Public School Text Books.

Some complaint having been made in
some quarters of the action taken by
our County School Board and the COM
mittees. in respect to their selection of
text books, we deem it but simple JUS
tice to them to say, that, in our opinion,
their action is altogether defensible.
AS we understand the matter, no rad
ical change has been made, except in
the case of Arithmetics and Readers,
and this will involve no great addition
al expense. In fact, it is step which,
aiming at uniformly of text books, con-
templates economy in the end. And
then, too, it has been taken by competent
gentlemen, who were familiar with the
subject, and had better opportunities of
knowing what they were doing, than
many who criticise their action could
possibly have.
Among them were men, who, in 9TH
er relations, have shown thatthey could
have nothing else in view than the best
interests of the people. The question OF
economy, doubtless, received their earn
est consideration. With full knowl-
edge of the whole subject in all its bear
ings, they made their selection after a
thorough examination of all the Ii
censed books before them; and we: al
least, are willing to submit the matter
to their judgment.
In as much as uniformity of books in
the county and city is very desira bic
we understand the procurement of thu
books will be delayed for reasonable
time, SO that in case the City Board
when it acts, shall have different views
upon the subject, conference may b'
had between the two bodies.

Cold Water Treatment Of Yellow Fever.

At the Charity Hospital New Orleans
DR.. Samuel Chopin recently tried an
exceedingly interesting experiment.
which, if successful, will revolutionize
the treatment of yellow fever. and just
ly be regarded as one of the most i'm
portant medical discoveries of the age.
The patient was in a moribund condi-
ton, having been sick with yellow fever
twenty-four hours without attention, his
only medicine being Seidlitz powder.
The temperature of his body indicated
los SO degrees. His pulse beat 100 a
minute and he presented the appearance
of one who would die in q very few
minutes. The patient was stripped max
ed, placed upon one of DR.. Kidbes's
fever cots, which has network cover
and India rubber receptacle beneath,
and sprinkled with ice water from a
sprinkling can two hours and aquarter.
At the expiration of that time the tenn
perature Of the body was reduced to So
degrees and the pulse to 80.
When the sprinkling ceased the tenn
perature of the body returned to the
normal heat in health, the fever disap-
peared and the patient fell into a gentle
sleep, which still continues. At present
writing this first experiment in cold
water treatment is attracting widespread
attention among physicians, and should
the patient recover it is predicted that
sprinkling the patient was covered with
q sheet.
