Since those pioneer days the move

through enlisting the cooperation

It has only been in recent years
that infantile paralysis, haa been
encountered In epidemic form. The
first known epidemic outbreak was
that- In Norway; and Sweden in
1905 and '1908.- The following
year found New!, York with 3000
cases. Again in 1916, New York
lay helpless in Its grasp; and one
month ot that awful year it re
ported 4000 cases. ;
In the tour : years following the
first .epidemic in New York, the
disease was prevalent atone time

which goes Into effect November

secutive days the world over un
der the name of Education Weei.
The week is covered by seven
aims which are to be emphasized
by appropriate attention bchi.
drawn to. them by the school and
the eomnruntty. . . . The aims are:
sound hea!th;worthy home rr.e'n

wise; use of leisure; and
ethical chaTacter ;
Premier Stanley Baldwin in h'-
address before fhe conference of
fthe World Education Associctiou
emphasized why education should
be pressed to, its , very broadtst
limits. Quoting from the Ameri
can Educational Digest we flr.tl
this given as the gist of his speech
education Is as necessary as the
light -It should be as. common as
water and as free as air. Ednca?!
Hon among the people is the best
security of good government and
constitutional liberty; it yields a
steady, unbending support to the
former, and effectually protects
the later. An educated people are
always a loyal people to good gov
ernment; and the first object of a.
wise government should be the
education of the people. Partial
knowledge Is better than total ig
norance, and he who canot get all
he may wish must take heed to ac
quire all he can. If total Ignor
ance be a bad- and dangeron
thing, every degree of knowledge
lessens the ; evir and the danger.
Peace and progress depend on
education a world educational
week Is to stress this value of edu
cation as ".expressed so forcefully
by the Premier. .

offered by ,the American Lr-loa '

Ideals and purposes Let us not
forget that the purposes of Ameri
can Education week Is to acquaint
the public with the actual work of
the schools, with- their Ideals,
their achievements and their
needs. .This purpose should be
held In mind in the preparation of
every . program In every school.
Let the aim be to have erery parv

once during"- this week. 'Many
school may find R necessary to
substitute evening sessions for
afternoon sessions on certain days,
so that parents employed during
the day may see their children at
work In school. For some time
