such extreme cases are exceptional.

at frequent intervals. The method
OF application of the solution. how
ever, is not always entirely satisfac
tory and deserves the most careful
attention. The use of the sponpe
although the most effective means in
our possession, is open to consider
able criticism. One frequently sees
workman wipe his knife on the
wound he has made with compara-
lively dry sponge, and all too often
with one which has been lying in the
dirt while the cutting was going on.
Such a practice will not yield the
desired results. The soil and other
materials collected in the sponge de-
stroy the poisonous quality of the So
luton which it carries, SO that there
is ever danger of introducing bacteria
instead OF killing those already pres
ent. And disinfection cannot be sue
cessful unless the surface to be steril-
lied is thoroughly drenched with a
clean solution, for the bichloride of
mercury will not kill blight germs
except by direct contact. 1t is also
common to see blight cutter wipe

the degree of weakening depending
upon the amount of organic matter
present. In experiments recently car
ried out in another connection | had
an opportunity to become acquainted
with the extremely sensitive nature
of this substance. Solutions made
up of ordinary lake water, rich in
animal and vegetable matter, lost
their aseptic qualities in a very short
time, the mercury coming down in a
white precipitate which could be seen
at the bottom of the glass vessel or
remaining in suspension, giving the
liquid a milky appearance; solutions
made of ordinary tap water contain
ing lime and other mineral sub
stances, but which was free from or
ganic matter remained effective
longer, but satisfactory results were
secured only with water free from
both organic and inorganic sub
stances. Either distilled or clean
rain water was effective. Mention
of few facts which have been OBJ
served during the past few months
will make clear the application of all
this to our present problem of blight
control. In few cases the bichlor-
ide solution was carried in an open
vessel, and the cutting tools and
sponges were freely dipped into it
and often allowed to remain for some
time. This, of course, would be a
very efficient method of sterilization
so long as the solution retained it's
poisonous property, but that certain
ly cannot be for very long time. In
one orchard the disinfectant was car

the soil from his chisel or other dig
ging instrument with the same
sponge which he used for the cutting
tools and for the wounds. In this
case he not only fails to disinfect the
digging tools, but renders the sponge
unfit for further use or clean sur
faces. A separate sponge or cloth
should be kept at hand for removing
soil from the tools before any at
tempt is made to disinfect them. No
one of us would think of using such a
sponge to apply an antiseptic wash to
wound on man or beast, yet the
same principle is involved here as in
blight disinfection. Then these same
grimy sponges are often applied to
the mouth of the bottle for fresh
supply of liquid. This practice should
be avoided since, for reasons already
explained, it tends to destroy the dis
infectant property of the solution in
the bottle. A better plan is to sat
urate the sponge without bringing it
in contact with the bottle.
Successful disinfection then is de-
pendent upon rigid observance of
the following sanitary precautions:
1. The bichloride of mercury So
luton should be made up of soft wa
ter free from organic matter.
2. The solution should be carried
in a clean, closed glass vessel and
kept free from communicating sub
stances.
3. The sponge or swab should
never come in contact with the soil,
and should be kept free from organic
substances by frequent washing.
4. All tools and wounds to be dis
infected should be thoroughly
drenched with fresh solution.
We hope soon to be in possession
of better method of applying the
disinfectant, but until that time we
should make every effort to secure
efficiency with the means at our dis
posal. M. P. HENDERSON,

Interesting Result of Social Study.

| vi GJOtlhA
The Study class of the Methodist
church has adopted the course of
reading and study of social problems,
as outlined by the Social Creed of the
Federated Churches.
Most interesting and valuable in
formation is developed relating to
various economic and social problems
throughout the country.
At a recent meeting one of the
questions related to what proportion
of the pupils graduated in our Ash
land schools from grade to grade.
and how, the same compared with
other cities
G. M. Ruch made the following
comparisons between the Ashland
schools and the average large east
ern high school, using data from the
Ashland school survey conducted last
year by Superintendent Briscoe:
Last year out of an enrolment of
sol there was an elimination of 19.1
per cent, the rate being slightly high
er for girls than for boys.
An examination of the causes for
! pupils leaving school shows that 8O.3
per cent? of all eliminations are due
to moving away, 13 per cent for un-
preventable sickness, and only the
remaining 6R per cent are due to
social conditions of any sort, the
elimination of the latter class being
I about IL per cent of the total en-
rollment. Thus in Ashland schools
only nine pupils are eliminated per
year by any conditions for which the
schools or the community is responsi-
BILE.
The figures of the average high
schools in manufacturing regions
give eliminations of 10 to 81 per
cent grade, the average for Ashland
being about "a per cent per grade.
This contrast, it was pointed out, was
due to the absence of factories and
child labor in this city.
Thus it appears that about one
tenth as many high school scholars
drop out each year in Ashland for
preventable causes as in many other
cities, with the corresponding result
that probably larger per cent of
the grade pupils pass on up through
nigh school than in any other city of
Its size in the, United States, based
on preventable causes.
All Interested in social problems
are welcomed at the meetings of the
class.
