The Tuberculosis Exhibit.

An interesting tuberculosis exhibit
and one covering the subjects of rural
and school hygiene, has been sent over
from Augusta by Sec. Young of the
State Board of Health. The exhibit,
which is in charge of Miss Mary
Creighton of Augusta, is attractively
arranged in the common council
chamber and the southerly end of the
hall on the second floor. Many of the
pictures and diagrams, particularly
those relating to tuberculosis, are the
same shown at the State House during
the session of the last Legislature.
1T is largely through the education
al work which has been done in Maine
during the past 10 or Is years that the
death rate from tuberculosis has been
reduced Sc per cent since 1892" said
Miss Creighton Thursday. THE
deaths from the disease in this State
numbered 1852 that year In 1909
they were but S30."
In the school hygiene exhibit much
attention is paid to the open air
schools for tubercuar children which
have been conducted with so much
success in Boston, Providence and
other New England cities. The i'm
portance of children who are afflicted
with the disease being segregated
from those who are healthy, is urged.
The rural hygiene exhibit puts par
tlcular stress upon the danger of dis
ease from polluted wells and from
carelessness in the disposal of waste
matter. The subject of water infec-
ton is gone into at some length.

Interesting Case Before
j. S. Supreme Court.
NAY wife Sue for Damages Il
Husband Beats Her?
Decision Will Affect Many States
including Maine.

Washington. Oct. 27-If q husband
heats his wife till she is bruised and
bleeding, even crippled for life, should
she be allowed to sue him for dam
ages or would such suits violate the
sanctity of the home and tend to
br.ak up civilization?
Such a question was laid today be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States for decision.
Jessie Z. Thompson, wife of Chas.
NJ. Thompson, both then living in the
District Of Columbia. sued her hus-
band for $4,000 damages for seven
alleged assaults upon her. The ma
ture of the alleged assaults and in
jurics We're never brought out in open
court, because before the suit came to
trial the court had given judgment in
favor OF the accused. on the plea that
at the .ime of the alleged assault the
parties were husband and wife.
It is probably the first time the
supreme court has had to pass direct
ly upon such a case. While it's de-
cision will net be binding in juris-
diction other than the District Of Co
lumbia, states having laws similar to
the District Of Columbia in this par
ticular, such as New York, Maine,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan,
Mime sofa and Iowa will be concerned
in the outcome of the litigation.

DR.. Ayres' Address.

Ihat the best measure of the eff
cheney of the school system consists
IN the proportion of the children who
are carried through the elementary
schools and receive a complete com
mon school education, and that the
state of Maine ranks first in this re-
:pect among the New England states,
II NOT IN the entire country, were the
sratllFlng statements made at Thurs
uay meeting of the Maine State
leachers Association by DR.. Leonard
r. Ayres of New York City.
Dr. AyreS is associate director of
tfe department of child hygiene of the
Russell Sage Foundation. and former
general superintendent of schools for
olto Rlco. He is in charge of the
eoucatlonal research of the foundation
ana for the past three years has been
conducting Investigations of the back
ward children problem.
The study of the laggard n,ni,s j.,
me elementary schools of New Enc
and," DR.. Ayres said has sbn,s,
t"at - per cent. of the pupils who
...ei school IN Maine continue
through the Eighth grade; in Mas
adciiusetts 10 per cent. are carried
through the elementary schools:
"hlle Vermont comes next with g.
per cent; New Hampshire 65 no,
cNht.; Rhode Island 81 and Connec-
ticut comes last with over half of tho
ciiiidren who enter schools leaving
petore they reach the final grade In
connecticut only 40 per cent. of tho
entering pupils in the elementary
schools complete the course.
by common agreement" continued
Dr Ayres. law makers ard publi-
clsts nave come to hold that the edu-
cation furnished by our common
school course is the minimum which
may safely he allowed the future
citizens of this democracy. When
then We discover that half of our
children are not receiving this amount
OF education. the problem presented
IS grave one. Even when we dis
cover. as in Maine. that three quarters
of the children are receiving common
school educations. the problem is
sun important, although not present
ing the seriousness that it does in
other localities.
Let US consider what falling out
of school early really means To the
state this means that the men and
women who must soon take up the
business Of citizenship are woefully
i'll prepared. Think for a moment of
the studies which the pupil who
drops cut in the Fifth grade fails to
get. He las but a slight knowledge
of geography: he has had no formal
grammar of his own language; he
knowledge Of the history of his own
country is limited to stories about
some of its great men. The subjects
which hn fails to get are precisely
those subjects which are designed to
lit him for citizenship.
s:'During the past two years there
have been conducted several laborious
and costly Investigations to discover
why we have so many backwards chill
dren in our schools and what the rem
edies are. Among the causes whicl
these Investigations have brought tC
light may be mentioned the compul-
sorry attendance law which provides
that a child shall attend school fol
seven years-from the ages to L
whereas our school courses are
eight or nine years in length. Another
cause is the fact that our courses
of study have unconsciously been fit
