again and again to an alluring spot
of blue at one side. which might for
him have been the heart of the whole

WHOOP|NG COUGH
CAUSED BY GERM

1t has just been definitely estab-
llshed that whooping cough is caused
by a germ which has been named the
bacillus pertussis by Bordet and
Gengou, its discoveries. The organ
ism was suspected some time ago and
vaccine treatment undertaken on
this basis. Laboratory findings have
confirmed the belief of the two spe-
cialists named. Whooping cough is
known in medical nomenclature as
pertussis.
Commenting editorially on the dis
covery, the Medical Record says:
1T was over year ago that we
had occasion to call attention to the
vaccine treatment OF, pertussis, which
had apparently exercised a favorable
influence over the course of the dis
ease in number of instances. At
that time the Bordet-Gengou bacillus
had been found constantly in certain
stages of the disease, and complement
fixation tests with this organism were
fairly constantly positive. Whether
this bacillus was the true causative
agent or merely a secondary invader
had not been definitely determined.
"Of late, however. evidence to this
end has become conclusive. Mallory
and Horner at first demonstrated
that the primary essential lesion OF
whooping cough consists in the pres
ence of masses of minute bacilli be-
tween the ella of the epithelial cells
lining the trachea and bronchi Their
action is chiefly mechanical. They in
terfere with the normal movements
of the ella by sticking them together
In this way the cro-organisms fur
nish continual irritation which re-
suits in the symptoms peculiar tc
the disease. They used this lesion
as a criterion in their later ANNA
experimentation, and they report nov
some very important results. Jour

ID EMBRANDT VAN RUN and Sas-
N kia van Ulenburg were married
in 1884. Saskia, the daughter of a
rather wealthy burgomaster who had
died some years before. had been
living with one after another of her
sisters: for they were all married ex-
cept herself.
Once when she was in Amsterdam
a relative, who was posing for a por-
trait. took her to Rembrandt's studio.
where she met the sullen Hollander
and saw him at his work. He must
have been an odd figure in those
DAYS. awkward and shy, doing every
thing in his own queer way. Saskia

returned again and again, making
a deep impression on the artist. She
posed for him several times. Once
she was q queen. another time she
was a flower girl. Rembrandt CEN
tired his whole thought and energy
upon her. and as he had just passed
the first breathing spell of success
they We're soon able to marry.
Saskia thought only of her hus-
bands happiness. He in turn was so
deeply in love with her that he spent
most of his leisure hours painting
her portrait and much of his money
buying Jewels and gold ornaments
and rich dresses of every description
to adorn her.

Up to the time of his marriage REM
brandt had been stubborn and moroSe,
not caring for society or for ordinary
pleasures. He was born on the out
skirts of Leyden in 1907. His father,
a miller, was hardly able to give the
boy that education which is usually
needed to become skilled in art How
ever Rembrandt did study under Van
Swanenbureh, who taught him to
draw, paint and make etchings. He
set up studio in the mill, where he
painted portrait after portrait of his
mother his sister and himself. The
artist liked better than anything to
paint a well-known face over and
over again, by new lights and with
new expressions.
After his first success, Lessons in
Anatomy" Rembrandt moved his
studio to an old warehouse in Am
sterdam. His work became popular.
The people of Holland fairly begged
for sittings, and soon he was fore
most among painters. Yet he paid
little attention to anyone but Saskia,
and his stubbornness offended patrons
and made enemies of those who
should have been his friends.
For nine years Rembrandt lived in
happiness. Then came misfortune.
Extravaganza carried him into debt.
His children died, and soon after his
beloved Saskia followed them. His
enemies barred his pictures from ex-
hibitions. At last all his property
was sold to satisfy creditors. His
paintings went out of fashion. Their
owners even used the frames again
by covering up Rembrandt's can
vases, of incalculabe value, with the
work of some other artist whose pic
lures were in vogue at the time.
A law in Holland now forbids the
removal of Rembrandt" from the
country. His countrymen feel that
no honor Is too high to bestow on
the memory Of that unfortunate ar
list who in 1869 died unrecognized
and was buried by charity.

following Characteristic passage:

A MOUNTAIN SCHOOL.
Successful Experiment Conducted IN
Virginia.

After 81 teachers had each refused in
turn to teach the regular school at Irish
Creek Hollow, in the mountains OF Var.
pinia, two county school teachers and
"a l2-vear old assistant invaded the dis
trict with a camping outfit and Or
ganized a summer school and an evening
school that were both better attended
than any school in past years had ever
been. The experiment was so success
full that other isolated communities IN
Virginia are to be handled in the same
way. Instead of allowing these isolated
districts to get along as best they may,
state and county officers in Virginia are
going to send TO the mountains syery
summer the very best teachers they
can secure in order to provide the edu-
cational facilities that are needed.
Irish Creek Hollow is in a mountain
valley in Rockbridge county. 1t Is
sparsely settled and remote OF access.
The inhabitants are mountaineers OF
original stock who have intermarrled
as much as the law permits. They live
in log cabins that are not even log
cabins. There was a school building, but
for several years there had been no
school. No schoolteacher would accept
the position.
In l90ll, after all attempts to get
regular teacher had failed, the county
superintendent persuaded two expert
enced teachers to go to Irish Creek Hoi-
low, after their schools had closed, and
to open summer school. They car
ried with them tents to live in, provis-
ions, and cooking utensils. School was
opened in the old school building, and
the attendance exceeded all expectations.
There were so children enrolled in morn
ing classes. and 30 to 40 adults in after
noon and evening classes. The noun
taineers were so appreciative of what
was done for them that summer that
they built an additional sehoolroom and
two comfortable living rooms for the
teachers.
Public spirit had developed to such an
extent the following year that when one
of the state inspectors and the secretary
of the Virginia Cooperative Education
association visited the place in the SUM
mer of 1912 they were able to organize
school and civic league and an athletic
association. Practically all the resi-
dents of the community enrolled in the
civic league. An interesting feature oil
the work is that it reaches the adults as
well as the children. A Saturday after
noon class in reading and writing for
grown-ups numbered among its members
old men and women with grandchildren
in the morning school.
In speaking of the experiment Mr.. a.
c. Monahan, rural school specialist IN
the Z. 5. bureau of education, says; In
inaugurating this work Virginia has UNI
doubtedly taken a valuable step toward
benefting one of the most deserving and
most neglected classes of our country.
