They are restful to the mind, they de-

in some will inspire a love for art

has its own cottage, its. mess hall and

der the care and control of women
who act as matrons. In the literary
department only women are employ-

influence always exists. There are
no hang-dog expressions in the faces
of the boys at East Lake. The boys
have not the desire to escape that is
common to institutions of this char-
acter. We were connected with this
institution for nearly two years, and
only one boy ran away during that

IMPROVING PUBLIC INSTITU-
TIONS.
1 t
One of the troubles with o^r pub-
lic institutions in Texas is that Just
about the time that an officer gets
familiar enough with the duties of his
position he Is removed to mate way
for some political friend of the in-
coming administration, and the state
is constantly running a training
school for superintendents and oth-
er officials instead of for the benefit
of those sent to these places. The
Governors are not so much to blame
for this, but it is largely chargable
to the public sentiment that believes
* I -V
“to the victors belong the spoils.”
Conditions that exist at Gatesville.
In a measure are to be found at ev-
ery other state institution no doubt,
that is a certain degree of recognized
inefficiency in management. No one
realizes this vinore keenly than the
managers of the Institutions, most
of whom are doing the best they
know. Governor Colquitt's proposed , similar institutions in* other states ^

that the government wants ta save
