HONOR FOR NEW PRESIDENT.
Loubet Decorated with the Grand
Gordon of the Legion of Honor
Message to Parliament.

Paris, Feb. 22.-Gen. Davouet, duke
of Auerstaedt, grand chancellor of the
Legion of Honor, on Tuesday invested
President Loubet with the grand cor
don of the Legion of Honor, in the
presence of all the cabinet ministers.
In President Loubet's. message, sub
mitted to both houses Tuesday after
noon, he says the regular transmission
of power to the new president proves
Frances fidelity to the republic, at a
time certain misguided persons are
seeking to shake the confidence of the
country in it's institutions.
Continuing, the president dwells upon
the necessity of appeasement, union
and respect for the essential organs of
society, parliament, the magistracy,
government and the national army. He
concludes with recalling the work of
the republic, which, the president as
serts, assures liberty and peace, has
founded great colonial empire and
has concluded alliances and precious
friendships.
The chamber of deputies was crowded
when M. Loubet's message was read.
1t was greeted with salvos of braves.
The house adjourned until Friday.
The senate received the message with
similar approval.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Hygiene and Health.

"The public school has more to fear
from its friends than from it's enemies.''
A child In school becomes languid and
unit for work. Someone who has given
not moments thought to the true con.
dition of things says "the work is too
hard; the pupil is required to do too
much" This is no doubt true in some
cases, but in, many more it is due to the
lack of hygienic conditions under which
the work is carried on. To get the bes
results In any line it is necessary that
the conditions be of the very best posi-.
BILE. In the past too little attention has
been paid to the sanitary conditions un-
der which the high school work has been
carried on. AT the present those things
are receiving more Of the consideration
that their importance demands. Heat
lrg and ventilation are among the most
important problems of school work to-
day. Pure air is an absolute necessity
for the working, growing organism.
Unsanitary conditions cause more break
downs and failures in connection with
educational work than all other causes
combined. 'Tis not alone to live, but to
live to the best possible advantage, that
is the problem.
In the schools may be found rooms
containing from thirty to sixty pupils.
Some few of these come from homes
where the bath tub is unknown. The
clothing, some of it, is worn day and
night, often for weeks together. Many
OF these pupils haye catarrhal affections
and other diseases of various kinds. In
some cases pupils may be found in these
rooms with tuberculosis in we'll develop
ed stages of this dread disease. What
will be the condition Of the atmosphere
OF such room, heated by the ordinary
stove and no proper means of ventila.
ton, after school has been in session ten
or fifteen minutes? 1t will fairly stink
with the exudatlons of the lungs and the
bodies of its occupants. No one can say
that such are the best conditions for
school life. Such room is hot bed Of
disease. In this state of Iowa may be
found more such school rooms, ten times
over, than may be found of those that
are properly heated and ventilated. The
disease germs arising from such condi.
lions accumulate in the cracks and
crevices of the walls ard OF the furniture,
I'm Germany an examination of the
scraplngs from under the nails of thir-
teen school children revealed the germs
of fifteen distinct diseases"
at is we'll to know that no child can
learn we'll or grow mentally when in
bodily discomfort. Dizziness, uneasiness,
and consequent disorder in a school
are directly traceable to vitiated air. II
the body is numb with cold, if the feet
are damp and chilled, the mind becomes
stupid; and the sweltering heat of
badly ventilated school room. the un.
easiness of an over loaded stomach, OF
constipation, and of uncomfortable
clothing will produce the same result.
Moreover, an abnormal condition of the
body is often the source OF immortality.
We blame the first Adam too much.
The real Adam is nearer home and of
this generation and every generation
that neglects the laws Of health.
