the drum player murdered
his landlord with hammer. The first
cornet is guilty Of murder, with rob-
berry as the motive. and one of the
clarinets. a tavern keeper, used to kill
his patrons for the same reason. The
assistant bandmaster was convicted of
having cut his wife to pieces. This
convict band gives daily concerts to
the inhabitants Of Noumea, who are
enthusiastic over the new organiza-
ton.
