Montana night. The velvet of the

Cool with the dampness of a stream

Home OlUners in the State

GFrom Scranton Republican,
The people of Pennsylvania are
home-builders. The fact is made
evident by a report recently issued
by Banking Commissioner Fisher
which shows that there are 100000
shareh olders in the 2,123 building
and loan associations in the Com
monwealth.
At the close of 1918 these associa-
tions had assets exceeding s353.OO0-
600, and they had been factors In
the requirement of more than 3O,-
900 homes.
Inasmuch as there is every indi-
cation of an early resumption OF
building, owing to the urgent need
of structures of all kinds, the report
for 1919 and for next year is certain
to show gratifying increased in the
number of homes occupied by those
owning them.
Commissioner Fisher is evidently
pleased with the work done by the
building and loan associations but
desires additional legislation which
will bring them more fully under
the control of his department. HI,
purpose seems to be not only to make
the organizations of greater useful.

their own homes, but to throw ad.

The School Problem
[From Pennsylvania Farmer,

From Pennsylvania Farmer.J
1t Is to be regretted that the Leg
islative Committee of the Pennsyl-
vania State Grange felt it its duty
to disa pprove of the centralized
school idea For a generation there
has been increasing complaint that
the rural schools were not meeting
the needs of the rural children, and
this complaint is we'll founded.
When the cause of their deficiency
Is sifted down it is found to be
largely because of: 1.-Insufficient
equipment; 2.-Unprepared and in
experienced teachers; 3.-Too many
grades for l teacher; 4.--Text books
and curriculum not adapted to the
environment and needs of the child;
5.-Either over-crowded conditions
or too few pupils to incite healthy
rivalry and interest.
Where consolidation of schools
has been Intelligently carried out the
public opinion Is almost undivided
In its favor. The opposition which
existed at first has almost invariably
died out because the results have
justified the move. The fundamen-
tai principle of cooperation which
the grange has preached for years
applies in the matter of conducting
educational work. In spite of the
prejudice which some farmers still
have against education, time empha-
sizes more and more the necessity
of proper intellectual training il the
young men and women are to be
able to meet the competition OF the
! twentieth century. The average
rural school of to-day furnishes lit
| tie beyond q meaningless eighth
grade, hence the country boy and
| girl is unable to enter any higher
| institution of learning without first
spending three to four years at pre-
paratory school. With proper grad
. ing of school in the home districts
all this could be changed, besides
making it possible to have such a
school as would provide more OF
! less finished education within the
shadow of home
To have such schools 1t is neces-
sary to have something along the
line of the centralized plan. Per
| fection may not yet be reached in
their development. but the leaders
| of agricultural matters have not dis.
charged their duty when they have
simply made a protest against a

DIR. CARREL, AMERICAN SURGEON
IN PEACE AND WAR

bile, clean-shaven face is accentu-
ated by the badness of his head.
Thin, firm lips. tightly shut, would
be almost stern were ii not for an
ever-lurking smile that illumincs
his countenance even in serious con-
Versation. Behind the eyeglasses,
there gleam two remarkable eyes,
one u violet blue in color, the other
of softest dark brown. The thin
straight nose shows the keenness of
the scientist.
Reviewing Dr. Carrel's career,
and also that of Madame Carrel, the
writer proceeds:
DIR. Carrel is still young and looks
younger. He was born at Sainte
Foy-les Lyon on the 2Sth of June.
1873, and obtained his first degree
from the University of Lyons in
1891. From 1895 to 1900, he was
inferno at the Hospital of Lyons
and. from 1900 to 1902, a professor
of the faculty of medicine of the
University of Lyons. Fortunately
for the United States and for the
world, DR.. Carrel came to New York
in 1905 and soon became identified
with the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research. With the re-
sources and freedom obtained in the
| Institute, he has been able to ac-
complish those wonders which secur-
ed for him, among other honcrs, the
Nobel prize in 1912 for his work in
suturing blood-vessels and trans
planting of organs.
Madame Carrel is herself trained
! investigator and surgeon of no
mean ability. AS Anne de la Motto
she was a laboratory student of the
distinguished French surgeon Tuf-
| fer, when she married the Marquis
! de In Marie. Soon after she was
widowed she resumed her labora
tory work in n Paris hospital. There
she met DIR. Carrel and became his
| laboratory assistant at his hospital
at Lyons. They were married In
1913. Madame Carrel accompanied
| DR.. Carrel to France in 1914, and
| the outbreak of the war found them
! there. He at once entered the
French Army Medical Service as q
major and soon established the
! Compiegne Hospital. Madame Car
rel continuing to assist him.

TT was the often-exaggerated re-
ports of his research and expert
mental work in surgery that ap-
peared in the newspapers that made
DIR. Alexis Carrel's name familiar
to the average reader in this coun-
try. But if he was thought of, some
what vaguely, as a theorist, or q doc
tor who did some remarkable sur
gical stunts in the way of trans
ferring parts of one anatomy to an
other, it is now known that his work
in France in applying the results of
his laboratory work at the Rookie
feller Institute for Medical Research,
has saved the lives and alleviated
the sufferings of thousands of wound
ed soldiers. A writer in La France
tells us that
His laboratory hospital was To-
Gated at Compiegne. Driven out of
that town by the German advance
early in 1918, DIR. Carrel transferr-
ed his operations elsewhere and was
again actively at work when the
armistice came.
Nobody knows how many thous-
ands of hours of suffering were
saved by the Carrel-Dakin method
of cleaning and draining wounds
There will always be more or less
discussion of everything of this kind
in the medical profession, but the
wounded man and the layman who
saw anything of war-hospitals in
France cannot be made to believe
that the Carrel-Dakin method is not
huge success. What DR.. Carrel ac.
complished in fighting wound-in.
, fection, which was almost universal
in the early days of the war, is al
achievement no doubt shared by
others. but probably no one did
more than Dr. Carrel to reduce
wound-sepsis to q minimum.

In distant fields they lie,
Young lads whom you and I
Have teased and played with sunny
afternoons,
Have kissed or flouted under gentle
moons
In distant fields they lie,
Beneath the blood-bought soil of
Picardy,
Their names forever set
Among the great whom Time may
not forget
In distant fields they lie
So clothed upon with majesty,
So far-so far
We can but view their shining as a
star
That thrones it's deathless fire
Above the puny reach of our de-

Or love-or grief.
It seems beyond belief
That we have ever known
These lads to hero-stature grown;
That these have ever been to us the

This is precisely the situation
rhich was contemplated in the

Paris Needs Traffic Rules

boyd Cable in the London OBJ
1t is bad enough to be held up
when you're trying to hurry in a
taxi in London and a brewers dray
checks a long line of motors and
forces them all to drop to a two
mile-an-hour crawl. But it is not
nearly so unpleasant as to go in
mortal terror of your life as you do
in Paris every time you make a
street crossing, to have to stand for
minutes with a crowd of foot pas
sengers whenever you want to cross
any main and most side streets, wait
ing until a moments break comes in
the whirling stream of motors.
II you're off the main traffic
streams and want to cross an appar-
emily quiet road, you must look care
fully up and down, draw a deep
breath. and make a leap for it; and
then you're lucky if Just when you
reach the middle a furious taxi driy-
ing Jehu doesn't swirl around the
corner, raise your hair with n saw
age yelp on his horn, and Just miss
running over your toes.
Every kind of vehicle appears to
try to outvie the next in the loud
ness and unpleasantness of the noise
II can make. The motor cars have
hooters that wouldn't shame a full
sized factory, sirens that wall like a
lost soul in torment, horns that
scream, groan or hoot in every tone
and key and note of savagery. The
street cars have bells with a head
piercing clang and clamor; even the
pushbikes carry some sort of how
ling motor horn.
Everything moves at a most dis
concerting rate of speed, and why
there are not umpteen accidents a
minute at every busy corner | don't

like to learn the average of street
casualties~in Paris.
