Need ofSohool for Parents.

To the normal infant of the human
species it is commonly source of as
tonishment that the world into which
he has been put without his consent,
is not his to command. His nearest
relatives are, as a rule, his devoted
slaves. He has never intentionally
done anything for them. except TO rob
them of quiet thoughts by day and Of
slumber by night. Yet they scuttie
about endlessly TO amuse him and
crafty his wishes. The arrangement,
so far as it goes, is good enough from
his point of view. But its limitations
are grotesquely apparent. His retinue,
as it turns out, is composed of servit-
ors of only very ordinary powers.
Ambition bids him get as much
power as possible. enlsrging to that
end the circle of persons who accept
and execute his orders. Meanwhile it
is good to be amused. If one has
enough money one may be both idle
and important; hence it seems to him
that money is the secret of happiness.
Here is deduction that protrudes
from the surface of things if one be a
sufficiently superficial 'reasoner. So,
the lesson of life having been learned
up-side-down by the growing youth,
ambition is ready to do its worse in
ooSn IN,
The succeeding years which he de.
votes to making money and paying it
out for pleasures more or less dubious
are of no special interest. If he never
gets beyond this stage he has lived in
vain. To the end of the chapter he is
of no Importance to anybody except
his heirs and the other parasites that
expect to prey upon him, living or
dead.
One of the great needs of the age is
proper school for parents. Even those
who have learned the lesson that life
is service are prone to apply it the
wrong way. The child of their own
is the obvious vessel to receive their
devotion and he accordingly receives
it. But they do not look beyond him
do not look even so far as to the
years OF his.msnhood, when a taste for
usef ulness to others should have been
made his by their training, not greed,
not consuming love for pleasure and
a tendency to shirk unpleasant duties
How to set this matter right for the
rising generation and future genera
tions is one of the great problems of
mankind.

COMMUNITY IN

the month Of August, been exception.
ally good. At present there is but one
home in Danville that is placarded, that
being case of scarlet fever. During
the whole month there were but four
cards displayed announcing com
municable diseases.
The report of the registrar shows
that there we're "a deaths in this dis
trict during the month of August, six
being at the hospital for the insane.
The death rate is slightly above that
of the two previous months, there be-
ing 20 in July, being at the hospital
and 81 in June,5 of these being at the
hospital.
The returns for the births are not
all in as yet for August. In July there
were % births and in June. 25.

Back 20 Work.

The Summer play spell is drawing
towards its close. This.Yeek and next
practically closes the Season for the
large majority of people, who have an
extended vacation, or who have cot
tages or live in the country, at the
lake or other resorts during the So
called heated term. The public schools
open the first of next week and par
ents HE home usually few days in
advance to prepare wardrobes and pro-
cure other necessities forTchildren for
school. The housewife has her canning
and other early Fall work to look af-
ter. and the business man 20 enter in
to or prepare for active Fall business.
More people are now returning from
their vacation than are leaving the
city for a play spell. Next Saturday,
Sunday and Monday will find railroad
trains crowded with folks who have
had few days, weeks or months OF
vacation, as the case may be.
1t is not usually so regarded, but the
homecoming of che vacationist bears
far more important relation to his own
and the public welfare than his de-
parture. Every avenue of human ac-
tivity will receive new current OF
energy and vitality of the vacations
have been properly spent. Great pro-
blems that lay unsolved before the
tired eyes of workers in May or June
will be taken up and a quick and easy
solution found. Enterprises of mo-
ment affecting vast improvements
which have lain untouched for months
will be put into motion. The arteries
of trade and of industry will feel the
pulse of new life and fresh vigor,
affecting not isolated concerns but
reaching out for good throughout Ell,
tire communities. The individual who
has only his own private responsibil'
tiles will take up his work with new
courage. 1t may be possible that when
the opportunity for vacation came
he was about to give up in despair
and own himself beaten in the game
of life. A few weeks at the seashore
or in the mountains has given him a
new view of life and added new
strength to his nerves and his courage.
All this accession of renewed energy
and activity pours into the currents
of human endeavor stream of in
creased vitality which will be felt to
the farthest corner of human work
and thought. 1t is astonishing what
encouragement comes to workers
through the opportunity to pause a
moment and view their work from the
outside. The outgoing vacationists
with all their high anticipations of
having good time carried with them
a rather tired conception of their own
place and work in the world. Bad as
things may have been in June, Sept
ember somehow looms up radiant with
better promise. All this is the result
of sensibly spent vacations, and the
value of such a period of rest is only
half told when we recite the number
of pounds we have gained or proudly
exhibit the tanned skin we have ac-
guired

Big PILE DRIVER
IS RECALLED

The d. L. & W. railroad company,
which q couple of weeks ago began
work on an important Improvement
lust east of the station involving the
changing of the course of Blizzard S
run and the construction of concrete
culvert, finds the job much more
difficult and complicated-o than was
at first figured on.
AS a preliminary step some weeks
ago the big pile driver was brought
here and, as is customary where con-
crete bridges are contemplated, logs
ten inches to foot in diameter we're
driven into the roadbed to support the
track while the new bridge is in
building. These were all the piles that
it was thought would be needed in
the operation and when that job was
completed the pile driver was with
drawn. After week or more was
spent in excavating and depth of
some ten feet was reached, it was dis
covered that, instead of solid bottom
on which a concrete structure might
be built. all about the spot was sub
stratum of soft and yielding clay of
unknown depth.
There was only one way to overcome
this defficulty and that was to drive
piles into the bottom of the deep ex-
cavation at regular intervals and on
the bottom thus reinforced to con-
struct the concrete foundation.
The pile driver was recalled. 1t ar
rived Tuesday morning but did not
nearly complete the work. The piles
driven are as large as those employed
to support the track. Scores OF them
will be required to furnish founda-
tion for the concrete, besides the wor k
is subject to many Interruptions due
to the passing of trains. so that yes
te 7 lay it was not thought likely that
the pile driver would get off the
ground before Thursday.

Epidemios of Typhoid Fever.

If there were less pollution of wat
er in Pennsylvania there would be
fewer cases of typhoid fever and few
er untimely deaths or late years
some attention has been paid to the
publication of streams from which
drinking water is drawn, but not
enough has been accomplished There
is yet too much Indifference to the
public health and too much pollution
of streams everywhere.
Last winter there was all epidemic ic
of typhoid fever at Scranton. and many
persons died of the disease. In Dun
more and other towns in the vicinity
there were many cases of the disease
and large proportion of deaths. The
health authorities claimed that the
cause of this epidemic was the pollu-
tion of the water supply Annually
there are thousands of cases of typhoid
in Pittsburgh, and conditions in Phil
adelphia are even worse. Pittsburgh
gets its water from the Allegheny riv-
er, which is seldom if ever clean. and
Philadelphia draws it's water supply
from the Sehuylkill, which is nearly
always unclean.
There is now an epidemic of the dis
ease at Ridgway and one hundred and
twenty-five persons are i'll. There are
not enough nurses in the town and
manufacturing plants have been closed
because there are not enough working
men to operate them. Here, too, it is
ascertained that the outbreak is due
to impure water. and that all the in
fection came from one spring. This
spring became polluted in some way
and it was nobody's business to OBJ
serve it's condition. The penalty for
this indifference to health is the cpl
demic
Man is the architect of most of his
misfortunes, he is.directly responsible
for most of the ills that assail him,
and he,is Indifferent to the Fcomfort,
convenience and healthsof his fellows,
He should be compelled by law to re-
frain from polluting streams with sew
age and deleterious matter from in
dustrial plants. 1t should ,beIthe bust
ness of somebody in every community
to examine the water frequently and
give notice of its condition. In short,
every community should take common
sense precautions to make impossible
an outbreak of any preventable dis
ease.
