CURRENT COMMENT
Insanity as a Disease.

The Illinois state board of charities
has led of, and other agencies have
followed, in an earnest effort to remove
from the general public what is termed
its medieval superstition that in
sanity is a disease, and to impress on
the legal authorities, rs well as on the
public in general, chat really insane pa
tents should not be treated as Grimm
ais. but rather as unfortunates-in brief
as sick people. To this concerted effort,
mainly, is attributed the conference
between Judge Rinaker Of Chicago and
representatives Of the state board OF
charities and eminent medical men; and,
in the natural course Of things, Judge
Rinaker's decision to give the medical
commission plan a thorough trial.
Under this plan, patients are to be
examined By a commission composed of
competent medical practitioners, who
shall pass upon cases, and whose deci-
sion shall be official and, to all intents
and purposes, authoritative. The work.
ing of the plan is likely 10 be watched
with interest far beyond the confines Of
Illinois. Experts salready haze pro-
nounced its adoption an important adj
vance in the modern treatment Of in
sanity, which. they argue, like every
other disease, should be attacked with
vigor in its incipient stage.-Manches-
ter Union.

A cLAsHING OF SCHOOL AUTHoRI-
TIES.

TIES.
While ii is admitted that school prin-
cipals are not infallible in their judg-
ment in any and all situations. they must
be given some credit, and their views are
worthy OF respect, some town school
commissioners to the contrary notwith-
standing. There has arisen in the town
Of Woodstock a dissension between the
principal Of the high school and two Of
the three commissioners over the punish
ment melted out to an ls-years-old stu
dent for alleged characterization. The
student was first expelled and then al.
lowed to become reinstated at the be-
ginning Of the next term Of school, the
principal complying with the change of
order. Then came the school commits
sioners in their might and without con
ferring with the principal they reinstated
the refractory student at once. Natur-
ally, such an action tended to break
down whatever discipline the principal
may have had over the school, and he
promptly resigned ANY seIf-respecting
man would have resigned under those
conditions, too.
It is possible that the punishment of
expulsion from school was too severe in
the first place for the size of the offense
but the teacher compromised the matter
by agreeing to let the student return
after a period Of suspension from school
That should have seen the end Of the
matter, but selfassertiye majority of
the school board, forgetting perhaps that
the aims and purposes of the parents
and the teacher are the same, although
their methods may vary, directly ignored
the immediate authority of the teacher
over the pupil and sent the young man
back to the schoolroom to the discomft
ure of the one person who signifies that
authority which is sometimes so badly
needed. And the refractory student. as
well as all the others, now knows that
he has possible ally whenever he feels
disposed to combat the authority Of
the school principal, no matter who the
principal may be. OF course, the author
ity of the school board as representative
Of the citizens is higher than that of
the man whom it hires, but that author
ity does not justify the board in riding
rough-shod over his rulings.

rhe Harm q the Road auto Rsce.

II would seem to be time for the auto
mobile manufactures not to speak about
the automobile clubs TO consider whether
such so-ealled endurance race as was
run from New York TO Boston last Thurs
day and has aroused storm of popular
protest all along the route, is worth
while. As the Meriden tCtl Record puts
it. that affair has left rocks of prejudice
and bottles Of ill.wilH all along the
way. OF course, the trouble about such
a reckless affair as this one is that 1t
begets in the minds Of the people sense
Of total insecurity ia their use Of the
public highways. These ware not con
structed for racing purposes, and their
occupancy for such use must in some
way be stopped. The buyers Of automo-
bies viii serve themselves by convincing
the manufacturers Of the machines that
these races must be stopped. Laying
aside the matter or the public peril in
volved. it is perfectly clear that the
rapid passage OF these machines over the
state highways at this time of the year
has done irreparable harm. Yet the av-
erage automobile club not only witnesses

GIBBs-HoPPER. AT the pretty home

high noon Monday, his charming daugh-
ter, Miss Camelle Hopper, was mar
ried to Mr.. Harry Drake Gibbs, of
Pittsburg, Pa, chemist in the gov

Islands. Rev. w. S. Willis, the brides
pastor, performed the ceremony, which
was most beautiful and impressive
one. The ring was used. The bride,
who is one of the most highly accom-
plished and universally admired young
women in this entire section. was
gowned in handsome creation of white
satin and wore bridal veil She car
ried huge bouquet of brides roses.
She was an exceedingly pretty bride
and the gentleman who had won her

proud of her. The groom wore the
conventional black. After the cere-

were through with, an elegant lunch.

the subject Of much regret. She will
be missed in all circles and especially
will her absence be felt by the mem.
bers of the Christian church. in which
she was a most earnest worker. Mr..
and Mrs. Gibbs were the recipients of
large number of handsome presents,
attesting TO some extent the high es-
TEEN in which they are held.
