Women Teachers Have Good Reason
For Dreading Tuberculosis.

wi DlSd0ilJ oDei uiOStS.
That teachers are especially prone to
tuberculosis is the statement made by
the bureau of educational hygiene of
the city of New York. This department
says that this disease is 20 per cent
more prevalent among teachers than
among others Of corresponding sex and
age and that about half of all deaths
among women teachers is caused by
tuberculosis. and this in spite of the
fact that teachers belong to Il better
aye.
Strenuous, nerve taxing work that
caUscs physical exhaustion and nerve
breakdown is given as tho main cause.
Tcrm#n states that -four hours of ac-
tual teaching represent about eight
hours of ordinary office work. What
is probably the second cause is lack
OF sufficient rest md regular exercise
III the open air.
Speaking along this line, the state
board OF health says: The wan, tired
look that usually marks the teacher.

MUCH INTEREST IN
SCHOOL CONFERENCE

The Sunday School conference held
in the Presbyterian church was e
most pleasing success. The attend
ance was quite satisfactory, and the
interest manifested was gratifying.
The speakers were listened to with
the closest attention and the addresses
given were worthy of the most care
ul consideration. Miss Rose Scott
spoke both at the afternoon and even
ing sessions, as did DR.. Speer.
Rev. Paul Stevens is one of the best
known Sunday school organizers. II
is his hobby, his passion, and he
makes you feel the Importance of thii
vast work. Miss Scott is full Of mis-.
sionary enthusiasm and her citing
forth of the missionary objects OF
the church was most vivid.
Rev. DIR. Speer spoke in the even
ing on the Every Member Campaign
and there could hardly be a better
setting forth of this most important
part of the church's program than was
his presentation of it.
The same team held similar
meeting in Imperial On Tuesday and
one in Coachella on Thursday. The
effects of the conference will doubt
less be felt in the life of the church
in the coming year Of service.

PUPILS HAVE GET
 RICH QUICK IDEA
Losning of School Books Brings Out Fact That They Have Been Work
 ing Graft

State Superintendent of Education C. o. Case sent out a supply of receipt and demit blanks to the county super intendents Of schools yesterday. to be used in bringing in the supply of books loaned to pupils during the past year.
 II is necessary in order to keep an accurate account of all books loaned 10 the pupils. 10 have each teacher re- port the manner in which the books are treated. If they are not used with de- cency, and returned in good shape, the youngsters are fined. In this connec- tion it has come to the notice of var ious school teachers, that the kids were working the levying of fines as a means of graft from their parents.
 One case in particular was brought rather boldly. A young boy had been going to his father regularly about once a week. and telling him that he had been fined various amounts rang ing from ten cents to fifty. The fath- CT feeling the necessity of his son re- taining possession of the books. had each time produced the change as de- manded. The requests for money with which to pay fines, became so insist ent and so often, that parental inves- tigation was started with the result, that Johnny or whatever his name hap pened to he. was caught up short in his nefarious scheme to get rich quick.
