The foregoing description of the
organ recital was prepared for the
News, at its request, by Capt. B. G.
Jarvis, whose innate i.odesty for
bade mention of his own artistic
playing, by many regarded MS one of
the finest organ performances of the
evening. To Capt Jarvis is due
largely the credit for the installation
of this fine organ in the church. 1t
was first suggested by him, and the
sentiment which eliminated in its
purchase was largely of his making
he made the measurments and az
tended to the work of colorings and
selection. In fact it is due to his
perseverance that this great aid to
worship is now a fixture in the
church. At the conclusion all who
took part in the recital were given a
banquet at James & Varnes' restau-
rant, during the progress of which
Capt. Jarvis was presented with Il
field glass as slight
token of the esteem in which he is
held by the choir and official mem
besr of the church.

NEW ENGLAND'S NEED OF THE
SOUTH.

The Charleston News and Courier
thinks leaders of education in the
south should organize a crusade of ed
ucation for the north. Tt thinks the
north needs it. A statement in a BOs-
ton newspaper, quoted by the Savan-
nah News, would indicate that The
News and Courier is about right. 1t
says that the wages Of about half the
kitchen girls in Massachusetts have
been raised fifty per cent. in the past
three years, while in that period not
one-tenth Of the school teachers have
gotten over ten per cent. more" This
shows that Massachusetts isn't paying
the attention to education that she
should; that she is allowing the ma
teriaI to OvershadoW the intellectual
welfare of her people; that mental de-
velOpment is not keeping pace with
culinary progress; that Massachusetts
is paying more attention to their
stomachs than to the brains Of her
people.
Our southern educators who so en-
Enthusiastically welcome the educational
crusaders from the north who make
their annual invasion Of the south for
the purpose of trying to educate and
c~ivilize our people should TAX note of
the trend of affairs in Massachusetts,
as given by that Boston paper, and
they should make some effort to avert
the threatened danger to New England
superiority in education and civiliza-
ton. SeIf-interest as well as graft
tude calls for such a course, for if
New England should fall below the
south's grade in education and civiliz-
alton, whence can our people get the
inspiration for better things or in
struction how to attain to them? They
should help keep New England above
us so she can assist US in climbing
higher. :

~ECHE GOOD MANS BURDEN

With the above heading for its ext
and the suicide of Dean Huffcutt as the
incident for the Illustration The Trib-
une, of New York, prcaches the follow
ing sermon on the evils of overtaxing
the mental powers Of the leading men
in the different callings of life: -
In the lamentable death of Dean
Huffcut q pathetic example is found
of the evil tendency of our times to
cast toe heavy a burden upon the few
high class citizens who do the rudy
cry of government. Dean Huffcut was
one of those men who combined high
talents and tremendous energy with
unWillingness to exploit their powers
for mere personal profit. Long a hard
working instructor in the Cornell law
school and for the last four years it's
dean, he displayed just that blend of
ability and unSeltiSh civic conscience
which qualified him for the honorable
slavery of public work. When the
labOrS of drawing up the public utili-
ties bill confronted Governor Hughes
and his friends, the unremittipg toll
Dean fiuffcut, the governors legal adj
wiser, devoted to the measure seems to
have OVertaXCd his strength. precipi-
tating q nervous collapse and suicide.
Many citizens are doubtless now
honoring the dead mans memOr be-
cause his work for good government
killed him. But might il not be we'll,
before he is forgotten in the hurry and
Clanor II politics., to ask whether more
time ought to he spent in making over
work impossible in the public service
than IN weeping over those whose
nerves have been wrecked for the COM
mon veal" Is it not 2 fault of our pO-
ItlC3I system That the m jGTitN of pitj-
Zens. either through ignorance or care
l~esSneSs or on principle. expect a small
number Of gifted. patriotic men to
carry on the hard work OF progressive
government? Nothing is more fami-
liar than the cry against the "machi-
merry of the administrations" and the
average man finds no trouble in PROV
ing to his own SatiSfac ion that there
are twice as man men on government
payrOllS as there ought to be. But.
though there are super1nous servants
here and there in routine positions. the
number Of men engaged in the con-
structive, progressive york of conser-
vative reform is almost always far too
small True, citizens leagues and sim
liar organizations. are tending some
what to overcome the difficulties of this
shortage by persuading men of ability
to tender their services unofficiaf1Y for
good government. But there still re-
mains much that only officials in
whom public trust and gOvrnment au-
thority are definitely repOsed can do.

WAR ON THE

The Baltimore authorities have start
ed a crusade against mosquitoes. A
new and stringent mosquito law has
been put into effect and it is being
rigidly enforced. Householders are
prohibited having any pools Or
vessels of stagnant water on their
premises and there will be frequent in
spectiOns of all premises to see that
this rule is enforced. Where perfect
drainage cannot be secured liberal use
of kerosene oil will De required. It
would be a good idea if our new city
administration would make a mosqui-
10 war one of its first moves. It should
start in right now and enforce a
rule against stagnanu water on prem
iseS and require all weeds and brushes
IN vacant lots to be u down and
there should be frequent inspections
during the summer tc see that ali
premises are kept free of breeding Il
harbOring places for the pests, and
whenever and wherever needed there
should be liberal use of kerosen oil.
If the city authorities will take this
matter in hand at one AND give it prop
er attention throughout the summer
the people will be given great Keller
from the annoyances Of mosquitoes.
