There is scarcely a State in the
Union which has not devised and
contributed to a most elaborate sys-
tenn of public school education.
Parents in districts where books
must be paid for by the pupil, testify
to the elaborate outfit needed to
equip the average child for it's pub
lie school course.
Recently, in a large Southern city,
parents rebelled at the charges made
for ''extras" for the drawing classes
in the public schools. The super
1uousness of all this high-class edu-
eating is pitiably brought out in the
table reproduced. Children who
were studying algebra had not learn
ed enough of hygiene to keep their
teeth clean; the eyes, surely the
most important organs of the body,
neglected; other physical defects so
great as to make the percentage of
physically defective children half
the number of those attending
school.
The need of soap and water may
be noted in some Of the specified
cases, and will be easily recognized.
The question is this: in our eff

more like colleges, are we not ignor-
ing a great deal which the children
attending may not otherwise ever
learn?
Theoretical hygiene isn't worth
the time it takes to open the book to
find the page, but the sound, practi-
cal doctrine of the cleanliness that
is next to goodness, should be taught
by the schools in large cities.
If we are to have physically and
morally clean men and women, we
must begin to teach them the need
and the beauty of these two sorts of

The Standard Oil Company has
filed a brief opposing the attempt of
the Government to dissolve it, and
claims its right to exist under the

other brief.

PUBLIC sCHOOLs-AND HYGIENE

municipalities are beginning to
realize the fact that, beginning with
the school children, in the matter of
hygienic instruction, is about the
best plan for the spread of whole
some rules Of living.
A canvass, made by physicians in
several cities, brought out the fact
that half the children in attendance
at the public schools were badly in
need of medical attention, and, to
put it plainly, bathing.
This isn't a condition of affairs pc

season seem to have bad case OF
cold feet, because of the failure of the
infants to make any sort OF a show
ing, except beat Jackson out of the
pennant.
The team was a financial as well
as artistic failure in the Queen City,
but that was due, in large measure,
to the fact that the officers of the
club interferred too much with Mana
ger McCay, before he dropped out.
Bernie was a good man. He knows
the game and if given carte blanche,
would have given Meridian a good
season of sport. Not only was Ber-
ME hampered with inferior material,
but he was booted and cuffed around
at the pleasure of the officers of the
association, AS Bernie is Scotch, he
wouldn't stand for this feature of the
game-and there's where the trouble
started.
The magnates should get together
and learn as soon as possible whether

new BUSINESS I5EA
FOR MANUFACTURERS

New York, Dec. 16.-The manufac-
.turers' library, a new idea in business,
has just been opened in Church street
here in the downtown wholesale sec
ton, through the cooperation of
5000 manufacturers throughout the
Statesf
The library, which is designed for
the convenience of buyers and visiting
merchants contains more than $4,000
manufacturers catalogues indexed
and cross-indexed so that any one can
tell in moment what houses manu-
facture the kind of articles one wants.
There is corps of stenographers ON
hand and several private rooms where
the buyer and the manufacturer can
transact private business.
The library is also designed to serve
as temporary headquarters for the
out-of-town visitors, who may even
rent individual desks for temporary
use at a nominal fee. Special facili-
ties are provided for the receipt and
safe delivery of mail or kilograms
sent in care of the library, and the
services of competent stenographers
and typewriters may be obtained at a
small charge for the actual time o.
cupied. More than 5000 manufactur-
ers have thus far filed their cata-
logues and an index system provides
for about 100000 cross references,
showing where to buy anything from
needle to an anchor. It took one
year to get the project in operation

doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed remedies, and by con.

treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a

requires constitutional treatment.
