CATCHING Appendicitis.

Isn't il charming how frequently our
prophecies, uttered in this domain of
dogma, come true! On two or three oc-
c~asions, we are quite sure, il has been OBJ
served that the far-sighted conductor of
these talks harbors a strong suspicion that
a great many eases of appendicitis are
nothing else than the localization in the
appendix of bacteria which have entered
through the nose or throat in an attack Of
'cold' or sore throat.
This observation is purely clinical-put-
ting two and two together ut the bedside
and making six or eight of it. But now,
we are happy TO announce, good scientific
evidence Is at hand TO support the bare
clinical fact. The conclusion is greatly
strengthened that you car really catch APP
pendicitis-but not ncce--..rily from an
other case Of appendicitis; no, YOU can
catch it from a plain coryza or a simple
sore throat or tonsilitiS Just a well. which

DR.. H|BBEN PLEADS
FOR SMALL CLASSES

ATLANTIC CITY. Dec 3O.-A plea for
small classes was made by John Grier
Hihben. president OF Princeton Irniver-
sity. in an address at the sixty-frst an-
nual meeting OF the New Jersey State
Tea achers Association.
1T Is of great advantage to the teach
or to possess sympathetic under
standing OF the personal factor which
enters into his problem OF dealing with
the individual student" said DR.. Hibben.
at Is impossible for one teacher to
exert his powers satisfactorily upon a
large body of students. He cannot mold
the mass, but he can influence the IN
dividual. The student is easily disCour-
aged. the teacher must supply courage
and sustain IT,"
The women delegates won their fight
to leave unchanged the syestem Of rep
resentation. They say that the proposed
change would place the rural districts
In power. The women also managed to
sidetrack the resolution advocating mill
tary instruction in the public schools,
but the fight on this will come tomor-
row when the matter Is brought up on
the floor.
