hydrophobia and also the officers
killed another dog he had bitten. :
This weeks victims include Fred

were attacked one night this week
Mr.. Bruhn suffered a lacerated hand
but Mr. Currier escaped except fol

Hindrances to Staying in SCHOOL,,
which she enumerated as first, in
difference on part of the parents
who she said often claimed that they
themselves succeeded without ed

necessary. Second, the failure of the
school to interest the child beyond
the lower grades; that having passed
the interesting diversion of the pri-
mary grades, he began to wonder
what was the use of history or geog-
raphy anyway.
AS other hindrances she cited the
desire often in the upper grades to
earn money, saying that on occasions
children should be given an opportu-
nifty at home and after school hours
to earn. money; and lastly, that some
children claimed school interfered
with "good tines. This, she said
was the fault of parents who provi-
ded or allowed no recreation for
their children.
Remedies she suggested were man.
ual arts to interest the children
manual training, domestic science
something that would appeal to q
child's sense of something accom-
ulished; and, the parents solidly be-
