ADJUSTMENTS.
Closing Week at the Bijou.

The closing week of the present summer season at the Bijou theatre will begin to- morrow night. A double bill will be of tered to theatregoers. For the first half of the week the offering will be ''Thelma'' and for the last half of the week Ten Nights in. a Barroom." The Baldwin Melville company has made many friends In Birmingham by the excellent perform ances it has given at the Bijou. The com pany is made up of versatile players variety of attractions. The company has put on a little of everything, from light comedy to the heaviest melodrama, and the results as a whole have been sur prisingly good. The performances from week to week have reacled high plane of excellence and the attendance has been gratifying.
 The summer season has proved most successful in every way, both from an ar tistic and financial point of view, and the Baldwin Melville company has still further increased it's popularity in Bir- mingham. The noteworthy feature of this engagement has been the elaborate man rer in which each of the plays offered to theatregoers was staged. The scenery in every case was entirely new and painted to order. Most of this work was done at the Bijou by George Boesel, young artist who has a brilliant future befoi e him. Some of the settings used will be remembered as among the prettiest ever shown at the Bijou. All the plays were staged under the personal direction of Walter S. Baldwin, who also had the ar- duous task of rehearsing the company from week to week. MT. Baldwin has won universal praise for the careful way in which his productions were put on at the Bijou. No expense was spared to get the best results

FACTS FOR TEACHERS.
State Board of Health Issues an I'm
portant Bulletin.

The November bulletin of the state
board of health is in the form of a spe-
cial edition for the school teachers now
holding their annual state meeting in
Topeka, and contains a world Of useful
information and rules on hygiene and
health and prevention of the spread OF
disease. especially tuberculosis.
Vital statistics on contagious diseases
for the state for November of this year
a reported to the board are as fol-
lows: tuberculosis, IS cases; SO deaths.
Typhoid fever, 70 cases; % deaths
Diphtheria, SO9 cases: IS deaths. Meas
les. IA cases; no deaths.
During November. 1907. there We're:
tuberculosis, 81 cases; "a deaths. Ty-
phoid fever, 175 cases; "a deaths. Diph-
iberia. 200 cases; q deaths. Scarlet
fever. 124 cases: Z deaths. Smallpox 81
cases; no deaths. Measles, 81 cases; no
deaths.
From this report it will be noticed
that out of 352 cases of smallpox, form
eriy a dreaded disease, there was not a
single death, while the death rate was
very high in the other four diseases.
The last twenty-one pages In the
bulletin are devoted exclusively to the
subject of prevention of disease in the
public schools, especially tuberculosis
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-12-30

This matter is handled in detail under
separate headings for each depart
ment. In introducing the subject the
bulletin says:
''One of the most valuable exhibits at
the congress was that exhibited under
the auspices of the Boston Association
for the Relief and Control of Tubercu-
losis, which illustrates what may be
done in an educational way through
our public school system in teaching
measures and means of prevention OF
tuberculosis The lessons are so simple
as to be readily understood by the
smallest child. yet the principles OF
hygiene are so forcefully presented as
to arrest the attention and approval OF
the most thoughtful teacher, parent, or
sanitarian.
1T is urgently recommended that
these lessons be adopted as part OF
the curriculum of the schools in this
state during the coming year"

GLEED MAY STAY.
Did Not Forfeit Seat on Board of Edu-
cation by Removal From Ward.

J. W. Gleed has not forfeited his seat
on the school board by his removal from
his ward. Attorney General Jackson
has decided that a member of the board
of education in a city of the ffrst-class
does not vacate his Office by removing
from the ward by which he was nomi-
mated. Members are elected by the votes
of the whole city. Attorney General
Jackson says;
Il give it as my opinion that the re-
moval of a member of the board of ed
ucation from the ward in which he was
elected to another ward of the city, does
not forfeit his office.
I'm the decisions upon this question
we have followed the rule that unless
forfeiture of office is absolutely proYid-
ed for by statute, on a removal OF an
officer from the precinct or wherever
he was elected, that a forfeiture does
not occur. We have so held concern
ing the removal of a member of the
board of education in city of the sec
ond-class. There is no difference in
the statutes, except that in cities of the
second-class the statute does not pro-
vide as 1t does in cities of the first
class that members of the board shall
be and remain residents of the wards
from which they are elected during
their term of office. In my opinion, the
words remain a resident of the ward
during the time for which he was elect
ed are not sufficient to authorize a
forfeiture of the office of a member be-
cause of his removal from the ward
from which he was elected.

precedent in this respect. Among
the bills discussed were those estab-
fishing the new Board of Health. pro-
