Mr.. Laas then goes into the details
of the partnership business, and he
relates very sensational story, but
the Graphic can not afford to print
it, as the statements made are libel
Gus if not true. Mr.. Laas also speaks
of Mr.. Fergus moral conduct in a
very damaging way, and while he
attaches his name to what he writes
and says he can prove every state
ment he has made, the Graphic must
very respectfully decline to print Mr..
Laas' letter in full. The Graphic is
willing at all times to give a person
a fair hearing on any grievance he
may have against the Graphic. but in
the present instance the grievance
is against another and not against
the Graphic.

science assures us now are lurking ev-
erywhere-in our drinking water, in
our milk, in our fruit, in our vege-

in our theater tickets, in our sleeping

dificult for the ordinary man to un.
derstand why his ancestors were not
annihilated some thousands of years

II the disease germs are as active
today as the bacteriologists say they
are, they must have been fully as ac.

the best families drank surface water,

The castles of the feudal barons
must have swarmed with disease

families from which our best and fre.
quently very healthiest citizens have
sprung, cooked, ate and slept in one
room on the ground floor of a log
cabin; when children slept four or five
in a trundle bed; when sanitation, ex.

There is little question that we all
should have been dead long ago, or
that the great majority of us would
never have been born, If something
had not intervened TO prevent the

been saved by a widespread lack of

PRESIDENT ELLIOT ON EDUcA.
TION


President Eliot, of Harvard univer.
sity, opens the November Atlantic
with an important article on "The
School," its characteristics. what its
aims should be, and into what It
should develop. His conclusion is:
Finally, there are certain senti.
mnets which every school. public.
private, or endowed, ought to help to
strengthen and foster In the minds
and hearts of its pupils The world
is still governed by sentiments, and
not by observation, acquisition, and
reasoning; and national greatness
and righteousness depend more on
the children than on anything else.
Now, the sentiments which American
schools ought to cherish and inclucate
are family love, respect for law and
public order, love Of freedom, and
reverence for truth and righteousness.
incidentally but necessarily they
ought also 10 teach the doctrine tnat
we are all members one OF another
Fortunately this last doctrine can be
amply and forcibly illustrated by the
experience of every household. The
immediate dependence OF one house.
hold on many others, and of one com.
munity upon many others, has really
become formidable during the last
century; since every individual has
become dependent on many other peo.
ple-mostly strangers-for the most
absolute necessaries of life. II Is
high time that a direct and vigorous
inculcatlon OF the fundamental and In.
dispensable social sentiments should
be deliberately made a part of the
discipline of every school and col.
lege in the country. There is not a
religion. or e religious denomination
in the world which does not recog
nize these sentiments. or which oh.
jects to any of them; and religious
differences should not be allowed 10
prevent the teaching OF these primary
principles to all children in the land"
