PUBLIC SCHOOLS,

to have but two teachers in the
school at Mathews Court House
one TO act as principal of the
High School and the other to

as a very poor and unfortunate

intention or the business capacity
of the Board. At the same time

the first place there is no room in
the building that will hold the
children who would attend each
grade, and even last year, with
two teachers in the primary grade
both rooms were filled to over
flowing. We do not know
how the funds of the district have
been distributed, and presume
that the Board has made the
very best arrangement under the
circumstances, and the purpose

HARVARD DISTURBED.

A remark credited to President
Roosevelt the other day started Har
ward tongues going at n lively pace
1t was an extraordinary remark cred
tied to the president and, whether he
ever said 1t or not, it had the effect
of starting talk at Cambridge. The
president was reported to have
dropped the remark at Lansing, Mich.
that Gin a year and eleven months
expect to be an active member of the
Harvard organization" The report
caused President Eliot to be inter
viewed, together with others connect
ed with the university.
DR.. Henry Pickering Wolcott senior
member of the Harvard corporation
said president Roosevelt never will
become the head of Harvard univer
sity as long as Charles N Eliot is
alive" DR., Wolcott continued, declar
ing the president Is not an academic
man and can never become Harvard's
head. The reported remark was giver
more than ordinary attention dowr
near Boston because of an ambition
which President Roosevelt has beer
reported to have for gaining the presi
dency of Harvard.

reporter is malicious liar and tina

canine which recently went to Neigh
and whose neck was saved when chill
dren of the community took up enough
of collection to pay for a collar and

a share in Rags" there has been a

SOMEBODY ALWAYS PAYS.

Chicken thieves have twice recently
robbed helpless invalid in Norfolk,
belfast victim to disease for three
years past. In the last raid half his
flock was taken. Chicken stealing
with the gang working in and around
Norfolk is a business, but perhaps even
the chicken thieves would halt in their
plumber if they but knew that the vic
tim whom they were about to steal
from was an invalid unable to help
himself. Perhaps there would be less
stealing of all kinds in the world, and
less harshness and selfishness, if the
offenders were but to stop and think,
before each intended misdeed, that
some defenseless person suffers for
every theft, for every wrong that is
done.
1t Is easy to imagine that the chick
en- thieves, and other thieves, go about
their business in a commonplace way,
regarding their work as so much al
most legitimate labor and their spoils
as so much almost genuinely earned
reward. They are no respecters of
persons and their business" is with
out its sentimental side. Perhaps,
| though, if the grief that they cause
could be brought home to them strong
ly enough; perhaps If they could be
made to realize that for every theft
in this world, somebody must lose
there might be different viewpoint
in the matter.
Perhaps, too, if every doer of 8
selfish act were to realize that al
selfshness must have a victim. Their,
would be less suffering from tina
score.
The world is rather selfish, lookin!
out for its own interests in the main
But after all, the pitiful appeal of tn
invalid lying helpless on his bed
against thieves who bring a patheti
hardship upon him, can but toucl
the worst of men, be they chicken
thieves or just ordinary selfish crea
lures, and can but bring home tn
thought that for every unrighteous &C
by which one man gains, some othe
man must pay.

smaller towns, the state ought to pro-
vide a rigid local inspection of all
meat products sold in local shops, as
we'll as dairy products. That would
force the curing of disease or the kill
ing of diseased animals. Otherwise
he will go on getting tuberculosis as
a penalty for the negligence.
The packers side of the story is
presented thus by their secretary:
1.-THE diseased cows to which we
object come from dirty, filthy farms
and 1t naturally follows that the dairy
herds from which most of them come
are diseased. The danger to the pub.
lie by consuming milk and other dairy
products from the tubercular cows and
cows suffering from other diseases
would be appalling If it were gener-
ally known. The farmers who are
responsible for this condition of affairs
have no incentive to keep their farms
clean and their herds free from dis
ease so long as they are paid full
value for diseased animals sent to the
market for slaughter but when cattle
are brought subject to inspection az
ter death every farmer who has been
criminally negligent will Immediately
clean up his place and take measures
to keep disease out of his herd"
DR.. Wiley, chief chemist in the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton, belongs to a 100-year club. In it
a member is disgraced who dies under
the age Of 100. They hold that it is a
disgrace to die from any cause other
than old age.
Surely If we are to approach that
ideal condition when disease shall not
kill, and when only old age shall re-
move us from life, we must provide
for rigid local inspection in every
state on dairy and meat products.
otherwise tubercular herds will go
on with their slaughter of men and
women, boys and girls.

take an understudy from Nebraska's
university, and make him head of the
department, is surely a compliment
to Nebraska university. The Mime
apolls Journal speaks as follows of
Professor Clements:
Professor Frederic Il. Clements,
Ph.D., elected head professor of the
department of botany of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota is strictly Nebras-
ka product as he was born, reared
and educated in the cornhusker state
DR.. Clements birth was in Lincoln
on September 16, 1874. Completing
the high school course in the capital
city of Nebraska, he entered Nebras-
ka university, and was given his de-
gree as a bachelor of science in 1894,
three months prior to his twentieth
birthday anniversary.
Having displayed a marked aptitude
for the study of botany, he decided to
specialize in plant life, and two years
later Nebraska university conferred
upon him his masters degree. Mean
while he had been made an assistant
instructor in the botany department,
becoming an instructor in 1897 A
year later he earned the degree of doc
tor Of philosophy. DR.. Clements pro-
motions as a member of the univer-
sity teaching staff were rapid. He
was made adjunct professor in 1901,
assistant professor in 1908, and full
professor in 1906.
DR.. Clements has been secretary for
several years Of the Nebraska botan-
ical survey; he has written numerous
pamphlets and papers upon botany,
and is joint author with I. S. Cutting
of textbook for the guidance of bot
any teachers. His book on Geology"
| has attracted wide attention. DR..
Charles e. Bessey, head of the depart
ment of botany at Nebraska university
and a man of international fame both
as an educator and botanist, warmly
| indorses DR.. Clements, and bespeaks
| for him full success in his new field
at Minnesota university.
