dred and Nine, though not at all
skilled in athletic tactics or base
ball lore. we have successfully
combated the curves of the State
Examining Board, the questions,
have made the bases in the five
rooms, and each has made his
score to the credit of his Alma
Mater, our own Echo Public
School. Our umpires, the teach.
ers, have rendered fair decisions.
and no one has been found guilty
of stealing bases. A mile stone
has been successfully reached,
even though our motto has been
"Ad astra per aspera."
We, as a Glass are prond of
our achievements of the past,
yet we realize that the future
has much in store for us. Some
one has said, There is a tide in
the affairs of men, but there is
no gulf stream setting forever
in the same direction" We are
anxious for further victories and
we intend to

personal effort the top most

may be reached.

that the world is better for their
having lived in it; may their
several lives prove a blessing
and benediction to their fellow

IBY ZENA HoUSER.

Every institution whether
small or great has a story con.
nected with its origin and growth.
The history of a nation is the
story of its great men and their
brilliant achievements; the his.
tory of school is the story of
it's teachers, its classes, and ev.
cry individual boy and girl con.
nected with it. Tho | have not
the time to delve deeply into
the past, shall try in a brief
way to trace the growth and de.
velopment of the present Glass,
which you see here represented,
the first Glass to formally grad.
uate from the Echo Public
School.
Just nine years ago the chry.
sails of this Glass was formed
and it has been added to and
substracted from until now its
membership consists of the roses
of the class, four girls, and the
thorns, five boys. In 1900 the
Glass contained three of it's
present members, Lawrence
Malcolm, Fee Esteb and Antoine
Cunha. In 1902 Stella McCul.
Tough, Vina Houser and the
writer joined the class; In 1905
Frank Young and Ruth Godfrey
added their names to the roll,
and Willard Atcheson came to us
in 1907. Thus the butterfly from
the chrysalis.
From a little two.roomed
school house during this period
of time, the Echo school build
ing has grown into a five.roomed
structure and its rooms are filled
to overfiowing with happy, joy
Gus school boys and girls, whose
loyalty can never be questioned.
Variety is the spice of life and
our Glass has certainly had its
share of spice in the matter of
teachers. Among the teachers
who have boosted us along the
thorny path of knowledge, we
find the following: Mr.. Mink,
Misses Duncan, Moorehouse,
Pooler, Phillips, Mrs. Flora
Foreman and the later teachers,
Messrs. Cannon and Keller. We
appreciate the efforts and the
kind care which they have given
US, and we are truly grateful for
the aid and assistance they have
rendered without which, this
happy conclusion could not have
been so easily attained.
Perhaps a few statistics con-
cerning my fellow classmates
might interest YOU. The Glass
together weighs just 1854 pounds

The establishment In every state OF

also urged cremation as the ideal
method of disposing OF dead bodies.
declaring that public safety demands
the protection OF the living against
the dead His address was one OF the
most important of the convention.
Speaking on the first proposition.
DR.. Staples said:
What we need greatly is a school
for state medicine. where men may
be trained To be health officers. Then
and not until then will the health OF
the people OF this great country be
safeguarded.
Schools have been established for
special instruction I'm almost every de-
rartment OF medicine except state
medicine. To be sure, We have dc
partments where sanitation is taught
in a general way. and we have the
Rockefeller laboratory for special re-
search. but we need a school where
men may be taught and trained TO be
expert sanitarians.

disease. but should be able TO master

Delicate Operation Performed.
DR.. Fisher. OF Chicago, performed
remarkable brain operation in Grace
hospital, Friday morning assisted by
DIR. Stephen II. Knight OF Detroit The
patient was a boy of eight years, the
sutures of whose skull had closed pre-
maturely with the result that his
brain had not sufficient room for de-
velopmont The operation consisted
in opening up the skull TO allow the
brain To expand,
Dr. Fisher made an I-shaped cut In
the top of the head and found that the
brain pressure from within was :re-
mendous. AS a result OF the cramping,
portion of the brain had already be-
come soft, but this condition will be
remedied if the child lives and the
boy. who otherwise would have been
backward, will be as active mentally
as any normal child.
The lads condition is very critical,
however. and IL is not known vet
whether he will survive.

Ethical Code Amended.
BY practically unanimous vote,
the homeopaths, at the final business
session of the institute. Friday morn
ing, adopted the amendment to the
ethical code. proposed by DR.. James
c. Wood, of Cleveland. permitting doc
tors 10 reveal secrets OF the consulta-
ton room when the protection OF In
nocent parties demands such action.
There was some opposition to the
amendment. but IL was by no means
vigorous, and the celebrity with which
the resolution went through surprised
even its promoters. The action shows
the deep concern with which the dec
tors view the growth of the great
social evil which is wreckIng so many
homes.
Some Of the doctors argued that the
remedy lies rather In legislation than
in q departure from the time-honored
ethics Of the profession. and urged
that the efforts OF the institute be
directed to that end, but the majority
of the physicians stood by DR.. Wood
and carried the day.
when we consider the lives that
are wrecked through this social evil.
when timely warning would have
prevented all the misery and humilia-

riage OF the unfit, we are justified In
