GON V KNTI ON DISCUSSIONS ON MATTERS OF UNIVERSAL
INTEREST NAMES OF THOSE ATTENDING.
One hundred and two school dl-1
rectors of Wayne county registered,
Friday afternoon, when tne opening,
session of the Fifteenm annum uuu
vention was called to order by tne
President, .R M. Stocker, at 1:45
o'clock iu n few well chosen re
marks. The first speaker on the.
program was Dr. I. W. Howerth.
of Chicago University, Chicago, 111.,
who spoke on the problem of "Pub
lic Health." In part he said:
"There are several subjects of
common Interest to us. You are
trying to change your school laws
and modify your system. We are
doing the same thing in Illinois. I
was the secretary of the Education
al Commission in my state, and I
know something of the work and the
difficulty of securing a modification
In the school system.
"One of the greatest movements
In Modern Education is the move
ment in the direction of a more con
scientious and careful attention to
the welfare of school children. In
Massachusetts they have laws pro
viding for medical inspection. In
Verniont they have similar laws. In
twenty states they are trying to se
cure such legislation. There is med
ical inspection in Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Harrlsburg' and Realling."
Dr. Howerth gave a succinct ac
count of the great plagues of his.
tnrv. and of the manner in wtlicn
they were handled or mishandled, -
Coming OOWn to our own uaja, mm ! a
iilspiissinc the maladies that tlesh
is heir to, he said among other
things:
"Our Dear Old Friend, Mr. Fly."
"Wherever there is an epidemic
of typhoid fever there is great ig
norance on the part of the people
or great neglect on the part of the
authorities. Typhoid is not merely
f.niKed bv contaminated water. It
Is transmitted by the house lly. As
a boy I wondered why the lly was
created. I remember reading that
Martin Luther thought all things
were created for some beneficent
purpose. He came to the conclusion
finally, after much thinking, that
files were created by the Devil to
annoy men with bald heads.' One
of the greatest enemies of the fly
has said "swat the fly and swat him
early In the season." A single house
fly will lay 128 eggs, and in a sin
gle season will produce four sextll
lions of descendants.
What To Do With Mr. Fly.
"A little girl saw a fly on her
hand. 'Poor little fly. she said,
poor little fly. Nobody loves you
tut God. I guess you'd better go to
God' and killed the fly.
"Children may Inherit a predis
position to consumption. Tubercul
osis is a germ disease. Every sin
gle germ may be stamped out of
existence by the application of In
telligence. Out of every ten people
who die In the United States, one
dies of consumption. There should
be no spitting In public places. If
a consumptive spits in a public
place he may bo the unconscious
murderer of other people. The dl
Tectors should see to it that every
little school has a 'bubble' fountain.
See to it that the child Is built up to
resist the little germs all about us.
You teachers ought to raise the win
dows every hour and let tho chil
dren roam around tho room.
"There are some dangers
connected with medical Inspection.
Rut the child who comes to school
with adenoid growths Is handicap
ped In his efforts to get an educa
tion. We call him a dull child per.
haps. And yet the teacher that calls
a child a 'blockhead' Is a 'block
head' himself and oughtn't to be al
lowed in tho school room.
"Wo have discovered that disease
is not merely a visitation of the
Deity upon the people for their sins.
Wherever there is a disease, there
is a cause.
"See that the children have pure
water, pure food and fresh air
Traveling through Kansas, I tried
in vain to And the cup to get a
drink. I asked tho porter "What
has become of the cup?" "I had to
put it away,'' ho said, "wo are
traveling through Kansas." You
liavo to have your Individual com
munion cup In Kansas to get a
drink of water.
"Every child Is n public asset. Ho
Is worth so much to society. A
school director is a public sorvant.
The director who pushes tho move
ments looking to tho health of the
child future generations will rise
up and call him blessed. Devoto

steal well-being of the men and
Women as its basis. Its perpetuity
will all depend upon this physical
foundation."
Mr. Stockcr's Address.
R. M. Stocker said in part: "That
an education was more than a com
mercial asset. That an educated
man should have high Ideals. No
man rises above his ideals. An edu
cated man lives more in one day
than an ignorant man lives in a
year. His powers of appreciation
are increased and he can enjoy more
than the man whoso powers are un
developed. Neither do we educate
boys in order that they can get a liv
ing without work, but wo educate
them that they may be more efficient
in their work. One of the institute
workers spoke of four boys "three
of them succeeded, one obtained a
high office, another became worth
$50,000,000, etc. The other, while
working with his hoe, wondered
why he had not done as well." I
thought perhaps the man with the
hoe was the greatest success of eith
er of the four, judged by any right
standard. That man Is the greatest
success who does the most for his
fellowmen. The Great Teacher took
a little cnim ana set mm in me
mij,t nnA k.iIiI hp that would he
greatest of all let him be servant of
History, a row years ngo, was
auch but an account of mon-
.
not mu
archs and great military heroes, but
less and less space is being given to
war and more to the history of the
people every year. We must teach
the rising generation of children to
perform their duty wherever they are
placed. School directors should do
their duty by tho schools under
their care."

sion which has always .prevailed the week

Will you cut out this 'pledge, sign it and pin
it up somewhere in plain view where you
can't help seeing it?
I HEREBY SOLEMNLY PLEDGE MYSELF
That 1 will do MY share to relieve the
terrible crush of Christmas shopping by
making all of my Christmas purchases on
or
-f
before Dec
(Signed)

If you women of Honesdalc do this and live

t I'. Kimnie, Esq., delivered a
strong address in which he made
some startling statements:
General discussion was opened by
the president, and after a free ex
pression of views, the convention ad
journed at noon.
Mr. Kimble's Address,
Directors of Wayne County:
When your chairman asked me, a
few days ago, to speak for a few
minutes to tho directors, I readily
assented; not that I havo any new
theory to offer, but because of my
interest in the good cause of public
education. If we rightly apprcclato
tho enormous consequences that re
sult from combined efforts of those
in charge of the public school sys
tem, even for a single year, none of
us can fall to be Impressed with tho
responsibility of the office of direc
tor. With school property In the
state exceeding tUG.000,000 ln value,
with 34,028 schools to bo supplied
with teachers, and with the annual
payment to these teachers of over
$19, 500, 000, wo can scarcely compre
hend tho great burden resting on
thoso in charge of running the pub
lic educational system of our state.
Having taught ln my early days,
and sluco served as school director
for over fifteen yoars, I havo learned
to appreclato tho services of direc
tors and always gam Inspiration
from UiIb collective body.
No question for solution to-day ls
fraught with greater consequences
than tho question of education of our
futuro citizens. Any discission
among educators, .of ways and means,
and of Intelligent methods for tho
promotion of tho efficiency of tho
educational system, ls worthy of our
earnest consideration.
Chiefly then wo should enquire In
to tho motlvo that actuates us aB di
rectors, Havo wo broad conceptions
of tho responsibility and dignity of
tho office? And aro wo all keoplng
before our vision high Ideals of tho
results to bo attained?
Dr. J. P. Wlckorshnm, lato Super
intendent of Public Instruction iu
Pennsylvania. In tho latter nart of
IiIb career, was elected to the office
of school director, and was wont to
say to his friends, that ho had just
been elected to tho highest offico In
tho gift of his constituents. Tho

sheds of tho Methodist Episcopal
church, discovered that his horse
