consideration at the hands Of the edu-

1t is true that there Is none of the
dreaded disease in this city at the
moment, there is always a degree Of
certainty in safety. Many Brunswick
children have been away and are now
away for the summer; there is no
telling whether or not they have been
exposed to infantile paralysis. Let
us hope and trust that such Is not the
case. In any event. 1t would be the
part OF safety keep he little tots

that must come with the school life.

in our country that the poor must
learn to live without eating meat,
