There were only one or two eye

FOR HEALTH OF CHILDREN
Committee fnffn the Board of Educa
tion Visited the Normal Class at
Meeting Yesterday—Pnesident
w Wood Talked.
A committee from the board of ed
ucation visited the weekly normal
class of the public, schools yesterday
afternoon, proposed an innovation
w hich will be’ of far.reaching influence
n the cause of health, if adopted by I
•be schools. Tlie members ol the com.
in it. tee were Messrs A. V. Wood, J. i\
Lolson and Rev. C. G. Bradley.
Mr. Wo<rd made the suggestion that
a course of lectures should be given
by different physicians to the tcacners.
on the .subject of tuberculosis, the
deadly disease which is increasing to
t;c alarming an extent in this country.
These lectures will aim to snow
l.ow the spr, ad of the disease may no
prevented by liygenic measures, ami
uieso the teachers will in turn, ex
plain to the pupils, endeavoring to be
.-in at tin- fountain head or ail great
i dorms, Ituil is in the public schools
and with the rising generation. The
idea is a good one and It Is a well
Miown fact that this means ot me.,
rating amt disseminating reforms or
all sorts has been found to bo the
surest amt most, practical. Mr. Wood
during his remarks stated that In
Michigan alone is the monatity from
uiherctilosia decreasing and that to a
remarkable degree, and ibis Is at.irin
nuHl principally to the efforts of one
man, a noted specialist who has wag
ui a crusade against Uie 4 i arpns evils
v nidi promote the spreading of the
disease. Among these are the use ol'
tub lie drinking ceps and many other
t radices which tend to disseminate
Urn germs. Mr. Wood’s idea Is to
l ave these hygenic precautions made
known to the teachers who will then
Live informal instruction to the pupils
impressing upon them the power witn
a; the hands ot the people for cxtermi
in.ting or checking the disease. The
question has not been fully decided
upon hut will probably he favorably
decided shortly and Brunswick will
have ihe honor of being a pioneer in
Tiis iieid that of combining with the
u dinary education another or a higher
t nd more important sort; bearing irn
, ortant relations to humanity and the
leUermenL of the world.
Mr. Wood deserves great credit for
his thought a.id efforts along tins
i liiianiurpie line and Ins suggestion
a ill have the ai probation ot all pro
cress;vo people.
B is lieginniim to he generally re
eognized that ati great social reforms
must have their beginning in the
schools, with the young and plastic
minds of children. The leaders in an
great reforms ad on this knowledge
more and more every year and are
content to begin with the children to
(.ring about great results in any lino
if betterment of human conditions,
i liis idea is following out wtiat has
i eon proven by eminent sociologists
amt will do a. great dint of good it
carried out.

Senator Kill redge the only member
of the senate committee who nas

her who has given most, study to the
practical side of the problem of con
stitutiou, came back from Panama as
strongly opposed to the commission
as any of his house associates, indeed
he was the hrst of the part on arriv
al at Washington to express lumseu
strongly on tnat question.
Seeing the opposition thus looming

mission have not been idle. Couiu
Senator Kltiredge have put through
the committer a bill embodying mr,
personal opinions there would have
been no commission left; or at least,
it would have been a commission ot
not more than three men. But for
reasons very well understood, he could
not lia’ e Ids way In this particular.

the commission, is very closely con

Since the beginning of ih session the

At any rate, when Senator Kil.tredge
