bearing an American flag, and on
each flag was large letter. When
the pupils had taken positions on
the stage in a semi-circle the au-

words formed by the letters on the
flags. The words were:
: WASHINGTON AND IRVING. !:
The bearers of the flags were
members of the Washington and
Irving Society of the City High

himself with glory by the splendid
manner in which he acclaimed
"Apostrophe to Washington .

The paper read by Miss Eva
Davis on "Nyashington's Early
Life" was meritorious and was
received with applause by the
hearers.
The illustrated recitation by Miss
Amanda Caldwell was treat which
was greatly enjoyed by all who
heard the little lady.
Miss Guy Hellums read a beauti-

1t has been "a widespread popular
opinion that the purity of water OBJ
tanned from deep wells of the kind
known as driven wells, 7might be de-
pended upon OF late,j however there
has arisen a doubt iof the accuracy of
this belief, and scientific investigation
has now shown it to be erroneous. Ex-
animation of water from consider
able number of springs and deep wells
by the psychologists of the Massachu-
sets State Board of Health has shown
that bacteria are present in water TAX
en- not only from springs and open
wells, but from carefully guarded wells
Of quite extraordinary depth.
The results Of the Investigations
prove that Sternberg Abbott and other
high authorities were in error in be-
Heving waters from deep sources to be
free from bacteria. FARMLAND, in his
tMicro-O Organisms III Water" evidently
had doubts, but his Investigations led
him to believe that such waters, al
though perhaps not wholly free from
heterogeneous, possessed high de-
gree of bacterial purity. 1t is diff
cult, says the report of the board, to
find deep wells in uhinhabited regions.
Tt is plain, however, that water abso-
lutely free from bacteria is not ordi-
narily obtained from even deep wells,
and that many deep wells contain as
numerous bacteria as are found in
many surface waters. z
