BATTLE COMPASS SUCCESS.
Tests Show It Will Pay Cost of In.
stallation in Coal Saved.

Battleship tests with the new "gyro-
scopic' or battle" compass, reports to
the Navy Department show, have demon
strated that it not only is a vast improve
ment over the magnetic compass, but
that 1t will pay for it's cost and installa-
ton within two years in the amount of
coal saved. That saving would be ac-
cOmplished, it is stated, because q stead
Ter course can be maintained by the use
of the new compass. and therefore
changes in speed to regain Roadway
would be greatly reduced.
THE 'syro' compass is not yet wholly
satisfactory. mechanically" the report
confesses, but when the remaining de-
fects have been corrected and it is ca
pable of standing up to its work for long
periods it's installation on all capital ships
will result in greater coal economy and
in more satisfactory handling of Ships
This last-named advantage the report
concludes, would be especially gained
when warships were steaming in SQUAD
ron or were engaged in formations or
evOlutionS.

TEACHING OF SEX HYGIENE

A paper has been prepared on the meas
ures employed for the propaganda on sex
hygiene from which the following is
taken:
1.-The only way to combat ignorance is
with knowledge. The young must be
educated concerning sex development and
sex hygiene: the public must be educated
to the true nature of diseases. Boards of
tive measures. Legislative bodies must
be educated TO enact laws that will en-
able boards of health TO cope with dis
eases. and that will authorize boards of
education to provide for the education Of
the young in sex physiology and hygiene.
Different means and methods are
necessary for the education of these diff
ferent groups. Before any great change
can be brought about i'm the policy of
boards of health, i'm the laws enacted by
legislature. in the courses of instruction
for the young. public opinion must be
nodded. This can only be done by bring

Work of Societies.
The first organization for study and

such societies have been organized. These
societies distribute thousands of leaflets
among adults and the ado.escents. The
American society employs ten lecturers
to address mothers clubs and other or

There have been. woman pipers. too, at

There is general consensus OF opin-

Is that pupils be taught the truths OF sex.
Nearly all agree that ideally this in

But as the majority of parents are not
qualified TO give the instruction the duty
may devolve upon teachers.
IAN indirect method of reaching the
young is to give lectures TO parents on
how to instruct children in Sex hygiene
Most of this work is done by voluntary
organization. In Washington this class
OF work has been done by the Woman's
Clinic, the committee on public health
education OF the American Medical As
sociation and the Young Mems Christian
Association.

hibition. The first large exhibit of this
kind in the United States was shown in

Sex instruction for children should never
be singled out in this way from other
phenomena of life and treated as a thing
apart. Moreover, sex instruction for chill
dren and the youth should be graded to
suit the need of the age of the child.

TRIBUTE OF PIPER

LONDON, January IS, 1913.
The morning after the Duke of Aber-
corn died last week the newspapers all
contained message from the dead man s
heir as follows: 1.-The Marquis of Ham,
ilton begs to thank the piper who played
outside Hampden House. Green street at
about quarter to II o'clock on Friday
night and ever since all London has
been wondering who the mysterious piper
was For days he played a wild Highland
lament outside the house, and stole away
without a word.
He has been discovered now, however.
in the person of James Campbell. son Of
Robert Campbell, a great master of the
pipes, and formerly a piper in Scottish
regiment. James used to go about Lon
don with his father after the latter left
the army. and lin those days." said he.

Campbell told how. by his fathers
teaching. he had got to be a fairly able
player on the bagpipes. and so in his turn
he became street piper The other night
he was in the Strand playing to the peo-
pie as they came out of the theaters. and
as he played he heard the newsboys
shouting, Death of the Duke of Aber-
corn"
And then, in the words of the old
Highland song. it 'came upon him to
arise and to make his lament for that
great chief who had been good to his
father and to himself in the old days of
poverty. He thought of the bitter Lon
don streets, of cold and wet and hunger,
and remembered how the duke had given
his fellow-countrymen help in the time

the night, and went to Green street. And
there before the house of the duke he
played Lord Lovat's Lament and 1.-The
Green Hills" Up and down, to and fro
on the pavement, Piper Campbell paced
and made his weird music, summoning to
the West End street not only the recOl-
lection of past kindness. but all the
magic of the hills in the far north, the
sound of the shrill wind in the pine
forest, the surging and tossing of the
dark wood as the storm comes upon it,

Nursing is an art: and. If it is to be
made an art. requires as exclusive de-
votion, as hard a preparation, as any
sculptor's or painters work; for what

to do with the Lying body, the temple

BY birth and education Florence Night
ingale was fitted for very different
sphere of life from that which she
chose for herself. Her father was a
man of means, a landed proprietor and
clearly a gentleman of cultivation. Her
birth occurred In the historic Tuscan
city of Florence-hence her baptismal
name. From her earliest days SHE show
ed an interest in the affairs of the sick
room-practicing bandaging on her dolls.
and performing a cure upon shepherd
dog whose master thought him to have
broken leg. AS she grew older she
travelled widely with her parents and
wherever she went studied hospitals. re-
formatories and all places given over to
the care of the suffering and the unfor-
tunate. History does not relate whether
in this passion she had the sympathy of
her parents, but to some extent it must
have ben Forthcoming. for she was plenti-
fully supplied with funds for the prose
cution of her studies. and even for the
assistance of some of the institutions
which she approved.

the early days of the nineteenth century
there was in all Europe only one insti-
tuition for the training of nurses other
than those supported by the Catholic

Rhine a school of deaconesses. Miss
Nightingale, who had visited many of
the Catholic schools and had become
deeply impressed with the nobility Of the
work they were prosecuting, determined
to enter this solitary Protestant school
and use her influence to extend the scope
of its work.
Before this time she had been pre-
scented at court and had been given
every possible introduction to London
society. Nothing but devotion to a
cause could have prevented her from
taking the place in the social whirl which
was hers.
