We are especially fortuna it having such a capable and e. perienced man as Dr. Powell at it head of our sanitarium. The appri hension is that, when he dies we cal not fill his place for we cainot find man who has both his iability and It long experience. The same can t said of Professor Contior, in char of the school for the deal. These tw are veterans in the service and hav by their long and faitihfu, work allaye all public auxiety about those institt ,ions. But why should so many mnoi (hilkren be born dear and dumb tia, formerly, and why should s(o man more people become insane?

As to the sanitariun. there Seis to be it) Ii ii, i dim ihlit; tlio of the rapid in'rease andt as fas as more room is provided more sto i walited. Dr. Powell rIeports that on Octobe 1, 1900, there were 1,700 whites ai 712 colorcd on hand, and the new ai plications now average about -'x pe day. Of course 'i.any die and it is coni.ort to know that ianv recove their reason and are dischargcl. Tw hiured and lifty-ine whites ani ninety-f'our negroes were dlischiarge last. year. One hundred and lifty-st Whites and 18( t negioes died. Tlb doctor gives pleasant in( easy eniploi ien to alw who can and are williig i work. Ife is a philosopher of m own kind for he says lie huts foun that woir k, manual labor, is more cor ducive to restoration and contentiei than any other medicine.

Good gracious, wall an induistrious -emale family tli doctor has got. In this way he ha great Ily reduced the cost of main teniance and brought down the pe capita to t 17. But on the other hand lie has to be continally repairing repjlaei .ig somnot hing, for lie says '' im sanity means destruction and that thm I teey of a large n umber of patientI is to destroy furnitture, cirockery, bet <ting, clo tin, lights, sash andi~ somt tmes tearing their rooms to pieces.
