BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong idea of the Sound to Be
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently
passed away, was universally respect
ed by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de-
light, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following :
with a great deal of interest:
When very small boy. he asked his
father to let him go with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by tax on every property
holder. Whatever of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
of the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an eX-
tinguisher and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
"Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his
squeaky voice. Mr.. Moderator,
make motion that we remove the
sound from under the board"

Society and Education.

IN OTde, to express the Significance
of the recent Social Education Con-
gress, which was held in Boston, the
broadest possible definitions OF so
cial' and education" are necessary.
Heretofore educational problems have
been Ieft largely to teachers and ex-
perts in pedagogy. This congress was
not a teachers meeting, but confer
ence Of leaders in all departments OF
life. The variety of the subjects dis
cussed and the many interests repre-
scented by the speakers showed that
real education touches life at every
point, says the Youths Companion;
that. as wise men have always felt,
education Is the development in all
possible ways OF the individual and ct
the unit iD society. The business man
explained what he demanded Of the
schools that are sending him young
clerks and workmen. The man Of pub
lie affairs showed what the schools
should do for the boy and the girl
who are 70 vote. From the laboring
man. through a union leader. came
the message of the experienced work
man to those in charge Of the matur-
ing boy who is soon to choose trade.
Physicians and specialists in physical
culture pleaded for the care of the
body, for education which should
teach respect for the finely organized
instrument OF thought and labor
From the churches preachers Of many
denominations spoke the word for
spiritual culture in all education Of
the hands and the brain. Public IL
brarians traced the relation of their
institution to the schools. Banker,
president of public service company,
manufacturer, tradesman, professor,
psychologists these in some way
asserted the great truth that educa-
tion is not merely the concern Of spe-
cialists, it is everybody's business, for
it is related To every part Of every
mans life. Once this is realized, our
schools will be Vitalized as never be-
fore.

MYSTERIOUS DEATHS.
Entire Family Of Edward Dardinia
Winei Out.

Calgary, Alberta, Jan. 21.-A trag-
edy, the details Of which will never
be known, has wiped out the entire
family Of Edward Dardinia. proprietor
of tannery. The police broke into the
house and found Ferdinand dead in
bed, the body of newly born infant
at his side, while the dead body Of
Mrs. Ferdinand lay on the floor near
the body. In another bed were two
young boys, still alive, but SO severely
frozen that they soon died. The suppo-
sition is that the family was overcome
by the coal gas, that the wife recov'
cred sufficiently to attempt to fix the
pipes and died. The boys probably
were overcome by gas and recovered
only to be frozen.

Health of School Children.

The growing interest taken in Ger
many in the health of school children
is evidenced by the appointment of
1S school physicians. in Munich and
in Elberfeld Many other cities have
followed the example of Wiesbaden,
which in 1896 was the first to appoint
school doctor. In WuTtemberg the
authorities have even extended the
system to the high schools. In Aus
tria it has just been ordered that
candidates for teachers positions
must be examined in the subject of
school hygiene. Throughout Germany
efforts are being made to equip
the teachers of the lowest grades of
the public schools in matters of
health. The installation of shower
baths in each school is being carried
out as matter of course. wherever
this is possible. Two cities have al
