 Properly to evaluate education as factor in the upbuilding of commun- ity there must first be some standard by which the worth of an individual as a citizen may be measured, and the effects of education in relation 10 standard must be determined
 Among the most important and fun- damentaI characteristics of good etti- zenship are physical perfection. patriot ism. and love of law and order. which last embraces what is known as good morals. A system of education which develops one of the foregoing eharac- , teristics to the neglect or prejudice of another is defective. It is thought that the system best calculated to contrib ute to good citizenship Is that which produees simultaneously and haruOni- ously healthy physical. mental and moral growth. If this is admitted, the influence of military edncationk at once become apparent.
 our modern education demands . knowledge of persons. things and events, necessary to pleasant and proh- table social and commercial inter. course.
 The curriculum of 8 military school differs but slightly from that of other educational institutions, omerlng as it does a course of study in the arts and sciences sufficient to explain natural phenonena, including enough Of rHathe- matics. languages, and literature to meet the requirements of the station in life one occupies or aspires to. The value of a military education depends not so much upon the course Of study as upon the environment and routine in the midst of which the student is thrown at the most impressionable period of his life
 Tn an article entitled The Army as a Factor in the Upbuildins of Society. Capt M B. Stewart of the United States Army has presented the advan- tages of military training. The bene- fits to be derived from such training may well be briefly displayed by ex- tracting from this article or adapting such portions of it as are descriptive of or applicable to student life in we'll organized military schools.

THE DANGER OF LEpRosy.
Medical Expert Thinks It Is Now Tax
 ing Root in This Country.

New York Post.
 The possibility that George Rossett the Syrian leper, from Elkins. w. Va. may be able to make his way to this city. in spite of the efforts of the. health authorities of Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey to turn him back caused Dr. A. S. Ashmead. formerly medical adviser to the Government oi Japan, and an expert on leprosy, to make this statement yesterday:
 The idea that this eity's favored climate makes the spread of the d. sease impossible here Is absurb. It has been shown that beyond question of doubt that the bacilf of leprosy are transformed from one person to apoth- CT by mosquitoes and f1eas I have recently taken up the case of a young man who Is afflicted with leprosy. ai- though he never left New York. As the disease is not hereditary, he must have caught it from somebody here
 The history of leprosy is sat 1t is brought into a new country IL takes fifty years for the seeds to take root. and then after some two hundred years it becomes in many cases, epi- demic. It is about that now in colom- bia Forty years ago there were 400 iepers in that country; now there are 4o,o00. Almost every member of the Colombian Cabinet has ieprosy in his family. It has increased alarmingiy In this country, to which other coun- tries arc sending their lepers.. New York is the. Mecca for them. because there are no restrictions for them here. Whenever the health authorities anywhere near New York find leper, they slip him here quickly"
 The only wise course for this coun- try to adopt. pr. Ashmead added, Is to establish camps or hospitals, and 10 force all lepers found in the country to go there and live. Tn that way the di- sease might be stamped put, or at least reduced to a minimum of danger.

class, which class is constituted by
having under 10000 people. The
eighth class which comes between 30.-
900 and $4,000 people with no increase
of salaries for county officers, was
not considered, so the class was raised
to the seventh. Under this arrange
ment the county pays its officers ap-
proximately $4,000 more a year than
under the ninth class. The increases
are: superintendent of schools from
5000 to $4,000: assessor, from $1,000
to $1,000; auditor, from $500 to
