10 learn precisely how the large sums

It's death rate. Not so many people
die here now as died in 1906, the year
when the new department began its
organized work. The citizens OF
Pennsylvania, especially It's little chill
dren. stand better chance than they
formerly did of reaching mature life
and green old age. Mortality sta.
tistics do not commonly furnish ex-
citing reading. but, when considered
from this point OF view, they make
an emphatic personal appeal Thus.
in 1906 and 1907, the death rate in
II IeHHS ylNdUld per InOubdnO OI pOpuld-
tion was 1875; in 1908. 1t had dropped
to 1871, and In 1909 to 1873 At first
glance this may not seem remark
able diminution. but in a state with a
population of more than 100000 even
a fractional decrease is a substantial
gain. This appears when one figures
precisely what this slight numerical
drop means in the actual saving OF
human lives. Had the death rate OF
1906 and 1907 prevailed in 1908. pre-.
cisely 5519 more people would have
died than actually succumbed. Had
this same rate applied in 1909, instead

men. women and children now living
and presumably in good health and
spirits, would have rendered their
final tribute TO nature. In other
words these matter of fact statistics,
when interpreted in their real rela-
ton to the welfare and happiness of
the state. mean the saving to the state
OF 13,907 lives.

Owing to the fact that the NEWS has
by great odds the largest circulation
OF any newspaper in the County, and
that it goes into the homes of large
majority of families of both the lead
ing political parties, candid ates, wheth
er Democrat or Republican, who want
their names prominently before the
people, will find it to their advantage
to place their announcement card in
this column.

18th Congressional District:
At the Republican primary elec

In the last five years the state of
conservation work of an extremely
important and fundamental kind. With
President Roosevelt it believes that
the preservation of the peoples nat
ural resources should begin with the
preservation of the people themselves.
The public cannot conscientlously per
NIT the wasteful sacrifice of its forests
and its other forms of natural wealth,
bur even less conscientiously can 1t
permit the wantom sacrifice of its
children's lives.
In maintaining a fully equipped
state health department and engaging
on a large scale In this great warfare
against disease, Pennsylvania has TAX
en- a foremost stand for real modern
civilization. The creation Of govern
mental agencies for the preservation
of the public health marks new con-
ception of governmental responsible
ity. The work thus far marks only
the beginning-merely suggests the
good which this department, under
the direction of Dr. Samuel G. Dixon,
the commissioner, has in view
In the last thirty years the atti-
tude of the public towards Ill health
has radically changed. Until the re-
searches of that resourceful genius,
Louis Pasteur, disclosed the real
cause Of contagious diseases, the aver
age mans conception was practically
that which had prevailed in the mid
die ages. The infections were merely
manifestations of the inscrutable
wisdom of Providence, expressions of
divine wrath; punishments for sinful
human kind. Even the scientist re-
garded them as fundamental facts of
nature, like death itself. which every.
one must uncomplainingly accept Pas.
teur however. in a few mastery ex.
periments, brushed aside all this liz.
norance and superstition. He showed
that all contagious diseases had a
clearly defined and obvious origin
They were not mysterious visitations
without tangible cause and insuscep.
tible to tangible control. They were
caused by an infinitely large universe
of infinitely small forms of vegetable
| and animal life. He demonstrated
that the connection between these
malevolent micro-organisms and the
ensuing disease was as close as that
between sunlight and heat. And ht
also Immediately drew the inevitable
conclusion II the world were once

It would be rid Of contagious diseases

This was the goal at which Pasteur
aimed; that has been the goal at
which all movements for improving

aimed since. And this was the ulti.

COUNTRY WORK IMPROVING
Development in Teaching
Throughout State, Says
J. Kelly Wright.

THE nearer schools are to Column
bia. the poorer they are" said j. Kelly
Wright, county superintendent this
morning. THAT sounds strange,
know, but it is a fact. / account for
it because of the fact that those liv-
ing near Columbia attend school in
town, and they are generally tenants
and not land owners. Their interest
in the district school is not as great
because of this condition.
1.-THE county schools are gradually
developing, however. Two schools of
the 125 in Boone county have fur
naces. Other schools are planning
such improvements. The time is com.
ing when the district school will be
the social center of the community. A
large room should be set aside for pub
lie meetings, for old-time spelling
matches and the like. | draw the line
on debates
why are you opposed TO them ?"
he was asked.
For the simple reason that ordinar-
lily there are too many whisky bottles
and too much carousing mixed with
the affair. The teacher or janitor has
to clean house next day Spelling
matches are really educational. The
old time public exercises OF declama-
tons and readings are passing away.
THE Christmas exercises now con-
sist in giving of candy, oranges, and
nuts at the teachers expense. The
old custom of elaborate entertain
ments and Christmas trees is rarely
carried out any more. A reason for
it. l suppise, is that the teachers do
not get as much as they should. Boone
county teachers are better paid than
the average. The general average
hereis SOAPS for men and $52.5S for
women.
-Four years ago, the average was
$o2 for men and SAP for women. TIL
lowest average in Missouri last wear
was In Dent county, 1872 a month
