enough? Have school people done all
their duty when they have admitted
the school physician and the school
nurse to the sacred precincts of the
schoolroom, when they have sent out
the warning notices to the parents?
"Supposing that all defects have
been discovered and remedied, so that
school life goes on without its aches

next year and the next and forever?
The Massachusetts, law says that every
child shall be examined annually for
defects and disabilities. There Is no
statute Of limitations. Is there any
hope Of limitation? Is there any mode
of limitation? Or is the social mill to

Dealing in the advance in personal
and domestic hygiene, Mr.. Martin re-
cords signs of hopeful progress. He
finds that the ignorance of the laws
of health and conditions Of health is
less dense than 1t once was is un.
doubtedly true" The educational
forces that have brought about this
change are many-the medical pro.
fession, the press, discussion In
women's clubs and the influence of the
public schools. The teaching of physi.
ology and hygiene in many schools he
thinks Is good.
"To-day the physicians, general and
special, are more alive to the needs
OF the times than are the school peo-
pie. No permanent results Of the pres
ent agitation for better sanitary con-
ditlons, domestic and public. can be
hoped for unless the schools cooperate
with all the other agencies. The uni.
versal need is for the higher order
Of intelligence respecting the things
that make for health and the founda.
ton of such intelligence must be laid
in the schools"

A living death Is life without in.
centive. The man or woman who Is
purposeless, has no responsibility, is
producing nothing, is merely feeding
the physical senses, is missing the
meaning of existence and forfeiting
the real Joy Of living. The quickest
and surest way Of firing of the world
Is to concentrate thought on self.
Those who have nothing to think of
but self carry wearisome burden.
In the news columns daily we read Of
the disasters that befall purposeless
people. Every city every day has Its
quota Of suicides from this cause.
The burden Of mere self becomes so
heavy men and women take their lives
to escape 1t. To temporarily free
their minds Of the stress Of irresponsl-
bility others drink themselves into the
gutter. There is deal Of wretched,
ness from this cause. THE world Ia
full Of such number Of things that !
am sure we should all be happy as
kings, the poet sang, and very truly
For one has only to look about with
seeing eyes to find things to do that
are worth while doing. Evasion OF
responsibility is rank cowardice, and
makes for an empty life. If time
weighs heavily upon you, get busy!
Adopt baby. Go conservatively into
debt Interest yourself In the strug.
gle of some fellow worse off than you
are. Get married. Devise some
means of affecting an equitable tariff
Discover new star. Find a cure for
cancer Scheme plan by which the

tiles. Discover a substance which

Write something which will make men
think less Of selfish gain and more OF
brotherly love. These are suggestions
and "the world is full of such q
number of things" that one need not
think long before discovering an
agreeable hobby. Do something and
be happy.

Profane Bird Hauled Out of a Tree

On the sixteenth day of the eleventh
month-which was January by "old
style"-of the year 1886 there was pre-
sented to the town of Salem, Mass,
a petition by Debora Holmes that she
might have a piece of land allotted
to her in that town. The record of
what answer was made to her request
runs as follows: "Debora Holmes re-
fused Land (being maid) but hath
four bushels of Corn granted her, one
by Mr.. Endecot, one by Mr.. Stileman,
one by John Woodbury., and one by
Mr.. Verrin, and would be bad presi.
dent to keep hous alone" The prece-
dent has Jared hardly at the hands OF
posterity. What large, empty places
would be left to-day in the life of vii.
lage and town If the maids-old and
young-who keep house alone were
warned OUT after the fashion of our
stern forefathers! The saint Of the
town Is almost sure to be a spinster
She is the dispenser of cookies and
maple-sugar to her youthful admirers
She does up the hurt fingers and wipes
away the tears Of disappointment from
childish eyes. She is the first to be
told of the lovers happiness, and is
the most desired consoler in the house
OF mourning. We cannot know ex.
actly what Debora Holmes did with
her four bushels Of corn, which must
have been a poor substitute for home
OF her own. But one might guess that
she planted 1t on some sunny New
England hillside, and that 1t sprang
up in rich crop of kind deeds and
wise words and loving thoughts, which
Debora passed on to all her maiden
sisters for the cheer and comfort Of
mankind.

article entitled "A Lesson
From Medical Inspection Of Schools" !"
published In the Psychological Clinic,

tary Of the Massachusetts board Of
education.
The medical inspection of children
In schools has been so beneficial, ac-

through its proper authorities for a
thorough-going inspection of It's schools
Is guilty of criminal negligence" He
points to the discovery that out Of

aminations as throwing much light

Concerning the immediate results of
the examinations he writes:
Then we consign the unfortunates
to the care Of the family physician,
send them to the public dispensary or
the public clinic, or send the school
nurse to look after the cases In the
home, and by these means we patch
up few. Some glasses are provided,
some teeth cleaned and filled, some
adenoids removed, and many children
begin to know the joy of living.
