A Mis-Cue on Words.

I'm account oi the late death OF a
child IN this city, after it had under
gone the >o-callcd Faith Cure treat
ment, appears i'll Wednesdays P-L.,
under the hlack-lcttcr headline of
"Chlld Die. Becau@c Parents Treated
With Prayer Alone"
Without being defender Of Faith
Cure "Chri>tian Science" or anv
other sO-called scientific or unscientitic
methods OF combating disease, we re-
specially ask 10y what right does AZ
widely circulated and influential a
journal as the Pr. assume to draw a
conclusion OF fact upon the premises
as stated? The child may or NAV not
have died, had not prayer been ut
tered, or it may or may not have died
had it been attended by a score of
physicians, the failure to provide
which which Is doubtless the corollary
for the assumption embraced in the
because" so un9ualifiedly stated.
Had it recovered, under such condi-
tons, the P.-I. in all fairness would
have been in duty bound to have as
crlbcd as much credit to the prayer
gauge method, as is usually accredited
to doctors when Nature rallies and eff
fects a cure. But would it have
done so?
Common Sense, however, affords n
much more probable answer to such
queries. Probably as many people die
under the physicians treatment as re-
cover, but that fault is no disparage.
ment OF their knowledge OF disease, or
of skill in diagnosing from symptoms,
or in compromising remedies to meet
the results of examination. The bet
ter class of physicians will admit that
they can only assist nature, at best,
and that faith and careful nursing SUI
persede pills and powders in nearly all
cases.
Had the child been OF an age to
have asserted a will power, probably
prayers would have been as effective,
in its condition, as purgatives, and
surely the parents must have supple
mented their prayers with Jealous
effort to produce, by such hygenic
means as were at their command, the
efficacy of their appeals to the Great
Unknown. This is to be conceded
from parent love for offspring, and if
the child's life was jeopardized from
neglect of the means sanctioned by
custom and usage, there is a way OF
stating that fact, in our expressive
English language, that is neither
ambiguous nor misleading.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Annual Report Of County Superintendent
Henry for the Year Ending June 80.

In transmitting this report, am
pleased to be able to state that the
school interests of this county are in a
prosperous condition, both as to the
finances of the school districts and as
to the sentiment of the people con-
corning the work of the schools.
Most OF the districts are On cash
paying basis, and the total warrant in.
debtedness has been materially de-
creased during the year
While the average number OF
months school was maintained during
the year-six months-was the same
as that of the year before, and the en-
rollment nearly two hundred less, the
total actual days attendance was
greater, showing much more regular
attendance.
