7 Subscription tl.OOptr vtar in advance. C. A.ATEPHENSON, Editor and Pub. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 6, 1907. Petitions signed by a large Dumber of voters have been sent to the state legislature requeuing that honorable body to pass a State Local Option law permitting the electors of any county, city or ward of a city, borough or town ship In this Commonwealth to de termine by an electon the question of the granting of licences for the sale of Intoxicating liquors. A bill has been Introduced In the state legislature fixing the salaries of common school teachers tn districts receiving state appropriation, at not less than fifty dollars per month, in all cases where the teacher holds a pro fessional, permanent, or normal school certificate and has bad two years' ex perience and obtained a certificate of proficiency In practice from the superintendent id charge of said teacher. it has been said that man wasted flowers are strewn over graves, of which one bud, pink with life and hope and fragrant with sympathy, would have eased the pain of some aching heart for even a little while, bad they keen bestowed while the loved one lived. Don't save all your flower's and kind words until after death has removed the loved onej It Is really remarkable how the faithfulness and good works of some people is appreciat ed, after there eyes are closed in death. Dr. Hunter Corbett, a missionary in China over forty years, who has been visiting his kindred in this section for some months, left Wooster, Ohio, Mon day to return to his work in China. He expects to remain In China this time until the Lord calls htm to the heaven ly land. Dr. Corbett lectured in the Reynoldsvllle Presbyterian church i during this visit to th" hums land. He has traveled around the world three times and has crossed the Pacific ocean seven times, his return to China mak : lng the eighth time to cross the ocean. The effect of health upon scholar- ship, upon the mental strength and de velopment of a pupil and, consequently, upon the future ability and Btandlng of the man or woman is, perhaps, too little appreciated by some parents. Through the adenoid growths in the throat a child may become hard of hearing and, 'bus hot understanding all said by the teacher, become backward. A child with eyes uncared for will become subject to headache and ir ritability. Interest will wane and the child become known as a dull pupil. It is claimed that even the kind of break fast or the overloading of the stomach at the noonday meal will unfit the pupil for the day's work. More dull, back ward, unsuccessful pupils are the result of physical causes than mental causes. Some of our oltiaens are under the impression that it will be several years before the state will aid In paving Main street, from Seventh street to borough line, and our contemporary in an article on this subject, stated last week that "it would be one or two years before the state will appropriate any money at all, but as the taxpayers have voted 110,000 to pay for the boroughs share of the pav ing bill we will be In line for the ap propriation when it comes. We have gone up to this time without the pave ment and, surely, we can wait one or years,;' The work has been surveyed by the state engineer, State Highway . Department has ordered the work to be done and the state money Is now avail able, then why should the work be de 'layed a year or two? The Stab ex pects the work will be done this year of Our Lord 1907, and we base our ex pectations on reliable Information. While It may be surprising yet it is a fact that parents of school pupils are wholly unable to protect the health of children. No matter how careful some parent may be, their care goes for naught through the indifference of others. In no instance is the Golden Rule so little observed as in cases when parents will send children to school who have an illness that threatens the welfare of nearly 800 others. The epedemio of whooping cough among the boys and girls of town is the result of the disregard of others' welfare by a -few parents in sending children to school possessed of this oontageous dis ease. The law, we understand, will not force out of school children with such afflictions as whooping cough or itch, but justice and humanity demands that parent take cognizance of others' wel fare and keep such unfortunates at home until well again. A number of children are sent to school who have ' fevers or ohills, ' which forbode any one f several illnesses which are inimical to the health of other pupils oi the achaols. At present there is much agitation in larger schools than ours for health inspection of pupils. Our borough has, perhaps, too meagre school funds for such an outlay, but it is " the important duty of every parent of a school boy or girl to realize the far reaching results of one sick pupil in the chooU. x .
