THAT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

We note in the papers and by con-
versation that junior high schools
are being established on hill tops and
in the dal4s, to say nothing of the
large cities. We are brought to won
der if many of thise who say they
have junior high school have any
conception Of what junior high
school is, or is it just catering to the
fashion? 1t is thought that the peo-
pie of today are so bad about cater
ling to the fashions as they were in
the days of Saul, the first king Of
Isarel. The Hebrews wanted king
to be in fashion with the nations A.
round them, and it may be that many
of these people who are establishing
Junior high schools are prompted by
the same motive. Before any one
can say that he has a junior high
school, he must know what it is or
is not, and we wonder in some Of
these good people will not go to
good dictionary and tell us what it
says junior high school is?
To help we will quote from the
"New International dictionary" which
is advised by experts, and 10 we read:
"A junior high school is school or
ganization intermediate between the
gramner school and the high school,
formed by union Of the upper
grades Of the grammer school usually
with one, occasionally with two, grad
es of the high school making sep
arate group and aiming to provide
for individual differences among
students and also to facilitate trans
fer from the grammar school to the
high school, especially by allowing
limited amount Of election Of stud
les and by employing departmental
teachers" What do you think OF it !?
A dozen other definitions can be
given just as good and yet we do
not have the right one. Here then
is an opportunity for some of these
junior high school people to make
themselves famous by telling the
world just what junior high school
is.
We presume in nine cases out Of
ten it is the same old coure of study
the same old enemies the same old
ox-cart methods that have driven &C.
percent or hundreds of thousands of
our boys and girls out Of school, and
then we wonder why boys and girls
lose interest in school about the 9th
grade and want to go out. Hence
we are to day 9Th grade nation.
We are still following the old Prus-
sian system Of education--dhe "a
plan, and most of these SO called
junior high schools are no exception.

"BlInd for life" was the answer

Investigation proved that the mother
had gonorrhea. a disease responsible
for cut Of every 10 cases Of blind
babies. This mother had two children
and the second born was bright and
healthy, but the nrst bay had not
received at the time OF her birth, the
treatment which prevents blindness.

t. be the largest single factor in the

ness. This solution Is furnished free
to doctors, midwives and attendants,
by the state department Of health.

which would move the hearts of in
different persons, says DR.. Zieg!er,
w..o adds that all babies sore eyes
should have the immediate attention

AS was recently stated, there are
vast areas in West Virginia wholly
without doctors, and 1t Is not an UNI
usual thing 10 have but one physician

restored to his former place.
Such incidents are common to the
man who travels the duty road of
public service. To be honest and de-
cent with the Government and the
public is a constant warfare. It has
been thanlkless fight, and most men
who undertook it either abandoned the
struggle or were thrust out to make
room for those who would play the
game.
But the light is breaking in. Our
great American community is getting
a clearer understanding of these
things, and our people are beginning
to think over how something better
may be established. Ideal govern
ment is a long way off, no doubt, but
we are near the period when it will
be possible for a man to hold public
Office and be as honest and decent in
the performance of his duties as he
is in his business relations with his
neighbors.

was apparent almost from the first
that few could escape the deadly
fumes that rolled along the tunnels.
Some of the men were killed outright
by the explosion, and tons of debris
separated their bodies from the rescue
workers.
ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE
Fourteen men, all asphyxiated, were
found in a group in a remote part Of
the workings where they apparently
had FASTENED in an effort to escape
the fumes of the after damp.
The escape of a lone Chinese miner
who made his way to the surface was
considered almost miraculous. AS he
ran through the tunnels, he said, he
passed men who had collapsed in
their fight to safety. He paused to
assist them, but was to weak to help
and was forced by the gas fumes to
hurry on.

EUGENE VAN VERT
GETS CLEAN BILL
ON MAJORITY SAY

Eugene Van Vert, chief Of the
Montana prohibition enforcement
force, will be given a clean bill of
health by the special investigating
committee composed of Boorman,
Lobe and Kenyon, members of the
lower body of the legislature, in a
majority report signed by Kenyon
and Boorman. The report viii be
presented to the house Saturday
morning. It is expected that Lobe
will bring in a minority report.
Carl Boorman, chairman of the com
mittee, said in an interview Friday
afternoon, that a majority of the
committee was convinced that Van
Vert was an efficient officer. He said
that the report would state that
former Attorney General Wickersham
had pardoned Van Vert after his
conviction in an Iowa court on charges
of accepting a bride.
Mr.. Boormn said that he did not
believe that ex-convicts such as w. H.
Countryman who was also attacked
Ly Lobe, should be employed as state
prohibition enforcement officers. The
majority report will partially sustain
charges made by Lobe against the
dry squad.

There are 500 inspectors of customs
in the port of New York, and as a
rule, they are a body of exceptionally
clean, honest, and efficient men, but
among them was a group of grafters
who had grown very bold in soliciting
money from the steamer passengers
whose baggage they examined on the

suspicion on the entire force, and the
