important to Teachers.

One of the principals in the city
schools called the attention OF a
Wilkes Barre Leazer reporter re-
Getty to the grave mistake made by
physicians in issuing certificates to
children recovering from contagious
diseases, or coming from homes
where such diseases have been, for
-admittance to the schools. The
principal referred to says they FREE
quently bring such certificates with>
in period of five days after recovery
and if the teacher turns the pupil
away. the parents become incensed
and threaten all kinds Of revenge.
The doctors issue such certificates
in ignorance Of the fact that a law
passed by the last legislature and
signed by the governor June 1S, '95,
provides that no child who has been
afflicted with contagious disease
or coming from home where such
disease has existed, can be admitted
to the school within a period of
thirty days after the patient has
been pronounced as being fully re,
covered.
The law reposes fine of not less
than SIS or more than 500 on the
teacher who knowingly admit pupils
to his school within the prescribed
time, or in default of payment, sixty
days in Jail. Tbs physicians are
evidently ignorant of the existence
OF such a law and almost every day
send children to school armed with
certificates, who demand admittance
although contagion may yet lurk
about their persons.

The following from an exchange
hits every community: Some men
take it as an insult if bill be sent
to them. No matter how long the
account may have run, or how long
it may have taken to aggregate an
account of a few dollars, the moment
the printer sends a bill, the ire of the
person owing the same eXplodes.
How silly this is. Why if business
men did not send out statements,
and even in many cases demand
prompt settlements the business of
this world would soon go to the
bow vows. The way to avoid get
ting a bill is to pay what you owe in
q reasonable time.
We expect to address statements
TO large number of delinquents
next week, and we trust all will re-
spond by the first of the new year.
There is something over two
thousand dollars due us OH our sub
scription book and we propose to
collect part of it at least.

from Senator Cameron in which he
states unequivocally that he will not
he candidate for reelection, had
not been received by Senator Nc
Carrsll at midnight. He has no
reason to doubt it, however, that
such letter has been written. There
was somewhat of sensation In
political circles caused by the news
from Washington. A few persons,
however, knew of the conference and
it's result several days ago. Senator
Cameron is ambitious to go abroad
as Minister to England or France
and it is believed his action now is
with this purpose in view. Specu-
lation is rife as to his probable
successor, but no two politicians
mention the same name. Governor
Hastings is believed, to be the
favor one.
