Where Bites Are Treated
rom the World Outlook.

From the World outlook.
 Africans go to the mission dispensaries to be cured of bites from all kinds of animals, and a large number of them are cured The commonest bites are from shades In Inhambane are IS or 20 vari cites of poisonous snakes. some very deadly, whose bites mean a fight for life. Hyenas kill or carry off hundreds of chill dren each year and most If those who are rescued have terrible scalp wounds, as the hyena carries child by the head. Other biting pests of the re- zion are lions, from whom few escape alive; scorpions, very poisonous and fond of getting into beds; hypo flies large flies that in biting take huge pieces of flesh and cause great swellings; sharks, of which the bay is full.
 But the most common bite and seem ingly the hardest to heal is the human bite. The Africans when they get angry use their teeth to good advantage. There is scarcely a morning that several dc not come to the dispensary One boy had his lower lip bit off and for him a new lip was made.

More Trained Teachers
Is Plea Made By State
School Superintendent

Bismarck, N. D.. Nov. 3.--Teachers'
training school in every county. in
North Dakota was, advocated by State
Superintendent N. c. Macdonald III
the closing session before the North
Dakota Education association. 1.-THE
most important educational problem
in North Dakota today" said Mr.. Mac
donald, lis how to secure and MAIN
tain a more eff1cientS system Of rural
schools. The most important Of the
ten factors involved in this problem
is the. one Of securing better trained
teachers. Until the last few years,
the number Of poorly trained one
room rural school teachers as repre-
sented by q partial high school course
and less was appalling.
District school boards must come
to realize that If they are to have
these well-trained teachers they must
pay the price. Sixty-five or seventy
dollars q month for nine months is a
bare living wage, but $50 a month
for seven months is not a living wage.
for on a IL months basis this would
give the princely salary Of s35 per
month. a smaller sum than the aver
age laborer receives, plus his board
and room"
