W. C. T. U. Institute at Pleasant Gap.
The Centre county W. C. T. U. held
an inspiring and helpful school of
methods in the M. E. church, of
Pleasant Gap, cn Wednesday, March
30th. The church was tastefully dec-
orated with exhibits on child welfare,
Christian citizenship, peace and arbi-
tration, scientific temperance instrue-
tion, evangelism, J. P. B. and L. T. L.
work.
Mrs. Berthaler Broyles, the capable
county president, presided at all the
sessions. The meetings were replete
with interest from beginning to end.
Mrs. Robert Beach, superintendent of
department of peace and arbitration,
made a strong plea for her department
and gave many helpful suggestions for
carrying on the work in the local
Unions of the county.
Mrs. R. 8S. Brouse took care of the
needs of the literature table, while
Mrs. E. O. Struble served very accept-
ably on the committee on resolutions.
Others in attendance from Bellefonte
were Mrs. John Porter Lyon, Mrs.
Ferguson, Mrs. Elizabeth Beach, Miss
Nora Stauffer. The high light of the
afternoon session was the strong ad-
dress given by the county president.
More than one hundred women from
all parts of the county attended both
sessions of the institute, which proves
that the W. C. T. U. of Centre county
has no intention of giving way to the
onslaughts of the “Wets.” Their
watchword is “Hold Fast and Go For-
ward,” and they mean to do it. They
started out to see that Old Glory
should not be wrapped around a
whiskey barrel or a beer keg again.
They didn’t intend to bring about the
millennium. They knew there wasn’t
any law in the land that wasn’t dis-
obeyed. They didn’t expect everybody
to stop drinking, but they proposed,
as Sam Jones used to say, “to slow
them up mightily.” there are 600,000
women, mothers of men in the United
States, working on the job and the
Centre county W. C. T. U. “belongs.”

| experience and successes of the de-

Diagnosing Diseases at the Centre
County Hospital.
Busily engaged in some mysterious
manipulation of a portentious array
of flasks, test tubes, burettes and bot-
tles of curious colored chemicals, and
surrounded by many laboratory de-
vices, such as, microscope, colorimeter,
incubator, sterilizers, balances, and
other crytic appliances, labored the
little lady who is known in medical
circles as diagnostic technician. This
is a position which was unknown a
comparatively short time ago but is
now generally recognized as an essen-
tial part of the staff of every up-to-
date hospital.
In fact it was just one year ago that
Miss C. C. Kech was discovered by
the medical staff of the Centre County
hospital and was brought to Bellefonte
to develop and operate the bacterio-
logical, serological and clinical path-
ological laboratory in that growing in-
stitution. Miss Kech had spent sev-
en years at her profession at the Al-
toona General hospital after having
finished a very thorough course of in-
struction and laboratory research un-
der the personal supervision of Doctor
John A. Kolmer, the world renowned
bacteriologist and pathologist of the
University of Pennsylvania and the
Philadelphia Polytechnic. i
Previous to the acquisition of Miss |
Kech the individual members of the |
medical staff were compelled to make |
their own pathological tests in a very
poorly equipped and primitive labora-
tory, but to be accurate and sure in
making bacteriological cultures and
blood tests requires the constant
watchful attention of some one who is
especially skilled in that profession.
Hence Miss Kech has apparently be-
come a permanent fixture in the hos-
pital, to the great relief and satisfac-
tion of the physicians who must have
accurate data upon which to base their
decisions as to the nature and progress
of the various diseases they are treat-
ing. Only the physicians who have
the advantage of this scientific assist-
ance in the diagnosis of various dis-
eases can fully appreciate the efficacy
of the information furnished by this
laboratory for the saving of human
lives.
In these days the physician does
not have to wait tor the development
of lesions in the lungs to determine
whether his patient has a case of in-
cipient tuberculosis—the sputum bac-
teriological tests and blood counts tell
the tale and pave the way for timely
sanitorium treatment. Many cases of
tuberculosis have been thus discovered
and arrested before serious or possibly
fatal damage had been wrought.
A case of diphtheria usually shows
a suspicious throat. A culture and a
smear are taken, and presto—anti-
toxin removes all the germs before the
destructive poison has been turned in-
injured the lives of so many children.
A case of suspected appendicitis
must undergo the scientific scrutiny
of the technological laboratory before
an operation will be made by the sur-
geon, thus avoiding an unnecessary
operation involving expense, time and
more or less danger to the patient. !
The normal blood count, or number of
leuccites, or white cells, in the blood
is about 7000. In cases of appendici-
tis this count sometimes mounts as
high as 16000, in which event, if oth-
er marked symptoms are corroborative
an operation is advised to save a life.
A few years ago physicians were
compelled to wait for physical symp-
toms in cases of typhoid fever, some-
times until the disease had almost run
its devastating course before they
were certain of their diagnosis. The
bacteriological culture now tells the
tale early in the game and the physi-
cian is thus forewarned and knows ex-
to the blood stream’ which ‘formerly | ic. id Quaker Meeting house to meet
actly what kind of treatment to ad-'
minister. i
A much more prevalent disease than |
is commonly suspected is that of goi- |
tre, malignant, destructive and seduec-
tive. Frequently there are no well
marked symptoms by means of which
the physicians may know positively
that their patient is suffering from
this disease. The laboratory is now
equipped with the Basilimetabolism
apparatus which is marvelous in its
revelations, enabling them to provide
such treatment as their diagnosis
shows necessary.
There are also many pathological
cases which can be diagnosed by chem-
ical reagents, such as the diseases of
the kidneys—nephritis and diabetis.
The presence of albumen or sugar or
uremic acid is discovered by chemical
analysis, thus guiding the physician
unerringly in his remedies.
Thus are we prepared at the hospit-
al for prompt and effectual treatment
of many diseases which formerly snuf-
fed out many more lives than they do
today under such efficient diagnosis.
The technological laboratory is not yet
as fully equipped as it should be. {
Some of the appliances are out of date |
and should be replaced with the most !
modern apparatus obtainable. The |
it has been in operation fully warrants
the best that can be secured. The |
hope is urgent in the minds of the
board of trustees and the medical
staff that some philanthropic citizen
will endow this unique department to
an extent that it can be made as
thorough as its utility demands. * * *

Headmaster Hughes of the Academy
Being Importuned to Start a Pri-
mary School.
Several parents in Bellefonte, real-
izing the fact that the boys and girls
of to-day must have the most
thorough personal care and attention
possible in the earliest stages of their
preparatory education, in order to be
able to pass the psychological tests
and rigid examinations required for
entrance into our best Colleges and
Universities to-day, have asked Prof.
James R. Hughes to conduct primary
and intermediate departments in con-
nection with the academical work at
the Bellefonte Academy. They re-
member well the thorough preparation
the students of the Academy received
who passed through the primary and
intermediate departments conducted at
the Academy during the administra-
tion of Rev. James P. Hughes, the
father of the present Headmaster.
When these pupils passed out of the
academical department, where the last
four years of college preparation was
obtained, they faced the Yale, Prince-
ton and other standard college ex-
aminations fearlessly and successfully.
Why? Simply because their earlier
foundation in education in the primary
and intermediate departments was
most carefully and thoroughly laid.
The facts are that hundreds of boys
and girls to-day are unable to gain
{ admission into our best colleges, be-
cause they can’t pass the psychological
tests and hundreds of students are un-
able to do the work in college satis-
factorily and pass the first college ex-
aminations. To be able to pass these
psychological tests and’to be able to
pass the college examinations with
credit, a pupil must have had a very
careful and thorough drill in the pre-
paratory studies away back in the pri-
mary and intermediate departments.
College statistics prove that hundreds
of pupils are failing each year in the
first examinations at college and are
required to go back to preparatory
schools for further drilling, just be-
cause of the poor work done in their
earlier years. This is a great humilia-
tion for the pupils and a bitter disap-
pointment to the parents. There is no
real economy in saving expense these
days in the education of children in
their earlier work when their future
happiness and success in college and in
life depend upon most thorough per-
sonal work in the primary and inter-
mediate grades.
Mr. Hughes has been pleased at the
attitude of the parents who have dis-
cussed this matter with him. He
would be glad te assume the responsi-
bility implied even as his successful
father assumed it years ago, for he
feels that he has the time now to
superintend such work. He finds that
two beautiful rooms can be provided in
this great need. : The isolated location
and the playground adjoining make the
Quaker Meeting house an ideal place
for this primary and intermediate
work. Mr. Hughes, will of course, not
undertake this enterprise, due to the
expense involved, unless enough par-
ents in the next two or three months
notify him of their desire and willing-
ness to support it, for it will require
time to fit up the building for the work
and secure two teachers whom he will
consider competent to do this work
satisfactorily.
Parents who are farsighted and sin-
cerely interested in the future welfare
of their children and are financially
able, will give this enterprise serious
consideration. Mr. Hughes has said
that private study halls for girls only
will be provided for those who wish to
continue their education in the Acad-
emy proper. In recent years a few
young ladies have been permitted, by
special request, to attend the classes at
the Academy.
Centre County Loses Out in Big Mili-
tary Reservation.
The bill introduced in the House of
Representatives, at Harrisburg, by
Representative Earley, of Dauphin
county, to create a military commis-
sion for the purpose of purchasing a
new military reservation for National
Guard encampment purposes in Cen-
tre county, was killed in committee,
on Tuesday, when Lebanon county
people appeared in force and protested
against the abandonment of the camp
grounds at Mount Gretna. Adjutant
General Beary and Major General
Price both spoke in support of the
bill which would have carried an ap-
propriation of $200,000 for the pur-
chase of 12000 acres of land in Cen-
tre county. The land in question is
up in the Scotia region and is very
favorably located for a military reser-
vation, as it would be admirably
adapted for artillery and all branches
of the service. Whether any further
attempt will be made to get the bill
out of committee remains to be seen.
