other work of men for men is intelli- 
genee, discrimination and _ tact 
needed than in the honorable assis- 
tance of the unfortunate. In intelli- 
gent supervision of the relief of 
sufferers from the white plague the 
legislature of 1911 made marked 
progress. It is unfortunately true 
that there exists in our modern days 
a desperate and contemptible brig- 
andage which will profit at the ex- 
pense of an already unfortunate vic- 
tim of misfortune. There exist to- 
day institutions conducted by un- 
scrupulous men ostensibly to afford 
a retreat for sufferers from tubercu- 
losis, but primarily to fatten the 
purses of the ‘‘doctors’’ who are a 
dishonor to the profession. Many 
of the towns and municipalities are 
unable to build and maintain local 
refuges for tuberculosis patients and 
where they do exist many prefer not 
to avail themselves of the care and 
skilled instruction given. 
In order to stimulate local interest 
in the care of these citizens the 
State has increased the State Tax 
$375,000 in order to assist the local 
cities or town. By the new arrange- 
ment each city or town which es- 
tablishes and maintains a_ hospital 
for the care of sufferers from tuber- 
eulosis will be able to obtain in re- 
payment from the commonwealth a 
subsidy of five dollars a week. A 
eareful check is provided that the 
patient really suffers from tubercu- 
losis. 
This is a civic movement in 
the direction of true socialism for 
the care and interests of all are one. 
No one can honorably subscribe to 
the rabid socialistic programs which 
are now put before the public, but 
everyone rejoices in the social move- 
ments to alleviate the ills and hard- 
ships of any class in its citizenship. 
The New Germanic Museum 
Every Harvard graduate and ey- 
ery resident of Greater Boston has 
been interested in the Germanic Mu- 
seum at Harvard University. Orig- 
inally made possible by the gift of 
a quarter of a million dollars by 
Adolphus Busch of St. Louis, the 
construction of a new building is 
now to become a possibility. The 
Museum has since its establishment 
been one of the interesting and in- 
structive visiting places for the visi- 
tor and a place of study of German 
art for students and professional en- 
quirers. The new -building will dis- 
place the old forbidding structure, 
opposite a beautiful Memorial Hall 
on the triangle of land bounded by 
Kirkland street, Divinity avenue 
and Frisbie place. The building it- 
self will be the work of Professor 
._Breeze 
Francke Bestlemeyer of Dresden. 
Already an architect’s model has 
been forwarded to America and is in 
the possession of Professor Kuno 
Francke at Harvard. Every such 
enterprise enriches the educational 
equipment of the great university 
and Harvard’s gain is New Eng- 
land’s. Some delay is being caused 
because of the unavailability of the 
site. It is hoped that the technical 
matters involved may be speedily 
settled and the work begun on the 
Germanic Museum. 
Rev. Albert Gardner Warner 
The Manchester Baptist Church 
has called to the pastorate Rev. 
Albert Gardner Warner, who will 
begin his ministry in our town on 
November Ist. It is of importance 
to the whole town who mans the pul- 
pits of its churches. The coming 
of Mr. Warner will be a_ distinct 
gain and a valuable accession to our 
community. With the _ talented 
preacher Rev. Mr. Ruge manning 
the Congregational pulpit and the 
earnest Mr. Warner in the Baptist 
pulpit the religious work here will 
be under the direction of two ecare- 
ful, conservative, yet progressive, 
conscientious men. Mr. Warner 
comes in the prime of life from his 
successful labors in other places. 
He is a graduate of Worcester 
Academy and of Colby College. Af- 
ter four years of faithful and _ re- 
warded study he was awarded the 
degree of Bachelor of Arts with 
highest honors. His Divinity Course 
was taken at the Newton Theological 
Institution in Newton Centre. The 
congratulates the local 
Church for its good fortune and ex- 
tends a cordial welcome to Rev. Mr. 
Warner. 
At the end of the primary elee- 
tions Governor Foss is reported as 
saying: ‘‘I went to bed when I 
heard Frothingham had won _ his 
nomination. I am not interested to 
make any comments.’’ If the re- 
mark were made it is unworthy of 
the Governor of Massachusetts. 
Even prize fighters shake hands on 
entering the ring. 
The United States Navy for 1912 
is to cost in round numbers 
$129,000,000. The cost of our school 
system compares very unfavorably. 
Is our motto a dollar for defense 
and a penny for education? 
The Turk has no great standing 
among the nations but Italy may 
well look to her laurels if she ruth- 
lessly makes war. The days of 
peace are at hand. 
The Baptists are going to build a 
memorial temple to the Pilgrims at 
Plymouth. The United States Gov- 
ernment laid envying eyes on their 
property for a new postoffice and 
have paid them twenty-two thou- 
sand dollars. This is to be invested 
and the income used to care for the 
new memorial. The new fund is still 
to be raised. 
The $100 deposited by Dr. Fisher 
to the city of Beverly for the relief 
of the poor of Beverly after 100 
years had elapsed, amounting now 
to $16,347.33, indicates the stability 
of the saving imstitutions of Beverly 
and vicinity and the remarkable in- 
creases resulting from constantly 
increasing interest. 
It takes only 16 minutes by an 
official test by a New York news- 
paper to send a message around the 
world. It is a rare man and a rare 
day for him in which 16 minutes are 
not wasted. Never before has the 
value of time been more clearly 
shown. 
The new administration at the 
new hospital in Beverly has begun a 
new building for the nurses. This 
is a valuable and humane effort. 
The tragic service of nursing de- 
mands rest when the day’s work or 
night is done. 
A mushroom college offered the 
editor a degree of Doctor of Philos- 
ophy for the sum of forty-five dol- 
lars. Such mstitutions ought to be 
suppressed by law. 
The test of the Primaries cannot 
be made in any one year. It is in- 
teresting, however, to notice which 
party wishes the party designation 
requirement removed. 
Robert Stuart MacArthur after a 
public hfe of forty-one years is en- 
titled to the degree of Master of 
Assemblies.
