pleased to learn that there is al
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa

Schools and Teachers.

Educators throughout the coun-
try are interested in the decision
of the appellate division of the
United States Supreme Court af-
firming the right of the school
boards of New York to declare the
position vacant of any woman
teacher or principal who is married
during the term of service. There
is a difference of opinion among
school masters upon the subject,
which has resulted in very much
discussion. The school board
adopted a resolution that marrying
should be equivalent to resigning.
Two Brooklyn teachers brought
suits to test the law, and the lower
court decided in their favor. Supt,
Maxwell then brought the matter
before the Supreme Court, and the
result was the upholding Of the
New York school board. Justice
Hooker, in giving his opinion
said:
"The purpose of the rule is not
to discourage marriage. 1t il
rather in the public interest to dis
pense with the services of tina
class of teachers who assume new
duties and step into another field
and where it is thought their en-
vironments would tend toward th'
disparagement of school interest.
In the majority of the cities o
the country there is either writ
ten or unwritten law upon the sub
ject, which makes marriage Of tn

DR.. Fred W. Atkinson, ex-
superintendent of education in the
Philippines, made an interesting
speech before the Massachusetts
Schoolmaster Club last week, in
which he gave graphic descrip-
ton of the conditions in the islands
at the time the first consignment Of
American teachers went out there
and of the characteristics of the
people. AS the English language
is to be the official language after
1906, the natives who desire to
hold Office are very anxious to ac-
quire it before that time. He de-
scribed the children as being very
quick to learn, but not fond of
continuous effort, as the American

FINE RECORD IN CITY SCHOOLS.
Points of Interest as Shown BY the
Census

The publication of the school CEN
sus of Amerlcus, copies of which have
been received from the Government
printing office, contain many facts of
interest to the public here,
The white school population shows
an increase, and the colored decrease,
since the last census.
OF the nearly 1000 children of school
age in Americus, there are only two
white children who can read but can
not write, aud not one over ten years
of age who can neither read or write.
This fact, IN itself, ID one of special
Importance and consideration.
Of the entire white school popula-
ton, only eighty children failed to
attend school last year.
During the last year there were but
two deaths IN Americus among chill
dren of school age, one q white pupil,
resulting from accident, and one of q
oolored child from natural causes.
There is not an idiot, not a mute,
and but one blind child in Americus,
of school age.
SUpt. Mathis says the attendance in
the white schools this term is 613 pu
pills, forty more than were enrolled
last season. The colored attendance
shows decrease of II pupils.
The report, withal, is most fatter
ing, and shows that the Am ericuI
schools are upon high plane, ant
that the attendance rs constantly in
creasing in the several departments.
