SAFETY FIRST IDEA GETS IN

The subject Of hygiene will be empha-
siaed more than ever in the public schools
of Greater Omaha during the school year

OF study for guidance of the elementary
grade teachers contains an extensive out
line pertaining to the health and safety
of the children. The following reference
to this general subject is quoted from
the new course of study which has just
been published
Children must be shown that a neglect
OF the laws of health is menace. not
only to the body. but to the minds and
morals as we'll, and drill in health habits
during the school life will help in large
measure toward the solution OF the prob

defective vision. imperfect hearing, the
evil consequences of the cramped posi-

periods of study and confinement and
the danger of engaging in games for
which the child is unfit. The importance
to both mind and body of well-nourished
nerve cells, good digestion. lung eNpan-
sion and normal circulation of the blood
will be enforced in the propagation of
the gospel of health.
Life Growing Complex.
ut will be agreed by everyone that life
Is constantly growing more complex and
that an individual must be more effective
than ever IL he Is to become adapted to
his environments. This means that he
will have to generate more energy than
his ancestors did ana not expend it with
out profitable issue"
Superintendent Graft and nearly 1000
teachers who will begin the new school
year in a few weeks ask the cooperation
of the parents of nearly $4,000 public
school children Of Greater Omaha in stiIn-
ulAtlng the thought that 'the most
precious boon is good health" and work
TO the end that the children may enter
the world of affairs well and strong and
properly equipped physically to engage in
the struggle for existence and to become
the most effective units possible in the
community"
The new hygiene course will be
adapted to the children from first to
eighth grades.
To Teach safety First.
In the safety first division OF this
course the girls will be taught the evil
consequences of alighting from street
cars, facing against the direction Of the
car Boys will be instructed how to re-
move fishhooks from their hands.

FOUR IBLOODLESS
BATTLES FOUGHT

The battle Of Futtehprre. one Of four
fights in eight days. in the midst Of
forced march Of l2G miles to the relief
Of Lucknow. was as far as the. small
British force Is concerned absolutely
bloodless. and Havelock's classical ''0r.
der Of the day" puts the fact on record
In one Of the battles against Akbar
Khan In Afghanistan the result was
almost equally surprising. 1t was the
punitive expedition Of 1912 after the
massacre ut Kabul and the horrible re-
treat from which only DR.. Brydon es.
capped. This battle made up some.
what for the frightful disaster. for the
victory could not have been more com.
plete.
The Afghans were driven headlong
into the river. and camp. baggage. ar
tillery. horses. standards and arms Of
every kind were captured. together
with abundant ammunition and prOvi-
sions. while Akbar lied. Yet the Brit
lsh only had ten killed.
Probably the only bloOdless cam
paign ever undertaken by the British
was the Abysstniun expedition against
King Theodore led by Lord Napier Of
Magdala. 1t was this bl0odless war
which gave him his title.
Although the British army consisted
Of 10000 men and although they were

fight. and although they stOrmed Mag.
dala. situated ON cliffs so steep that 1t

yet not life was lost on the British
side.
II the last Ashanti expedition against
King Prempeh could be dign!tied by

be added to the list of blootlless wars.
