EDUCATION

Education is the knowledge of how
to use the whole tool with many
blades; they know how to open one
and only one; all the rest are buried
in the handle, and they are no better
than they would have been if they had
been made with but one blade. Many
men use but one or two faculties out
of the score with which they are en-
dowed. A man is educated who knows
how to make tool of every faculty.
how to open it, how to keep it sharp,
and how to apply it to all practical
purposes.-Henry Ward Beecher.

FUNERAL SERVICES
HELD MONDAYFOR
FANNIE MATTESON

Funeral services for Miss Fannie
Matteson were held Monday afternoon
at one-thirty o'clock from the Congre-
gational church under the direction of
R. G. Martin with Rev. F. C. Fulford
officiating. The remains were shipped
on the afternoon train to her birth
place at Manchester, Michigan for
burial. The body was accompanied by
the surviving sister, Mary Matteson,
and Miss Charlotte Dilworth. Miss
Matteson passed away peacefully last
Saturday evening about three minutes
of six at local hospital from cancer
and complications of la grippe. She
had been in i'll health for about year
and the last sickness extended over a
period of two weeks.
Miss Matteson spent her childhood
days in Manchester. She attended
high school at Grass Lake, Michigan;
also took active part in the choir work
of the church for number of years,
and she has large number of friends
at that place. Following her gradua-
ton from high school she spent two
years in Hilsdale college. Miss Mat
teson came west in 1892 and first To-
Gated at Bozeman, where she resided
for two years. She came to Red Lodge
in 1894, and with the exception of a
short period of time spent in the east,
she has been a resident of this city
ever since. Shortly after coming to
Red Lodge she united with the Con-
gregational church and has been a
very faithful member.
Miss Matteson has filled some very
important positions, always render
ing very conscientious service and
making many friends. She rendered
very efficient service in the mine office
of the Northwestern Improvement
Company for a period of six years.
Prior to that she spent eight years
in the local postoffice and by her
pleasing manner and courteous treat
ment won a great many friends.
She leaves to mourn her loss, a
brother who resides at the old home
in Manchester, Michigan; sister,
Miss Mary Matteson of this city; one
nephew, Elwyn Mattison and other
distant relatives and friends are
legion.

fearing that we nigh detract rather

HEALTH AND EDUCATION

Creation of a bureau of hygiene in the District health department, to supervlse proper medical inspection of pupils and teachers in the public schools, to look after sanitary conditions in the school buildings, provide for instruction of teachers and scholars in hygiene, and to prevent the spread of disease and carry on general health promotion york; has been proposed in bill introduced in the House by Repre- sentative Begg, of Ohio. In discussing his bill Representative Begg said
 "Today the development is recognized by all educational leaders as one of the pri- mary objects of all education. Cities thru out the country recognize the great import ance of this work, but in this movement the Capital of our nation is far behind The situation calls for serious attention"
 MT. Begg asserted that the slogan which calls for millions of dollars for school buildings but not an additional cent to safe guard the health of children using these buildings is not based upon experience or upon common sense. The Begg bill is the .outgrowth of an investigation by the Mon day Evening club, and it is understood has been indorsed by the District health auth critics, welfare leaders and physicians.
 There has been frequent criticism of the system of medical inspection and of the alleged insanitary conditions of some of the public school buildings turnout the country. Recently it was disclosed by a deputy fire inspector that two of the high school build- ings of Washington, D. c. were not proper ly protected against fire. It has long been said that the pupils are not properly safe guarded in the matter of health. Such sit uation should not be permitted to exist in the National Capital.

HOW TO DEAL WITH TURKEY

Bishop Manning, Senator King, and the others who believe this country should re- fuse to recognize Turkey, should take note of a few facts in the career of the late Os- car Straus. MT. Straus was sent as Minis ter to Turkey in 1887, when Abdul Hamid had closed 60 American schools. In two years the new American Minister had suc- ceeded in reopening these schools; in ob taining charter privileges which led to the founding of scores of other schools; and in persuading the sultan to allow general missionary work Again, in 1897, when the Armenian and Macedonian massacres had shocked the world, President Mckinley ask ed MT. Straus to return to Constantinople. The Minister found that American lives and property had been ruthlessly destroyed. He obtained separations and guarantees and eXerted thereafter firm American pres sure in behalf of humane policies.
