An excellent paper on home study
from the parents point of view was
read by Mrs. Caldwell, which was
followed by an equally good paper
by Miss Myers, on the same subject,
from the teachers standpoint. The
gist of the discussion which followed
was that while home study is not
usually desirable in the grades, it is
soE Zines necessary, and when done
in the proper manner and under
proper conditions it proves to be
helpful. If done in the morning and
the pupil is taught to concentrate
his mind. more can be accomplished
in half an hour than could be done
in two hours in the evening.

WILL PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS
FRIEDMAN CURE PROTECTS FU-
TURE GENERATIONS.
German Scientist Tells of Successful
Vaccination Tests Made With
Children.

Ottawa, Ont--Discussing tests of
his vaccine as a preventive of tuber-
culosis, Doctor Friedman, in his adj
dress to the medical convention here,
expressed the hope that this would
be found to be the great use of his
discovery in the future.
Il have found this remedy harmless
when 1 used it for patients ranging
from earliest childhood to advanced
age in all forms of application-sub-
cutaneously, intramuscular and intra-
venous-even in big doses.' said Doc
tor friedman, and equally efficient
in all forms of tuberculosis, pulmo-
nary, bone, joint, glandular and skin
Aside from absolutely hopeless cases
whose fates already were sealed, the
remedy has proved it's efficiency in
most Instances.
ITO obtain the ideal, to eradicate
tuberculosis, as an endemic disease,
it is necessary not only to cure the
tubercular individuals now living, but
also to protect future generations
from infection by a method following
in principle Jenner's vaccination. So
far 1 have vaccinated $50 children
varying in age from one hour to
three years.
Most of these children were living
in tubercular environments and much
exposed to infection. The earliest
immunizations were made seventeen
months ago and all the children are
well and free from all symptoms OF
scrofula or tuberculosis.
There is a well founded hope,
therefore, that this will prove the
right way and the one to which our
future efforts will have to be direct

RECALLS LITERARY MYSTERY
Rev. Mr.. Wolfe, Author of Burial Of
Sir John Moore" Buried at
Queenstown.

A literary mystery of a hundred
years ago is recalled by the special
centenary number, recently issued. of
the Newry Telegraph, an Ulster
tri-weekly. In it's pages April 10.
1917, under the simple head OF -'Po-
etry," appeared what Byron called the
most perfect ode in the language''-
The Burial of Sir John Moore" By
ron or Campbell or any of the others
to whom this poem was variously
ascribed would doubtless have been
proud to claim it. But the author was
the obscure curate of Ballyclog, in
TYRONE, Rev. Charles Wolfe, and
the fame of the piece was but post
humous fame for him. Not until his
death, of consumption, in 1923, at the
early age of thirty-two, did the author
ship become known to the world And
Wolfe, who wrote much other verse
of merit, is remembered only by that
one poem which sprang from the col
umns of a provincial newspaper to
universal recognition in the big world
of letters.-London Chronicle.
