THE DEAF ENGINEER.

When a young man, now %, totally
deaf since he was FIVE years old, with no
tutoring or any special help, has gone
gineering school on par with his class
mates who have all faculties unimpaired,
the achievement is worth comment.
But the case is by no means isolated.
The deaf or blind student is now a
familiar enough sight at college to be
taken quite as a matter of course. Dur
ing a discussion of the possible difficult
ties to be encountered by a blind stu
dent at a woman's college recently. one
Of the students remarked that there was
almost always someone there with either
sight or hearing lacking. The deaf ones
got what they could of the lectures
through lip-reading. and had books and
hn notes If other students to fall back
on Tie blind ones were considered
such exceptionally able listeners to lee
lures that the other girls were always
Offering to read aloud to them and help
hem in any way they could. in exchange
FOR the help these students could give by
supplying missing facts from memory.
1t has taken a long time for the world
to learn that the senses are not in them
selves part Of the mind They are
merely channels for the thinker to use in
getting facts or pouring out thoughts.
When one channel is blocked, a good
thinker simply turns attention to deep
ening and widening the others.
The deaf or blind boy or girl should be
given every assistance toward working
out a normal life for himself by means
of the faculties he has. The greatest
mistake that can be made by parents or
community is to let him feel abnormal
and become dependent.

NO INCREASE FOR TEACHERS.
Greenfield School Committee Says Condi.
lions Do Not Warrant 1t.

GREENFIELD, Mass. May 25.-
The teachers in the public schools of
Greenfield have been notified by the
school committee that there will be no
increase in. their salaries this year. In
the letter notifying the teachers of this
action the committee says: AT recent
meeting of the school committee it was
decided that no increase in teachers sal
aries be granted this year. While the
committee fully appreciates the work of
the teachers and would like, under other
conditions than those existing in Green.
field during the past year, it feels that
such increases are not warranted at this
time, either by the amount of the school
appropriation or by the sentiment of the
voters of the town. The committee hopes
that the teachers will understand the
need of economy at this time and will be
gratified to know that there will be no
reductions in salaries. The committee
and the superintendent hope that there
may be few changes in our teaching
force"

THE HORRORS OF
INDIGESTION
Relieved By 'Fruit-a-tiVeS"
The Famous Fruit Medicine

Indigestion, Weak Digestion or
partial digestion of food, is one of
the most serious of present-day
complaints.
Those who suffer with Indigestion,
almost invariably are troubled with
rheumatism, Sleeplessness and ex-
cessive Nervousness.
"Fruit-a-tives" will always relieve
Indigestion because these tablets
strengthen the stomach muscles,
increase the flow of digestive juices
and correct Constipation, which
usually accompanies Indigestion.

THE INTERNATIONAL DANGER.


The thing most to be feared from any
such failure as that of Genoa is the dis
couragement of cooperation. The ma
tons might conceivably give up hope Of
ever being able to act together for their
common good. If they should, it would
be sad day for Europe and for the
world of which Europe is so great a
part.
If cooperative effort ceases, and ma
tions start acting again purely as in
dividuals, there will be, first of all, re
vival of the old, crooked, secret diplo-
matte intrigue. With it viii come re
newed suspicion and hatred between ma
ton and nation. The powers will form
groups, as of old, for offense or defense,
animated by fear of aggression or by
hope of plumber. There will be new
balances of power" as easily unbal-
anced as the old ones were. There will
be a revival of militarism, possibly on
a scale never yet witnessed. And all
this might mean ruin.
Such result is unthinkable, after the
poignant lessons of the last great strug-
gle. The race surely will find way of
working together, because it has to work
together, in this modern world of inter-
woven life, if it is going to keep on at
all.

Yes, as the Burlington News suggests,
the governor smashed the Bates road ma
chine and nobody picked up the pieces,
and what has he got in its stead ?-Rut-
land Herald.
What he got was a compromise with
the Bates outfit and a striking bit of
evidence as to the need of following out
his suggestion that we go where we need
to go and pay what we need to pay for
the best men obtainable. Allowing for all
the good personal qualities that Mr..
Bates may have he failed to measure
up even to the utterly inadequate salary
paid the road commissioner during his
term of office.
