FICTION WRITER'S DIspLAcE EDS.
Says New Editor of Century Magazine
in the October Number.

An eminent novelist declared to us
years ago in his newspaper days his
belief that reporting was the noblest
work of man. In later years, when
he had added art to his reports of life
and was selling his novels by the hum
dreds of thousands, he confirmed the
statement of his enthusiastic youth.
Modern fiction is, literally, report of
life, colored by personality, and formed
by art. It's appeal is universal. Its
power is greater than any other engine
of civilization. 1t is to this period what
poetry, what preaching, what oratory
and what editorials have been to pre-
ceding periods. 1t is practically the only
effective means of approaching the minds
of millions of intelligent persons. 1t
influences to a greater or less degree
the imagining, the thinking and the liv-
ing of nearly all who are literate.
During the coming years the Century
will recognize this important function
of fiction, but in so doing it win not
the less regard fiction as an art. Rough
ly speaking, one-half of each number
will be devoted to serials and short stor-
les, and we shall in their selection work
toward an ideal. The problem of Sc
lection will be more complex than for
some other magazines, perhaps for Cen
tury readers are of many and varied
tastes. There must be fiction for all
kinds of cultivated readers, for the low
ers of artistry and subtlety and the fine
distinctions of human nature and for
those who revel in plot and climax.
There must be fiction for laughter-lov-
ing and fiction for those fro whom fic-
tion seriously interprets life But what
ever its kind it must all possess com
mon quality, and this, we realize, it will
take long to attain consistently.

SACcHETTI COMING.
Star of Boston, Philadelphia Chicago
and Metropolitan Opera Companies
in Grand Opera Festival.

NJ. JJmberto Sacchetti has been associ-
ated ever since its opening with the
Boston opera house, and is now one of
the favor:te tenors of the Boston Opera
company. He is primo tenore of the
grand opera festival at the opera house
on Monday, Oct. l3, and is sure to prove
a big attraction. For years he has been
leading tenor on all of the Alice Neil
sen tours; as early as 1906 he played
Tonic to her Maria in "Fglia del Regi-
mento." in the French opera house in
New Orleans.
Since then NJ. Sacchetti has held Che
position of primo tenore with the Met
ropolitan Opera company in New York,
the Philadelphia Chicago Opera company
and the Boston Opera company. He was
picked to originate the role of Dick
johnson in "The Girl of the Golden
West" role in which Caruso has since
become famous. And of Sacchetti it
can be said that he is the only tenor at
all comparable in tonal quality to Ca
russo, but while Saechetti's voice is finer
and lighter and his dramatic ability
greater, he is lacking in the great volume
for which Caruso is unexcelled.
NJ Saccheti's most famous parts are
the duke in "Rigoletto," Turidddu in
"Cavalleria Rusticana," the magnificent
tenor role in "I Pagliacci," and that of
Alfredo in ia Traviata." He also
sings the tenor role in III Trovatore,"
with rare art. and it happens that those
operas most loved by him were the ones
which have been picked for the grand
opera festival

dents Last Evening.

Far from the daily routine of school
life was the reception held in the chapel
at Spaulding last evening. This marked
the opening of school life to the entering
class better known as scrubs" in
school, the reception being given in their
honor, by the three upper classes. The
chapel was scarcely large enough for the
many who assembled, there being over
$50 of the lower class in attendance.
Last evening again demonstrated the
need of a large assembly hall for such
purposes.
The hall were tastefully decorated in
the class colors, and here and there were
cozy corners. At one end of the hall
punch and waters were served during
intermission by two young ladies. A
short program was given in addition to
the usual marches. The following is the
program as given: Selection, orchestra;

City Hospital 4 III in Need
of Larger, d Better
Quarters
PLANS FOR A
NEW STRUCTURE
--
Have Been Prepared on a
Scale to Meet Needs
of This Section

At the last annual meeting of the
Barre City hospital corporation, held in
December, it was voted the trustees pro-
cure plans for new and suitable build
ings. This they have done, though the
plans they have secured are tentative
and subject to modification. A sketch
of the proposed building is shown in
Moore & Ovens store windows and the
floor plans can be seen at this office by
anyone interested
These new buildings are urgently
needed, if the hospital is to expand and
grow in the good work it is doing for
the relief of the sick and the care OF the
injured, and especially is maternity
department needed, where mothers and
babies can be safely and economically
cared for
Since the opening of the Barre City
hospital in June, 1907, | l,l0l patients had
been treated up to July /. 1918, and in
the six months ending on that date l25.
In addition, considerable outside work
in the care OF patients has been done.
At times the hospital is more than
crowded, and to meet the demands upon

tion that new and adequate fireproof
buildings be erected, the estimated cost
of which is $4,000, and it is believed
that tie public recognizing the neces-
sity of these buildings, will not be slow
in making contributions toward the pro-
ject.
1t is not proposed to erect the COM
plete hospital at once, but begin with
one wing, or pavilion, that can be used
in connection with the present struc-
ture, thus taking care of the immedi-
ate needs OF the city and surrounding
territory.
In working out plans for this purpose,
the trustees have had in mind two i'm
portant features; First, to accommodate
the new structure to the present build
ing; second to include in the part which
it is proposed to erect first the most
essential needs at the present time. This
first pavilion it is proposed to have COM
plete in itself and so constructed as not
to look unsightly provided the other sec
tion is not built for years to come. This
section viii contain the operating room,
with the requisite other rooms, a small
room for minor accidents and surgical
dressing, wards and necessary utilities,
all on the first floor; on the second floor
maternity department, cut off from
the patients department, and private
rooms for patients; ON the roof open
wards with rooms for service, so that
patients can be kept oyt of doors when
necessary. This pavilion will accommo-
date 20 patients, and when erected will
stand where the barn of the present hos
pital buildings now stands. The estimat-
ed cost of this wing, with heating plant,
is $4,000. This wing will conspicuously
increase the effectiveness of the hos
pitals work, and it is on this ground the
makes its plea for support.
