Richmond, Va., March 1, 1909.?The State Department of Health today issued a special number of its Bulletin devoted exclusively to the question of School Hygiene. This Bulletin will be sent to every public school teacher in the state. Some months ago Governor Swanson requested the Department to issue such bulletin on this subject. The I reaucst o ft ho . ? - 0>"w??i was promptly taken up, and the bulletin issued today contains articles on all important aspects of School Hygiene. Mr. j Chas. G. Mapliis, president of the state board of school examiners, wrote upon ; request an article on "Sanitary School Iluildings and Grounds." This article j discusses the question of building, ventl ilating and heating schools, and is illustrated with a number of diagrams i and plans. "The Care of the School Children's ; Eyes" is explained by Prof. W. H. Heck j of the University of Virginia, with concise instructions to the teachers on | the method of preserving the eyesight of the pupils. | Another important article is on "The Relation of the Schools to Communicable Diseases." This is a subject of very great importance, as the spreading of disease through schools is a grave problem in many communities. The Health Department gives directions to the teachers for ihe detection of these diseases, and explains the various measures necessary to prevent their spread. This article is accompanied by a chart, showing the period of illness and the time of recovery for patients suffering from these diseases. Like all other bulletins of the Health Department, this number is sent free of chanrge to all requesting it. The mailing list of the bulletin includes thousands of names, and the Health Department is constantly receiving requests for back numbers. ? Roman Catholicism Capitulating Before Protestantism." By G. V. Fradryssa, Doctor of Philosophy and Theology, Lecturer on Sacred Scriptures, Synodlcal Examiner. Translated from Spanish. 12 mo., pp. xvl, 360. Mobbile, Ala.: Southern Publishing Co., 1908. The author is a Roman Catholic priest and Theologian, well accredited by official papers up to the month of the publication of this book. He is learned and philosophical, as every page of the book shows. His treatise fs of altogether a different order from the usual run of books showing the errors of Rome. Especially is It free from that "spice" which many writers have sought to eive hv lavlrc Iiopo ? *--* __ ? uuiv nu twuimeciea with the Romanist church which appeal to the prurient instinct or taste. It appeals to the cultured, the thoughtful, the earnest seekers after truth. So far as its chief contentions are concerned it is a study of the church of Home rather than of the religion of Rome, especially in respect to what the church has claimed for herself in the monopoly of UTH. April 7, igog. biblical interpretation, in authority, infallibility, temporal power, and like issues. It is philosophical and theological throughout. It shows first the fundamental principles which are admitted by both Protestants and Romanists. It proves that the only means of knowing Christ and his church is through the Word of Christ and shows how the Romanist church is guilty of the vicious circle in reasoning, affirming that it is the only legitimate church because Christ and his Word teach it so, and that Christ and his Word teach it so because the church interprets and proclaims it so. He then studies the testimony of the anostlee no wcii finds the corroboration of the Word as the sole authority and especially brings out the fact that they give no countenance to the idea of papal infallibility. Following there is a careful study of the "notes of the church" as claimed by Romanists, with chapters on celibacy, the sacraments, purgatory and the doctrine of the mass, the inquisition. The last chapter, on the Roman doctrine in its connection with the religious, scientific and social liberty of man, is intensely suggestive, and practical. It shows what Rome is and what havoc it would make, if it could, of all the best mai is in man in liberty of conscience and thought, culture, advancement. The author shows great familiarity with the literature of his subject, though the bulk of his references are to Spanish and French authorities. He has much tq say of Cardinal Gibbons and especially his' book on "The Faith of Our Fathers." In criticising the pope's attack on "modernism," which ' he regards as exhibiting the virus of the Romanist church, he wishes to be understood as endorsing "modernism" only as it expresses the truth of God, the great doctrines nf -? r"?* 1 u?T?.ni.v ui jurist ana Ihe inspiration of the Word, and liberty of conscience and thought.
