WOMEN IN INDIAN SCHOOLS.
They Are Being Succeeded as super
infendenis by Men.

The number of women superintendent
OF Indian schools is considerably less now
than the number employed when Commits
sioner Jones took charge of his Office The
passage of the civil service law was the
means of very largely increasing women's
sphere in the Indian service and the Off
cials are beginning TO replace them with
men, The reasons given are that women
are less able to stand the strain of re-
sponsibility and that they lack the business
ability which is necessary.
Unless person is competent to man
age such an institution, said Commission
er Jones. "he rarely gets efficient work out
of the subordinates. 1t has been the ex-
perience of this Office that men are better
adapted for this work than women. AS
teachers OF young people women are emil
nently successful. They are essentially
teachers, and in this line of work in a
majority of cases are vastly superior to
the men, In the general lines OF indian
education their work has been invaluable.
and their deicacy OF manner and refine
ment has an excellent influence in the
moral training of the Indian youth
The latest statistics of the Interior De-
partment show the number of Indian
schools as follows: Agency day schools,
1903: Independent day schools, 10; reserva-
ton boarding schools. 81: non-reservation
boarding schools, 26.

DISCREDITs SANARELLI.
Surgeon General sternberg ON the
Cause of Yellow Fever

The reports of Surgeons Wasdin and Gel
dings. of the Marine Hospital Service. re-
garding their investigation into the caxse
of yellow fever. in which they uphold the
theory Of Prof Sanarelli. OF Bologna does
not receive the approval OF Surgeon Gen.
eral Sternberg, Of the Army. In a state
ment made public yesterday General Stern
berg takes UP the findings OF Drs. Wastlin
and Geddings in order, and attempts U
answer them.
Il am not influenced he says. ''in my
scientific conservatism by any feelings OF
jealousy and shall be ready 10 do full honor
to Sanarelli when the discovery is definite
ly established"
One reason why General Sternberg cannot
accept Sanareilis conclusions is given as
follows:
Sanarelli's bacillus grows readily in the
culture media employed By me in my re-
searches. but in nineteen typical cases OF
yellow fever in which introduced such me-
dia blood from the heart of yellow fever ca
davers did not contain his bacillus. the eul-
lures remaining sterile in fifteen. In three
OF the four cases in which a growth oc-
CURED / identified the bacillus found as
bacillus coli communis. I strongly suspect
that some of these psychologists who
claim TO have found SanarelIi's bacillus
have mistaken for il one of the varieties OF
