extra work and more or less hustle from

| Much of the work taken up in the
schools during the remainder of January
will be in the nature of review of what
has been taught in the past half year.
The half-year promotions will mean more
or less shifting of scholars from one room
to another. and in the high schools there
will be perceptible increase in the at

The end of the first half-year in the
high schools is even more marked than
it is in the graded schools. Pupils of the
senior class begin their plans for COM
mencement and class night; base ball
practice is often taken up indoors during
the early months of the year, and the
companies settle down to the real work of
the year-that of perfecting movements
already learned and practicing field ma
neuvers.
The entrance of new pupils who wish
to join the companies is problem which
always confronts the captains at the be-
genning OF the second semester. as the
new members must be taught movements
early in the fall, and in many cases the
companies have to be re-sized.

year will be held this week between the

LONDON. December 80. 1910
\ review OF the rat plague in east
anglia appeared In the Times a few days
since. with demand for the direct in
tervention Of the government in the mat
ter.
The epidemic was first noticed among
human beings four years ago, but it was
not realized that the victims suffered
regarded as ordinary pneumonia.
The outbreak in 1906 occurred in two
lonely cottages overlooking the lower
reach OF the Orwell. In one of the cot
tages there were three cases, of which
NO were fatal, and in the other five
cases. only one of which recovered.
Still Matter Of Doubt.
IL Is believed now, although quite
naturally unsupported at the time, that
all the cases weue pneumonia plague. This
remains. however. to some extent a mat
Ter OF speculation.
In January last two persons died at
Trimley, OH the north side OF the River
Orwell. exactly opposite Shotley, from a
disease now believed to have been plague.
The evidence i'm this case is also not con-
elusive.
The cases which actually demonstrated
the existence of plague I'm England occur
red in September last at the village of
Preston. a few miles south of Ipswich
and more than six miles from Shotley.

Living Rats Examined.

Then dead rats were examined and
found to be infected with the plague. but
they conveyed insufficient information
What was wanted was to ascertain the
proportion of infected cases among rats
still living One morning a considerable
number of live rats were caught in an
area near Ipswich selected at random
found to be suffering from plague.
Ii the percentage of infected cases is
now high il was probably far higher
when the epidemic was at its worst in
these localities. The tendency of the cpl
demic has been to spread outward in an
ever-increasing radius. Infected rats have
now been found over an area covering
hundreds OF square miles. OF which lps-
witch may be regarded as the center.
No satisfactory explanation of the cpl
demic has yet been evolved. One theory
is that plague has never left the rat pop-
ulation of England since the middle ages.
A second theory rs that plague may
have been spread northward across Essex
from the London docks. Cases OF rat
plague have been occasionally found in
the docks. undoubtedly brought by ships.
But, whatever tie cause, the immediate
necessity is for expert inquiry under gov
eminent control. The vital point is that
though conditions in England are ex-
tremely unfavorable for the sprea1 of
plague among human beings by the
agency of rat fieas, they may possibly
conduce TO the spread of a pneumonia
form of plague

Once more the outbreak occurred in iso-
lated houses. Four persons died. and
meteorological examination left no doubt
that the cause of death was pneumonia
plague.
AS soon as the presence of plague at
Preston was conclusively proven in
quiries were at once instituted about a
possible mortality among rats in Suf-
folk.
Very gradually a singular series OF
facts was disclosed. 1t was found that
during a period of at least three years.
and possibly a good deal longer. rats had
been dying in large numbers in the penin-
sula south of the Orwell and probably in
the country north of the Orwell also.
The exact date when an unusual NOR
tally was first noticed has not been es-
tablished 1t is believed. however. that
the heaviest mortality among Suffolk rats
i'm the vicinity Of Ipswich occurred. not
this year. but either two or three years
ago.
