w. G. Bate. principal of the Man
kato high school. is the author OF a
comprehensive article entitled "Vo-
Cational Guidance in Small City"
which appeared In the August num-
her OF the American School Board
Journal. Mr.. Bate gives a concise ac-
count of a years experimental work
in giving vocational guidance to the
students. and shows that good re-
suits are being accomplished. He
states that the vocational guidance
work will be continued this year
from his office through cooperative
effort OF the heads of the special de-
Eartments and the good will and CO.
operation from other teachers. An
interesting account Is given of the
work undertaken by committee OF
the Mankato teachers last year to So :

Toronto Physician Makes Some
interesting Suggestions
From Fridays DAILY.

From Fridays Daily.
Rochester. n. Y. September 10.-A
Canadian physician. DR.. c. ]. Has
tings of Toronto. suggested some
thing new and interesting to the
American Public Health association
meeting here today. He suggested a
public health nurse, who would earn
her salary as Chinese physicians earn
theirs, by keeping the public well.
The qualifications OF public
health nurse" he said. ''in addition
, to her training in recognized school
for the training OF nurses. require
that she must have a special training
as tuberculosis nurse: as child
welfare nurse, as school nurse.
a training in hygiene and sanitation !;
a training i'm social service.
which will equip her to be q
/ efficient social service agent, and
I'm fact, she must be the hOmemaker
caring for the race from the prenatal
1 state until IL passes on to the next
cycle OF existence. Heretofore chill
dren have been neglected until they
enter school-before which, ofttimes,
, irreparable damage has been done.
Knowledge of Disease Sources.
The knowledge of the sources OF
| disease and the various ways and
| means by which II Is transmitted from
one person to another has for years,
, for the most part. remained within
the precincts of the university and
| laboratory. This knowledge must he
democratized or translated into Ian
guage that can be assimilated by the
housewife in the humblest home and
1 By the man on the street. This can
! undoubtedly best be accomplished b.
the public health nurse"
That present statistics on death
rates are meaningless and useless
was the declaration OF f. &. Levy, Of
| Richmond. Va. No distinction as Ia
| conditions are made. he said. nor as
! TO preventable and non preventaBiG
diseases. The work done by a good
health officer, in his opinion. finds no
| reflection in such statistics.
Meaningless Figures.
Vital statistlcians," said Levy,
! have been satisfied to publish mean
1 ingless figures aud force the health
officer to get out Of the resulting diff
| ilCulties as best he might II is time
we call on them to deliver the goods.
DR.. John w. Tragk. OF the United
States public health service. gave II
as his belief that the high death rate
among colored people is not inherent
in the colOred race and that the stu
alton can be remedied in this coun
try.
The only way to beat the house
fy's game. according to DR.. L. NJ. Nc
| Cormick of Asheville. y. C.. is to play
1t the housefiy's way. which is char
acterized chiefly by persistence. None
of the killing systems will serve
of themselves. he said. cities must
clean up and keep clean.

st. Paul, September 10.-The state
of Minnesota probably will bring &C
ton soon TO collect from the federal
government from $4,000 to $4,000
as payment for timber cut from state
lands. according to announcement at
the office OF j. A. o. Preus, state au-
ditor.
The attention OF the state auditor
has been called to the matter by one
OF his assistants, b. +. Case, who has
been estimating timber at Cass Lake,
which he declares is all that Is left.
Mr.. Case added that the government
land has been cut over, and that II
would be well for the state to dis
pose OF It's holdings while there Is
an opportunity to do so.
I'm my investigation" said Mr..
Case today. II have found consider
able state land that the timber has
been cut from under government sale
and supervision in the last twelve
years. For some time have known OF
this condition, but have never been in
close touch with the different de-
scriptions of land until the last few
weeks. "
"A close investigation. I believe,
will reveal cut of from 100000 to
100000 feet of pine timber which,
valued at the sale price obtained by
the government. would amount to
from $4,000 to $4,000"
Mr.. Case added that the money has
gone into the Indian fund and that II
would necessitate action by congress
to reimburse Minnesota.

Charles b. Clarke's bill which would
require press associations to furnish
their service to any one. demanding
it, and which passed the Senate yes
terday, was handed down to the
House today and was referred to the
Committee on Printing, When the
bill passed there was no debate. Sena-
tor Clarke simply stating that the bill
was designed to prevent monopoly.
Neither was there any comment today
when the bill came to the House.
Senator Clarke said tonight that
there was little occasion for comment
that the terms of the bill were plain
and would doubtless be understood by
all familiar with press service. He
said he was confident that the House
would pass it and that the Governor
would sign 1t, and that the public at
large would be benefited thereby. So
far as can be learned there has de-
veloped no fixed opposition to the
measure.
