TRAGEDY AND HERoISM.

The tragic death of Captain Scott

cused public attention on the expcdi-
tion which he led. and on somo Of the
incidents attendant on and preceding
its launching. Vic fact the members
of SCOTS family will hc proud to re-

TEXT

AS an illustration of the manner
in which persons may be n,islcd by
obtaining facts which cover only part
of a situation reference may be made
to the discussion Of the uniform text
book system. Advocates and oppo-
nents Of state uniformity have search
cd for information on the subject. and
me ndations thereon. The advocates Of
the uniform plan point to the exper-
fence of Indiana. a state which is more
quoted On that side Of the discussion
than any other. n they call attention
To tho act that that state has the
uniform system in operation. and that
In state superintendent and others
engaged in educational work there are
in favor Of it. That seems a sufficient
~foundatian for an argument. and the
assumption is that what will work we'll
in Indiana in educational matters
should work well in North Dakota.
Tho opponents IF the play reply that
every state north of Mason and Dix
on's line and east eff the Mississippi
has at some time or other within quite
recent years had a uniform text book
law. and that. If we are not mistaken
as to the statement made, every one
of those states with the single excep-
tion Of Indiana has abandoned the
plan because it was found unsatisfac-
tory. Manifestly That cuts a different
appearance on the situation.
Again, it Is asserted on the author

SCHOOL DISEASE.

Children of school age contract such
diseases as measles. scarlet fever and
diphtheria much more frequently than
Older persons. All that has been
sion of certain diseases. notably diph.
liberia. indicates that the taking Of a
large number of children out from
their restricted family and ncighbor-
hood relationships and bringing them
into contact with Il much larger sroup
will increase tho opportunities for in
lection. AS regards opportunities for
infection Furnished by the school. it
must he admitted that while the slate,
the common drinking cup and the
roller-towel are fast passing away.
sufficient facilities for the transfer Of
disease germs still exist in the friendly
exchange Of pocket handkerchiefs. lip
moistened lead-Pencils. chewing gum
and the like. The school playground,
as we'll as the schoolroom. must be
considered in its bearing on the sub
iect Of school diseases. The signiti-
canoe Of school attendance on the pub.
lie health side lies not only in the as
sernbling Of children in a room. but
also in the bringing into more or less
intimate association a number Of chill
dren who would otherwise not have
met at all. Increasing the number
of associates must necessarily increase
the chances Of infection. Dtphtheria
and scarlet fever shows a marked in
crease in the autumn when the schools
open and an equally definite decrease
in the summer when the schools are
closed.
The discovery Of the part played by
the healthy g~erm-carrier throws light
on The probable origin Of certain oh.
scure cases Of infection. says Prof. E.
