It is cer- tain that co-operation between the two will go far to prevent the spread of many children’s epidemics. No child who shows symptoms of cold, fever or other in- fectious illness should be sent to school. Rest and proper care in the ‘early stages of infection often prevent its serious develop- ment. i o+ The sick child, even at home, should be kept by himself; He will get well faster if he is quiet, and his isolation protects his brothers, sisters and mates. If a child who should have been kept at home does ap- pear in the school room he should be sent home at once. If there is a school doctor or nurse to be consulted before he is ban- ished, he should not-be permitted to mingle with his mates until his case has been investigated properly. o "Phe old idea that the winter epidemics among school chil- dren are a necessary evil is all wrong. If the individual is kept by himself the group need not suffer. . —0 SAVE THE CHRISTMAS TREES Every year sees a tremendous waste in Christmas trees. A nation interested in forestry should not let this'go on. Its pre- vention is not difficult, 1In the first place, no dealer should be patronized who can- not assure his customers that his stock was gathered in accord- ance with the principles of forest conservation. This would soon put the ruthless destroyer of trees out of business. ‘In the second place, if each dealer’s patrons will notify him in advance of their needs, the danger of an over-supply can- be avoided. Where there is an open-air Christmas tree market, as in many communities, there should be a properly accredited public committee to interview the market men, keep track of the sur- plus trees and generally arrange things so that after Christmas there need be no loads of vigorous young evergreens carted away to the public dumps or cut up into firewood. ‘America’s evergreens are going fast, but there will always be plenty of Christmas trees if the public will interest itself to stop the waste. —0 PONZI DIVIDENDS The creditors of Charles Ponzi, the Boston “blu;z sky” |’ promoter, will get a Christmas present. - The trustees of 'his de- funct get-rich-quick scheme announce that they will pay a divi- dend of 10 per cent. Eventually, they say; it may amount to 25 per cent. : So Ponzi, who is now indulging his imperial. dreams in the safe retirement of a prison cell, wasn’t so bad after all, True, there was nothing at all in his scheme, not even a handsomely ornamented prospectus. He merely asked people for money, promising to pay it back with incredible interest, and they gave it to him by millions. But he did give back some of the money to some of his dupes, and now all of them are going to get from 10 to' 25 per cent. In the last couple of years, hundreds of mil- lions have been given te persuasive promoters in other lines, mostly oil and mines, by “easy marks,” who won’t get that much back. 0 . Why not let William Randolph Hearst build all the battle- ships he wants? And pay for them himself. o There is'no mystery about what Japan wants.

The expression, ‘‘hugging the base,” for instance, in baseball par- lance means that a runner is keeping close to a base, fearing a surprise play; it also aptly conveys the idea of a cautious attitude in any one of a number of situations that can easily be imagined. Students of language )vill find the dictionary of baseball incorporated in The New Universities Dictionary of vital interest. HIGH PLACE FOR EX-BOOKKEEPER F. J.
