as small as those reported for the year.
Excluding trespassers, the total number of
fatalities in connection with railway operation
was only 1857. or less than for any years since
1900 and "a per cent less than in 1914, while the
number of passengers carried one mile in 1915

only 798, 100000 were carried; and the number

greatness, which had brought on him
such misfortune. He had nothing
now, and knew that he had refused to
aid his brother when that brother was
poor. So he hung his head and
walked sadly past the door.
Come in," called Otto. But Avel
kept on walking. Otto ran out and
asked his brother to come and live
with them. Avel saw that Otto had
no resentment, so he decided to stay
at home and try to repay the kindness
which he had received.
On the pretty farm the family lived
for many years happily. And none of
them ever again bothered the good
dwarf in the mountain forest. Some
times they would hear a shrill little
laugh on summers eve, but they
only smiled and said it was the dwarf
having a good time watching them
enjoy the blessings he had sent.

Spreading the Grip.

To the handkerchief is attributed the spread
of coughs, sneezes and grip. A recent bulletin OF
the department of health of Chicago, says:
So far as the handkerchief itself is concerned,
the cotton bandanna and the hemstitched linen
of milady are equally guilty. Pus from the nose
of culture and refinement is just as bad as that
from the hobo and bum. The perfumed handker-
chief simply disarms suspicion while it harbors
in it's folds an epidemic of discomfort and death.
The bandanna may be specially Objectionable be-
cause one may not so easily see how dirty it is.
But any handkerchief saturated with the secre-
ton from running nose is a menace when used
over and over again, and especially dangerous
when it becomes dry and source of contagious
dust. The fellow with bad cold usually blows
the rag full and wipes it in and out of his pock-
cts, soiling them and his hands and clothing with
the same secretion. ~'%
Why are these germ colds epidemic now ?
Simply because in warm weather, when windows
and doors are so much of the time open to fresh
air. the breezes well ventiate our houses and car
ry away bacteria in the draughts. People then
live much more sanely out in the open. Good
ventilation means fewer germs-germs diluted.
The cold season brings over-heated, indoor,
closed, stuffy spaces with over-crowding. When
people congregate in closed air spaces they each
contribute contamination of dust and dirt from
feet and clothing and many of them contribute
disease germs Of which they are carriers, though
seemingly well.
In other words, the same thing that makes
measles, chickenpox, mumps and similar contag-
ions spread among children housed in fall and
winter schools makes pneumonia, colds, influenza
colds, pus germ colds and other infectious colds
spread among people of all ages during the sea-
of i'll ventilation. Indoor close association of
people under bad air conditions and contamina-
ton from one human to another, through ignor-
ance and carelessness, is difficult to overcome
entirely.

Academic Freedom.

Academic freedom means that professor at
a college university has perfect freedom IN
expressing his views. It implies that if his opn-
ions are at variance with existing beliefs or prec-
edents, no muffler will be put on him if he pub
lcly expressed his views. Academic freedom is
the opposite of dogmatism.
Recently the abuse of academic free
dom has been forced into the foreground by the
attempts of some universities and colleges to sup
press and stifle faculty members whose opinions
differed with the heads of these institutions or
their hackers.
DR.. S. P. Capen, specialist in higher educa-
ton Of the United States bureau Of education
in his report to the secretary of the interior COM
ments as follows on the problem:
THAT there is always some pressure exerted
in academic communities, as elsewhere, to keep
radical propagandists quiet and to discourage de-
structive criticism of the existing order none will
deny. It's extent varies with the institution. AS
a rule, it is exerted subtly, often unconsciously,
in large universities which are supposedly free.
Generally it vanishes as soon as the right of free
speech is publicly preached. Within the past two
or three years. however there have been SO many
occurrences of disciplinary action directed by
trustees and presidents of prominent institutions
against professors reputed to hold unorthodox
political, economic, religious views that the
question of academic freedom has become tenn
porarily one of the foremost issues in university
administration. Upon it's correct settlement de-
ponds not only the integrity of the universities,
but, more remotely, the whole welfare OF Ameri-
can education.
DR.. Capen speaks well. Freedom of speech
is an inherent right and it ought not be stfled in
our institutions of learning. Suppression of free
speech belongs to tages that happily for us are
ancient history.

thought to get some berries to sell.
for we are very poor"
IF that is so," answered the dwarf,
II can help you. Hold your basket I'M
der the knot in this tree while say
some magic words and there will come
out stream of gold coins. But when
stop, for If a single coin rolls on the
ground all will vanish"
Otto held the basket under the knot
on the tree, and the dwarf shut its
eyes, waved its hands about in strange
figures and tapped the tree lightly.
Sure enough, out came rolling a
stream of shining bright coins that
sparkled gloriously in the afternoon
sun. When the basket was almost
full Otto called and the dwarf opened
its eyes. The coins ceased to come
and the tree closed up. So the boy
thanked the kind dwarf and went
home to show his mother his good
luck.
And very good luck it was, for they
bought a good farm, built nice
house, gave help to their poor friends
and lived comfortable life.
Now, when Avel heard that his
mOtHeT ana younger DrOLner were uO-
ing SO we'll he went home to ask how
1t happened. Otto told him about the
dwarf, the tree and the gold coins.
So Avel set out to the tree and began
at once to pull on 1t. The dwarf came
out just as he had done before and
asked the boy to leave his home alone.
81 will do nothing of the kind" Avel
replied, unless you give me basket
of coins" The dwarf told him to hold
the basket, but that he must remember
to remind him to stop when 1t was al
most full, else 1t would bring bad luck.
Avel held the basket while the
dwarf did his magic trick, and the
gold began to roll out Of the tree. But
when the basket was almost full he
did not tell. Il want all l can get, !"
he laughed, land l am not afraid Of
any bad luck: that dwarf just don't
want me to get enough" So the bas-
ket got SO full that two coins tumbled
out on the ground. In an instant the
whole basket and coins vanished and
in their place was big puddle Of
frogs, croaking.
Avel ran home ashamed Of his

gone off by himself. This left the
mother and Otto to do what they
could, and they managed to just keep
body and soul together by the greatest
care.
One cold day Otto went into the
forest and climbed up the mountain
to get at some red berries to sell in
the market. The tree from which he
wanted to get the berries was young
one, and as he wished to reach them
he bent it down until it almost
snapped.
"Oh, sir!" he heard a small voice
say. won't you please leave my home
alone?" and he looked down to see a
pretty wood dwarf peeping its head
up from under the trunk Of the tree.
Certainly" replied Otto. Il had
no idea I was disturbing you. just

work very hard and very long, but
with what he earned he was so selfish
that he did little for his family.
The other boy, whose name was
Otto, was delicate, but he did all he
could to help about the house and feed

kept continually complaining about it.

Railways Make Safety Record in 1915.

"The greatest improvement in safety of rail-
way operation ever recorded for year is shown
by the annual accident bulletin just issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission for the fiscal
year 1915" says the Railway Age Gazette in an
analysis of the commissions report. GAS re-
suit of the combined effect of the safety first
movement, of improvements in facilities of vari-
Gus kinds and of the slump in railway traffic
caused by the business depression, the accident
record of the railways of the United States for
1915 is in most respects the best ever reported,
even when allowance is made for the reduced
chances for accident resulting from the decrease
in traffic. It is necessary to go back several
years, to time when railway mileage and traf-
fic and the number of employees were all very
