You should not delay under
any circumstances in cases of
Ki j ney and bladder trou ble. You
should take something promptly
that you know is reliable, some
thing like DeWitt's Kidney and
Bladder Pills. They are unequal
ed for weak back, backache, in
flammation of the bladder, rheu
matic pains, etc. When you ask
for DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills, be sure you get them. They
are antiseptic. Accept no sub
stitutes; insist upon getting the
right kind. Sold by Trout's drug
store.
Complete figures covering the
transatlantic passenger trade tor
show that the Dumber of
passengers going to America in
that year was G.'"j,000, which was
1,04M,000 less than in the preced
ing twelve months. The number
leaving America was KVJ.OOO, or
8'J.OOO more than in 1J07. The
loss of the companies in gross
revenue amounted to $31,000,000
This compilation, just published
at London, agree perfectly with
our statistics of immigration and
emigration, and the decline in
receipts resulting from the prac
tical stoppage of ttn stream of
emigration to America largely ex
plains the terrible slump in the

"The enforcement of the com
pulsory vaccination law is put in
to the hands of the medical inspec
tors, and not into those of the
teachers. An examination ol vac
cination marks on a child's arm
is provided where there is no sat
isfactory certificate of vaccina
tion. "The medical inspector may
permit children physically untit
to be vaccinated to attend school
until they are able to bo vaccinat
ed. lie is required to vaccinate,
free of charge, unvaccinated chil
dren, with the consent of their
parents, and after two unsuccess
ful attemptsat vaccination he may
grant a certificate of "immunity"
for the remainder of the school
year. If parents will not permit
their children to be vaccinated,
the medical inspector will exclude
them from the school, and they
cannot return without certificates
of vaccination or "immunity."
"No teachers, pupils, or jani
tors having tuberculosis of the
lungs are permitted to be in the
public schools.
'The school code provides that
schools must be closed on Satur
days, Sundays, the Fourth of
July and Christmas, but that all
other holidays shall be at the dis
cretion of the board of school di
rectors of the district.
"Teachers who do not attend
the county institutes, unless ex
cused by the superintendent, for
feit 2 per day for each day's ab
sence. Careful provision is made
for the auditing of all institute ac
counts. Teachers must flulfill
their contracts to teach uuless
released by their school boards,
or prevented by sickness, and
failure to do so will prevent them
from teaching in any publicschod
of the State for the remainder of
the year.
"No teachers' certificate can e
granted without a physician's
health certificate and no teach r
less than 18 years of age can
taach in the public school of the
Commonwealth. All present cer
tilicates iu force in the State con
tinue to be valid.
"Hereafter no teacher may teach
for more than five years on the
lowest grade of certificate. A
teacher by adding two additional
branches to this cei tificate and
by a careful reading of two books
on education, may secure a pro
fessional certificate, the next
higher grade of certificate. This
is g"wd for two years, and may
be validated in other districts by
the indorsement of their superin
tendents without examination.
Such professional certificates can
be renewed upon their expiration
twice by passing examinations
upon two additional branches
and the readiog of two additional
books on education euch time.
Permanent'State certificates will
be granted by committees ap
pointed by the Superintendent of
Public Instruction for each coun
ty or city, upon examination in
all of the common branches and a
number of the higher ones.
"Compulsory school attendance
is required of all children b -tween
the ages of eight and 10,
except that children between 14
and 10 who can read and write
the English language intelligent
ly, and who have regulir employ
ment, may be excused from
school.
"The distribution of the State
appropriation to public schools
now depends jointly upon the
number of children of school age,
the number of teachers employed
aid the number ot resideut tax
ables in the district. The last
factor has always been a trou
blesome one to determine, and
the distribution is simplified by
making it depend solely upon the
number of children and the num-
'ber of teachers. While this makes
no great change in the distribu
tion of this fund, it helps to some
extent the poorer country dis
tricts which needit most."
