Significance Of the Cancer Death
Rate.

Statistics, especially when dealing
with death, are useful, but are fire.
quently alarming.
During the recent congressional
for the treatment of cancer an array
OF tatistics were introduced which
caused unnecessary alarm.

Vulnerable caravan sooner or later
He may prolong his days but the
end will come eventually. Ii is equal
ly obvious that If there were only
two fatal diseases, each causing a
mortality of 80 per cent, and an alb
solute cure for one of them was
found and applied, the other would
necessarily become the cause OF 100
per cent of all deaths.
Medical men conclusively state that
recent advances in their science have
about doubled the chances Of a per-
son attaining the age OF 40. or dis
eases To which the human being is
liable before that age, smallpox has
been all but eliminata1. When this
disease is entirely eradicated-and it
will be-death will seek another
means of preying ON the human race.
Men and women must die. IL one dis
ease to which they were formerly
susceptible is eradicated. then they
must succumb to another or die. In
the end, of Old age.
The mortality from typhoid. diph-
liberia and even tuberculosis has been
enormously reduced. the ravages OF
puerperal fever, appendicitis and va
rious other scourges have been greatly
by antisensis and surgery.
In addition to all OF this. while the
surgeon has made remarkable pro-

Polite Words Saved Her

During the siege of Paris and the Com mune,. in 1870, Mme. de Hegermann Lin- dencrone. an American. was living in Paris. and had a very narrow escape from violence at the hands of street mob, says the Youths Companion. Her own courage and courtesy were all that she could depend upon, and these served her well. She tells the story in the book, "In the Courts of Memory" She had been on a visit to Worth, the dressmaker. when the noise and shouting in the street sent everyone to the windows The street was filled with smoke and a mob was "howling and flying in every direction"
 My one though was to reach my car riage and get home as quickly as poss- blc I caught n glimpse of the carriage way up the street. and I saw a hand ges- ticuiating above the hehds of the crowds. which I recognized as Louis. It was the only one with a glove onl

 My horse had been unharnessed, and man was trying to lead him away, in spite of Louis remonstrances. The man had hold of one side of the bridles while Louis, with pluck unknown before. kept firm grip on the other. The horse was being tugged at on both sides; and had he not been the angel he was, there would have been trouble.

Cold Air From Freak Wcu

From a remarkable we'll on his land. ]. C. McSpadden of Tahlequah. Ok, ob- tains not only an abundance of water. al- most ice cold in the summer time. but also supply of chilled air, which he used to keep the Mcspadden home cooler on the hottest day than any summer re- sort. says the New York Times.
 It is a freak well all around. When the well was sunk 1t was Tor Il eistern. When about 50 feet deep the bottom broke through revealing a sort of cav ern, from which came tremendous flow of ice cold water. Apparently the supply Is inexhaustible, for the well was sunk years ago and the water has remained at the same level ever since.
 Ono may open the cover of this well and his hat will be lifted from his head by rush of air from the we'll that feels like an icy blast. Where the water and the cold air come from is a question no one has answered.

much professional study as there is now. This phase of the school has been stressed and such advancement has been made ltbat this school now ranks high as school for professional study. Three years ago the enrolment was 4S2; last year it was 562. and this year it is 6s3. or this number S25 have been studying for college CT taking professional courses.
 pr. Doster, dean of the summer school, has worked earnestly to give the teachers the courses most in demand and to ad- just tho summer school work to the pub lie schools of the state. He plans with the thought that the university summer school belongs to the teachers or the state and that it should be subject to their needs, and within the reach financially of all teachers. Striving to make it such, he has arranged courses that are giving the teachers the work they need and has assembled faculty of specialists ill the lines they are teaching at the sum- mer school.
 For those studying for the state exami- rstion there is instruction in the clemen- tary high school, and professional sub jects required for second, first and life certificates.

One student teacher showed a miniature representation of the Panama canal zone. 1t was given in detail on sand table, with the WI 1T represented by glass .ver blue paper, and with the sand nodded to show accurately the grounds at the canal. In one corner was shown, separately, a larger model of the canal itself, and the arrangement of the locks. All this Lad first been planned and drawn, ana then shown on the sand table.
 Another sand table showed 2 plot If ground divided into four indiyidual gar- dens with a plan for rotation of crops. Each of the four subdivisions was marked iii. rows and different sections were la beled for a variety of vegetables. Above the table was drawing of nina such plots for SC pupils.
 A third sand table showed a pi ,neer village and another showed the varied types of dwellings of different North American Indian tribes; the wigwam, the thatched-roof hut, and others.
 One young lady had designed 3. model school yard; teacher who Is familiar wish Mobile harhor had sand table showing that in detail, and another sand table was arranged as a modei barnyard. The animals were from the class in clay modelling and the houses were male in cardboard construction lessons.

 Maps of putty and of flour and salt
 were part of the work given in geogra-
 phy. They were put on very light board,
 braced at the ends.
 If such work be used next year by the
 teachers there Is sure to be clearer con-
 ception of geography and history and a
 increased interest in school work. The
 pioneer village, for example. will impress
 the children with the wildness of early

 Miss Nellie Chaffin of Troy assisted in the demonstration school.
 Historic Pageant Given In connection with the methods depart ment, a pageant showing scenes in the life of Columbus was given on the cam
 pus by 50 students from this department, and the students presented 1t under her direction. It was given that the teachers
 might understand from experience the in-
 terest felt by the study of customs. dress,
 speech, that would be necessary in pre-
 pairing the play and that they might see
 the difference in their conception of his toric events made by dramatizing. The summer students thoroughly enjoyed pre- senting the play. arranging improvised costumes, and setting the stage. The pageant was in five acts. The first showed Columbus before King John in Portugal. and the second was a private conference with Ferdinand and Isabella. The third showed him in consultation

college work in summer special classes were arranged, and for the large number of teachers interested in special subjects and specialization in certain branches there has been most excellent provision The latter has been an exceptionally strong point in khe work of the present term, and is a concrete expression of Dr. Dosters plan of giving the teachers those courses they want and need most.
 Department of Methods
 The department of methods has been, as in pas years. in charge of Miss Cath erine Gardner, principal of the training department at Troy Normal. Miss Gardner has worked with the intention that those teachers who have taken this course should leave the summer school with a clearer conception of real teaching, and with store of plans and usable ideas of vitalizing their work in any grammar grade. She has shown the teachers how to teach in such way that their pupils may realize and understand and appreciate the subject they study, that they may know things instead of knowing about things.
 Among other things Miss Gardner has lad the teachers work ont a number of demonstrations. especially il connection with history and geography of the inter- mediate and advanced grammar grades.

 Music Is Highly Praised
 Mir Blough, supervisor of music in Jef- ferson county schools, Is closing his sec- ond years work as head of the depart ment of public school music. The course he has given has embraced work from that of the first grade through the sev- enth grade. On Saturday evening. July II, his classes, assisted by sooists from Tus- caloosa. gave a programme in Morgan ball. The choruses and songs of four parts were the work of the summer school students to whom Mir. Blough had given instruction, and showed the excellent training he gives.
 Cooking Department Is New
 Like drawing and woodwork, cooking will be required in the county high schools with the coming year. and sum- mar training is in demand. To meet this demand department for cooking was established, with Miss Stella Palmer, do- mestic science teacher of the Florida Woman's college, and daughter of Dr. and Mrs Palmer of Montevallo. in charge. A class of 12 was anticipated. Instead there have been three classes with an enrolment of 79. One of these was a housekeeper's class and was com posed of ladies from Tuscaloosa, and others.
 The Standard oil company furnished the oil stove, and hardware dealers con tributed kitchen cabinets and cooking utensils, so that the cooking department has supply of necessary material. When 1t grew too large for It's quarters in one of the rooms in Smith hall. the mineralogy laboratory across the hall was pressed into service and a row of ol stoves were placed in there. Here again is the idea of adapting the school to the teachers needs. As far as it is possible, whatever is needed is supplied.
