Whether it be founded on fact or not,
IN accusation brought by certain men,
bers of the medical faculty in Paris
against the guild of hairdressers conveys
a caution which ought not to be under
valued. The ease with which rinGworm
aud other contagious disorders may be
communicated by means of soap, ralofs
and other kindred appliances is generally
understood. That such contagion has
not uncommonly been conveyed III TINS
way is almost ~indisputabie. 1t does not
follow, of course, chat the operators be-
longing TO the Partisan corporation have
been special offenders in this respect, and
we do not doubt that in France, as in
England, the precautions observed by
most respectable hairdressers are
sufficient for the protection OF the punllc,
Still, the fact that there exists a form of
disease truly described as regards its
mode of transference by the name OF
''harbers' itch' proves that due care n
cleanliness are sometimes wanting. Yet
the accidents occasloned by such neglect
are easily preYentable. An excellent rule
with some BARRIERS is to attend any CON
tagious cases at their w homes, q dis
tinct set of instrument being used for
these visits. This implies of necessity
some acquaintance with the character OF
parasitic disease, The substitution for
soap of saponaeeous cream, u separate
porVioH VI Which cdH pc dpPlleu II uliAoa
erent cases, affords another safeguard.
After all, however, it must be renlem-
bered, even in the cheap shop with over
flowing custom, that the fundamental
guarantee of safety consists in cleansing
each instrument used after each time of
use. Whatever the verdict of public
opinion on the practice of the coiffeurs in
Paris, there cannot be two opinions as to
the essential value OF the precautions in
dictated by Il professional brethren in
that city.-1he Ld1teet.

Principal Smiths Case.

This is a remarkable story about
School Principal Smith, of Gutenberg
-or rather a remarkable series Of
stories, and if even a small fraction of
the charges made are true, it is evil
dent that Mr.. Smith is not a proper
person to shave charge of children.
Aside from any question of personal
abuse Of the pupils, there is another
consideration which. is serious
enough to demand some action
on the part of the trustees
of the school. Taking the testimony
of Charley Evans and others for the
least that it can possibly be worth,
and there will still be little doubt that
Principal Smith is SO erratic in his
conduct, so violent in his outbursts
of passion, and so injudicious in his
ways of showing it that his example
is far from beneficial to his pupils.
Among the lessons which boys and
girls should learn at school none
is more important than the les
son Of self control; and the
teacher must inculcate this valuable
principle by example more than by
precept. The modern training of
teachers accomplishes no result which
is more to be commended than the
scientifically methodical and even
handed dealing with children.
To return to the old fashioned
birch with which the pedagogue
used to work off his ill humor on one
of his dyspeptic mornings, prospect
i've of the conduct of his pupils, is to
return to barbarism; and that bar
barism exists not so much in the birch
as in the spasinodic and i'll considered
use of it.
W. are not disposed to believe that
Principal Smith is a cruel or ma
licious man, but we are forced to the
conclusion that he has strong claims
to be considered just what some
of his pupils call him; i. e..
cranky" School teaching is
an occupation which is extremely
trying to the nerves, and Mr.. Smith
has been engaged in it for several
years. Perhaps he has done much
good in his day; but on the other
hand, perhaps the time has come
when he should lay down the lesson
book, and the ferrule-and especially
the latter.
