She gave him a frame and suggested

who have paid especial attention to

excellent law. I left Philadelphia the

there were enthusiastic over the out

The club meeting will be held at the

and welfare of the organization it.

Meetings of the club called recently
have not been attended by quorum

hold a big get-together banquet.

WHAT is OSTEOPATHY?
What 1t Is.

Osteopathy is system of therapy
that has but lately become we'll
known. It is a science that regards
the structural framework of the body
as an intricate machine. It has dis
covered that often in the various sick
nesses of mankind, there is present
some slight arrangement Of the
mechanical makeup. Such derange-
ment is comparable to a strained or
overnight bolt in an engine, and is
an important factor in the production
of disease. Very far reaching and
serious consequences may supervene
as resultants from such a condition
Therefore, Osteopathy is the Science
of the mechanism Of the body.
What It Does.
It cures many and various bodily
dieases. The osteopath reasons that
an artisan would be foolish to pour
muddy water continually into a ma
chine to remedy some mechanical de-
feet in it; so the physician is unwise,
who attempts to remedy disease, due
to a mechanical irritation, by prescrib-
ing poisonous drugs and medicines
tThe osteopath believes that such
drugs generally further clog the body
machinery. The remedy in very many
cases can be obtained by readjust-
ment of its parts. CLINICAL results
prove that this theory is correct.
Osteopathy maintains that there is
an intimate connection between the
functioning of the various organs of
the body, and the integrity of its
structural framework. Any abnormal
condition of the structure Of the body
produces corresponding perversion
in the functioning Of some organ or
part. Conversely any diseased organ
produces correlated abnormal con-
dition of the body structure, and tits
found that the spinal column is the
part most commonly affected. In
either case the structural perversion
serves as an irritating and maintain
ing cause Of the disease. L is found
that a very potent means Of over
coming many disorders IS to remove
the associated spinal abnormal titles.
Thus Nature IS left free 70 throw off
the disease.

and Says Discipline at Schools Will
Be Preserved if It Becomes Neces-
sary to Resort to Most Rigid Mea-
sures to Accomplish That End.

Ralph G. Soutar, physical director
of the schools of Virginia, filing a
position created by the present
board, Tuesday rendered his resigna-
ton to Chairman Eaton of the board
in letter that fairly bristled with
indignation over the treatment he al
leges he received during his connec-
ton with the schools of this city and
in which he declares that he cannot
uphold the standards of morality
common decency and clean athletics
in the schools of Virginia with the
support he has received from the
principal, the superintendent and even
some members Of the school board.
His resignation was accepted at
an informal meeting of the board
held at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
presided over by Chairman Eaton and
attended by Directors Edward C.. A.
Johnson, w. T. Irwin and Mitchell
Stewart. DR.. Colgrove and Mr.. Sou
tar were also present.
Before the board Mr.. Soutar fur
ther elaborated his grievances. He
declared that among the boys of the
high school several were banded to-
gether Ito get his goat" He said
they were "lawless" and that not only
himself but the teachers in the high
school were driven to the point of dis
traction by the tactics which they had
adopted. He said also that some of
the women members of the high
school faculty were on the verge OF
nervous collapse because of worry oc.
casioned them by this element and
confdentially informed Directors
Johnson and Irwin while writing out
his resignation that the board might
depend on six or eight designations at
Christmas time.
DR.. Colgrove before the board de-
MED that any such situation existed
He defended the students, whose
names were mentioned in the meet
ing and while admitting there had
been some trouble of this kind indi.
Gated that prompt measures had been
taken to abate it and that while pa.
tience and tact were the methods al
present being used the situation would
be met if the sternest Discipline had
to be invoked. He said he was just

nation % before any g the other
members Of the board were aware of

The statements contained IN his
letter, it was declared by Directors
Stewart, Irwin and Johnson were q
shock to them. They had no idea the
football team had been disbanded be-
cause certain Of its members had been
intoxicated. Neither were they
aware as was openly stated that GER
tain high school boys frequented pool
halls and in some cases saloons, smok-
ed cigarettes and otherwise conducted
themselves in an abandoned manner.
All declared following the meeting
that Mr.. Soutar had not sustained the
statements he made in his letter Of
resignation to their satisfaction.
Mr.. Soutar came ITO the Virginia
schools from Superior. He is clean
and capable young man, but it ap-
pears unfortunately to have lost the
respect of the student body because
of his failure with the football team.
Soutar has been conscientious and
hardworking, however, and has much
sympathy. His connections with the
schools will be severed Friday night.
Prof. Coy S. Blair will succeed Mr..
Soutar until such time as new ply
sicial director can be secured.
Student Body Is Agog.
News of Physical Director Soutar's
resignation was received in the stu
dent body Wednesday. There it is
Indignantly denied that three men,
bers of the football team were in
toxicated. It is claimed that but one
of the three accused had been drink
ing. A story is current in the
student body that the school board has
hired detectives to shadow certain
students. It is claimed that one
evening recently the detective sus-
pected was Swallowed by two high
school students while he was trailing
two other students. 1t is alleged the
services of the detective were secured
by the board to discover whether or
not high school students were enter
ing saloons or using tobacco. Mem
bers of the school board Tuesday
might characterized this story as ridi-
culous. They claim that certain
youth of the obstreperous and callow
type are making some little trouble
at the high school, but say that no
one has been employed to shadow
them and that if any student of the
high school is possessed of an idea
of his own Importance that is in any
way affecting theesprit du corps of
the schools rigid measures will be
taken to disabuse his mind Of any
such theory at once.
