IDEAS OF A PLAIN MA.
Self Respect.

The citadel of decency is self re- spect.
 When all the other guards have been overcome, all other walls broken down, and when the enemy comes in to the very center of the soul, if there in dwells self respect. there is yet hope.
 Many a woman has been tempted until her principles were swayed, her rules of life shattered, her mind de- ceived, her judgment corrupted, her desires gone over to the foe, but she has held the fort and guarded her souls jewel simply because her self respect could not be shaken.
 Nothing is more immoral than to suggest to a young person that he Is naturally deficient in goodness. Thanks bel he usually will not believe this. If he did believe it he would lose his last anchor to hold in the storm.
 It used to be the fashion to harp upon the utter corruption and original sin of man, so as to induce him to want to be saved by grace. But the only person who wants to be saved is the one who thinks he is worth sav- ing.
 Berating and vilifying human nature is cheap and easy and done with glib ness, but little good ever came of it except in the reaction of a righteous indignation. The human being rises only in proportion as he becomes con- vinced of his intrinsic worth and mo- bleneSS

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY
GRACE'S RETICENCE

Don't you think" began Bessie, glancing around in a general sort of way until her gaze fell on Grace's rapt countenance turned full upon her. Then the carefully thought out sentence fled from her mind and she stopped.
 For some seconds every one sat still, each waiting for some one else to speak and all glancing wonderingly at Grace.
 Finally Grace spoke: Do tell us about your vacationp' she urged Viola Viola colored and stammered. Then she laughed. What on earth is the matter?" she demanded of Grace. " ou know, didn't go away at all--and if l had gone away it would be rather late to inquire so solicitously about a sum mer vacation two months after it was over."
 T should say sol" exclaimed Fran ces, gaining courage from the ordinari- ly timid Viola
 "Tell us what on earth is the mat ter"

Reticence, in any sense of the word, had never been Graces long suit. In fact, if there was a principal part to be taken in conversation and Grace didn't take it the failure was merely because she wasn't anywhere around. From the time she was an infant and took the part of Cinderella while all the other children were mere fairies, to the time she led the grand march with the most sought young man and was leading lady in the class play, Grace had never known from near view what the background looked like.
 So when she came back from her va cation and began to fulfill her social duties her friends sat back in amaze ment for something had assuredly hap pened to Grace.
 The whole set had begun to grow rather impatient for Grace to open up the season with her usual party. No one dreamed of taking from her the glory of the first function, for hereto fore she had been so prompt, but time was flying and there has not been the ghost of an announcement.
 It grew so bad that finally one of the girls decided that she'd give small luncheon and invite Grace and $ few of Grace's most intimate friends and try to find the trouble.
 Grace arrived at the luncheon and. after quietly greeting the girls, settled back in a chair in complete silence.
 My; isn't it late in the season." ex- claimed Frances, adding with wonder ful originality, How times does 1y!'' Then she went on: Nearly two months have passed and nothing exciting has happened vet" She paused and glanc- ed covertly at Grace. But Grace made no reply, though she had leaned for ward attentively as Frances spoke.
 "We ought to begin things pretty soon," declared Viola, daringly, speak ing almost directly to Grace, who thereupon turned her whole attention to Viola, with so eager an expression that that young woman relapsed into silence in sheer astonishment. To have Grace listen to you in that intense way was disconcerting, to say the least, and Viola was naturally a piece of the background and much preferred its safe obscurty.
 Several others offered their conver- sational contributions to the general cause. But it was difficult to talk at Grace-to hint gently-when Grace herself sat with her eyes fastened 'un- blinkingly on the speaker, as though her very soul thirsted for every spok- en word

PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATORS.

An added duty for the country school teacher is advocated by Dr. Charles D. North of New York and he believes that they should get the added course of training for it in the normal schools. He maintains that as the natural in tellectual leader of his community the rural teacher can do for public health in the country what the medical in spector and school nurse are doing in the city-point the way to clean liv- ing. The first principles of sanitary science can be taught with far greater and better results than is gained from physiology. Dr. North asserts that personal cleanliness, purity of food and of drinks, the nature of disease, and the method of transference are all things which can be expressed in the simplest terms and made clear to the understanding of children" If ef- fective sanitation could be enforced it is estimated that the present average of 45 years for human life could be extended a third. In rural communi- ties annually 100000 persons die and about two million others are seriously III IIOul InISCllOuS OlSedSeS. The 6lln- ination of half those deaths and sick cases means the accomplishment of something in which everyone is deeply interested.
 The rising generation in both city and country has the right to be in structed in the science which has so much to do with their good health and happiness. They need to know how to protect themselves against tuber- culosis, from contaminated milk, and typhoid from impure water as well as the guarding against the transference of poisonous bacteria from those who carry them to those who are healthy. It is such instructions given to the children which are going to have their best effect.
