Habits of Teachers.
Teachers some times rebel because
the community expects them to live up
to hiyh standards. It has a right to
expect more from a teacher than from
other people. The argument for this is
put forcibly by the Nebraska Teacher:
“Teachers often claim the same
right to indulge in pleasures and prac
tices that other people enjoy. A young
man on failing to secure a re-election
as principal of the high school re
maiked: “I can't understand why it
is a crime for me to smoke when every
member of the board *of education
smokes, and no one says a word about
it? A young lady was surprised to
find that her attendance at a public
dance had caused her to lose the re
spect of a few families in the com-
munity. It was the greater surprise
to her because one or two other respect
able young ladies, not teachers,
attended without its affecting their
good name. Why should she be
punished. The teacher who loves
children and who realizes the power
for good or for harm placed in his
hands by the office of teacher has no
difficulty in understanding why the
community demands more of him
morally than of other people. One who
can not understand the reasonableness
of this discrimination ought never to
be licensed as a teacher.
“In schools where two per cent of the
boys drop out of school as a result of
cigaret smoking under a superintendent
who does not smoke, five per cent drop
out for the same reason under his suc
cessor who smokes.
“To be responsible for a habit that
takes just one boy out of school and
places him in the alley is bad enough
Some time no one will be permitted to
teach in the public schools or in the
normal schools or colleges who indulges
in smoking or in the morderate use of
liquor. The sentiment is such at the
present time the eminent educators fail
to get the enjoyment out of there prac
tises that is afforded to those engaged
in other lines of work.

“Beware of Flies”
A circular eutitled “Beware of flies”
is being scattered broadcast in Massa
chusetts by the associated boards of
health. The states of Ohio, New York
and New Jersey have issued similar
circulars. In Washington and in other
Stat’s. newspapers are urging the peo
ple to begin a war of extermination up
on the common house-fl v
is now known to he a deadly enemy to
human health. So n* newspapers are
changing its name from house-fly to
typhoid-fly.
The fly does not its self cause a disese
but it is a carrier of disease germs.
It is said that 10,000 typhoid fever
germs can cling to one of a fly’s
numerous feet. If these germs are left
upon human food they may cause the
person who eats i; to have typhoid
fever. Other diseases of the intestines,
such as cholera infantum, may be
carried in the same way.
Great care should be taken to shut
flies out of houses, and especially to
keep them from alighting on anything
that is to be eaten by human beings.
It is not safe to eat fruit or other food
that has been exposed for sale where
flies may get at it. Yet the editor of
this paper has seen school children in
the East Side tenement streets in New
York eity, eagerly buying, from ped
dlers’ cart penny slices of dust-specked
watermelon that were swarming with
flies. Current Events boys and girls
should know too much to do that.
