KILBoRNs BODY ExHUMED.
To Determine Whether Death Was
 Due to Accident.


 A press despatch from Oswego. ". r., Friday stated that the body of John Kuborn, a travelling salesman who died in hotel in this city a num- Der of weeks ago had been exhumed to determine, if possible. whether the death was due to an accidental cause.
 At the time of Kilborn's death Dr. J. B. Kent, medical examiner, made a return to Coroner A. G. Bill giving the cause of death as probable heart fail ure and intemperance. There was also a note in Dr. Rents report showing that the man had an abrasion near the bridge of the nose, this probably having been sustained when Kilborn may have fallen against a marble slab near the faucet where 1t is believed he went to get a drink of water.
 A son of the deceased came here following his fathers death and ar ranged for sending the body to Mex fco, N. r., for burial.
 Friday an agent of an insurance company that carried an accident pol icy covering Kilborn, was in this city Investigating the matter. It is under stood that Kilborn's relatives have made a claim to recover under the terms of this policy on the ground that Kilborn's death was due to acci- dental causes.
 The body was exhumed to ascertain whether Kilborn had actually suffered a fracture of the skull when he re- ceived the bruise that was noted near the bridge of his nose soon after his death.

 Improvement Needed.
 It now appears probable that State Highway Commissioner Charles T. Bennett will soon ask for bids for the permanent paving of Main street in the business section. It certainly needs It. The commissioner has been con- sider1ng this improvement for some tune and has made two visits to Dan ielson.
 It is expected that bids will be asked for within a few days, the contract promptly let and the work undertaken and completed before cold weather. The state will pay the cost It is ex- pected that reenforced concrete will De used. this making a highly satis- factory and durable road
 If the plans go through, it has been suggested that those who are in the habit of digging up Main street for pipe lines, etc, do all the work of this kind possible and that can be fore seen, before the pavement is put down.

Community civics helps the child
to know the meaning of his commun-
ity life, not merely a lot of facts
about it," says a bulletin Just issued
by the L. S. Bureau of Education.
This bulletin was prepared by four
members of the committee of social
studies of the National Educational
association-Dr. j. Lynn Barnard,
school Of pedagogy Philadelphia; f.
w. Carrier, principal of Wilmington,
(Mass.) high school, Arthur w. Dunn,
specialist in civic education, U. S.
Bureau of Education; and Clarence
d. Kingsley, of the Massachusetts,
board of education.
THE significance Of the term com
mnnity civics' does not lie in its geo
graphical Implications says the bul-
letin, "but applies this point of view
to the national community as well.
Emphasis is laid upon the local COM
munity because it is one with which
every child-cltizen has most intimate
relations, and for that reason it is
easier for him to enter into actual
cooperation with it.
The authors of the bulletin make
clear that the term "citizenship" is
used broadly. The good citizen" they
say, lis a person who habitually con
ducts himself with proper regard for
the welfare of the community of
which he is member, and is active
and intelligent in his cooperation with
his fellow members to that end"
Community civics, according to the
bulletin, should be taught in the ele-
mentary grades of the public schools
and should be continued in a more
comprehensive course in the first
year of the high school. Many pu-
pills do not enter high school at all;
and those who do should already have
begun to acquire habits of civic
thought and action. The greater
maturity of the high school pupil
makes possible the development of
phases of the subject that are i'm
practicable in the elementary school. y
Many courses in civics fail" the
authors think, because they fix at
tention upon the machinery Of gov
ernment rather than upon the ele-
ments of community welfare for
which government exists. They ia
miliarize the pupil with the manipu-
lation Of the social machinery with
out showing him the importance of
the social ends for which this ma
chinery exists. A lesson in commun-
ity civics is not complete unless it
