IA committee of the Toronto school
II board has been considering the subject
of savings banks in schools. Several
bankers were present to explain meth
DDS of establishing accounts and trans
uniting the money to regular banking
institutions for safe keeping. Several
members Of the committee opposed the
scheme on the ground that it is not the
business of schoolmasters to train pupils
to misery habits. One committeeman
said that the scheme would have some
merit if the children earned the money
to be deposited. Most of it would come
from parents and might as well be put
In savings banks at home as to be made
a burden to teachers. This position
seems sound. School teachers have
enough cares without investing the pen
mics of youngsters and keeping books
for them. The committee postponed ac-

! wine, and the drink which Mr.. Auker
| took of it caused his death. Now Mrs.
AulIer, the widow, has sued Mr.. Ellis
for $4,000 damages, alleging gross neg
ligence on his part, and this was the
suit brought in Lawrence. 1t is not in
timated that the poisoning was anything
more than an accident.
AS the Kansas City Journal points
out, there seems to be involved in this
suit principle rather more important
than first glance might indicate. If a
host can be held responsible for the
death of his guest may he not also be
held responsible for any injury or suf-
fering the guest may incur-that is,
when the negligence of the host is made
apparent? Thus, may not a man who
accepts the Invitation of his friend and
gets dyspepsia from eating badly baked
biscuits or UNDERGONE piecrust have a
true cause of action against his host?
The result of the suit brought by Mrs.
Auker will be awaited with much inter
est.

NATHAN STRAUS, NOBLE WORK.

Benevolent Nathan Straus, of New
York, isn't satisfied with what he has
done for the babies of his city and seeks
| to do more His latest move is to ask
for the building of permanent booths in
four parks in Manhattan for the distr-
button of eterilized milk to the children
of the poor. The Board of Estimate has
consented to appropriate the needed
money If it had been found that there
was no fund from which the money
could be taken it is stated that Mr.
Straus was willing to pay for the
booths himself, if permission to build
them were given
Mr.. Straus has been engaged in the
distribution of sterilzed milk for eev-
en- years. The milk which he distrib-
utes has been freed from all disease
germs and it is given to the mothers
who apply for it in return for a nomi-
nal sum, or on the presentation Of a
ticket from a physician or a charitable
organization. These tickets are to be
had freely on application. There is no
dispute as to the sanitary value of this
milk. When Mr.. Straus began his work
in the old City of New York in 1891
there were 1911 800 children under
years of age and SO out of every thou
sand of them died during the year. In
1898 there were 1900 such children
and only 60 out of every thousand died
1t is admitted by everyone familiar
with the facts that this decrease in the
death rate Is due largely to the use of
sterilzed milk. A better illustration of
the effects of the use of this milk is af-
forded by the reports of the Charities
department. In 1897 that department
treated 1881 children, of whom 524, or
A per cent, died. In 1898 Mr.. Straus
gave to the department plant for ster-
ilizing milk and the milk was used The
