The question of preventing chill
dren within school age from attend
ing school because they cannot OBJ
tain hoalth certificates is very ssri-
Gus one. The proposition to estab-
lish an asylum for such children is
simply preposterous. Does the
father of that idea contend that
parents whose children are suffering
from consumption should bs com.
PEELED to place them among leper
suspects? The next Legislature will
have something to say, aud the
health certificate business be thor
oughly revised. Why children who
crowd into churches, theatres, trains
and tramcars should not go to
school is simply absurd. We cannot
all die of old age and as long as
diseases exist we have to take our
chances. Men and women suffering
from tuberculosis marry and bring
issue into the world in whom posi-
BILE the germ OF the disease is lurk-
ing. So do those who suffer from
syphilis, cancer and similar diseases
to which the flesh is prove, but no
government has yet attempted 10
stop such alliances by law. 1t is OF no
use being supersensitive and the
arbitrary act of the Board OF Edu-
dation should certainly not be sup
ported by the Legislature.

The Deputy Sheriff OF Lahaina
admits in letter written by him to
the Advertiser that he stopped a
"hay-ride" party of ladies and gen

Phosphate Rock.

Mr. r. o Hunter was in town last Monday
and ex Inhibited q specimen OF something which
looks like phosphate rock, which came from
q tract of land known az the Belcher land
and now owned by Hunter Brothers. Per
sons who may be familiar with phosphate
rock might assist Mr.. Hunter in determining
the value of his find.
Mr.. A. w. Jones recently took specimen OF
this same rock 10 Charleston, where 1t will be
analysed.
Rev. Hugh McLees believes that section OF
the county was once q lake, and these petri-
fed rocks may have resulted from that fact.
Various deposits OF min erals are to be found
on Mr., Hunters land. and the adjoining
ground, and in time such developments may
occur as 10 astonish the people.
Mr.. Hunter does not give very roseate
hue TO the prospects for small grain, though
he thinks the crop is better than 1t was last
wear. and the acreage OF wheat Is larger.
