EncouraxIux Falsehood.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Is it part of our won
derful school system to encourage
children to deceive their teachers? That
is what is being done, am told, every
day in the Pleasantville school. When
the closing hour comes the smaller
children are asked if they have whispered
during the day. If they have, and tell
the truth about it, they are detained
after school and compelled to write a
hundred or two hundred or more words
as punishment. If they lie about it
as most children wili-then they go free.
This, l submit, is altogether wrong and
calculated to encourage children to
deceive. They do not, when only few
years old, fully realize the sin of false
hood, and to punish them when they tell
the truth is simply to put a premium
upon lying. Whispering is one of the
evils of the schoolroom for which it is
hard to devise a remedy, but it seems to
me that one that does not suggest de-
ception would be better. What do you
think about it, Mr.. Editor?

PLEASANTyILLE, Oct, 1S,


Until quite recently we were not
aware that the system alluded to by our
correspondent was adopted in our
schools. We believe it should be done
away with at once, for it has long ago
been discarded in nearly all thereputable
schools of the country. If teachers
know their business they can easily find
better method of dealing with the
whispering problem. Whispering cannot
be wholly suppressed among young pu-
pills, but it can be practically regulated
so that no serious trouble viii be caused.
Our correspondent is right in saying
that methods in vogue here, ''simply
puts premium upon lying" Up to
date teachers will devise a better re-
medy. If they cannot they have no
business in the schoolroom.

The Senatorial Contests

This afternoon ballot for United
States senator will be taken in each
house OF the Legislature. Neither of the
three candidates will he elected, and to-
morrow, at noon, the two houses will
meet in joint assembly and ballot again.
They may take as many ballots each day
as they desire, until some person
receives 80 votes, a majority OF all the
votes Of the joint assembly
The indications of last evening seemed
to Justify the predictions in :he vote OF
today Rawlins will lead, with Thatcher
a very close second and Henderson
third, with no very wide gap between
any OF them. When the vote is taken
tomorrow there will be something OF a
Esalignment, and that candidate who
has his forces best in hand will emerge
from the redistribution in the best
shape.
There were numerous changes is the
lineup Of the senatorial teams yester-
day, and the net results apparently re-
duces tn i, Rawlns vote to 20, increases
the Thatcher strength to 10 and Hen
'dersonS following to IA, leaving three

LOCKJAW IN. SOIL.
Tetanus Bacilll Thrive in Long Island
Nine Fatalities "a Year.

The death Cf child in Brooklyn from
lock jaw, said to have been caused by
bacilli OF the disease which existed in
the soil of that region. calls attention
again to peculiar danger of some por-
tions of Long Island, which has been
mentioned at intervals of several years
In this instance the child, says the Hart
ford Times, e girl two years old, had
been vaccinated. There was no reason
to suspect the purity of the vaccine
matter. II was used three weeks ago,
and the child was getting on well until
in playing in the dirt she scratched the
vaccinated arm while her fingers were
smeared with clay.
AS to the existence of tetanus bacilli
in the soil, the evidence seems to be am
pie. Health Commissioner Emery says
the soil is full of these bacilli and that
they caused several deaths which fol-
lowed vaccination year ago. DR..
Mayne who attended the little girl, says:
The germs Of tetanus are in the air as
well as in the soil but 10 breathe them is
not necessarily fatal. In the vicinity
of the south shore of Long Island

fallen victims to the bacilli. In the
case of the little girl her finger nails
contained the germ, which when
brought into contact with the superb
cial abrasion at once inoculated her sys-
tenn with the poison" DR.. West, of the
Brooklyn departments of health, says the
existence of the germ of tetanus has
been noted for severalyears more par
ticularly in the east and southern tiers
of Long Island. He adds: Suffolk
county, | believe, has the reputation of
being the most affected spot. In the
past three years, in Brooklyn, there has
been an average of nine fatalities from
the work of tetanus bacillus annually.
The germ, when exposed TO the air, soon
succumbs. When it attacks a wound it
burrows down deep, for the purpose of
keeping away from the air"

stamps can and often does indirectly influence

money when drawn has been wisely spent.

Numerous children are now out of school
because they have no books although during
summer they have wasted more than the
necessary amounts. A principal recently told
me she would do all she could to assist me
in inducing these children to save for needed

OFFICERS FOR THIS TERM.
Methodist Preachers Association
Organizes With Cowgirl President

Methodist Preachers Association
Organizes With Cowgirl President.
The first meeting, after conference,
of the Methodist Preachers associa-
ton, of st. Paul, was held yesterday
afternoon in the Y. M. G. A. rooms,
and the following officers were elected
for the ensuing six months:
President Rev. F. B. Cowgirl.
Vice President, Rev. c. A. Cressy.
Secretary Rev. Thomas Hamb.in.
A programme committee was ap-
pointed to outline the work of the
meetings for the coming winter.
Considerable attention was given yes
terday to the question of the relation
of the church and its charitable socie-
ties to the poor, and the proposed
adoption of the Buffalo plan, as out
lined by David Morgan, was discussed
at some length.
This plan, in brief, is to district the
city, giving each church a certain ter
ritory, and require a census to be fur
nished CT the people in that district,
more especially the poor people, and
their conditions and surroundings. A
great many people need help, but are
too proud to ask it, and suffer in
silence; they should be approached
with tact and not only material assis-
tance but sympathy and attention af-
is far more numerous class Of appl1-
cants for charity who are undeserving,
and such an effort would specially re-
duce the amount of ill-advised and
miscellaneous bestowal of aid.
Such a movement is not intended to
interfere with the work of the Asso-
ciated Charities, but rather to supple
ment it, 1t will bring the cases of the
deserving poor to the immediate at
tention of members of the church and
the assistance will generally be in the
nature of furnishing employment to
the needy ones. 1t will also avoid any
duplication of charity, of which one
case was mentioned, where one family
is receiving substantial aid from three
churches of as many denominations.
1t is contemplated inaugurating this
plan among the Methodist churches Of
the city and to ask those of other de-
nominations to join in the movement.
This plan originated in Buffalo, N. Y,
two years ago from suggestion made
by w. J. Stead, and is said to be very
successful in it's operation. 1t will be
the subject of discussion and possibly
of definite action at the next meeting
of the association.
