BILE number OF books that would be re-
quired in their respective schools, were
able to make so accurate an estimate OF

have had to be sent for, while there is no

nah News says that Secretary Morton
has caught up with the efforts of two

that If the Japanese soldiers will fight

see why Japan should be accounted

A BEE DEED.

A few days ago. says the Jackson.
vile Times Union we announced the
fact that three little boys had been bit.
ten by a mad dog and that there was
no hope for their lives unless they
{ we're sent to the Pasteur Institute in
New York. It was further stated that
their parents were not able TO eecure
the funds for their transportation and
their treatment.
The story was flashed over the wires,
ano before the people of Jacksonville
mad time TO act, the message came back
to Times Union Office from the New
YORK Recorder: "We will pay all ex.
pensea, including transportation, Of
bringing the children to New York for
treatment and will furnish transporta-
tion for an attendant"
Such generosity as our contemporary
remark should not be passed by in
silence. The New York Recorder has
done q noble deed, and the spirit that
prompted it is appreciated far beyond
inc money outlay 1t involved.
