AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

The Houston Chronicle of recent
date contained an editorial reference
to our state custodial and educational
institutions that is both timely and
important. 1t was, in brief, a plea
for unusual care upon the part of our
next governor that only such changes
shall be made as will clearly inure
to the benefit of the unfortunate ben
eficiaries of those institutions. Judge
y. A. Cravens, superintendent OF the
Deaf School, is used as an example of
uprightness and efficiency. whose con-
tinuance in his present position the
Chronicle believes would be a distinct
blessing to the deaf people of the
state, and whose removal would be
hazardous because SO few men are
fitted for such positions, and inevi-
tably detrimental to some extent, as
all changes in such positions are until
the new man shall have become IA
miliar with the duties of his position.
and those concerned come to under
stand the policy and methods of the
new officer.
Judge Cravens has many friends
and some relatives in Palestine who
would be very glad to see him reap
pointed. But entirely apart from this
personal phase. there is an important
principle which needs consideration
at the hands of our new administra-
ton and legislature The people of
this state have given large sums of
money and much attention to our
public educational system, which in
cludes. of course, the schools for the
deaf and blind, and these institutions
have reached a very creditable de
gree of proficiency. There is but one
obstacle in the way of the continual
ton Of the successful development of
these important state institutions.
and that obstacle is the fact that they
are in politics and therefore subject to
frequent changes as the state admin
istration changes. No other institu-
ton of like character is expected to
succeed unless they shall have a cap
able executive head, whose retention
depends upon the degree of efficiency |
attained by the institutions, furnish
ing both incentive and opportunity for
the most unselfish effort to become
fully equipped for all of the duties.
The best illustration of this truth /
is in the case of the insane asylums,
chiefly because the facts to
support it can be verified in every
in the state which hap
pens to be blessed by the presence of
a capable and conscientious physi-
clan. The ordinary practitioner of
medicine knows little or nothing about
the treatment of the insane, and they
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1906-10-12

do not claim to know. The writer
heard a most eminent practitioner, in
public address. say that a regular
graduate in medicine needed from
four to six years Of special study to
prepare him for the intelligent treat
ment Of the insane. Now, with these
acknowledged facts, let us look at the
policy pursued by our own and SO
many of the other states of the
union: 4 new governor is elected.
the spuils policy is insisted upon, and
every superintendent of an insane
asylum or other institution gives way
for new man. The man retiring
knew that this would most likely oc-
cur. so he has kept up on general
practice and has not given himself
exclusively to the mastery of the class
of diseases he was temporarily treat
ing. To specialize under the circum-
stances would be wholly without
promise of usefulness or hope of re-
ward for the simple reason that the
asylums have nearly all the insane.
But. while unable to give himself
wholly to this branch of practice he
has. nevertheless, acquired much
knowledge that could be proftably
given to these unfortunate wards of
the state. and just at the period of
most usefulness he must give away
to a new man and the process is re-
peated. This course. endlessly re-
peated, illustrates in large measure
the very purpose for which the insti-
tuition is maintained
Happily. the remedy is as easy as
the need is obvious. In one state. at
least. the blind school is governed by
twelve commissioners. who serve
without salary and who are appoint
ed in blocks of four every two
years. so that there are always eight
old men on the board. and the board
of commissioners have absolute au-
thority over every phase of the man
agement. This institution has had
but one superintendent in its history.
If, as has been suggested. there are
constitutional Difficult
ties, then change the constitution. !
The great people of Texas will very
quickly decide between the interests
Of one man, who can make a living |
out of office. and the unfortunate in
mates of our asylums and schools |
who are wholly dependent upon these |
for health, mind and ca
pacity for usefulness and happiness.
The writer has great confidence in
the broad, generous sympathies and
good common sense of the next gov
ernor, and we are hoping for more
than one valuable reform at his
hands, And that he will be sup
ported in all such matters by his peo-
de goes without saying. Observer.

Palestine has a real gas plant-one
that makes gas to burn-not the ex-
plosive kind. Palestine is a good
town-the metropolis of East Texas
and this paper for one would like for
the Holy City to entertain East Texas
with a street fair and carnival this
fall. All of our exchanges that are
in favor of this will please hold up
their hands.-Grapeland Messenger.
Palestine will not likely give car
nival this fall, but if the Messenger
man will come over most any day in
the week we will show him the
busiest town in Texas to population.
Fact is, the cotton crop is panning out
so much better than was expected, to-
gether with the good prices for the
staple, that our people are all feeling
prosperous. Besides, we will have a
circus here next Wednesday, and Sen
ator Bailey next Saturday week, so
we really do not need a carnival to
make things go. They are already
going some.
