Universal education means that

in comparison with the mental pow

thus be aided in discovering the
work for which he is best fitted, and

interest in the management of the
affairs about the farm this interest
should be encouraged in every pos
sible way. Very early in life the boy
might come to have a small financial
interest In the work of the farm.
Many farm fathers who have tried
the plan are free to say that no in
vestment ever brought better re-
turns.
A little patience, much tact and
Judgment, much partnership between
elders and the young have held the
children to natural, healthful and
prosperous work, with contentment
as an ever present factor. Compare
the freedom of body and soul that
can be given child in a sensibly
conducted farm home, with the
cramped unnatural conditions of life
offered in the city. The child does
not fly to the city because Of the at
tractive glare Of the lights there;
but because OF the repugnanca and
dread within his own heart of the
unmeaxurable barrenness and mo-
notony of the farm home and its sur
roundings.

element and confusion of the acct
dent are seldom satisfactory.
SpIfnts Ever Ready.
In the interest of speed and eff
cheney the chief surgeon of one of the
largest railway systems in the coun-
try recently issued to his corps of 500
surgeons along the line a supply of
splints, which he had ordered made
according to his own ideas. These
splints are 80 inches long and are COM
posed Of three strips, each three
fourths of an inch wide. These strips
are glued to shellaced muslin, so they
will be waterproof. If the broken
bone is a thigh, the full length. three
piece splint is used; if a finger, one
of the three-fOurth inch segments is
cut off to the desired length. If the
fracture is a forearm two of the seq
ments are sufficiently wide. BY having
the splints made in strips they can
be rolled together into small compass
and easily carried by straps. like head
less golf sticks. When the three seq
ments are used they can be made to
conform to the curvature of the limb,
as there are interstices of an eighth OF
an inch between each of the segments.
Few Instruments Carried.
A railroad surgeon never attempts
to carry many instruments in an emer-
gency box, as amputation of limbs al
the scene of a wreck is never impera-
tive. One chief surgeon, who had been
handling wrecks for more than 30
years, gave the following isolated case
of an amputation at the scene Of the
accident: A brakeman had fallen be-
tween two freight cars while his train
was going up a mountain side. The
chief surgeon, who was a passenger
on a passing train saw the fall and
rushed to the mans side. Both of the
latter's legs had been crushed below
the knees and when he was lifted to
a stretcher his two feet hung merely
by the skin. The only thing to be
done was to stop the flow of blood.
This was accomplished by twisting two
pairs Of suspenders around the sew
cred stumps. The feet were useless,
and so the surgeon, taking out his
pocketknife, cut off the encumbering
members. The man recovered

remark: "Oh, Jim knows better than

resulted in a collision.
Testing for Blindness.
Today the testing for color blind
ness comes under the supervision of
the chief surgeon He conducts a rigid
examination of every man who applies
for admission to the service. or who
comes up for promotion to a position
in which eolOrs have any bearing upon
the safety Of passengers or employees.

ISOLATION of Railway Surgeons which
is now in annual session in Chicago.
While the great trunk lines daily are
adopting the most improved methods
for safeguarding their passengers and
crews, they are at the same time max

negligence or unavoidable circum-
stances, the toll of life and limb is
taken. Today every important rail-
way system in the country maintains

cages which remain unused
At the last session of congress a
bill was introduced by a member of
the house which provided that every
train engaged in interstate traffic
must be equipped with an emergency
box. The bill never was enacted into
a. law, as the opposition was very
keen. Among the arguments advanced
against the measure was the statement
that in case of wreck the emergency

most potent argument against the box.
however. was that it would be broken
open continuously by trainmen to get
bandages for minor wounds and that
when real emergency arose it would
be found that the bandages had be-
come infected. This dangerous fact
would be overlooked from time to time
by quasi-physicians, who, in their
haste to render aid, would use unclean
bandageS, thus producing Infection in
wounds which might otherwise yield
readily to treatment The opponents of
the emergency box urged that compe-
tent physicians always reach the scene
of a wreck within a short time after
the disaster. and that the only thing
to be done in the meantime is the
staunching of the flow of blood, and
that dressings applied during the ex-
