Topeka club women have been re-
celving literature sent out by the Anti
tuberculosis League of Cincinnati rel
alive to special programmes given by
the leagues in towns and cities in the
United States calculated to arouse the
public to a sense of the danger of tu-
berculosis and the possibility of cur
ing the disease and Kidding the cOun-
try OF the white plague Mr.. E. G.
ROutzahn. remembered in Topeka for
his lecture on Civic Improvement
given at the Auditorium some time
ago under the auspices of the West
Side Forestry club, Is the director of
these special programmes. Mr.. Rout-
zahn. judging by all the offices he
hold. Is a very busy man. Those in

and Prevention of Tuberculosis. los

If Mr.. Routzahn has to write or die
tate all that very often, he cannot
have must time left to fight tubercu-
losis.
But. fippancy aside, the Anti-Tu-
berculosis people seem to be doing as
much practical good as most Of the
organized Terormers, and If they are
not accomplishing anything they at
least have a good working plan. They
provide free lecturers. who give stere-
opticon demonstrations on the cure
and prevention of tuberculosis under
the auspices of local clubs or other
organizations. Christian Scientists
wouldn't approve of this advertisement
of mental error but the fact that the
lecturer advises people not to take
cough medicines would perhaps some
what appease them.
The Anti-Tuberculosis League fur
ntsheS the illustrated lecture free. and
the local committee is expected to take
care Of the local expenses, stereopti-
con, hall, publicity, hotel, etc. If any
clubs or other institutions in Kansas
want to secure a date in November, the
matter should be taken up as quickly
as possible by telegraph with Mr..
Routzahn. The circulars advertising
the lectures say: The hopeful in
tuberculosis is emphasized in these lee
lures. They are not technical and will
be intel =sting to everyone. They con-
tain nothing offensive or dangerous.
They consist of charts, maps, models,
photographs and demonstrations Of
the value Of outdoor life. The exhibit
shows that consumption is commun.
icable-but that 1t is easily prevent
able and durable. The exhibit is es-
pecially for well people,"

Mrs. w. A. McCarter, who has been
mentioned a good many times for the

mated, is credited with wishing to see
the work of the federation reorgan-
lied. Mrs w. A. Johnston has sug
gested that If this is done the work
should be reorganized along the lines
of the General Federation, with cor
responding committees. Probably the
first step of the new administration
will be reorganization of the federation
in respect to committees or depart
ments.

and with the teaching force employed
by the cities of the county the number
reaches close to 400. Placing the pop.
uation of the county at 100000 people
this gives one teacher to every go citi-
zens.
A feature Of this years work in the
rural schools Of the county is the de-
mand for men teachers OF high scholas-
tic attachments and the willingness to
pay for the services of such. Most Of
the best salaried positions 60 to male
teachers of experience and ability.
For the first TINA in years this coun-
ty has been without state approved
summer school and the reason is given
that they nearly always prove to be
poor financial ventures. Many Of the
county teachers, however, are spending
the summer at the state university or
onr of the fyo state normal schools.
The university, Warrensburg and the
new state normal at Springfield each
have large representations from this
county.
All work done in any state normal or
at the university summer school is ere
dited towards certificate 10 this coun.
ty, without examination.
In the city schools Of the county
many of the teachers are doing advanc
ed work in the best universities Of the
United States and the movement to-
ward higher standards of scholarship is
progressing in a way that Jasper county
may well be proud of.-Press.

An Adventurous Correspondent

Few newspapers in the United States
are able to command the services of as
brilliant croI of CORE spondents as the
Chicago Record Herald. Its choice of
Walter Wellman to represent it at Wash
ington is a good illustration of its wise
policy of getting the best there is to be
had Mr. Wellman bias won a national
reputation for originality and daring by
trying to reach the north pole by an air
ship.
Whatever may be the results Of Mr..
Wellman's daring attempt to reach the
pole this summer in an air ship and sead
the news of the voyage at once to The
Record Herald by wireless telegraphy,
tho Welman. Record. Herald expedition
is sure TO be conducted by MIR Wellnan
with the same cool courage.and whole
souled enthusiasm that have made him
an ideal newspaper correspondent.
Mr. Wellman was born in Mentor, o.,
in 1858. a: ii he began his newspaper
experience, established at that age
weekly paper 10 the little town ofSutton
Neb. In 1884 he became the Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago Herald
for which paE er he visited the West In.
iies in 1892 and located the landing
place Of Columbus, marking the spot
with huge stone monument. In 1894
he made his first dash for the pole,
reaching the latitude of 81 degrees
northeast of Sptzbergen. In 1898 he
tried the same fascinating quest again,
penetrating as far as Franz Josef Land.
On both trips he had wonderful success
in discovering new islands and securing
new scientific data which has been of
great value to the American Geographic
cal Society. His voluminons writings
for scientific periodicals and popular
magazines have shown the same incisive
though and keen insight that have mark
ed his journalistic work.
