Small pox, that fearful winter
scourge, and diphtheria, the dread
of every mother, are prevalent in
nearby sections. People should
exercise the utmost enre, not only
in the houso'jold but In every way,
to prevent any contagious or In
feotious disease from gaining a foot
hold here. An ounce of prevention
is worth any number of pounds of
cure.
"Elijah" Dowie whose Zion City
was in the bands of a receiver a few
days ago has sucseeded in rescuing
it and himself from the financial
diffculty. Religion Is a good busi-
ndjunct, but the professions of
Dowie nor those of any man will
supply the plaoa of good business
principles iu carrying on the affairs
of enterprises which must come in
competition with well managed
business oonoerns. When) Elijah
III attempted to inject bis socalled
religious tenets into his enterprises
as capital stock be failed.
The school directors association
held here this week will ro doubt
have beneficial results. Thedireotors
mingling together and discussing
school matters receive new l'eas
and tbo progressive ones, thoso who
are really fitted for the position, will
no doubt be profited by the mooting
Citizens in the several townships do
themselves Injury, and inflict
their children perhaps an enduring
injustice, by electing nion who are
unfit for the position of school
director. The oiTlce is without
emoluments, is oftentimes a thank
loss one and imposes labor on the
occupant, but the good citizen who
' earnestly desires the advancement
of the best interests of his township
and her progress in education should
sacrifice his leisure and give hi
best efforts to the Improvement of
the schools in his community. The
time for electing directors is ap
proaching and this matter deserves
the earnest thought of every right
minded voter.

Feed pale girls on Scott's
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why Scott's
Emulsion restores the trength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
Scott's Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at
fullest in strength
it3 best,
least in
taste.
Young women in their
" teens " are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease of tlie
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weakness and nervous
ness, by regular treatment
with Scott's Emulsion.
It is a true blood food and
is naturally adapted to the cure
of the blood sickness' from
which so many young women
suffer.
We will bt i4 to tend
sample to suy tutrtrtr.

'THE DIIIECTOIIS ASSN
(Contlntunl from First Pfip)
and not by conquest, tlie vast realm
over which our fli? now floats.
Prof. Dolph is strongly of the opin
ion that in every instanoo Uncle
S'ltn has been n shrewd investor
and the farms he has added to his
domain have been in every instance
profitable investments. California,
for which we paid fifteen million
dollars, bad in thirty-five years after
cession produced over one billion
dollars in gold and is now producing
it nt thrt rate of twenty millions a
year. Since the conquest of the
Philippines a large trade lias grown
up with the islands, one of the ex
ports being Manila, from which
ropes are made, which are supplant
ing all other materials for the trans
mission of power. One rope having
recently made over 2,500 feot long
without a splice.
At tlie Tuesday morning session
Superintendent Westbrook took up
tlie subject of a uniform course of
study for ungradod sohools. He
said changes in teachers necessitate
grading or classifying the school
and as the new teacher has no record
of previous studies or the grade of
the pupil to guide iu so doing the
work, is ofteu poorly done and the
pupil is put in the wrong classes
Directors should adopt a u: ifurm
graded course of study for use in
the county aud a record should be
kept of classes and pupils so that
t he succeed nut teacher would be
able to begin the work intelligently
and properly classify the scholars
With a graded course there would
be an object for pupils to strive for
somethine to stimulate them to
complete the course.
Prof. D. L. Hoiver of Wayne
county said examinations Bhould be
the lost of promotion and that the
questions should be prepared by the
oountv BUDeriutendent. A record of
these examinations should be kept
so that succeeding teachers would
be Informed of the progress of tbo
pupils. Children using first and
second readers should be able to
read in them just us well as the
teacher. The reading part of 1
oh'.ld'seducation should be thorough
On motion of 8. D. Wells of Sho
holtt, seconded by W. T. Struble oi
Milford the matter of grading the
schools was referred to the commit
tee on resolutions.
Compulsory atteuduuoe nud how
it may be enforced was the topic of
an excellent address by George R
Bull. Esa. rhis law has been in
force in some of the European oouu
tries for many years, and thirty
states in this oountry now have it
ou their statute books. Massaohu
setts, 50 years ago, was the first
state and Pennsylvania the last, in
1895, to adopt it. Irregular at
tendance of scholars destroys the
efficiency of the school, causes dis
tnrbance iu the classes and imposes
extra labor on the teacher. Mr
Bull want into the details of the
law and explained its operations and
the mode of proceedure to enforce
it. The better way to enforce the
law is by making the sohools at
traotive so that children will wish to
attend and in this the teacher Is the
most important faotor.
The law should be enforoed with
judgment and care should be exer
oised not to impose its penalties on
some family where it is almost
imperative that the child assist th
parents.
A disousssion of law followed
participated in by G. A. Swepeniser
who spoke of the law regarding the
assessment of children of school
age and that the work which oost
tha county from t-50 to 1300 a yea
should be carefully done
A. K. Kellatn of Palmyra spok
ou oalm ios of toaohois, and though
that the t'.i" dollar minimum salary
would be burdensome iu sparsely
sot tied distriots. He thought direo
tors should have a discretion in
amount of wuges paid teachers es
peciiilly whare schools were smll.
The salary should bo graded accord
ing to the ability aud experience of
the teacher. Centralis ition was
not feasible in all districts and some
would be compelled to keep the
usual number of schools open and
of Oourse pay the increased a'tlaries. i
His paper evoked some discussion !
which was participated in by Prof. ,
Uower who thought that centralize- j
tion was tlie one way out and that j
in his comity where it had been I
dopti-d iu several districts it had I
proven greatly bt-neueiul. j

To the Offloers and Members of

County of Pike :
Gentlemen! We, the undersign
ed committee appointed to draft
resolutions, respectfully submit the
following :
Itrmlred, That we, the directors of
he sohools of Piko county, Fa., now
in session, approve and recommend
toonr county superintendent, Lucian
Westbrook, a graded study course
for our county, and ask that he put
into operation such a study course,
and furthor ask him to prepare 11
uniform plan of examination ques
tions, these to be used twice a year
in examinations throughout the
oounty. We recommend to every
school distriot of tha county and all
school directors that they make an
appropriation of twenty-five cents a
year from the school funds to
defray the expense of printing and
mailing the examination questions
to every teacher in the county
teaching school. This we believe
will be a proper step in advancing
our school system.
llinnhvl, That thanks be extended
to the county 8 apt r. nfendent, Lucian
Westbrook, for efforts In arrnng
ing for this, the first" meeting of
school directors in Pike county, aud
congratulate him on its bucccss.
Aim, That thanks be extended to
the program committee for the
excellent program prepared by them.
Aim, That thanks be extended to
the able instructors present and
excellent advice and instructions
given by them.
Ano, that thanks be extended to
the county commissioners for the
use of the court room, and to the
people of Milford for the courtesy
extended to us.
Wo recommend that these resolu
tions be published in the Milford
