Balanced Education Of Mind and Body
Should Be the Aim of Modem Schools
By SAMUEL c. DIXON, M. D.
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsylvsnis

A great essential has been neglected in the educa-
ton of the tens of thousands of young and women
who are graduating from the high schools and colleges
OF the country. They presumed to have been fitted
to meet the responsibilities and problems of life In
the majority of instances they have had mental but not
physical education.
Some few have devoted themselves to greater or
less degree to competitive sports This number is but
small fraction of those who nass through our schools

It is upon the bloodhound evidence
that the prosecution will rely in an
attempt to prove that Sweet muir
dered Nellie Byers, young Grant
county school teacher, whose body
was found mutilated on a lonely road
from the schOOIhoUse to her home.
But the defense for the young
farmland will produce DR.. E. H. Bal
lou, dentist, who will testify that the
tooth prints found on the girls body
could not have been made by Sweets
teeth.
DR.. Ballou's testimony will be as
strange as any ever given at muir
der trial Wills mObs were threaten
ing to lynch the prisoner, after
blOodhOunds led searchers to the
house in which Sweet lived, BalloU
made prints of the marks on the
body, compared them with impress
siOns of Sweets teeth and an
neunced that the suspects teeth
could not make such marks as he
found on the teacher.
On Oct % the almost nude body
of Miss Byers was found in a clump
Of weeds in a hole so yards from the
road
Most of the clothes had been torn
from the body. The sleeves of the
sweater. coat the girl had worn had
been knOtted about the neck and by
this garment the body had been
dragged through soapweed to the
hole in which it was found.
Sweet lived at the Jared Hanson |
house, within sight of the place |
where the murder was committed. |
He readily admitted he had seen the |
teacher the preceding afternoon near
the scene Of the tragedy and saw no
body that afternoon except her.
The bloOdhoUnds arrived Al hours |
after the murder. They followed a
trail to the Henson house, entered it !

It's so practical and proper in the
matter of style and serge-and-silk
suit is likely to remain forever.
But there are new variations, as
this sketch from Fashion Art League
of America will show.
Jersey silk serge in citron color
is used and banded at the bottom Of
the coat and the bottom of the skirt
with putty colored grOs grain silk.
The skirt has a fare that suggests
hoops; the long hip point of the coat
is a new note and the rolling collar is
worth nOting-it's new and much in
favor.

Arthur F. Stone of st. Johnsbury,
former editor of the Caledonian Of
that plac, and later of the Reporter,
wrote a letter to the CALIFORNIAN the
day before the presidential primary
urging voters to cast their ballots for
Governor Mccall Of Massachusetts, for
president. The counting of the votes
the next day showed that Caledonia
county gave Hughes 345 votes, Nc
Call 257, Roosevelt ISL, Wilson 173,
with IL scattering ballots. The letter
of Mr.. Stone, combined with the fact
that Gov. Mccall found his wife in
that county, and has always been a
frequent visitor to Lyndonville, EVIL
IDENTIFY did the work. But the vote
for Mccall throughout the state as a
whole was negligible, even though Mr..
Stone and Mr.. Ryder of Bellows Falls
and perhaps others, sought to fan the
