The Great Text Book.

While We are giving thought to the
curriculum of the schools and emphasiz-
ing the importance of studying their text
books. let us not forget that the great
est text book in all the world Is the Bible.
The object of education is to store
the mind with knowledge of what Is true
and important
The Bible is the great reservoir of
truth.
No education is finished that does not
include this book in the course of study
1t is the book that should be honored
above all others, not only in the pulpit
and in the family, but in the school
We commend the study of text books
in the schools and colleges which are
written by men. Why should We not
much more commend the study of the
text book written by God?
From whence came those sublime crea-
! tons in architecture and painting which
are seen in the works of Michael
Angelo?
The Bible.
From whence came the inspiration that
gave to the world the sublime poetry OF
Tasso. Milton and Cowper?
The Bible.
The highest school of literature and
art has It's foundation in this book, and
it Is the bblically educated men who
have given the greatest enrichment OF
thought in all the fields of learning.
Those who get the most from this
school year will be those who put the
most into 1t, and the most can only be
put into it by giving heed to the teach
ings of the great text book.

Lost Opportunities.

Yet how many of our young people fail
to appreciate and improve their passing
school years.
The bitter regrets so universally ex-
pressed by those who have passed the
school day period over their folly in
not improving the opportunities for edu-
cation that were within their reach
should prove a warning and an incentive
to the young to get the most out of every
school year that yet lies before them
But the young are prone to grow weary
over the confinement of the schoolroom
and the labor and stress of porting over
books. and long for the freedom of less
eXacting duties, and all too frequently
make their escape. and grow up i'm COM
parative ignorance, to mingle their re-
gretS with those who had warned them
by their own sad experience not to throw
away the chances of the school period of
life.
If my words could reach every young
Christian Endeavorer in all their societies
at home and abroad, aye, If 1 could reach
every youth in all the world, / would
earnestly plead with each and every one
to not neglect single opportunity of
school privilege that their circumstances
and environments of life permitted them
to improve.
l hope that every one who speaks on
this topic in all the various societies may
be given eloquence to impress upon those
who hear the transcendent Importance of
getting the most out of this school year
and all succeeding school years.

CASES ARE
BEING NEGLECTED
RAPID SPREAD OF TYPHOID AT
TRIBUTED TO CARELESSNESS
AT BEDSIDE.

Returning to Richmond today from
a hurried tour of communities in
which typhoid fever has already APP
peared,- DIR. A. w. Freeman. assistant
health commissioner, declares the
outlook ~unfavorable n attributes
the rapid spread of the disease to
the neglect of precautions in caring
for the 1rst cases that appear.
In his tour DR.. Freeman visited
several small towns from Which have
come reports OF outbreaks n he
gave. careful attention to the condi-
tons which seemed responsible for
the spread of the infection. Whiie
he outlined in every instance meas
ures Of prevention. DIR. Freeman pre-
diets a very a year in typhoid I'M
less the people of the State Will at
once take precautions and will con-
fine the disease to those among Whom
1t first appears.
AS a result Of DR.. Freeman's in
spection, the board of health today
issued a special bulletin calling at
tention to the proper method of car
ing for individual Of typholo
The board says the bulletin. has
issued an edition of 10000 small
placards which are called Bedside
Directions for the Care of Typhoid
Cases. These directions tell how the
patient Is to be cared for, how dis
infectants are to be prepared and
what must be done to prevent the
carriage of the disease from the SICK
to the well. A large number OF
physicians have already sent for THESE
nlacards to distribute them among
their patients; out it Is impossible 10
reach any considerable number Of the
afflicted families in this a we
yery urgently request TIL head OF
every family in which typhoid fever
appears to write at once for a copy
of these directions and to follow them
to the letter. Carelessness means the
infection of other members OF the
household, while preventive measures
will generally suffice to conhne the
disease to the first case.
The methods by which typhoid
fever Is carried in this climate have
been determined by careful expert
ments and should be well known to
the public.
The all important thing to remem
Der is that the germs of typhoid fever
are carried only in the discharges
from the human body and that a well
person contracts the disease because
he has taken into his mouth filth
from some person who has or has had
the disease. The control of typhoid
fever Is simply a question of caring
for human discharges. If our people
are careless in this respect and IL they
neglect the early cases which are
now appearing in many quarters. we
may expect a very bad typhoid year.
With care, even now. the number OF
future cases may be materially re-
duced."
