prominent man to appear. preferably a

permitted to register as man and wife

him.

He was taken to the federal building

MANY VITAL FACTS SCHOOL
CHILDREN WILL NEVER LEARN

PEELED these sick teachers to subordin-
ate the hazards OF doing those things
which their physical condition made
next to impossible to the stern neces-
sity of earning money through the use
of broken or damaged instruments.
The automobile owner sends his car
to the repair shop at the first indica-
tion that something is wrong. but the
school teacher is unable to afford the
luxury of a repair shop unless ac-
tually driven, through fear of death,
to seek such help.
The total number of applications
for excuse of absence for all causes
in the year 1913-1914 among this one
group of teachers was ,4,14S. The
total time lost by their illness was
6S,442 days. The four prevalent all
ments responsible for this loss were
diseases of the respiratory organs, in
fectious diseases, diseases of the nerv-
Gus system, and diseases of the di-
gestive system.
The throat and lung troubles it was
found constituted 35 per cent. of the
diseases, actute contagious diseases 1
per cent, nervous diseases Is per cent,
and digestive disorders II per cent. ..
1t is significant indeed that these
four diseases, as we have frequently
seen, follow in the wake of disturbed
metabolism with its corresponding loss
OF resistance and immunity.
The diet of the sheep is always
natural and normal. The diet of the
cow and the hog is frequently un-
natural and abnormal. The condem-
nations, made by the veterinarians and
their assistants of the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry in the federal inspected
slaughterhouses of the United States,
show that the COW and the hog, like
the school teacher. suffer from the
same diseases and in the same way.
"The fact disclosed by our investi-
cations" declared the committee head
ed by DR.. Oswald Schlockow. that
over one-fifth of the entire teaching
corps of the city was absent because
of illness during one school year in
dicates the existence of an administra-
tive problem of great moment.

termines the efficiency of the entire
educational system of the community

mittee on school problems to urge

According to records compiled by a
committee. headed by DIR. Oswald
Schlockow at the behest of the Brook
lyn Teachers Association, and made
public November IA, 1915, 20 per cent.
of the teachers during the school year
of 1913-1914 were absent from illness.
All the data in the report was OBJ

mitted by teachers to the board of
superintendents for the refund of sal

illness.

IL TOOK few days for Myra to ac-

tngly to Grace.
But although she might laugh, she
was bit worried at her disinclina-
ton to apply herself to any set task.
Grace, however, came up under the
new conditions as a wilted flower

mother that she was glad that the lat

BY the end of three days she had
met them. Mr. Dayton had intro
duced her to Sylvia Ainslie and the
girl and man with whom she had been
on the evening of the Webbs' arrival
Other introductions followed, and in
week Grace was on speaking terms
with most of the hotel guests.
Myra Hard at Work
AND by the end OF that week Myra
had, as she expressed it, found her
SELF again and was able once more
to take up her work. Yet she was
still so tired that it required an eff
fort to drive her to her desk each
day; but once there she forgot all else
until her daughters entrance at
o'clock warned her that it was time
to get ready for luncheon.
she was little surprised to note
that although Grace had been intro
duced to so many of the young peo-
PIE she did not become particularly
intimate with any of them.
She seemed to prefer taking a book
out into the grove near the house to
slttlng on the veranda talking the light
nonsense in which most of the girls
lndulged. In the evening she would
watch the dancing through the great
drawingroom windows, but seldom ac
cepted an invitation to dance.

reply 10 some comment on her with
draWal from such things "I came
mere to recuperate and to get strong
enough to go back to work in the
FAN. Moreover, mother, l have no
dancing frocks with me-"
This last fact was true enough.
Myra reflected. She understood per
fectly that among this bevy of over
dressed girls Grace must feel like a
dove among birds of paradise. Had
Myra suspected, she now told herself
that the dressing at this Summer re-
sort would be as elaborate as in the

height of the season in the city she
would have strained a point and
bought some new gowns for Grace, in
spite of the girls expressed request
that she refrain from doing this.
Grace Is Well Liked.
Yet she observed that the young
men who were really worth while
sought Grace out and seemed to en-
joy talking with her. To be sure
there were few men of this type at
The Heights, but Dayton was surely
one of that kind, and 1t was evident
that he liked Grace, even though he
did seem to be paying special atten-
ton to pretty Sylvia Ainslie. Yet,
Myra unused, could her beauty com
pensate to him for her lack OF intel
lect?
For the matron already discover
ed that while sylvia had an appeal
ing manner with men, this and her
undeniable beauty were all that could
attract them. Surely as sensible a
man as Henry Dayton must find Grace
a pleasanter companion than a silly
creature like Sylvia Ainslie, who, ap-
parently, regarded him as her special
property.
Myra suggested this to Grace, but
the girls reply gave no evidence of
her inner sentiments on this sub
iect
Miss Ainslie is so pretty that all
men admire her." she affirmed "And
of course she likes Mr.. Dayton, for
he is a pleasant enough fellow.
The tone was almost too indiffer-
ent to be natural, the mother fancied,
but glance at the girls frank eyes
disabused her mind of the suspicion.
A Jolly Little Girl
You see so much more of them
than l dc that you can judge better
than If he likes her." Myra ventured.
Grace shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh, as for that she remarked,
''she is very jolly. breezy little girl
from the Middle West, and has a way
that takes with the New York society
man, and 1t is but natural that he
should care to take her motoring, etc.
BY the way, he wants you and me to
go for drive with him o-morrow aft
ernoon."
Mrs. Webb went. But to her Cha
grin, Grace insisted on sitting in the
back seat with her. Dayton, finding
her obstinate to this decision, took on
the front seat with him a young fell
low whom he happened to be ac-
quaint. So the young couple had no
chance for the tete-a-tete that Myra
had hoped they would have
She tried to console herself with
the recollection that Grace and
Dayton often played tennis to-

She did not want to be q match-mak-
