THINK 1T OVER

Suppose the time has come f o r
you to send your son or daughter
away to some school. Would you
be concerned as to the kind of
community into which they GO?
We believe that everyone will ans
wer in the affirmative. You would
like to send your child to a COM
munity that has the highest type
of citizens; community that will
be concerned about and take an
interest in these young people.
You will send your child to school
where you feel that the commun-
ity takes the greatest interest and
does what it can to remove all
temptation.
The people who send their sons
and daughters to River Falls take
it for granted that we are going
to watch over them. as We are
watching over our own children.
Are we performing our duty? So
long as we have large number
of open saloons that are a con-
slant temptation to the boys and
girls entrusted to US, we are not
performing our duty.
Whatever reason may be put
forth for saloons in other COM
munities, the same reasons will not
apply to River Falls. The larg-
est and most important single in
stitution in this city is the Nor
NAL school. 1t brings at this time
more than five hundred young
men and women into our midst.
The state is interested enough in
these young people to pay River
Falls $134 per year for each stu
dent that comes to the C h o o !.
The state is willing to pay this
sum in order to have these people
prepared to elevate the industri-
al, moral and religious standard
of the state.
But that is not all. The par
ents of these young people pay
River Falls 5000 for each student
who attends the school. We are
benefited, therefore, from these
two sources to the extent of 1894
for each student that comes into
our city.
We know that the open saloons
and other places of vice are det-
rimental to the best interests of
these young people. Before we
vote at the coming election, let
each one consider what is our du-
ty as community. 1t is to be
hoped that in coming to this con-
clusion we shall eliminate the per-
sonal element and consider care
fully the largest duty that con-
fronts us at this Understanding
these young people back to their
homes and back to the state with
a strong conviction as to what is
right, and will to put into exc
cutiOn these convictions.

Throughout history, man b S
sought reasons for natural phenom.
ena not readily understood. The
less he knows the more easily is he
satisfied with unreasonable explana
tons. Some popular explanations
of disease are as ridiculous as the
savage's explanation of fire, for ex-
ample.
The term sewer gas" sounds
mysterious and suggests poisoning.
There is certain plausibility about
attributing to it disease which is
not easily explained on other
grounds. When we know, however,
that probably all infectious diseases
are of germ origin and something
of the nature and habits of germs,
the old theories concerning sewer
gas will n ot hold. Further, it is an
interesting fact that workmen en-
ployed in large sewer systems are
rather more than ordinarily strong
and healthy.
Attributing contagious diseases,
at least, to sewer gas, is {. short
cut. 1t satisfies only those people
who are too lazy to, or can't, think.
Ghosts disappeared when people
took to chasing them with the ques-
ton mark. The question mark is
going to raise havoc with the sewer
gas bugbear amongst other disease
superstitions.

THE ARIsT0cRATIc NOSE
By E. S. Reed

The aristocratic nose is prom
inent Feature" of New England
scenery. 1t is the artistic orna-
mentation of SO many countenances
that l am prompted to a brief
discussion of it's genesis and de-
velopment. Boston. the Hub of
the universe and the metropolis of
New England, claims to have init
ated the science of it's cultivation.
We are willing to concede the dis
tinction to Boston. The "culchur-
ed" people of Boston have or
iginated more wise and more fool
ish "cults" than the people of all
the rest of the country. In fact
the denizens of the Hub pride
themselves in windy announce
ment of being the center and cir
cumference of ranscendentalis
knowledge of all things mater
iaI and immaterial, human and di-
vine." (By the way it is said that
Boston people live on b a d
beans. Perhaps this accounts for
it,
The aristocratic nose seems to
have attained the limit OF it's de-
velopment with Boston people of
Over-ripe culture. 1t is perfected
in these supereminent denzens of
the Hub, but elsewhere in New
England we find different stages
of it's development. In some in
stances we observe it as sprout-
ing or just "up." At this stage it
is vacillating, not always held at
the conventional angle. In other
cases the proboscis has gained
confidence, stiffened up, and is
maintained at an angle of defiance.
Here it is at it's best-or worst.
The snob of the best families in
herits the aristocratic nose. 1t
has been "handed down" from a
long line of ancestors who came
over from "Hold Hinglland, where
heliphants heat boats and 'ay.n
With the snob it is ito the man
ner born," but the toady has to
acquire it and it takes consider
able manipulating to bring his
"ugly pug" into fashionable shape,
for the aristocratic nose is never
a pug nose. It is delicate organ,
thin and sharp; a long nose with
a seeming tendency to project it's
self farther and farther from it's
base. 1t is observed that this
variety of nose seldom has smil-
ing countenance for it's base.
The prevailing countenance from
which this scornful nose protrudes
is characterized by frown of re-
polling aspect as if the wearer had
a chronic crouch or the stomach
ache. Perhaps this attitude has
tendency to prolOng the nose, the

SEWER GAS GHOSTS

In the good old days" ghosts
were frequently invented to have
something upon which to hang re.
sponsibility for deviltry which was
in no wise of spiritual origin.
Modern sanatarians are coming to
look upon sewer gas as ghost with
a similar pedigree. What is called
sewer gas is, in reality, only the air
of sewers. 1t smells bad. Smells
however don't cause disease. Ex-
periments have demonstrated that
sewer gas is apt to be purer, as re-
CARDS germs, than ordinary street
air. Whatever gases are given off
are in too small quantities to cause
disease.
Sewer gas has been, and still is,
popularity held to be responsible for
typhoid fever, measles, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, dysentery, and other
infectious diseases. We are certain
that all these diseases are due to
germs. The germs of typhoid fever
and dysentery are occasionally pres
ent in sewage. It's a mistake to
think they multiply or even thrive
there. Germs are solid matter. AS
such, they are not apt to be taken
up by the air of sewers. Nobody
would suggest that wet mud will
give off dust.

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW
BY Walter K. Towers, A. D.. J. D., Of the
Michigan Bar.
THE TEACHERS AUTHORITY

THE TEACHERS AUTHORITY
Every child who goes to school
and every parent who has a child
in school is interested in the ex-
tent to which teacher may con-
troll the conduct of the pupils both
in and out of school. 1t is we'll
settled that within the school
room the authority Of the teacher
is supreme. In the understanding
of the law the teacher has been
delegated the parents authority
to exercise while the child is with
in his care.
The teacher has the right to
maintain discipline and enforce
proper rules. In doing this, the
teacher may resort to physical
punishment, unless forbidden by
statute, as in New Jersey, or by
the rules of his superiors. But the
punishment which the teacher
may administer must be reason
able, and if it amounts to unrea-
sonable and unnecessary violence,
the teacher is liable to the pupil
in an action for assault and bat
terry.
While the pupil is within the
school the authority of the teach
er is complete, and in all ordinary
cases, exclusive. The irate par
ent may not interfere between
teacher, and pupil SO long as the
latter is within the school.
The question frequently arises
as to the authority of the teacher
while the pupil is either on the
way to school or on the way home
from school. Generally speaking,
both teacher and parent have au-
thority over the child during this
period, the teachers authority be-
ing considered necessary for the
maintenance of school discipline.
Not all states, however, recognize
this rule. For instant, New York
takes the position that the teach
er's authority does not extend be-
yond the school building and
grounds. The majority of the
states, however, follow the gener-
al rule stated above, and in not
a few states, as California, Penn
sylvania, Washington, Virginia,
New Jersey, etc., the teacher is
given this authority by state law.
In one recent case teacher
caned two of his pupils for fight
ing on the way to school. An ac-
ton was brought against the
teacher and it was strongly urged
that he had exceeded his author
ity in furnishing for an act COM
mitted away from the school pre-
misses. The judge took the fol-
lowing view of the matter:
"The power of the schoolmaster
to punish pupil is not limited to
acts which take place within the
four walls of the school premises.
His authority over the pupil is an
authority delegated to him by the
parent, and, though it would not
extend to the conduct of pupil
while under his parents roof,
when the parental authority would
be resumed, it must extend to the
conduct of the pupil on his way to
and from school.
