Cattle Ticks Soon Disappear.

up regularly until Aue t and the
ticks will all be gon-. Taking
two or three years to gct rid of the
ticks on a farm is entirely unnec-
cessarv and proves that the dipping
of all the cattle has not been done
regularly. The time has come
when to harbor ticks on a farm i,
an inexCusable crime against socic-
tv and the cattle and a disgrace to
the owner of the farm. Many will
not agree with this. 1t is not
meant harshly, but simply as a
plain statement of facts. For ten
years and more we have known
that it was easy TO get nd of ticks,
and for a much longer time the
injury they do has been well proved
so why is ii not fair, at this late

lieve that members of the board of
education who have children attend
ing parOchial or private schools can
not have the same interest and sym
pathy in the public schools as they
would, if their children attended the
public schools.
But when learned that Mr.. J. NJ.
Collins, former president of the board
of education, had his children edu-
Gated in paroChial schools l did not
come to the conclusion that he was
placed on the board of education so
that the Catholic church could get
control of our public schools. To me
it means only a political appoint
ment.
AS was said at the mass meeting in
the Auditorium a few weeks ago,
called by the Citizens league: THE
study of the board is a study in geog-
raphy, representing different nation
alities and religions"
have no objection to different ma
tionalities and religions being repre-
scented on the board of education,
provided the members are appointed
solely for their fitness for the posi-
ton and have at heart the welfare of
the children and schools of our city.
I would like to add a few words in
reply to Mr.. J. M. TagUe, writing in
The Public Forum. He says Is per
cent of the teachers in the public
schools are Catholics. If that be true
and they fill all the requirements of
law, they have a right to be there,
providing they do not force their
views on the schools. In the school
where I teach are Protestant, Cath
ole and Jewish teachers, a goodIy

short, so long as the Catholic
church refuses to support Americas
greatest patriotic institution (the
public school system) just so long
will Catholic teachers be out of place
in our public schools, and it is an i'm
pudence for them to ask to share in
an institution which they refuse to
support or recognize. Those Cath
ole teachers who have been released
have simply been dismissed from po-
sitions which they never had a pa
triotic or moral right to hold. Let
the Catholic church endorse and sup
port the public schools and there will
be no religious issue involved and

sitions they have been wrongfuIly
holding.-C. A. Dewey.

the following data concerning growth
of principal religious bodies within the
United States is taken. The association
furnishes the other data
The showing for 1915 is the largest
year in the history of churches in
America. The growth of numbers is not
remarkable, although encouraging, but
the spiritual condition. the advance in
equipment and in methods, the money
gifts for support at home and extension
abroad. and the leadership Of churches
in vast sums for war and other relief,
proves the year to have exceeded all

Out Of the ZOE, 100000 population in
the United States 39,375,271 members are

A second striking feature, due to the
war, and brought about in 1915. was
the manufacture and sale of Bibles in
the United States in larger numbers
than ever before. and their sale in
countries heretofore supplied by Eng
land. Along with the sale of Bibles
was also the sale abroad of Christmas
music that was composed and printed
in America. The war in 1915 changed
completely the sacred music market.
and to a large extent religious litera-
ture. giving America the lead as the
war has helped to do in so many other
lines.
