In the Vernacular.

I have lately suffered some of my
own medicine because of my obsti-
nate insistence on the term coryza
(co-ryz-ah). the accent on the eye, in
place Of the popular cold in the
head" 1t seems that everybody knows
Just what cold in the head means.
Just what causes it and everything:
for me to insist that it be called by
any other name is merely to confuse
the laity l plead not guilty. with
determination. My base motive is to
prevent confusion of the laity.
If the term cold" a 8 popularity en-
ployed. referred exclusively to the
disease or ailment which / insist on
calling coryza, it wouldn't be so OBJ
iectionable, though it is certainly
misleading since the disease is an in
fictitious or communicable one and has
no bearing upon exposure to cold. But
unfortunately the term cold in
cludes whole series of diseases, not
alone of the upper part of the breath
ing tract, but some very serious sys-
temic disease as well (such as penu-
menia, measels, inf1uenza); when such
diseases are permitted to masquerade
or to gain headway under the name of
"a cold" IL is high time to discard that
misleading term. in my judgment.
/ have just learned after several
years of utter ignorance, that weak
ankles in the vernacular stands Tor
pronation in the medical. l suppose
this will seem foolish to those who
happen to know. But it Is fact that
I have never until now realized just
what folks meant when they com
plained of weak ankles" although /
have always had working knowl-
edge of pronation. This goes to show
how deep the chasm is between medi-
cal parlance and the vernacular and
how greatly we need In our technical
training a course in vernacular medl-
cine We need 1T in order to under
stand the patients history. We need
II quite as much as the man in the
street needs a little dash Of scientific
information concerning health and
other matters of welfare.
Just what does the layman mean
when he complains that his blood is
impure" or that he wants something
to clear the complexion?" l am not
he means he has some pimples he'd
like to get rid of. Perhaps he doesn't
always mean that; perhaps he some
times means he wants something to
improve a muddy complexion. / hope
to settle this question before 1880. But
I haven't much hope OF learning pre-
cisely what the layman means when
he speaks of "blemishes," though in
some cases, at any rate, he still means
pimples. not warts, scars, ringworms.
moles.- boilcs. whiskers nor tetter, all
of which may seem to be blemishes.
What's Cracked" rib in the ver-
nacular? 1t is fractured or broken
rib. When Is broken or fractured

tors first visit, in the vernacular.
though, in truth the reduction often
takes a week or more. what's

man 1t sounds like general break

means any break or fracture which

Peter Rabbit

Danny Meadow Mouse was right
Peter Rabbit was back the very next
morning. Curiosity brought him
there. He thought that perhaps he
might have better luck. in trying to
find Danny's new home. Danny was
watching for him. He popped out of
one of his private little paths in the
tall grass right in front OF Peter.
Hello. Peter" said he. What have
you come back for?'
Just to be neighborly. Danny" re-
piled Peter. You see, until yesterday
saw nothing of you for so long that
just had to come over here again
this morning. How is Nanny?"
Very well. thank you. Peter. Very
well, indeed" squeaked another voice,
and Nanny Meadow Mouse herself ap-
peared from another private little
mel in the tall grass. 1T is fine to
see an old friend" she added. I'VE
have very few visitors these days"
IF you'll tell me where your home
is I'll be glad to call often" replied
Peter, artfully.
Danny grinned, but he took pains
that Peter shouldn't see that grin.
Follow me, Peter" said he, and. turn
ing. disappeared in the private little
path.
Peter started after him eagerly.
But the same thing happened that
had happened the day before. The
grass was so tall that Peter couldn't
see Danny, and he couldn't follow that
private little path. After two or three
jumps he stopped Where are YOU
Danny" he called
Right over here Peter. cried
Dannys squeaky little voice off at
one side.
Eagerly Peter hurried in that di-
rection. But. as before, he could see
nothing for the tall grass. Il can't
see you, Danny" he cried.
Here l am" squeaked Danny, this
time from another direction.
Again Peter hurried in the direc-
tion of that voice. and again he failed

one happened 10 be issued by the
California Polytechnic School, in San
Luis Obispo. Calf, but this plan of
rating is being used throughout the
country wherever the now vocation
idea is taking root in the educational
world.
The student is rated on both char
acter qualities and subjects. The sub
jects are considered both from the
angle of effort and accomplishment.
This gives the SLOW boy" his chance.
The superficially bright child who can
rattle off his lessons like a parrot
no longer monopolizes all the high
must run parallel with real effort.
Otherwise the student who backs a
modest accomplishment with a maxi
mum degree of effort will outstrip
him.
Also. a display of scholarship is not
enough. 1t is certainly not enough
in the business world. as many a brill
liant graduate has discovered. There
fore, the student must pass in per-
sonal qualities in the school. as he
will in after life.
Here are some of the qualities
rated, with the standard of rating.
The student rs marked for
Success in doing things thoroughly:
Success in doing things within
reasonable length of time;
Success in organizing work and
overcoming difficulties;
Success in social contacts-daily
behavior;
Leadership.
The ratings given are decidedly sat
isfactory, satisfactory, passable un-
satisfactory. decidedly unsatisfactory.
These ratings are given for both ef-
fort and accomplishment. the ratings

ratings on the other in the students

Sundays game between the West
Side and the Belt team resulted in an
easy victory for the former by score
of to 3.
The West Siders played an errorless
game IN which their pitcher was per-
fectly supported.
Morrow was not in form, having a
sore arm, and did not wish to pitch
but the management was afraid that
the rookie on the bench might blow
up and sent in Morrow.
The first two innings the West Side
made four runs and hit for total of
eight bases. In the fourth they ac-
cumulated three more runs as result
of infield errors. Johnson went in to
pitch for Belt in the sixth and had
perfect support. He is a southpaw.
high school boy, and has fine as
sortment of curves with lot of speed.
Rather inclined to be nervous, clever
catcher like thinner ought to hold
him down and he should be valuable
as a change pitcher.
No Belt fan will boast much about
this game because Of the fact that
II was a decidedly off day for the To-
calls and the less said about the game
the better.
The detailed score follows.
