BO4RDTyG OFT THE INSANE.

The annual report of the State Charities Aid
Association, published to-day, contains a de-
tailed exposition of the plan for boarding out
the tractable insane which has received the
approval Of the State Commission in Lunacy
and may before long he experimentally adopt
ed in this State. This is a decided innovation,
having never been tried IN this country except
On a small scale in Massachusetts. The whole
tendency Of our legislation for the insane for
years has been in the other direction, and it is
highly desirable that this scheme should have
the fullest discussion. The system of family
caro- is well developed in Belgium, France,
Germany and Scotland, and exists in Russia,
Spain, Norway and Holland. In the village
or Gheel, Belgium, the insane have had fam
lily care for thousand years. The arrange
ment. originally made as a religious undertake
ing, Is now maintained under State supervision.
In another Belgian village Lierneux. sys-
TEN OF family care has been in operation for
twenty years. Women patients have been
boarded out among the peasants Of Dun-sur-
Auron, France, since 1892. and men in the adj
Jacent village Of Ainay since 1900 The Ger
mans have been placing patients in homes near
hospitals since 1888, and the Scotch have been
distributing their insane through the rural dis
uicts for more than forty years. In Belgium and
Scotland about 20 per cent of the entire insane
population is thus provided for and the Inter.
national Congress Of Alienists held at Antwerp
In 1902 after careful consideration declared
that family care should be applied in all its
forms TO the fullest extent"
A Scotch expert quoted in the report says
that in his country in forty-three years there
has been only one serious assault committed
by boarding out patient. Experience shows
that the patients prefer country life and are
improved by #. even when subsisting on q
dietary inferior TO thar Of the hospital The
natural life IN association with sane people OF
their own rank in life is much better than a
hospital for those whose disease is of the type
which makes IL safe for them to be at large
Boarding out IS economical, not so much in

is $3.50 per capita. AS the hospitals are crowd
ed such relief. making new buildings unnec
essary, would be Of great advantage The diff
ferent methods OF boarding out are thus char
acterized IN the report
First-The Berlin system. In which city hos

physicians This is valuable, not only for the
relief of the overcrowding which it affords, but
also for its excellence as a method OF testing the
suitability Of cOnvalescents for life outside the
hospital
Second-The Belgian system, in which both
acute and chronic cases are sent directly to
family homes in selected villages, without be1ng
previously committed TO a hospital
Third-The French system, in which quiet
chronic patients are transferred from hospitals
to family homes in selected villages
Fourth-The Scotch system. in which patients

I'm a II parts of the country. no considerable num-
Der being provided for in any one village.
The system proposed by the Lunacy Com
mission is similar TO that of Berlin Harmless
patients must be selected from the hospital, put
in approved families within fifty miles Of a
hospital kept there under prescribed conditions
of diet and care and frequently Inspected by
the authorities The State Charities Aid Asso-
citation. with large experience in placing out
children, believes there are many trustworthy
families who would take patients, and that
those who have been employed as nurses and
attendants in the hospitals would be especially
fitted and willing TO do this work.
With all these undoubted advantages in the
boarding out system, there are, we feel, some
serious questions Of its adaptability to this
country which must be considered. The class
of people who In Europe would take insane
people into their homes are likely TO look GOWN
on such an arrangement here, though they may
take dependent children. We have no such
body of staid, respectable well-to-do but hum
bic minded peasants. Our farmers of the
same moral fibre and especially their wives,
have different social standards
Then the question Of supervision and habits
Of obedience are to be considered. Our inspec-
ton in such cases is not generally as complete
as that of a European bureaucracy. Our peo-
pie do not stand SO in awe Of authority. Our
rural police system is inadequate, and the
chance lunatic breaking bounds might easily
do more harm here than in Europe The sue
cess of a boarding out system depends on
great perfection of administration, and we are
not certain that our habits in matters OF gov
eminent and obedience to law measure up 70
the requirements. Nevertheless, the project Is
one Of interest, and is well worthy of study
and perhaps of early trial.

RR. z1EGLER's ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.

Important as were the commercial interests
with which the late William Ziegler was identi.
fed, the public doubtless cared more about the
Arctic expeditions that were made possible
through his financial support 1t is on the latter
account chiefly that his death last week will
attract attention on both sides of the Atlantic.
Mr. Zieger was not a scientific man, and prob
ably was Indifferent to geographical research
as such; but he is said to have cherished strong
desire to see the Stars and Stripes displayed at
the North Pole, and in the last four five years
he spent a good deal Of money for the purpose
of realizing that ambition.
Evelyn 3. Baldwin was in charge of the first
party which went out under his auspices, and
which sailed in 1901, the year after the Duke
of the Abruzzi beat Nansen's record. The Franz
Josef Land route which the Italian had utilized,
seemed the most promising to Baldwin, who
accordingly adopted 1t, and whose judgment
dictated many other features of the American
programme After reaching his winter base
the leader of the first Ziegler expedition did
some admirable preliminary work Owing to
a misunderstanding with his hacker Baldwins
connection with the enterprise severed
early in 1902; yet it seems only fair to say that
any success which may have attended the ef-
forts of those who followed in his footsteps must
be in some measure attributed to the planning
of Mr. Ziegler's original cOadjutOr.
Anthony Fiaa, who placed IN command
in 1903, and who accompanied the exploring ship
America on her second voyage northward from
the coast Of Norway, had previously served
under Baldwin in the capacity of photographer.
II his fitness for his responsibilities had not
been fully demonstrated, he had at least some
little familiarity with the topography of the
archipelago which constituted a way station be-
tween the shores of Europe and the objective
point of the expedition. Two attempts to open
communication with him were made last sum-
mer by Mr. Champ, Mr.. Ziegler's private secre-
tary in the Frithjof. Neither succeeded, the
unusual extent of the ice pack preventing close
approach to the southern coast OF Franz Josef
Land \ lack of definite tidngs has naturally
excited uneasiness in regard to Mr.. Flala's fate
and that of his associates; but there is much
reason 10 believe that they have at least escaped
starvation. The America carried large quaint
ties of food when she sailed the last time and
Baldwin had previously established consider
able deposit on Rudolf Land not more than one
hundred and fifty miles from his winter base
Fiala may not have found the Pole either by
sledging or walking over the ice but he is prob
ably still alive.

Our highest record in exports to Porto Rico
was made I'm 1902 when the total reached Sl2,-
1o5 297 Since then trade with the island has
been practically stationary. But Porto Ricos
increase has been continuous, its total rising
from 50 6341 in 1902 to S10,152,923 in 1913
and S12,963, 4S3 in 1904.
This expansion seems bound to continue. our
chief Porto Rican import now is sugar, sales
of sugar amounting in 1904 to 50, 49l, I57-three-
quarters Of the total trade. Cigars and leaf
tobacco were sent here to a total value OF about
So. 100000. Fruit imported was valued at $685.
COO and coffee at 1922 900. There seems to be
no doubt, however that Porto Rico will soon
be able to find a market in the United States
for q large share of its coffee product. The In
sular government has arranged to establish a
coffee agency in this city, and II the Porto Rican
berry, which is said to have an excellent flavor,
can get foothold, II is likely to hold its own
against the many cheaper tasteless and aroma
less brands with which the American market
Is flooded. If a revenue tax should be put on
coffee, the Porto Rican berry would, of course,
obtain a favored status, and the increase in Its
sale and production would be notable. But,
apart from this contingency, the islands mar
ket here for sugar fruits and other products is
firmly assured The only West Indian producer
having absolutely free access to our ports, Porto
Rico must continue to develop-and develop
rapidly-thanks to the generous policy which
Congress has followed in regulating its COM

Champ sailed from New-York for Norway near
" month ago, it will hardly be practicable for
the Terra Nova to perform her mission before
midsummer. Two or three weeks may elapse
before she leaves Tromsoe the port at which
she will receive her coal and last mail, and
nearly as much more time may be required for
her northward voyage. Cape Flora, for which
she will steer, is only about twelve hundred or
thirteen hundred miles away, but as she ap-
proaches it her progress Will be hindered by ice.
This will soften as the season advances Hence
there would seem to be a better chance OF effect
ing landing in July or August than IN June.
All uncertainty about Fiala's condition and
achievements, however will doubtless be dis
PEELED in the next three or four months.

PORTO RLo0,S PROSPERITY.

The infrequency with which Porto Rico fig
ures in newspaper headlines nowadays Is the
best evidence of the solid prosperity and grow
ing contentment of our West Indian depend
ency. Only a few years ago the American
press was full of gloomy pictures of the ISL
and's industrial condition and gloomier prophe-
cies of the future. Now the skeptc and the
pessimist find their occupation gone. The de-
velopment of the islands trade has been steady,
and the old restlessness and discomfort have
given way to feeling of confidence and sat
isfaction.
A bulletin just issued by the Bureau Of Sta
tistics of the Department of Commerce and
Labor exhibits in a striking light the islands
commercial progress. It is less than seven
years since Porto Rico became n possession OF
the United States and only four years since
it's products have been admitted free at our
ports. But in the seven years from 1898 to 1905
Porto Rico's trade with the United States has
grown from total Of $3.50, 170 to a total of

and the amount of duplicate orders for spring
shoes proved somewhat Of surprise to the fac

the iron and steel industry there is moro or less
irregularity, although in heavy steel the orders
are beyond the capacity of mills.
