The Lancet of London, in March of
last year, contained an account of the
discharge by DR.. Victor c. Heiser of
the San Lazaro hospital for lepers at
Manila of two lepers who had been
free from leprosy for two years. Other
cases were mentioned to show cumu-
lative evidence of the value of treat
ing leprosy with chaulmooga oil, COM
bined with camphor ana resorcin ad-
ministered hypodermieally. Chaulmoo-
gra oil is made from takatogenos kur-
Iii seeds.
2,6l5 lcpers at the end of 1912 The
report of the Philippine commission in
1912 said:
Chaulmoogra oil, when taken con
tinually over long periods of time, con-
tinues to prove most useful in treat
ing the disease, and results in some
apparent cures. Unfortunately, most
persons experience great difficulty in
taking it.
Twelve colonists who had been
treated with chaulmoogra oil were sent
to Manila apparently cured of leprosy,
but it was subsequently necessary to
return two of them who had suffered
relapse.
After the government began to iso-
late lepers by sending them to Culion
Il number Of new buildings were erect
| cd including ten reinforced concrete
structures. An improved water sup
| Iply was introduced and good bread
supplied. Other steps were taken to
make life in the colony attractive to
| those afflicted with the disease

Committee and Supervisors
Make Annual Statement
to District
BOARD WOULD LIMIT
FUTURE ACTIVITIES
Thinks Expenses Are About as Large
as They Should Be Until Population
Increases - Opinion on New State
Educational Laws

Many valuable suggestions and much
interesting reading are contained in
the annual report of the Incorporated
school district, just being issued from
the press. Much space is taken in a
statement of the new educational laws
and discussion of the situation Incl
dent thereto, and the past year s work
in the district is reviewed comprehen-
sively. There is frank disagreement be-
tween the prudential committee and the
principal on some matters, but not in
any unfriendly way, and the import
ance of the accomplishments of the year
are recognized by all the department
heads.
The school board, E. O. S. Osgood
and A. /. Miller, pay a deserved tribute
of respect to the late Judge ]. L. Mar
tin, who was n member of the board,
and then take up a discussion of va
rious matters, some of which are sug-
gested in the principals and super
visors reports.
| Principal f. b. Smith calls attention
! to an important change in the law, in
creasing the age limit at which chill
dren may be received into school, and
Isays that sooner or later it win affect
membership in the high school He
suggests dropping the ninth grade and
ldividing the work of the 12-year system
so that the first six grades would form
the elementary school and the next
six grades the secondary school Grades
Iseven to - would then be under high
lschool management. He also advocates
1.-THE purchase of a farm to be used IN
connection with the work of the high
ehool. emphasizing the desirabilitv OF
establishing as soon as possible courses
in agriculture.
As to these things the committee
says: . His views with respect to the
establishment of a course in domestic
science and the adoption of the p
grade system, we approve of, on the
whole, although we believe that mucl
, preliminary study and examination
/ Twill be necessary before such change:
| should be made, and that they cannot
.be carried ont successfully until addi
Etional space is provided for IN the higl
, school building by the removal of th'
lower grades to the new school house Il
be erected eventually on the Hines
property. The matter of purchasing
farm to facilitate the teaching of agri
Ecuiture, in connection with the worl
? of the high school, we are unable t
consider seriously at this time, in viev
of the multitude of fresh problem
, such departure would involve and tn
great additional expense to the district
In our Judgment, it is not dcsirabl
Ito add new courses too rapidly to on
Ipresent curriculum, even were we in
D position to afford it. We need to ad
e vance intensively, as well as exter
e lsively, in the bringing up of a syster
Iof education.
Supervision Discussed.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-07-16
Supervision Discussed.

The attitude of the committee to- |
ward the new law relating to the
Esehool supervision is stated as follows: |
lEWhile we are in hearty sympathy
with the idea of statewide supervision
and believe it will be great aid in
the case OF rural schools where the
need is most deeply felt, yet, situated
as we are, the law, if literally enforced
land at once, NAV work injury. In or
der to make our meaning clear, let us
lpresent the facts as they stand. For
| the past 30 years or more our schools
| have actually been under supervision.
| An efficient woman, versed in teaching,
accustomed to normal methods, and
with a thorough understanding of the
relations existing between instructor
and pupil, has worked with the grades,
while the principal of the nigh school
has had general charge in his depart
,ment--the Office of the prudential com
Imittee being to oversee the entire sit
Iuation, to direct, to give advice, or to
WISELY restrain, as seemed best. The
ipresent supervisor has held her office
for the past seven years with ever in
icreasing efficiency, so that now our
graded schools rank among the best In
the state. The present principal has
J served for the past ten years; his Ia
lbors have been crowned with success;
and the school under his charge stands
+. high, both as to numbers of pupils
| seeking an education there and as to
! the excellence of work done prepara-
! tory to more advanced courses whether
in technical school or college. Now the
law requires that all this shall be
l'changed We must dismiss our super
+. visor of grades, diminish the duties OF
Jour high school principal in various di-
rections, and accept as superintendent
over the whole district, some man APP
pointed to that office by the eommls-
4 sioners of education. Our supervisor
! Miss Wellman, had received her ap-
Ipointment for next year from the pru-
O Dental committee before the passage
o of the law, and during the spring has
il been busy preparing for the work OF
