Bridgeport school boys under the direction of trained gardeners will de- vote a part of their time to work on a school plot until the garden season is over.
 This is part of Supt. s. J. Slawsons school garden plan. At a meeting of the principals, Supt. Slawson explain ed the food situation that exists today and the fact that boys in the schools can aid greatly in minimizing the danger of shortage. He laid his plan before the principals in a concrete way and steps have already been taken to put the plan into effect.
 He presented to them the scheme of mobilizing the boys in the grammar schools, who were over 12 years of age, in such way that the office would have at hand at all times, a
 definite card record of the age and ability of the boy, as well as the statement from himself and his pa
 rents, if he is willing to volunteer for
 one of several kinds of work. These occupation cards are unique in their arrangement, and show very careful
 thought on the part of MT. Slawson.
 The work provides for volunteers un-
 der four heads.
 flTSI, dll DOyS WIIOr are puySlcdlly strong and who are willing, will be enlisted for farm work. They must be over 12 years of age. Each boy
 has the opportunity to make his own contract with any farmer, but this contract receives the approval of the educational department. One of the troubles of the city boy on the farm
 is homesickness. and to guard against
 this, the boys are to volunteer in pairs.
 Supt. Slawson asked his principals
 to stress the fact that agriculture is the basal industry of the country, and l that while these boys would receive l their board and something ill the line of monthly salary, that one of the l largest benefits that would be pro- ! cured would be to the boy himself, in 1 the practical knowledge that it would l give him of agricultural work. oBys were asked to specify what locality l they preferred. This must be outside l the city limits, nor may it be a part
 of truck farming. Any boy who vol l unteers for farm work, the board of education, will release at once from l the grammar schools, and will permit l such release to be in effect until Nov. 1, or after all crops are harvested They further agree that the boy who 1 fills his part of the contract of actual work on the farm until crops are har- vested may return to school with nc 1 loss fin grade or promotion.
 | Second, industrial work. In this l work, none but boys over IA may en- I list, and only those are urged or ad- vised to enlist who expect to make

Gen. Bells Gallantry
 Won Swift Promotion

There is no- soldier in the United States of higher professional attain ments or larger experience than Ma jor-Gen. J. Franklin Bell, who is to have command of the Department of the East, with headquarters at New York. If that is to be the most inn portant of the military departments of the United States in the anticipa- ted "state of war;" the President has made a wise selection of it's command ing officer.
 Gen. Bell has recently been station ed at San Francisco, and immediately before that he served as commanding general in the Philippines. He was chief of staff of the United States army from 1906 to 1910, or before Gen. Wood was permitted to hold that high and responsible office
 In the five years prior to serving as chief of staff, Gen. Bell performed excellent work in re-establishing and developing the officers training schools at Fort Leavenworth. In 1901 he had been made a brisadier-gener- al of the regular army, and in bring ing that about Secretary of War Elihu Root Jumped him over 5S4 captains, PIT majors, 98 lieutenant-coIonels and TT colone1s
 The reason for Gen. Bells rapid promotion was his distinguished ser vice in the war for the subjugation of the Philippine Islands. A regular ar mya captain when the Spanish war came in 1898, Bell went to the Philip pines as the colonel of a volunteer regiment. In the military operations in the Island of Luzon he quickly came into prominence as a vigorous and able officer, and he won not only

-brigadier-generalship, but a con gressiona1 medal of, honor for per sona1 gallantry in a charge upon the enemy's Qualifications. Before the Spanish war, Gen. Bell had an excep- tional experience as young officer in Indian warfare on the Western plains. He had graduated from West Point with the class of 187S.-Spring- field Republican.

ems the shock of disease ELIMINATES
the darkness of mental and physical
distress, and from the debris of mis-
fortune, vice and heredity, creates a.
new the image Of divine perfection.
1t must be admitted that the medl-
cal art has been too often discredited
by professional incompetence. This
however, has been stimulus to the
requirements of the present day.
The pressure which the medical stu
dent is now brought to bear comes
from two permanent sources-inter-
nal and external, or bOtanically, if
you please, indigenous and exage-
nous. When he matriculates in a
medical school he is met with such
rigid requirements as will force him
to a certain high standard of schol-
arshiD, or he must leave school brand
ed as subject far unfit to he birthed
into the medical science. If he
graduates he must make good as
practitioner, or he is a sad failure
and a disgrace to the profession. BY
these conditions the student Of medi-
cine is brought to a ready realization
of the fact that he must master
the details of the remedial
art; become practically conversant
with physiological conditions, and
the manifold phenomena of morbid
familiarize himself with
the varying indications of disease
and with physiological idiosyncra-
cies, that his diagnosis and treat
ment in the presence of whateve,
malady may command respect not
only from the laity, but what is of
lar more consequence to him, from
he medical profession.
I'VE have said, ere this, that the
history of medicine has been a CON
.inuous development rather than All
intermittent one; it is therefore
lutte inappropriate to suppose that
n the evolution of so momentous a
scheme as the formulation Of a rene
lial system SO applicable to the ex-
ensive catalogue of human ailments, |
here should not have occurred from
ime to time spasmodic and ill-ad-
listed theories, crytalizing in their
mechanism, substances
which are in reality contrary to !
