the fltli grade remlurer a hcautiful
chorus, ucconipamccl by Jliss French,
director of music in the schools. Miss1
French linn done excellent work in
the schools. Patrons are glnd sho will
be retained in schools another year.
Tho circle has accomplished many
splendid improvements tor the school
during this present school year, un
der tho splendid supervision of their
president, Mrs. John J'erl. A part
of the play grounds have had frriinitu
put on, all of tho grounds have been
gruded, many trees, shrubs and flow
ers planted, and a number of new
swings added. Dr. Lockwoord spoke
on tho subject of "Communicable
Diseases," especially of the more
prevalent ones to which children arc
subject. It has been a common sup
position that these children's dis
eases lire something the child must
have, like cutting their teeth, and
mothers are often careless about al
lowing tho child to bo needlessly ex
posed. This is a criminal offense, as
theso diseases often lead lo compli
cations much more serious. The doc
tor gave statistics covering a period
of eleven years, taken from the board
of health of New York city, showing
tho danger to the young chilrdren
from the measles. Out of (1,000 deaths
J, 830 died nt one year of age, 2,707
at tho ago of 2, 1,6'I7 at 3, 5-11 at 4,
200 at 5 years, and from 5 to 10, .'108
and from 10 to J5 only 70 deaths.
Measles nro not carried in tho cloth
ing, and contagion lakes place early
in tho disenso. An epidemic can be
avoided if parents are careful to
watch tho isymptoms of a child's
illness and keep them home from
school or public gatherings. Mayor
Gates called during the program and
gave a timely talk on the essentials
of tho advancement of the schools,
Mr. Gates told of the progressive
management of the schools of his for
mer homo town. Mr. Gates deplored
the fact that the present school
bonrd has deemed it necessary to
practice economy by reducing sal
aries and eliminating some of the
special departments from Hie schools
for tho coming year, especially that
of physical training, for it is im
portant that n child should be phy
sically developed as well as mentally
and a healthy body gives the chilli
a belter chance for mental develop
ment. Mr. Gates said the schools
should receive the most care and at
tention of the citizens and there
should be no uibbliug over a lew
extra mills in the way of Assess-'
ments where the child's welfare was
at stako. If you pay teachers a low
salary you are going to gel an in
ferior grade of teachers. The de
mands are such upon the teacher
that they should have a fair living
salary. Von are expecting a college
education, tidy upeurnnco and a live-np-to-dato
teacher upon a salary less
than a common laborer of no special
education or preparation receives for
his work. The schools are the na
tion's greatest need and its girls ami
boys its greatest assests. Mayor
Gates said if need ho to retain phy
sical training in tho schools he will
bo oao of 20 to givo $."0 for the spe
cial teacher's salary.- Supt. Ilillis
gave a chart talk on the efficiency
of the schools, which showed a
marked advance ouch month made by
the grade pupils in the fundamental
studies in which tc-ts ulul licen given.
The program was into' est in - nod one
that was worthy of a imi,:i larger
attendance. The next irecih,.; in

Wised Out Disloyalty.
Registering his approval of con
scription, Senator Williams of Miss
issippi said he favored it for one rea
son, because it will "weed out loyal
and disloyal Americans."
"There are a million traitors in
America, including a considerable
number of German spies," he said. "I
want to weed out this element. If
they resist the draft they will be in
terned. This conscription will sepa
rate the loyal and disloyal Ameri
cans." Also, Senator Williums.snid, he ap
proves conscription in the hope that,
with defeat of Germany, it will be
possible to end universal military
conscription forever throughout the
world.

Moreover, if the war lasts, as well

the army, lo see it through, must be

essential, both from the standpoint
of fighting, this war through to n

should immediately inaugurate this
principle and set about raising a great
