IN THE CARPATHIANs

THE country all round Cracow
and stretching away southwark is
flat. and agriculture is almost the sole
occupation OF the people," writes
James Baker in Austria: Her Peo-
pie and Their Homelands." "The
peasantry in their white Jackets and
blue breeches and jackboots, the wo-
men with their large shawls and brill
liant headdress, form picturesque
groups in the country marketplaces
and in the fields that are well culti-
waited. Horses. and especially ponies
are very plentiful in the fields, dairy
work flourishes, and poultry Is well
looked after. But II the central por-
ton Of Gallcia is flat, on her border
lands are the various sections Of the
great Carpathians Mountains, and
south OF Cracow. about a hundred
kilometers as the crow flies, is
paradise for .mountaineer,
botanist or geologist, in that section
OF the Carpathlans known as the
High Tatra Mountains.
"The marvellous diversity OF life and
scenery in Austria lends a strange
and delightful charm to travelling
amongst her people. Dramatic chang
es are continuousy succeeding each
other. and this is strikingly illustra-

CURRENT THINKING
OLIVER CROMWELL

Curiously enough. Cromwell, leader
of rebellion against tyranny, ended
his days as a despot in Whitehall.
the royal residence Of Charles /.
Few men have been more various
ly judged than oliver Cromwell. His
enemies admit his genius as a mill
tary leader. His contemporaries, with
the exception OF his most devoted fol-
lowers. believed that he had sacrifi-
ced his ideals TO his ambition. but
Macaulay has disputed that concep-
tion.
Cromwell was a country gentleman
of modest means, and a member OF
the Parliament which had so many
difficulties with Charles. In the quar-
rels between the King and the Parlia-
ment other men took a more active
part than he. but when the war broke
out Cromwell soon showed that he
was the most remarkable military
leader of the nation.
After the execution Of Charles l..
England. which had been united
monarchy for centuries. was pro-
claimed a republic. But the nation
was still SO divided in opinion that
the repuglic was one in name only.
No king or house of lords fastened
unwelcome legislation upon the people
but the real ruler was Cromwell.
With terrible cruelty he conquered
Ireland in 1862, and with less trouble
overcame an uprising in Scotland.
He was soon embrolled as bitterly
with the Parliament as Charles had
been. Some of the members who had
fought against the tyranny imposed
by the King wanted to be tyrants
themselves in power; others proved
weak. accepted bribes and threatened
to make the legislative body as un-
popular as the King had been. Final
ly Cromwell lost patience with them.
Come come" he blurted out, I'VE
have had enough of this. I'll put an
end to this. It's not fit that you
should sit here any longer" He call
ed in his soldiers, turned out the
members, and yet believed that his
action had been justifitable, and that
the similar deed Of Charles had not
Cromwell was offered the crown,
which he refused to accept, and for
five years ruled as lord protector. I'm
der his guidance France and England,
enemies for generations, fought side
by side as they are doing today; beat
ing back the menace of Spain. which
still threatened to gain the mastery
of western Europe.
Wornout by his efforts, he died in
1858, before he had reached his seth
birthday. At the restoration of the
monarchy three years later oliver
Cromwell stood in the minds of Eng
lishmen as the personification of all
that was evil. His body was exhumed
and hanged on a gallows. Then the
head was severed and set up on West
minister Hall for more than 20 years
Yet Pepys wrote in 1867 that "it isl
strange how he and everybody dol
nowadays reflect upon oliver, and
commend him, what brave things he
did and made all the neighbor prin-
ces fear him: while here a prince,
come I'm with all the love and prayers
and good liking of his people,, hath

Pupils Prom Home Having Contagious
Disease Barred From School.

The following communication was
sent to the county superintendent to
be distributed to the clerks of school
boards.
Boise, Nov. 10, 1915.
Clerks of School Boards,
Dear Sir
, Section 664 of the School Laws pro-
vides as follows:
Exclusion Of Pupils From Infected
Households.
Section 664.-The school trustees OF
the various school districts in the
state shall not allow any pupil TO
attend the public schools while any
member of the household to which
such pupils belongs is sick of small
poX, diphtheria, scarlet fever or other
contagious or infectious disease, dan
gerous to public health, or during the
PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS after the
death, recovery or removal of such
sick person; and any pupil coming
from such household shall be requir-
ed to present to the teacher of the
school the pupil desires to attend, a
| certificate from the attending physi-
clan of the facts necessary to entitle
| him to admission in accordance with
the above regulations.
Section 666 provides as follows;
/ Sec. 666--Any school trustee or eth
er person violating any Of the pro-
visions of this article shall be DENIM
| ed guilty of misdemeanor.
| We find that many of the schools
of the state are permitting children te
return to school before the required
two weeks have elapsed after re-
covery from a contagious disease The
contagious diseases coming under this
section are:
Infantile paralysis, cerebrospina
meningitis, diphtheria, typhoid fever
smallpox, mumps, scarlet fever, mem
branous Group, measles, whoopinf
cough, chickenpox
Where health officers and physi
clans give Re-admission to Schoo
Certificates before the required two
weeks have elapsed the school super
intendents should not accept tbes'
certificates.
We request that you strictly en-
force this law
