IT'S HOUR OF NEED.
MaryIand's Great College for Women.

Contributed
Just as it is true that a prophet
often lacks honor in his own country,
so it frequently happens that we fail
to appreciate the advantages that lie
at our very door. To some extent
such seems TO be the case now in re-
gard to Goucher College, that institu-
tion which Baltimore claims, but to
which all Marylanders lave a right to
point with pride.
Founded in 1888 with an endow-
ment wholly out of proportion to its
lofty ambition, it has, in the face OF
serious financial hindrances, so sue
cessfully coped with its scholastic
problems, that now, according to
the classification made by the De-
partment of Education at Washing
ton, it is included among the FIVE
colleges south of Mason and Dixon's
Line, which alone are worthy of the
first rank. Moreover, il is the only
woman's college south and west OF
Philadelphia, in this rank.
This is, indeed, a great triumph fol
the struggling young college. Furth.
er, linked with its intellectual sue.
cesses, has come the inevitable result
of the constant presentation of higt
idesls-a band Of young women in
spived to lives Of active service fol
others, whose influence tends to raise
the educational and moral standard
in their community. Thus the worl
of this college is broad and far-reach
Jag
A time has come now when the debts
inevitably incurred in Goucher'i
noble and difficult career have growr
to be a greater burden than it cal
bear. 1t has never been willing tt
lower its standard; hencs its coudi
tion carries with it no disgrace. Nov
it presents its claims TO Maryland
not as an orphan who begs for char
ity, but as a child asking of his par
ents that help and interest that ar,
| his due.
Marylanders, do you appreciat,
what Goucher College means to you
State? Would you without a pang
without an effort, see il close it

Bitten by a Dog.

One of the young ladies Of the firm
of the Hollidayoke Company, miIli-
ners, Main street, opposite Conduit
street, met with an accident on We'd
nesdy. Entering the room Of occu-
pants Of the establishment above the
millinery parlors, the young lady was
pounced upon by the dog owned by
the family, the animal biting her
through her clothing and badly bruis-
ing her flesh, although his teeth did
not make an abrasion o! the skin.
Had it not been for the presence
of the housewife, the dog would prob
ably have torn the young lady to
pieces.
A few days ago a boy who deliy-
ers goods for the A. & r. Tea Com
pany store was very badly bitten by
a dog in a house in town where he
went to deliver goods. Owners Of
dogs, and strangers who come lin con-
tact with them, cannot be too care
ful.

BEAUTIFUL DOLLS.
On Display at CarveI Hall.

Z TwO beautiful dolls are on display
at Carvel Hall AMI are to be drawn
for" at 10 cents per ticket for the
fund to send Mrs Samuel Wilkinson
at the County Home to Home in
Baltimore city for aged women, wild
ows of physicians.
The dolls have been beautifully
dressed by the ladies at Carvel Hall.
One is a bride. The other has an
elaborate wardrobe of morning and
evening clothes, house dresses,
boudoir and neglige attire that would
make any of her doll sisters green
with envy. She has opera coats,
hats and all necessary equipment for
a stylish, up to-date society doll and
her admirers are not a few.
Indeed, some of the navy bellies,
could they see the admiring glances
cast upon this doll at Carvel Hall,
would feel twinge of jealousy, per-
haps Besides the money the dolls
will bring, the ladies at Carvel Hall
have interested a number of the
younger set in a fair and bazaar to he
give for the benefit of sending the
old lady to a suitable home.
The fair will be held on Saturday
afternoon two weeks hence. There
will be beautiful fancy articles for
sale, besides tea, cake and candy.

effort was made by the management
of the team to secure a game with
some College team, they have thus

ST. Johns is, however, negotiating
for a mid-week game next week.

Abandon American Plan or
Regular Meal Style for Patrons

Beginning with tomorrow, Feb
ruary 1.-the management of the Hotel
Maryland will inaugurate the Euro
pean plan of table service at the well
known hostelTy.
The American plan which has been
ia vogue in the dining rooms for
years is to be abandoned entirely, and
the la carte service of meal orders
will govern all service in the future,
the same as has been applicable since
the establishment of the Grill Room.
The change, it is understood, has
brought disappointment to many Of
the table boar6ers at thc hotel. A
number of them, it is said, are entire
ly partial to the American plan of
service. Just whysthe change is to
be made is not known.

OFFICERS COMING TO
TAKE SPECIAL COURSE
Post Graduate School at Naval
Academy to be Enlarged.
TWO NEW STUDENTS HERE.
Lieulenants Lowell and Newton Report
Today, and Others Are Expected
to Arrive Soon.

Lleuts. Robert I. S. Lowell and
John II. Newton. Jr.. are the first of
about fifteen younger officers of the
Navy designated 20 take the post
graduate course at the Naval Acad-
emy to arrive here. They reported to
the Office of superintendent Gibbons
today.
Beginning next week the post
graduate school system inaugurated
three years ago with the establiSh-
ment of a course in marine engineer
ing, is to be greatly enlarged in scope.
by the addition of classes in ordnance,
naval construction, electrical engi-
neering and physics and chemistry.
Although only about fifteen officers
have thus far been named to take
the courses, Altogether about fifty
officers are to be sent to the Naval
Academy, as the classes in each
branch will number about ten mem
bers.
The work of the postgraduate
schools will be Under the direction of
a council. of which the Superinten-
denC Of the Naval Academy is the
head the other members comprising
tho heads of the several departments
of instruction at the institution to-
gether with Civil Engineer Parsons.
assigned to the Bureau of Navigation
in Washington.
The establishment Of the post
graduate schools is an important
departure in the system OF training
naval officers IL will do away with
the custom Of sending a number Of
the younger commissioned officers
to the different technical schools of
the country in order to become more
proficient in a particular branch. thus
eliminating an expense to the gov
ernment incident thereto.
In other words, as several naval
officers have applied the term, the
Naval Academy now becomes virtual
ly a naval university, as every iota
of instruction and training that goes
to the making of competent naval
officers will be impaired here at the
Naval Academy.
