The Penalty OF Ignorance I'm Turkey.

The practice OF medicine in Turkey was
formerly subjected to conditions of re-

western hemisphere might considerably
decrease the number OF medical practi-

When the ignorance OF n physician
caused the death of n patient, he was con-
demned 10 bear at the neck two boards in
the shape OF collar with bells around.
Thus attred he was marched through the
principal streets, the bells proclaiming
his ignorance and warning the people
against him. AS persons death is gener
ally due to ignorance in prolonging life,
it must have required large degree Of

How sunday school. Were Founded.

Sunday schools are probably as old "a
Christianity. For Eusebius says that the
Apostle John regularly taug ht the Scrip
lures and the doctrine OF the church to
young men and children on the Sabbath
Day. 1t is quite likely that, TO a limited
extent at least, Sunday instruction ofthe
children and youth was kept up through
the Middle Ages; but the greatest inn
pulse given the Sunday school was by the
famous Cardinal Borromeo, who, in Milan
in 1880, organized system Of Sunday in
struction and put numerous schools into
operation. About the middle OF the next
century Rev. Joseph Alleine established
Sunday schools In England, and between
the years 1860 and 1863 scores OF Sunday
schools were established in various parts
OF England and Scotland by Rev. David
Blair and Rev. Theophilus Lindsey.
Robert Raikes, OF Gloucester, has usually
enjoyed the credit OF being the founder OF
Sunday schools, but IL Is a credit TO which
he is not entitled, for his schools were not
established in Gloucester until the year
