rector OF school hygiene for the State, has
prepared list of questions to be asked the
pupils so that the teachers and the nurses
ray become familiar with the physical condi-
ton of those in their care.
DO you eat breakfast every day? Do you
drink coffee or tea? Do you sleep with your
windows open or shut? DO you use n tooth
brnsh2 Do you take exercise after school
hours?
These are some OF the questions asked. the
purpose being Conservation of the physical
health Of our school children according to
the report of the special director to the
nited States bureau OF education.

making the child in the schools as healthy as
the schools can possibly make 1t. the Lynch

HARD TO RELIEVE.

The North Emporia Independent calls at
tention to how the employers liability act in
New Jersey, Wilson measure works. In the
damage suit OF Boren Krouse, the plaintiff
got more than his lawyer asked for by the au-
tomato operation of the law. krouse was
injured in shipyard and was willing. on his
attorneys advice, to take $4,000. The court
ruled. however, that he could not legally ac-
copt this sum, as the law awards him $40 per
week for four hundred weeks. -or $4,000 in
all.
This story is given on authority of the
independent and not our own. 1t may be
true, but is open to doubt, the Colonel has
declared that Governor Wilson derelct
in his duty as governor of New Jersey, and
Hungry Hi" has averred that he was a fail-
ure Still 1t may be the truth, even the

Teaching is becoming one OF the leading
professions of college men and women every
where. This tendency is reflected at Oberlin
college. About fifty per cent. of the gradu-
a1es OF the academic department OF the Ohio
college have taken up that profession. While
this showing is out of proportion to the other
colleges, because Oberlin is co-educational and
women take to teaching more readily than
men, fl gives example of the work colleges
are doing toward increasing the number OF
those who devote their lives to training the
young.
