only by the strictest adherence to quarantine regulations can dangerous communicable diseases be kept at a minimum. Those abusing the com- mon welfare are public nuisances and Shgy‘ld be prosecuted as such. The vast majority of people are willing and anxious to assist the Health Department in observing quar- antine laws, but there seem to be a few persons scattered throughout every district who have no health con- scienceâ€"that is, they do not seem to realize the importance of any pre- ventive or quarantine measures to pre- vent or curtail the spread of communâ€" icable disease. Just recently I met a peculiar, but alas, all too common type of individual whose daughter had contracted scarlet fever. He was not at all willing to keep her isolated after the actual fever had passed away, his reason be» ing that she had got the disease from somebody else and somebody else again could get it from her. A mest despic- able attitude, you will say and yet knowing that such people are about. can you wonder at the unsatisfactory results obtained sometimes even when the health authorities do their best to First Sunday School Founded by a Woman. Sunday School Day, which has just been observed by more than 30,000,000 scholars and teachers in England, is a celebration that contrasts with the humble beginnings of the movement. Sunday schools were formally found- ed by Robert Raikes, 3. Gloucester printer and publisher, who, in 1780, noâ€" ticing some urchins playing in the street on a Sunday morning, collected 8. number of them and formed them. into a. class for private religious in- struction. His account of the innovation, pub- -â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"§â€"â€"~ lished in the Gloucester Journal, was Uncertain- copied by the London press. and in Teacher in the geogr; this way the great Sunday 8011001 SYS- “Johnny, how is the eart tem was launched.

L __..._ A few days ago in a Michigan town two cases of scarlet fever were reâ€" ported by a citizen. When the state medical inspector arrived on the scene he actually found six cases. This state of affairs showed a gross laxity on the part of somebody. and as a result an epidemic of scarlet fever is now threatening that district. The despatch states that the blame for the situation in this Michigan town can be traced to abject carelessness on the part of the local health officer. But for the efforts of a .former health officer, the schools would probably have to close their doors. Quarantine has been very poorly observed in the municipality, and on one of the persons disregard- ing it, a fine of fifteen dollars has alâ€" ready been imposed. It seems incon- ceivable that such vital things as health regulations should be disreâ€" garded in this day and age. If ignor- ance is bliss, then bliss is short-lived if the ignorance concerns itself with health matters. being the sole originator of the idea. The honor rightly belongs to Hannah Ball. of High Wycombe, who opened a Sunday class in 1769. in Great Britain and Ireland there are approximately 51,000. Sunday schools, 690,000 ofllcers and teachers, and 6,670,000 scholarsâ€"in all, 7,360,000 persons. From these figures it would appear that one in every six or seven of the entire population of Great Bri- tain and Ireland .attends Sunday school.

The only visit that Robert Louis Stevenson paid to the bookshop of Mr. Walter T. Spencer, in Loud-on, made a. lasting impression on the owner. In Forty Years in My Bookshop Mr. Spencer thus describes it: Always I remember the night when Robert Louis Stevenson came into my shop. It was in the year 1885 that he made his one call came, during a break in a journey from Edinburgh to Bournemouth. The day had been very wet, and he sat down wearin in a chair in my shop parlor to examine some pamphlets that he had inquired about. He told me that one of his shoes leaked, and I suggested that he take it off and allow it to be dried. I thought Mr. Stevenson would be in- terested to see a catalogue that I had just issued in which the first edition of his New Arabian Nights (two vol- umes, published in 1882) was listed at 8s. (id. in the original cloth. A moment earlier he had been depressed by the sight on my shelves of some sixty copies of the bookâ€"a library surplus that I had purchased for a shilling a volume.
