All but four of our 103 rural teach
ers were present at the institute
Two of these four were unable to be

CD Bone tuberculosis in people,
caused mainly by bovine tubercu-
losis, from infected cows milk, has
dropped 80 percent in the U. S. A.
since 1913. 1t was that year we be-
gan T. B. testing of herds in the
United States. England, on the other
hand, has had no drive on bovine
T. B. and has experienced no reduc-
ton in cases of bone T. B.
(2) The MantouX test for T. B. in
people is absolutely safe and harm
less as far as the T. B. disease itself
is concerned, and is the most accurate
test that we have.
Our teachers were favored with
splendid musical numbers by the

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
(Continued from Page u

CONTINUED from rage ~
city of Viborg (Viipuri. There
seemed to be in Moscow determin-
alton to succeed without regard to
the cost of human lives, and it was
realized that the Russian army would
be able to get reinforcements from
| its almost ineXhaustible manpower
reserve, whereas the Firms were al
most devoid of reserves. It looked
again like most strikingly uneven
fight.
Luck Turns.
But some time last Sunday the
peak of the Russian offensive seemed,
according to Finnish reports, to have
been passed, and the attack weak
ened. At the same time Finnish
army filters made bold and successful
counter attacks, and it was under
stood that they were being supported
by large number of foreign ma
chimes and pilots.
There also were reports to the eff
feet that the Firms once more had
trapped one or two Russian divisions,
but when these lines are being writ
ten, they are not verified.
1t does seem clear, however, that
substantial quantities of guns and
munitions have arrived in Finland
from other countries, but, of course,
it would not be prudent on the part
of the Firms to advertise such fact
in too many details; the enemy might
profit by such information.
No Military Aid.
Requests made by the Firms to
Norway and Sweden for direct and
official military aid have been turned
down. Oslo and Stockholm report
that there is the same willingness
as before to aid the Firms in every
possible way, but that it will not do
to send regular Norwegian and Swed-
iSh troops to Finland; nor are the
two Scandinavian countries willing to
permit British and French soldiers to
go through their territory on their
way to Finland.
Back of this refusal is, judging
from all accounts, the ever-present
fear of what Germany may do, and
it is suspected in many Scandinavian
circles that if Norway and Sweden
too openly help-or permit others to
help the Firms, Germany may con-
slider such action an aggression
against herself, and-act accordingly
Should that happen, the three North
ern countries would be at war with
two great powers-Russia and Ger
many-at the same time, and would
have to fight on two widely separated
fronts.
That New Treaty.
There is as yet no military alli-
ance between Germany and Russia,
but many feel that it is coming
nearer all the time. Only few days
ago new commercial treaty was
signed between these two powers,
providing for plenty of German arms
and munitions for Russia and for
lots of Russian raw materials and
foodstuffs for Germany. A good many
observers are inclined to think that
this agreement may mean the final
step before an actual alliance is en-
tered into.
Western Front.
AS for the land war between Ger
many and Great Britain-France, it
is sufficient to quote the title of Erich
Remarque's famous world-war novel:
"All Quiet on the Western Front"

Examination Dav

Back in the country district
schools of former years, there was
a fateful occasion known as Exam
ination Day" On those occasions it
was customary for the. school com
mittee to visit the schools, and try
to find out something of what the
children did and didn't know
The school pupils dreaded this
occasion for weeks. but the parents
swelled with pride at the sight of
their young prodiges, who spoke
such fine pieces. sung such pretty
songs, and seemed ready for great
success. The ordeal was not usually
as bad as the children expected. The
tempered the wind of ex-
animation to the shorn lamb, as the |
Bible says, and they were merciful |
with their questions.
The committee offered flattering |
'emarks to close this grand Occa-
lion, the upshot of which was that
Ill concerned had done grand work,
md some fine children were going
nut to surprise the world.
