A CONDITION THAT NEEDS
ATTENTION
By Prof. John T. Smith

II is reported on the highest au-
thority that when the young men of
the nation reported for physical ex-
animation before the military OIL
GERS over twenty per cent Of them
were infected with venereal disease
II is no time now TO say abusive
things about this. The fact speaks
for itself. There was something
wrong somewhere.
II is the plain duty Of the people
in the communities from which the
young men came 10 clean up the
infected spots in order that other
boys may escape these dreaded dis
eases. and in order that our boys
may not become infected again
when they return home.
Many young men were rejected as
unfit for military service because Of
these diseases. Military needs now
demand physical strength and endu-
rance in all soldiers. But every
body ought TO recognize the fact
that physical health is no more i'm
portant on the battlefield than il is
in the daily life. II strength and
health are required TO kill men. how
much more are these qualities need
ed 10 bcget vigorous children, and
rear a worthy American family?
Whoever contracts one of these dis
eases not only hurts himself but
hurts every child that will ever be
born in his family afterwards. The
diseases may be cured, but the eff
fleets can never be got entirely out
Of the system. Our soldier boys
have been cured as far as possible
but the evil effects must in most
cases remain.
No community should permit any
girl or woman TO remain at its
doors who will entice its young
manhood and thru them blight their
children. Life is too precious to
treat so lightly.
These young men contracted these
terrible diseases somewhere before
they were called into the service.
Other young men who may be
called later will contract them.
When the boys return some Of them
who find the same old temptations
will doubtless contract them again.
Will the people at home clean out
lhesn nesis Of vice. II LheY can find

THE TROPHY TRAIN"
Nv Everett G.. Hubbard

On Tuesday morning at 900 am
we were dismissed from class to &c
to the station to see the Trophy
Train
We went to the station and waited
for twenty-five minutes until the
train came. There were people
from all the surrounding country
to see the relics Of the war, cap
tured by the persistent Americans
from the German trenches.
There was a Boston boy who had
lost an armA fighting for his home,
and Justice; a Pennsylvania boy
who had lost a leg while operating
a machine gun; also French
blue devil" who had the Legion
of Honor"-the highest honor that
can be given to a fighting man. He
was the terror of the Germans
whom he had fought with.
The boys waited until the women
and girls went through the train,
and then we went through. We
saw many things, including howit-
GERS, 10 MN. guns, $50 MN. guns,
torpedoes, shells, mines for destroy
ing ships, trench mortars, machine
guns of all kind, part of an airship,
cartridges for guns, large and small,
and masks used by soldiers when
there is a gas attack.
1t was interesting exhibit and 1T
inspired all the people who were
there, to be more determined to win
the war and crush "Kaiserism" and
Autocracy from the wOrld.-(Writ-

nut shells. peach seeds, plum seeds,
butternut shells, etc, that can be
collected by the people. II wants
these IN order that il may burn
them into charcoal and use that

tralize the poisonous gases that the
Germans use against our soldiers.
These gases are deadly poisonous.
The American soldiers must use a
mask with a special cup attached TO
1t. and in this cup charcoal and GER
tain chemicals are placed. The air
they breathe passes thru these
chemicals and is freed from the
deadly gas thrown over by the Ger
mans. The best kind OF charcoal

SCHOOL GOVERNMENT AND
CITIZENSHIP


The War has changed the world
in a wonderful way. In the words
Of Scripture, AN things are made
new" Every one, from the child
who has TO use only one spoon of
sugar on his breakfast food to the
man who receives an income Of a
million dollars. less 100000 war
tax. feels a restraint placed upon
his personal liberties
Our school work should be fully
sympathetic to this great world
change. Every teacher should be as
fully enlisted i'm the service as the
fighting men on the French front, or
the Red Cross nurse close behind
the battle line. Our teaching, our
community service. and especially
our, school government, should be
filled full of the fine spirit of 10y
atty, service and sacrifice which is
everywhere evident.
| say especially our school gov
eminent because that is one field
wherein we may truly teach by do
ing. Many teachers seem TO think
that a school should be well gov
erned "in order that the teacher
may instruct and pupils study to the
best advantage" | wish to take is
sue with this view of the matter,
and say that the government of
school is one of the most powerful
means of educating. Dewey says,
THE school is not a preparation
for life. it is life" This ought to be
true in all phases Of school activity,
and especially in government.
What should be the underlying
spirit of school government? Evil
IDENTIFY the spirit of that society for
which the school exists. And what
is that underlying spirit in Amer
lea? IL is the spirit of doing ones
own part, enjoying ones own rights,
and making every possible effort to
help the other fellow enjoy his
rights and do his duty. Or we may
say it is the spirit of pulling ones
load with a willing heart, and a
smile of cheer for the fellow who is
pulling by your side.

he was wounded, and then returned
home on furlough. On his way back
to the front he called at the House Of
Commons and asked for Mr.. Edwards.
He refused to shake hands with me-"

NO LOSS IN REVENUE.

The loss of liquor revenue by the en-
lctment Of prohibition law by New
foundland, making illegal the impor-

after December 81, 1916, has not re-
suited in a decrease in the revenues Of
that country. The revenue for the
calendar year 1917, amounting to s4,-
i42,476. was greater by 5,S07 than
hat for 1916, when liquors were still
being imported.
