Physicians the world over recommend the inside bath, claiming this is of vast ly more importance than outside clean liness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, caus- ing i'll health, while the pores in the ten yards of bowels do.

It should be a home, a center of the best social life. house of refuge. It is at this time that the boy steps into manhood and the girl into womanhood and neither knows the meaning of this new life. This larger development makes it possible for them to head the call of thousand voices that they have never heard before. To many of these voices they answer not knowing whither they are being led.

 Definite written reports to P. M. Munro the county school improvement president, indicate that great good was accom- plshed in all sections of the county In some schools there was a special day of the week during which public exercises were held and patrons gathered. Par ticularly interesting reports have come from Sheffield, Margerum, Barton, Brick, Bethel, South Florence and White Oak. Many schools have signifed their inten- tions of following this special week by the use of one day of each week for speech improvement, so permanent good will be accomplished.

At Grenoble theer is an electri- cal institute and a butter making school. while Toulouse has an electri- cal and chemical institute.

 Tt was in American that old Albion learned to reform it's methods" said M. Houlevigue, professor of the faculty of sciences at Marseilles. "It is to America, also. that we must go for future to be equal to his task"
 M. Houlevigue points to the progress made in. America during the last halt century. before which most of the knowledge of technical science in the country was that gained by men with tools in their hand. That is why America has introduced more of the practical into its technical education than European countries. We must profit from that lesson in France" he adds
 Economical motive power will be ab- solutely required in France after the war, and this. in the opinion of the best authorities. will be found only in the development of Frances water power in. the Alps, the Jura. the Vosges an dthe Pyrenees, and the development Of these resources alone will call for the services of great number of com petent engineers.
 As an object lesson of the necessity of looking more to the practical than to the theoretical. men who are con- sidering this question point to the new under secretary of state for transpor- tation, M C1aveile, who before the war was general manager of the Western State railroad. Claveille never went to technical school. ell learned en- gineering in the hard school of expe- rience and in this great emergency, when France was facing a most se- rious crisis as a result of the conges- tion of her transportation lines. he was the only available man to solve the problem. They point also to the fact that. when 1t became necessary to intensity the production of muni- tions. the government was obliged to resort to the services of college pro- lessor.
