Bubonic Plaque.

San Francisco is dealing in the righl
way with the present outbreak of the
bubonic plague. Five years ago, when
cases of this terrible disease occurred
in San Francisco, there was, for a time
at least, disposition to conceal and
minimize the epidemic; but experience
soon showed, as has been proven en-
phatically in yellow fever visitations
in the south, that the way to fight dis
ease is to fight it openly, and that the
way to avoid panic is to publish hon.
est and complete reports, says the
Outlook. DR.. Rupert Blue, of the
United States public health service,
is in charge of the present fight with
the plague, and is vigorously enforcing
modern, scientific methods. While the
ratio of deaths to cases is absolutely
large, it is less than has been noted
in epidemics elsewhere, and the sys-
tenn of serum injection is regarded as
of value. The terrible mortality usu-
ally attendant upon bubonic plague is
Offset in some measure by the fact
that its spread is slow. 1t is believed
that infection is largely caused by
rats, and that from them it is spread
in many cases by fieas, which carry
the germs of the disease Every effort
is being made to extirpate the plague
bearing vermin. Twelve government
surgeons, IL San Francisco physicians,
40 sanitary inspectors, and a large
force of laborers are working with sci
entific intelligence and skill to conquer
the black death"
Gilpin observer., 1907-11-14

The British youth of the present
generation is not in quite so bad a
way as the recent discussions of physi-
cal deterioration would indicate. At.
tention was lately called to the inter-
esting condition revealed by study
OF the measurements of the schoolboys
at Marlborough for the past 20 years
The 14-year-old boys of 1906 are five
pounds heavier and one and one-half
inches taller than boys OF the same
age in 1886, and the 16-year-old boys
are eight pounds heavier and three
fourths OF an inch taller. A halter
who provides hats for the boys in six
schools says that few years ago he
rarely was asked for a hat 211a inches
in circumference, but now he is fire.
quently called upon for hats an inch
larger. 1t is not at all unlikely that
the revelation of the poor physique of
the British youth that followed the
Boer war recruiting aroused parents
to sense OF the Importance of getting
their boys into the fresh air, where
they could take n proper amount Of
wholesome exercise.

Classics in the Modern School.

Classics In the Modern School.
Ny subject raises two questions. ont
OF which depends on the other: l.
Should the classic form part of mod
ern education? 2. If so, what parts
1t is not safe to assume the an.
swer yes to the first question, because
we are so often urged to do away with
the classics on the ground that to
study them is useless; l must, there
fore, briefly consider both questions.
writes DR.. Rouse, headmaster of Perse
school, Cambridge, in the National Re-
view. What is meant by useless?
Some persons mean that which cannot
be turned to direct account in wage
earning. That view is the common
view of the parents of our boys, and 1t
underlies most of the criticisms of ed
ucation which we read in the press.
Take the IDEAL which seems to be
dearest to the heart of the public, to
sit on an office stool for 40 years and
then have a pension; for such a life
nearly every study is useless in the
accepted sense. OF what use to the
government clerk are history, litera-
ture, algebra, Euclid, Scripture, ge-
ography-this we know on high au-
thority is useless also to the diplo-
mat and the ambassador-not to men,
tion French, German, Latin or Greek?
To be consistent boy ought to spend
all his time on the three Rs, precis,
and tots, and his parents would expect
him to save five years and be ready at
12 years Of age for the civil service
But l need say no more. In it's ex-
treme, this wage-earning fallacy is
ridiculous; it is, however, the hardest
of our tasks to convince the people at
large that this is so.
Gilpin observer., 1907-11-14

The sooner the young
man dealing with men
