MONTEREY, FRIDAY NOV 5, 1926
Shnnld Easily Become Law

American mothers cannot be die
tated to even by specialists as to how
they shall bring up their children,
but all mothers are anxious to know
how to keep their babies healthy and
happy, and will take advantage Of
every opportunity to learn. This IS
the basis on which the Sheppard
Towncr Maternity Bill, recently re-
ported favorably out of committee,
offers instruction to mothers. 1t as
sumcs that no public provision fer
safeguarding maternity and infancy
can succeed unless it secures the en-
tirely willing and wholehearted CO.
operation of mothers themselves. If
the lives of mothers and babies are to
be saved it is not enough to teach the
best methods of infant and materni-
ty care. The individual mother must
be 50 convinced that these methods
are worth while that she may be de-
pended upon to observe them faith
fully in the daily routine of home
life.
The Sheppard-Towner Bill, there
fore, proposes to teach through the
medium of health centers and visit
ing nurses the hygiene of maternity
and infancy to all mothers, if they
desire to learn. 1t provides for ade-
quate medical and nursing service
fer ell mothers, if they wish to avail
themselves of it. By providing a
service which is free, universal and
dignifed, it offers every indGcement
.torthe mother to make use of its ad-
vantages But it involves no COM
pulsion whatever.
We cannot see why single congress
man would vote against this great
humanitarian measure. ..

Local Boys Stand Well at
University of Virginia

University, Va. November g.
Both as to academic rating and
general interest in college activities,
Highland county stands well in the
personnel of students registered at
the University of Virginia this year.
The county's numerical represent
tation, according to figures just an
nounced by the university Registrar,
is four and includes sons of the cclin-
tvs most representative cities, The
combined state presentation is 953
out of total of 1922 students >esis-
tered for the present session.
The proportion of Virginia men at
the home university is greater than
in any previous year, having increas-
81 moro than 169 per cent since 1905.
.c:::3 reason is not only geographical,
members of the University faculty
say, but is due to the fact that Vir-
ginia students obtain free tuition in
the academic department. Universi-
t. figures also show that the number
CT students from the state public
schools attending the University has
Increased more han SO per cent since
l1910.
The local boys who entered the un-
University in September are witnessing
the first year of co-educational in
structicn at the institution, nineteen
young women having taking advant-
age of the ruling Of the Board OF Viz
litcrs admitting them to the graduate
and professional schools.
Thoughts CT the entire student
Body are turned towards the Centcn-
NAL Celebration next June end to the
Sc, 100000 birthday gift which the
alumni and ether friends CT educa-
tion plan to contribute upon the &C.
casion of the universitys one hun
Idradth anniversary.
A chairman and an executive COM
mittee will soon be named to handle
organization work in this county and
every effort will be made to show
that the community appreciates the
service of the great state university
fathered by Thomas Jefferson one
hundred years ago.
The following students are regis
tered from Highland county: Alfred

They weren't genuine, blown-in-the-

a little shop up an alley where for

fireproofiing material guaranteed to
carry him safely through trial by fire,
