To Prevent Contagious Diseases.

The state board of health has prepared, !,
and the superintendent Of public instruc-
tion is now distributing to teachers in
stitutes throughout the state. a four page
leaflet supplying data and statements
which will enable teachers to comply
with the new law which requires that
there shall be taught in every
year in every public school 10
Michigan the principal modes by which
each Of the dangerous communicable
diseases is spread. and the best method
for the restriction and prevention Of
each such disease" Every teacher is
requested to give oral and blacko board
instruction, using the data and state
ments supplied by the state board of
health. 1t seems almost Incredible
that the information required by the new
law relative to all the most dangerous
communicable diseases can all be con-
veyed by four octave pages, but such is
the fact. and the leaflet will be found
interesting and valuable to other people
besides teachers in pubic schools A
copy can be had by addressing the office
Of the state bsard of health or the Office

tion at Lansing.

We have called Mr.. Vedder modern The fact
needs emphasis because nothing could be easier
than an ascripton OF his fantasies and aegori-
cal designs to the spirit OF romantic era long

own again. II Mr. Vedder's art were to be
summed up in a single dictum II might be said
superfclally that it reflected a reaction against
the prosaic themes ~ contemporary art. and was
based on the cultivation Of a medieval strain of
Imagination. Such judgment would be plausi-
BILE but wrong Strictly speaking. Mr.. Vedder is
one OF the most modern artists OF his time We
do not attempt TO reach that conclusion through
any analysis Of the accidents Of his career. Born
in this state in 1896 and receiving his first in

THE QUEENS SPEECH.

The Queens speech to parliament
never amounts to much. This year it
vas even tanner and more wishy-washy
than usual.
The good old lady refers in per.
functory way to the Chinese war and
the Armenian horrors, and is glad the
one is over and hopes the others will
not be renewed. But she thinks it il
expedient to put off to some future time
any talk about legislation.
The most significant part OF the
speech perhaps is its entire SILENCE
about Ireland and Irish measures. She
II very well pleased to get her beloved
Tories around her again, and perhaps
thinks the troublesome Irish are now
disposed Of.
But the Irish ghost is not 80 easily
hid, and 30 the triumphant Lories and
Che insolent lords and the amioable
Queen may speedily discover.
