confined about three weeks ago. Since
that time she has been unable to

taken with what was diagnosed as
bronchitis, which eventually devel-

She is unable to keep much that she

only cursory examination OF her
chest, owing to the fact that the place
was cold as a barn, and there being
no facilities for heating the room.
I was able to determine that the left
lung is totally involved with a large
cavity in the apex. The right lung
shows foci of infection here and
there.
Upstairs, I found q boy 1s years
old, coughing and expectorating. with
q temperature of 102. Examination
of his lungs shows that both are In

ratio changes very slowly and the

Realizing the vital importance to
the state Of the influence of trained
elementary teachers. it Is indeed en-
couraging to see what splendid serv-
ice has already been rendered in the
rapid development and substantial
progress of this new institution for
training teachers. With strict adher-
ence to the Ideals already established,
Of scholarship, character and public
service. with reasonable and adequate
financial support, with proper en-
couragement In the laws licensing

appreciation. the new institution
promises to be one of the greatest in
