insurance of School Children.

Switzerland is the first country TO
inaugurate government insurance OF
school children. In some cantons II
is voluntary and in some compulsory.
The canton Vaud was first to insure
its children. In 1922 the government
of the Canton Basel insured against
sickness and accidents all pupils IN
the public schools, from the kinder
gartens to the higher grades Of the
industrial schools. Other cantons and
municipalities have taken steps in the
same direction. In this, as In the
other forms of government insurance,
the premiums are paid jointly by
the children and the government. II
is reported that a bill for insurance
Of school children against sickness

Ninepins 700 Years Old

According to Doctor Ebstein, Ger

game of ninepins was discovered in
an old chronicle Of Paderbon, Prussia.
Paderbon Is the seat of the Episcopal
church Of Westphalia province, and
here some 100 years ago the eccle-
siastics invented the game, which they
played during Lenten season. They
put up nine wooden pins; at which
they threw balls. These balls they
called "heathen." At first only three
balls were used. but later the num-
Der was increased until. as at present
seventeen balls were used.
