Open the Windows.

Commenting on the difficulty of venti-
lating schoolroomS properly, the New
York Medical Journal quotes Leonard
Hill, an English authority, as admitting
that the problem OF ventilation has not
been mastered in theory or in practice,
and that with the most elaborate syS-
TENS there not intrequently appears to
be a decided lack OF fresh air." Con-
cluding, the Journal says:
Many authorities now hold that the
open window is the best means OF ven-
tllation. Perhaps It is not possible &c
have the windows always so placed in
sChoolrooms as to afford a thorough
draft, nor may it be advisable TO keep
the windows of Schoolroom open suf-
ficiently long to provide all the ventila-
ton necessary. On the other hand, on
the open window the main dependence
for the ventilation of schoolrooms must
be placed, and at least during the recrea-
ton time windows should be thrown
wide open in order that the air may be
renewed as etfectuallY as possible.
This advice should be followed in all
public schools and in other buildings
that are presumed TO be ventilated thor
oughly by means OF air ducts and forced
drafts. The canned air" feeling IN many
such buildings is not pleasant. Open the
windows and "blow out" the room thor
oughly several times day until the in
ventors perfect Their devicee, for other
ventilation.

Publicity That fielps.

Publicity In newspapers and magazines
TO the amount oi SOC, 900 inches a year
on tuberculosis and its prevention is being
given by the press OF the United States,
according to an estimate issued by The
National Association for the Study and
Prevention OF tuberculosis.
II all the publicity on tuberculosis given
by the press OF this county in the wear
ending April lst were gathered In one
paper, the National Association estimates
il would make paper Of over $3.50 pages.
In the last four years, during which time
an active publicity campaign has been
carried on, the National Association esti-
mates that over 10000 inches or over
90 miles OF press notices on tuberculosis
have been published.
Publicity is the very heart Of the ed
ucational campaign against tuberculosis"
says DIR. Livingston farand, the Execu-
tive Secretary OF the National Association.
Largely because OF the intelligent CO.
operation Of the press, has the anti-iuber-
culosis movement in this country been
able TO become, as il is. the greatest Of
ganized movement OF its kind In the
world. When tuberculosis shall have
become a rare disease. the American
press may justly claim large share In
this gigantic achievement"

The Primitive Kubus.

A people without any form OF religion,
without superstition, devoid OF any
thought of the future state, has been
found in the interior forests Of Sumatra,
according to DR.. Wilhelm Valez, the
geologist OF the University OF Breslau,
who has made extensive journeys through
the island.
There he found the Kubus, as he named
them, who are scarcely TO be distinguished
from the small manlike ape Of the lndo-
MalaYan countries.
They are wanderers through the forest
seeking food; they have no property.
They are not hunters, but simply COL
lectors. They seek merely sufficient
nuts, fruits and other edible growthS TO
keep them alive.
The Kubus wage very little warfare
upon the small amount Of animal life in
their silent and sonber land. The only
notion that Prof. ValeZ could get from
them OF a difference between live and
dead person was that the dead do not
breathe. He iniers that they are i'm
measurably inferior to the paleolithic man
OF Europe, who fashioned tools and
hunted big game with his flint-tipped
arrow and knife. intellectual atrophy is
the result Of the Kuous' environment.
The words they know are almost as few
as the ideas they Try TO express.

But where she had smiled hitherto over

bewilderingly. Slowly she counted them

No! there was no mistake about it,
