County Organize For
tuberculosis Work

The Freeholders of Bergen county
are so impressed with the mortality
rate from tuberculosis and so anxious
to combat the disease that they have
offered the newly organized county
committee on tuberculosis an office
in the Court House, at Hackensack,
from which the campaign can be di-
rected.
1t was surprise to the Freehold
ers who attended a recent meeting
at Englewood, held for the purpose
of organizing a Bergen County Anti
tuberculosis Committee, to hear that
during the past year 167 deaths had
occurred from this disease in the
county and 230 cases had been re-
ported. They Immediately became in
terested in the problem of arresting
the spread of tuberculosis, and it is
hoped that strong county committee
will be formedand a county hospital
established, providing at least one
bed for each two deaths which have
occrred in the county.
The New Jersey Anti tuberculosis
League is making great progress
with it's work along the line of
county organization, thus narrowing
the responsibility for the election and
prevention of the disease. County
committees already exist in Camden
and Middlessex, and Morris county is
to be organized next fell. The coun-
ty campaign will be carried on in
Bergen by means of social worker
who will locate all cases and try to
have the patients admitted to sana-
toria. At the same time she will con-
duct an educational campaign in the
public schools, and clubs, and will en-
list ministers in the movement to Sc
cure adequate care for every tuber-
cular man, woman and child in the
county. A survey of the county has
already been made by Miss Emily
Halsey Suydam, field secretary, and
her report has aroused the authorities
The League has offered to place a
worker at the disposal of the county
committee until such time as the
committee, through the sale of Red
Cross Seals shall be able to take care
Of its own work.
In view of the Importance of well
organized local cooperation in the
campaign against tuberculosis in the
army which the New Jersey League
is planning to carry on in conjunc,
ton with the National Association
and the Council of National Defense
every effort is being made to enlist
at once as many counties as possible

.Leonia High Teacher
Strangely Charged,
Denies Everything

Prof. Alphonse Brisson, teacher of
English in the Leonia High School,
was suspended by the Leonia Board
of Education on last week Wednesday
evening at an executive session of
that body on charges said to be
vague.
Prof. Brisson, who is of French
descent but American born, has been
located in Leonia about three years
and is we'll thought of in that COM
munity. He was in consultation with
his lawyers, Mccarthy & Eagan, and
it is understood that he will in all
probability appeal his dismissal.
It is said that Mr.. Brisson is
charged with disloyalty in not sign
ing loyalty card at a recent patri-
otto meeting in that place. Accord
ing to our information, the professor
denies this allegation and says that
loyalty card was never presented
to him for his signature.
It is also said that he 'flunked"
some of the children in April who
had indicated their intention to do
their ''bit" on farm, and had dis
ciplined a child of a member of the
Board of Education. All of these
charges the professor is said to deny.
The popularity of Prof. Brissoh is
attested, it is said, by petition for
his reinstatement which was signed
by the principal and teachers Of the
school, including a large number. of
the pupils.
1t is expected that should an appeal
be taken, an interesting story will
develop.
An effort was made to get in COM
munication with w. H. Spear, presi-
dent of the Board of Education, and
Mr.. Stone, member, but in both
cases the gentlemen were not at
: home.-Record.

Observation-Disclosures
"The Satisfied Rejected"

Under the selective draft many will
be called but few will be chosen.
Chosen to serve the country as
soldiers or sailors for war is strenu-
Gus and the country cannot use the
weak in this capacity. The rejected
will be permitted to roam about as
they wish. But to bring this war to
a successful conclusion every man,
woman and child has got to mobolize
themselves to serve in some capacity.
1t is by taking care of the little
thinsg that the great can be accom-
plished. The physically unfit can
certainly not serve the country as
soldiers or sailors, however intelli-
gent they may be. But soldiers alone
will not win this war. If you are re-
jected you can still serve and do
your share. IF YOU ARE WILL
ING. There is no gainsaying that
many who are called will be unwill-
ing to serve, but being called they
must obey and there is no help for
them. But thank goodness these are
in the minority. And there is also
no gainsaying that many who are re-
jected will be happy and contented
But these, too, will be in the minority
The majority of the rejected will be
desirious, even to point of demand
ing that Uncle Sam permit them to
do their share. While the country re-
quires only the physically fit to serve
as soldiers and sailors, it also re-
quires capable men (and women) to
serve in a thousand other capacities
Here is the chance for the rejected

thousand and one things the physi-
cally unfit CAN do, for the govern
ment or for a private concern that
more able bodied man is now doing

quaintence was rejected by the army
and navy physicians as being physi.
cally unfit to serve. Nothing daunteC
this young man found employment
on merchant ship bound for Eng.
land with cargo of food. He in,
sisted on serving and he did. Thus
the rejected by taking the place of I
healthy man for the duration of the
war, will be giving the country {
soldier while the machinery of the
nation continues to run as smoothly
as ever. Simply because you are re
jected as soldier it does not NEAR

He hastily corrected himself and
passed the incident off by relating the
following anecdote:
, while .instructing a class in
grammar the teacher asked if the
sentence, "The horse and the COW is

ology suited the entire class all right
with the exception of one youngster
who found fault.
"Now, children" said the teacher,
