Disease Germs In Pencils.

the school children of Detroit, and
the charge is made by DR.. 4. s.
Farnun of that city that the dis
ease has been spread by interchang-
ing lead pencils. The Board ot
Education furnishes pencils for all
the scholars, and the latter are not
allowed to use any others. The
scholars get one pencil to-day and
another tomorrow, all the pencils
being dropped into the box at the
end of school each day. It is no
exaggeration to say that each child
using a lead pencil will put the lead
end into its mouth forty times q
day. and with the pencil going from
one child's mouth to another from
day to day it is easy to see that the
practice may become very danger
