Seventy-five per cent of the cases of iliness in Omaha reported as typhold fever are not that allment at all, but are sim- ply intestinal disorder, accompanied by fever of much less severity, according to Dr. Langfeldt, the eity bacteriologist. Of seventy-five cases of lliness reported @ typho!d fever the physician found only elghteen showing traces of typhotd bactlll. The remaining cases showed fever to ac- company the lliness, but thére was no trace whatever of typhold germs. The report of the city bacterlologist 1s made following actual blood tests of pa- tients supposedly suffering from typhoid fever. . No blame, however, is attached by the health department to physiclans regarding 1eports. In the early stages symptoms are the same and real typhoid cases do not assume a dangerous aspect until the fourth or fifth day. Most of the cases where there is a marked fever are belleved to be a sort of intestinal: grip, not particularly dangerous, but still needing careful attention. Aithough it Is advisable to boll = city drinking water in order to avold Intestinal trouble and possible Infection from typhold germs, expert tests show the water to be improved within the last few days. 1 i A Flerce Attnck of malaria, liver derangement and kidney trouble, Is easily cured by Electric Bitters, the guaranteed remedy.

DUCLAMATION CONTESTS, —— Success of the Plan Insugurated by Yankton College. The regular announcement and Invitation has just been issued to the Bighth Annual State High School Cohtest in Declamation under the auspices of Yankton college, to be held at Yankton, May 13, 1910. This an- nouncement and invitation, as usual, goes to every high school in the state. The state contests in declamation, as originated by the faculty of Yankton col- lege seven years ago, has proved a means of helpful stimulation to this important branch of school work. A 'large number of the best high schools have participated In these contests from year to year; and principals, teachers and all concerned have expressed their approval of them. Last year's meeting was the largest and best ever held In''the history of ‘the contest, twenty-three contestantd cbeing present, and large numbers of visitors, representing high schools in all parts of the state. The usual manner of selecting the rep- resentative of the high school is to hold a local declamation contest. This always proves interesting . and stimulating to townspeople. Last year a new plan was trfed, of hav- ing two different olasses of declamations. One was known as the “general &iass,” In which there was no limitation to subject, and the other was known as the “oratorieal class,” {n Which it was recom- mended that the selectlons be taken from the great masterpleces of oratory. This lstter kind of declamation naturally ap- Deals more to the young men. The new plan gave such good satisfaction last year that it will be permanently continued. Bach of these two classes will be judged separately, and solid gold and sliver med- als wiil be presented to those winning first and second place in each class. Also the high school winning first in “%ach class \will be presented with & handsome state champlonship baa The utmost pains will be taken to secure competent judges, Who will be acceptable to all schools represented. Every effort will be made to make the occason a pleas- ant and profitable ohe for contestants and thelr friends, and all may be as- sured of a hearty welcome. The committee having charge of the contest this year comsists .of Prof. G. H. Durand and Prof. Aliee R. Kingsbury. Prof. Lyon, chalrman of the committee, is the head of the Department of Public Speaking in Yankton college, and his work is already held in very high regard here. Mr. Lyon Is strongly Interested in the state contest, and his connection with it will be & valuable aid'to the work. PAY OF WOMEN TEACHERS. Battle for Equality of Pay and Service in New York City. “Equal pay for equal work” long has been the demand of women teachers in the United Btates, says Grace C. Strachan, president of the Interborough Assoclation of Women School Teachers, New York City, in the Delineator for March. = Year after year, as thelr profession has -been 1¢duced more and more 1o & sclence in the Widespread effort to.lmprove the public schools, the great arniy of devoted women, whose calling means~toré to the future citisenship of thé coutifty ‘than any other of the learned professions, have become restive under the most patent injustiee. Work has been increaséd, but the pay has not been adjusted ®o tHat it could be ac- cepted as Just compensation. There has been always discrimination in favor of the men members of the profession. Talke “another instafice. It 1s a well recognized principle fhat the supervisor skould be pald a higher salary than the person supervised by “him. Yet in New York's remarkable schedule of salaries the maximum salary of dn Assistant to prinol- pal, it a woman, is $1.600, though she supervises male teachers who receive as high as $2,100 and even $2,000. Again, to be principal one must have haa at least ten years of 'experience, must have passed an examination, which records prove to be very difficult, and must have walted often as long as four vears for appointment from an eligible list. Suppos- ing & most unusual case—that & woman becomes a principal in her twelfth vear of service, her salary of $1,750 &s such, s $206 less than that of a. male teacher, also in his twelfth year of service, who may be teaching a “baby clads” and s $660 less than that of a male teacher of & graduat- ing class. Her maximum salary, of $2,50 is only 4100 more than that of a male teacher who may have a small class of girls In the graduating class, while she may have the responsibility of a school of 3,000 pupils and the supervision of Sixty teachers. A male principal of the idehtical school would receive §1,000 a year more than the woman. - UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Results of Physical Examination of Freshmen Class. Dr. George A. May, medical examiner at Waterman gymnasium, recently completed an examination of 836 freshmen who en- | tered the literary and engineering depait- ments of the Unlverelty of Michigan last tall. The average physical standard of the class is considerably above that of other years. Two conspleuous features of the averages are, that over half of the students have defects of the nose; and that only 17 use tobaceo. The averages are given below. Physical deformities are scattered among the 83 men examined as follows: Eyes—using glasses Nose defects .. 51 Heart—irregular Round shoulders Lateral curvatures Among other averages faken were Use tobacco .

Helght—inches Welght—pounds Lung capacity—cuble Inche In comparing the Yale fre those at the University 6f Miehigan it is seen that those at Yale average four months younger, welgh nearly two pounds more and are almost @f inch taller. Their average lung ecapacity Is 258 cubic inches, while Michigan freshmen average but 243.01 cuble inches. The University of Wisconsin shows that freshmen there average more in age, welght and height than Michigan freshmen. They also average three cublc inches more in lung capacity.

BACK TO THE ROD. A Corrective of Evil that in Itwelf Posseses Evil. “It strikes me that It Is better to have a boy whipped than to let hira go straight to the devil” sald United States Commis- sloner of Education Brown, quoted by the Chicago Inter .Ocean, in discussing the question of corporal punishment as a dls- clplinary measure In schools. He added, however, that”the doubt of the accom- plishmient of the desired end in checking a downward caréer by this means in any particular case and the many evils ac- companying this form of punishment seenied to be causing its gradual elimina- tlon. When his attention was called to the fact that the Baltimore schiool authori- ties had under consideration the question of reviving this corrective means in the sohools of that city Mr. Brown expressed the bellet that it is preferable to whip a boy it it will turn his course from evil. Continuing, he said: “There are cases undoubtedly where & loving sort of whipping has shunted a boy loft the downward track, but it is pretty | hard to téll in any given case whether it will have that effect or not, and there are so many evils attending that form of punishment that it seems to be slowly dying out in this country.” The eruelties which accompanied the whipping of children in the schools In the past were disappearing, he sald, and re- sort to.that means of punishment was graduslly being diminished.
