able thing is the aggregation of Eng
fish teachers they have brought togeth-
er to put it into effect at the summer
school, beginning June %.
There is DR.. G. Alphonso Smith, Ed
gar Allan Poe professor of English in
the University of Virginia, formerly
professor of American history and in
situations in the University of Berlin,
author of a number of well known
books. Another is DR.. Leon III. Vim
cent, lecturer at Brooklyn institute and
University of Chicago, a maker of lit
erature himself and an authority on
some of its most important forms. An
other is DR., Henry N. Snyder, president
of Wofford college, a writer of rare
charm. These three men are grouped
together to do what one man ordinarily
undertakes-to give an insight into
characteristic literary forms. 1t is a
course in types of literature and in
cludes them all. each of the men de-
voting his attention to those forms with
which he has most thorough acquaint-
ance
DR.. Edwin Minis, professor of Eng
fish language and literature in Van
derbilt university, an author and an
editor of classics, gives a general sur
vey of English literature and courses
In important special phases.
Mr.. David M. Bishop, professor of
English in the University of Missis-
sippi, has charge of courses on the
dramatic poets and nineteenth century
prose writer's.
DR.. James r. Wharey, adjunct pro-
lessor of English in the University of
Texas, has charge of the work in Eng
fish composition. His courses are ar
ranged in such a way as to be of inter
est not only to those who are to teach
composition, but to those who may
mean to practice it.
Miss Lulu o. Andrews, for some
years teacher in the Virginia normal
schools and recent winner of high hon
ors in English at Teachers college, Co
lumbia university, has charge of course
In the teaching of English in primary
schools. Professor ]. w. Sewell, SUI
pervisor of English in the public
schools of Nashville and author of text.
books, has charge of courses on the
and Miss Stella s. Center, head of the
department of English in the Georgia
State Normal school. on tn teaching of
literature in high schools.
Another interesting phase of the mat.
ter is that the subject is approached
from every angle.
The expert in English in the public
schools touches shoulders with the ex-
pert in English In the university. The
subject Is taken care Of at every
point where it can be practically ap-
piled.
The Importance of establishing the
English curriculum in George Pea
body College For Teachers at the out
set of its career was realized very
early in the process of preparation for
opening. TO DR.. Minis, largely. vas
assigned the task of working out the
details. He himself is an English
teacher Of long experience and of wide
acquaintance with English teachers
throughout the country. his success
In working out a curriculum at once
comprehensive and minute and putting
It in the hands of a remarkable corps
of teachers is n of the things that
the institution is proudest of, as it pre-
pares to open its doors to the teach
ars of the south,

GUARD AGAINST
 CHOLERA IN N. Y.

New York, Oct. 1-Bvery precaution possible is being taken by Dr.. Joseph J. OsConne1l, Health Omicer of the Port, to prevent the entrance here of cholera plague which has developed among the wounded in the Austrian army in the Ga1icias district in Aus tria-Hungary
 An steamships coming from the Ad- riatie Sea and other European ports where there is a possibility of persons from the war zone being passengers must undergo a close inspection and the passengers an examination by health officials in this port.
 Orders have been issued to this eff feet bys pr OpConne1l, who asserts that there is no need of alarm in this act only as a. precaution against the disease getting in here. This he said, is virtually an inpossibiIity.
 pr. O'Connel1 has issued the follow ing order regarding the plague:
 "ChoIera having been reported in epidemic form in Eastern Russia in Austria and among the troops engaged in hostiIlttes on the eastern frontier of the present European war, it is here by ordered that all vessels coming from ports on the Adriatic Sea. east of Italy and the Black Se4 shall be subJected to most careful examination as to their sanitary condition, and all passengers on board thereof and all members of the crews of said vessels shall be carefully examined for evil dences of choleraic infection g
 pr. OiConneu was advised by cable that similar precautions against the ports on the eastern Mediterranean had been taken by the Italian govern ment. At his direction. Dr. Oscar Tea gue, Director of the. new Quarantine Laboratory, is organizing a corps of coIera experts to contend with a possi- ble outcome of the present hostilities which may affect the maritime com merce Of this and other American

Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound. ]" = Mrs. P. W. LANSING, Route No. 1, Florence, South Dakota.
 Why will women continue to suffer day in and day out or drag out 8 sickly, half hearted existence, missing three-fourths of the joy of living, when they can find health in Lydia B. Pinkham' g Vegetable Compound?
 For thirty years it has been the stand ard remedy for female ills, and has re- stored the health of thousands of women who have been troubled with such ail- ments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, turnors, irregularities, etc.

HAVE Us HENfNED

The following from the Tampa
Times shows, We fear, that the in
terror need expect no more help
from Jacksonville in the way of JUS
tice in freight rates:
president F. c. Bowyer of the
board of trade has returned from
Ocala, where he attended the hearing
before the railroad commission Mr.
Bowyer said: The railroads showed
that water competition at Tampa had
forced the present low rates and lit
tie commerce is now moving on these
rates. They claimed that to advance
them would shut the rail carriers out
of the Tampa market and do no good
to Ocala or intermediate points.
They say the enforcement of this
law will necessitate an advance in
the rates or bankrupt the railroad. It
is believed that the railroad commits
