RAP AT COLONEL BRYAN.

MR. DAVID R. FORGAN, president of a
Il large bank in Chicago, who recently had
verbal tilt with Colonel Bryan in which the
President came out second best, has recovered
his voice that was temporarily lost after Bryan
esque sally.
In an address before the students of the Uni
versity of Chicago, Mr.. Forgan said that he had
listened to Mr. Bryan speak for one hour and
one-half, and there was nothing in the address
which showed that Bryan had the slightest con-
ception of what bank deposit is.
If Mr.. Forgan should hear teacher discuss
the forty-seventh proposition of Euclid he would
probably find nothing in the teachers talk TO
convince him that the teacher knew that six and
three make nine.
Mr.. Forgan should give Mr. Bryan credit for
some intelligence, even though it is not such in
kslllgepse "a Gommsnds itself 10 Mr.. Forgan.

Something that dlscourages youth
something that causes worry to parents
who ought to know better-is that young
people have no early realization OF
strong bent for achievement They hear
about a great musician who showed a
marvellous capacity for playing the piano
or violin or for composing almost In ms
hebyhood; a Napoleon who revealed mill
tary genius before there was down en-
his lip. They have no compelling inspira-
ton driving them to certain work. They
think that without It they can never at

they were TO have the inspiration it would
be at the start
Wen. 999 men out Of 1000 who succeed in
this world have no overwhelming passion
for this or that work. have no leaning
whatsoever toward any particular calling
until after they reach manhood.

Children and School.

Delmar News.
We note with extreme regret the
growing tendency Of the parents in this
town to allow their children to Quit
school at Ia and Is years of age. There
is no earthly excuse Cor it. It is not
done because of financial needs, nor
anything of that nature, but solely and
simply because Jimmy or Willie or Liz
zie become tired Of school and put up
a long face to papa and mamma, with
the result that the parents are foolish
enough to humor them. The children
don't know any better They don't
know how necessary an education is
these days. But the parents do know
and ii is the parents who are to blame
for it. 1t is really surprising the num-
Der Of young people in this town who
cannot read with credit nor write any
thing like a decent hand. In a few
years we will certainly have an edu-
Gated lot Of people if the present sys-
tenn continues.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Active Preparations for the Opening
of the School Year.
SYSTEM OF EYE AND EAR TESTS
Importance of Rules Enforced I'm Chi
cnEO Public schOoIs-Chnnges in
Faculties and Building Inn
prOvements.

A simple and beneficial rule, requiring
eye and ear examinations of pupils at the
opening of the school year, has been en-
forced in the public schools of Chicago for
several years. Not much noise is made
Of this feature OF school work, being per-
formed by the teachers, yet 1t may be
questioned If any school days work pro-
duces equal permanent good for the child.
These examinations were introduced eight
years ago by DR.. Frank Airport, consult
ing eye and ear surgeon of the Chicago
Board of Education. A system of tests
were provided which teachers apply, sepa-
rately and privately, to members Of their
class, and the results reported to headquar-
ters. An examination can be completed in
five minutes, so that a teacher can readily
complete the examination Of a class in
half a day.
This plan Of examination is rapidly find
ing favor in the United States. 1t has been
in operation in Europe for many years and
is a part of the work of the government
schools in India. The cost is slight. The
charge for printing 1000 charts is about
$40, and in Chicago. a city of more than
100000 inhabitants. the yearly expense
would not exceed $500. The entire appro-
~priation for the state of Vermont in this
matter is but 5000 annually. 1t is not a
matter OF expense at all. but rather a plan
requiring a little intelligent work.
In discussing the plan in vogue in Chi
cago, DR.. Airport is quoted by the Record
Herald:
1T should never be forgotten that
there are in the United States about co.
100000 school children; that about
5000, 900 of such children suffer from
some ear, nose or throat disease, which
also impedes their school progress and
that a vast majority of such abnormal
conditions can be either cured or ma
terially alleviated by early medical in
reference, and will become chronic or jn-
durable If neglected. There are in this
country about 10000, 900. or 80 per cent

|4THR WONDAaQEf6CHOMS y COLLEGES NJ.

Of school children suffering from some
eye. ear, nose or throat disease which
can be easily detected and generally cured
IL the public health authorities will only
decree that this work be done. 1t is not
hard to do. 1t is not expensive. II is in
no way Objectionable. II can be easily
and effectively accomplished.
1T may also be Of interest to know the
financial aspect Of the situation, as this
phase of the problem will often exert II
potent influence when all others fail, and
the fact that the people of the United
States nave about $500. 900, 900 invested in
public schools may add a dignity to the
situation and stimulate a desire to have
the visible representation of this immense
amount of money managed in the best
possible manner, which is quite impossible
unless the school children of this country
are in good physical condition.
TT may also interest student of
sociology to know that there ara In the
United States over $780, o blind people,
many of whom would not have become
blind If their disabilities had been de-
tected during school life, and that 1t costs
the public in the neighborhood of $15,-
600, 10000 to care for these un~fortunates.
Reducing the question, then, to the mere
sordid standard Of money, is it a matter
of public economy to neglect the eyes Of
school children?
The physical condition of our chill
dren reaches down to the very substitute
ture and foundation of society. The boy
Of today becomes the man of tomorrow,
to whom we and the succeeding genera
tions must look for the Advancement and
prosperity of our country. The child can
not act for himself. and often the parent
is equally helpless or careless. 1t be-
hooves us, therefore, who have such mat
ters in charge, to act for him, and to act
wisely and well. His physical and moral,
as well as his intellectual status and prog
ress should be closely watched and
guarded, and probably no avenue through
which he can be reached is so important
and accessible as the public school. Here
he spends most of his waking hours, and
1t is here hat his body, mind and heart
should be under strictest surveillance. The
school requests, nay, enforces, his at
tendance, and volunteers to superintend the
unfolding of his young life in its critical
period. 1t is, then, the obvious duty of
school teachers and authorities to note we'll
their important and self-assumed obliga-
lions, and to give the child the benefit
of the best and most modern thought and
judgment upon this sacred and important
subject. Our schools undoubtedly provide
opportunities for great intellectual ad-
vancement, and 1 believe that their general

of course, are intended only as step toward


achievements of the deepest human import
It has long been known that an organ like the
| heart of a turtle, for instance, can be kept ac-
lively at work contracting or secreting, even
when lifted entirely out of the body, SO long as
an abundant supply of blood or of salt solution
is poured into its vein and out again through its
artery. vice versa, according to the organ.
BY connecting the great artery of the turtles
heart with it's principal vein by means of
curved glass tube the heart can be made to
pump It's own blood round and round in its
shortened circulation and kept beating for days
Therefore. If only some safe and effective means
can be found of joining the cut ends of arteries
and veins together in such way that they will
unite there is nothing to prevent the trans
ference of an organ with It's blood vessels from
one body to another.
Partial success has already been accomplished
in this extraordinary feat. The organ selected
has been the kidney. on account of the readiness
with which 1t be removed from the body
without injury serious damage to other vital
structures. In six or seven cases the kidney OF
a cat dog has been removed under anes-
thesia from the body and. grated on to pair
of blood vessels of corresponding size in the
body of another cat or dog. At recent meet
ing of one OF the New York scientific bodies,
month ago. there was shown a photograph
of a cat which had then been living for three
weeks with both kidneys of another cat substi-
tuted for its own.
The cat was standing table. reaching up
to play with the hand of the nurse, who was
patting it the head Its tail was curled. its
back was arcfed. It's expression was affabe-we
had almost said 'smilins"-and it looked the
picture of health and comfort. This cat lived
three weeks and then died the result of an
accident. Another which had had similar
transformation scene enacted in its interior, was
still living and in perfect health four weeks
after the transfer. Such success. partial il
is does seem 10 suggest az least the possibility
some day of human beings being not only able
to give their blood for their country but one Of
such OF their vital organs as come IN pairs for
the lives OF their loved ones:-CoilieT's Weekly.
