Prof Corew on Geography. He said
that there is great tact in handling chill
dren and it is needed in Geography as
much as in any other branch of learning.
The Professor then referred particularly to
Physical Geography. He said we ought to
show our'pupils the effects of the winds,
the sunlight and heat upon the life of the
globe; how God fitted up this globe for the
habia,ion of man. He said he would not
confine pupils to any particular text book
but allow them to read the different truths
laid down by all. Have them locate the
garden spots of the world and then have
them explain why they are found at that
particular point. In this way you impress
upon them the effects of sunlight heat and
rainfall, and that wherever they are found
you will find fertile soil. There is great
advantage in having properly constructed
maps. Institute adjourned till o'clock

state Board of Health

The first annual report of the State
Board of Health calls attention to the
proceedings of the Board for the year
past. We find the report full of interest
ing and instructive facts. Although the
State of Maine is among the healthiest
States in the Union. there is plenty of room
for Improvement in the sanitary condition
of its people. There is sickness and sui.
ferihg that might be prevented by taking
proper steps to do so many of those steps
are pointed out in the report of the Board.
Sixteen years ago Massachusetts organ
lied the first State Board OF Health in
America; now nearly every State in the
Union has its Board, Maine being among
the last to establish one. Dr.. Frederic II.
Gerrish of Portland is president of the
Board. and DR.. A. G.. Young OF Fort
Fairfield, is permanent secretary. Work
has been conducted systematically and
thoroughly. and with much industry and
good results.
In the introductory pages are mentioned
as follows some of the causes of disease
found in our State:
1.-The water supply of our State when
uncontaminated by human agency is of
the purest and best. vet ignorance and
carelessness make the drinking water,
even in the uncrowded farming com
munities, a fruitful source of disease. The

air which moves over our hills and valleys
is as pure as can be found, yet, in our
homes, and schools and churches, it is a
heterogeneous mixture whose derivation
and vileness if appreciated would not
commend it to the fastidious. From our
soil. malarial exhalations and malarial
diseases never arise, yet serious. but
avoidable, causes~of disease very often
spring from the ground which our habita-
tons rest upon. With the world at large
we suffer from the contribution which we
are annually called upon to make to that
most cruel of all Minotaurs-the group
of zymotic diseases. We have sent this
tribute year after year with the spirit of
resignation BETTING a people OF less
general intelligence and with fewer news
papers. BY putting into practice some OF
the simplest and most easily learned OF
sanitary precepts in India, the death-rate
from cholera has been reduced to small
part of its former prevalence. Yet the

those dealing with disease in all forms
and in various localities through
