War has been declared throughout

of nation against nation but all the
nations of the earth united in one
mighty army to do battle against a
common enemy, the micrcbe, an ad-

Woolgrowers who have returned
from the recent meeting of tie Ma
tioual Woolgrowers' convention at
Pocateilo, Ilaho, are greatly en-
souraged over prospects of good
prices for the coming wool clip.
The convention at Pocatello was
attended by growers from all over
the country, es well as buyers from
the leading firms in the United
States, making the opportunities
for getting information as to con-
dltions as good as possible to find.

ton, who is at the head of the Bu-
yeau of Animal Industry, is of the
opinion that wool will bring from
IS to 20 cents, basing his predic-
ton upon prices already being Of
fered.
The Poca!cllo convention seems
10 have already brought good re-
suits.
According to DR.. Mcclure, buy
ers were on the ground, keen for
the purchase Of any clips offered
and bidding from Is to 81 cents.
They were anxious by offering the
higher price to keep the wool from !
going into the national war arehouse,
which seems to be an assured sue
sess.

do Justice to yourself or the school the
it should be of the kind that gives elias
tlcity to the stop, glow to the cheek
and sparkle to the eye.
1t is very important that the schoo
building should be properly heated,
lighted and ventilated. The most diff
cult problem ls that of ventilation.
Bu,ldings are often 80 constructed that
proper ventilation is almost impossible.
Light should enter the school room from
the left and rear of the pupils and there
should be at least thirty inches of win
dow surface to each squire foot of floor
space. The walls should be smooth,
painted, and plain surface SO as to
catch "a little dust as possible a'.d iacll-
itate cledning. The seats aud desks
should be the kind to favor the health
ful po,fton of the pupil and at the same
time ronduce to his comfort, To learn,
thee must be concentration OF the mind.
How can anyone concentrate his mind
when he is in bodily discomfort from
heat or cold or an uncomfortable scat,
In this great campaign against the
spread OF disease the teacher plays an
important part. Perhaps no che class
of our citizens can accomplish as much
toward stamping out tuberculosis as can
the teachers who preside oyer sixteen
million pupils. This is certainly a cam
paign of education. Nearly every state
in the Union now has law requiring
inst, uct on in physiology and hygiene in
all of The grades, primary as well as high
school, If it was confined to the higher
grades many would receive no instruc-
ton, as OF the five millions who enter
the primary grade only one milio ever
reach the grammar grade and Of that
million only one quarter OF m lion
ever reach the high school.
Teachers and pupils should be made
to realize that health is the first consid
Grafton, without which education is of
little value. Many educated men have
undergone such strain of exam nation
and study that on leaving school with
their diplomas they were unfit to do the
work for which they had teen educated
Physical education should be taught in
the normal schools 80 the teachers may
become experts in judging the hysical
condition of the children. They could
soon learn the signs OF failing health 50
if pnpil should begin TO fall behind in
his studies the teacher could know whe-
ther it is on account of i'll health or bad
habits. In Massachusetts the pupils are
required to undergo physical examina-
ton at least once year. The teachers
are also supplied with circulars teaching
then how to detect infectious diseases,
alao diseases or defects of the ey", ear,
nose, skin or nervous systems.
Quite perce ntage Of children are de-
fripnt on account of detective eyes and

gp,ous disease TO which school children
are exposed Among the predisposing
causes OF this malady are: First, badly

ENGINEERS FINISH
BUSINESS SESSION
Paper on Small Steam Tur.
bine Calls Out Long
Discussion.

With a professional session this morn
ing the spring meeting of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers was
brought to close.
A paper on Small Steam Turbines. -
by George A. Orrok. of New York. was
discussed at some length. Recently
there has been a great increase in the
use of small turbines, it was stated.
The unwieldy reciprocating pump also
is being steadily supplanted by the
small turbine. Preference is shown for
the impulse type of turbines, il was
said.
The new system of compressed air
pumping as developed from a series OF
experiments made on the EVaugeline,
La, oil fields, was discussed In a paper
by Edmund NJ. Ivens, New Orleans, La
"A New Departure In Flexibility Stay
bolts" a paper by Fl. V. Willie, Phila-
delphia. Pa, was a subject of vital i'm
portance to the railroads on account of
the increasing size and pressure of
boilers.
tSome Properties OF Steam" by Prof.
r. G. II. Heck, New Brunswick, N J..
and 1.-THE Specific Volume OF Saturated
Steam," by Prof. @. II. Peabody, Of
Boston, Mass, were the other papers
discussed at the closing session The
subject OF safety valves, taken up fully
at the New York meeting, was also re-
opened for discussion.

The marriage OF Beck and the school
girl caused considerable talk IN the
