found adulterated or lacking the grade OF
nutrition required by the city ordinances
Since the archaeological and chemical
laboratories have been established five
cases of suspected tuberculosis have been
reported to the health department, this
numbr being more than for the entire year
before. In only three samples of the
sputum submitted was the germ Of the
disease found, the others yielding negative
results. In two tests TO determine the
presence of typhoid fever but one was
found positive. For diphtheria only seven
cases were found positive to sixteen mega
tive. The city water supply was found to
be pure and without fermentation as was a
sample of ice taken from Cut on lake.
Health Commissioner Ralph is preparing
arrangements to have supplies obtainable
at various drug stores so that physicians
may gather materials for the blood test
applied TO typhoid suspects. The entire
psychological work is to be systematized
and put in general practice as soon as
printed matter car be obtained. The print
ing has been held back by the delay OF the
city council in making a new contract for
the year.
Several ice samples are to be analysed

haps some of these statements have been
exaggerations, and again it is probable
thai enough has not been said to do Jus

pupils.
1t is necessary for a scholar to have
required number OF points in order to hold

fail in any one study while officiating
IL is sufficient cause for their removal from

II is beyond doubt that two cadet cap
tains and the president of the senior class
failed to pass in all of their studies during
the last examination and II was therefore
supposed they would be asked to vacate
their positions. Instead of this. the princi-
pal makes two or three examinations (?)"
Of their papers and finds that they have
pulled through by the skin OF their

OF course such thing may be true, but
Is it not strange coincidence that these
particular three, whose failing had been
the subject OF much conversation in school
circles, should be found to be the victims
Of careless grading on the part of their
teachers and after the principal had taken
hold of the matter il was discovered to
be all mistake"
I wonder If the papers of the other pupils
have been re-eNamined carefully" and if
and more mistakes have been found. II
so, it can be taken for granted that the
mistakes" were only visible after the
student had requested the reorganization.
All the students ask for is the much
talked-of square deal" with justice to
all and malice towards none. II this Is
impossible. there will be but little encour-
agement for a scholar in taking an exam
ination II he knows his paper will be sub
