SCHOOLS AND EPiDEMicS
(Brockton Times)

fBrOcKtOn TImeS)
 One of the speakers at the school hygiene congress, Surgeon General Mclaughlin of the Philippines offers a rather startling and perhaps orig inal suggestion. for the protection of school children during epidemics, ad- vocating the schools be kept open instead of being closed at the first sign of a spread of disease. Accord ing to his theory, which he evidently has found successful in the Philip pines. the children are safer in school than out, and where attend ance at school is made compulsory the authorities are keeping the pu- pills out of danger for most of the day. The plan sounds reasonable.

EDUCATORS BACK
FROM NEW YORK CITY


jackson, Miss, October 25.-tSpecial)
DR. j. N. Powers, state superintendent OF
education, has returned from New York
and Washington and Chicago, where he
and President Cook of the State Normal
college at Hattiesburg have spent tile
past three weeks in the interest of the
children and teachers of the state. Thesi
were cordially received by DR.. Knapp and
others of the department of education,
and assured of every possible assistance.
The department at Washington is now
giving Mississippi $4,000 for girls club
work, which Is under the supervision OF
Miss Susie v. POWELL $500 comes frol2
the Peabody fund for rural school wof-.
which is under the supervision of Prof. ,
w. III. Smith. That makes 5000 from
an outside source, and which is aug.
mented by the state with 5000 travelling es-
penses for Miss Powell.
In New York these Mississippi educa-
tors were promised assistance from the
Carnegie fund in building a library on the
campus of thes state normal, but the state
must do it's part before such assistance is
available.
Visits we're paid by the Mississippians
to several of the greatest normal colleges
in the land, where they studied advanced
methods and secured a great deal of vnl-
liable information which will be used 10
the betterment of the state normal, and qt
the several agricultural high schools.
Mr.. Bradford Knapp, special agent IN
charge OF the bureau of plant industry, IN
response to the representations of Super
ft,ta haQ add
to all his agents and demonstrators In this
state, urging them to cooperate in every
way possible with the agricultural high
schools. to advise with the superintend
ents and teachers, to visit their schools
and hold demonstrations, and do any
thing else possible that will not interfere
with their regular work.

the converting of circuit court. When the
court convenes he win be- tried for al
legged forgery and also on the charge of
Jail breaking. n
Bennett was picked up as suspect
and lodged in the Newton Jail three
months ago. After being in the prison
for about 40 days he escaped. 1t is said
that the daughter of the sheriff, having
become in love with him, assisted in the
escape. Bennett then went to IOWA, but
returned two weeks ago and the. girl
eloped with him.
Now Sheriff Pippin finds himself the
father-in-law of his prisoner, and he is
very wroth Though the relation exists
between them, the prisoner is shown no
favors The girl wife is guarded almost
as closely, 1t is said as the prisoner
himself, In order that she may not again
assist the young man to escape.
She is not allowed the run of the jail
corridors as In the days when she was
yet Miss Pippen She is not allowed to
cook cakes and other dainties for her
husband, who must eat the same fare
that the other prisoners have.
1t is said that Sheriff Pippen will not
recognize the marriage of his daughter
and that as soon as court convenes he
will make determined fight to have the
marriage annulled.
Since Bennett has been arrested and
the case has been given wide notorlety
IT is likely that still another charge will
be lodged against him. While he was
in Jail at Olney Just before being re-
turned again to the Newton jail, some
who saw him thought they recognized
him as the smooth young man who has
been going through this section OF the
state recently and working a smooth en-
velope game. rank swindle.
If sufficient proof can be found that
he is the swndler he will be OBLIGED
to answer the additional charge UNDER
lying this offense And 1t may be a long
time indeed before Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett
will be privileged to enjoy their honey
moon.

weight Of years and hard labor, but his

p Living in the heart OF a city, he had
never ridden in street car, never talked
over a telephone. never seen a skyscraper
never ridden in an elevator, never seen

anything else.
Governor Cox received him with in

In reply to the governors questions,
Taborn said he had no relatives liv-

or in fact whether they were living or
dead He thanked the governor with
tears in his eyes, turned away and then
returned to thank him again.
Next he was taken for walk about
the streets, He was like child. His
eyes wandered everywhere and he was
constantly in peoples way. Unaccus-
toned noises made him start with al
most cauike quickness. He gazed in
awe at skyscrapers in the business
section, and finally asked to be taken
through one. Going in he became
tangled up in a revolving door, and had
TO be extracted. He got on an ele-
vator and rode up several stories be-

He did not know how to find his way

Taborn breathed a sigh of relief
when he got on solid ground again.
He had been no higher in the air than
