AROUSING THE INTEREST OF PARENTS NEXT GREAT NEED 1 , New York Times. In common with the thousands of ycmr readers of the teaching profession, the undersigned read with great 1 interest your inspiring editorial en- > titled "A Great Civic Event" in the ' morning's Times. It is indeed grati- 1 fying that your representative paper calls attention in so interesting a 1 manner to the re-opening of the puib- 1 lie schools. We . ibelieve that, as never be- 1 fore, our New York teachers and : ? principals are fully alive to their full . duty, not only as instructors in the various scholastic subjects of our ! curriculum, but in the very important patriotic duty of developing 1 Americans not only among the 938,000 pupils, but among the parents ' of these children also.. As Superintendent Ettinger so well expressed it 1 our teachers must be "saturated with 5 a public spirit." We whose duty it is * to serve in sections" having schools 3 attended by pupils of foreign birth, I know how fully the teaching force 1 is measuring up to their full respon- 1 sibilty. 1 NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. < Bids will be received by the A'd- ( beville County Highway Commis- j sioners until 12 o'clock noon, Thursrday, September 22nd, 1921, at the ] office of L.

Investigation li, bo learn the reason for his suicide te was started immediately. g. Liquor valued at $50,000 and ,\x drugs valued at $75,000 were con- r fiscated. The King Alexander parti- a cipated in a midnight race to port th from beyond the three-mile limit on ec September 1, in an effort to make to sure that the immigrants oh board ec would be admitted to the country a under the monthly quota regula- ^ :ions. gj< More than a score of shots were exchanged by the crew and fifteen jrohibition agents. None of the pro- }n libition agents mas hurt In order to obtain evidence, the j. >rohilbiton agents said, two of them . irranged on Wednesday with mefm- rpj >ers of the crew to pay $14,000 on ju ;he vessel toay for the liquor and ti< irugs. These two went on a vessel , ilone. Meanwhile a member of the m :rw noticed a launch with the other ca igents approaching. He warned his ^ :omrades and the battle began. The shooting attracted custom gj< fuards and police reserves who sur- g[ ound^d the pier to prevent the ^ :rew from fleeing. The prohibition ar igents said, however, that an offlcer ^i( >f the vessel to whom they were to j ij>a >ay the/money had vanished. The w] vounded members of the crew were ja aken to a hospital under arrest. cj5 hy THE FIRST STRIKE. ! th ,fo .

Once Condemned by Medical ^ Authority, and Outlawed in jj Boston t ? tl That the bathtub was once gener- s< ly condemned by medical authority f i the United States and that all ^ ithing was pronounced illegal in a oston by legislative authority, "ex*pt for medicinal purposes," will robalbly surprise some who think p tat the regulation of our private e' iibits has reached its maximum in ^ . 4 r* n i it _ T - J r\! C' jar or ?yzi, says tne .Literary ui;st. Such, however, are the facts, i related by the writer of "An Out- n ne History of Tubbing," contriibu-> Cl id to Gas Logic (New York, Au- * ist). According to him, the first B( ithtub to 'be btfUt and used in the C) epublic was perpetrated by one e! dam Thompson, of Cincinnati, in b ie year 1842. The word "perpetrat1" is used advisedly, we are ei Id, for Mr. Thompson's tub appear- w I as a serious misdemeanor, if not Ic high crime, in the eye3 of the ai ess, the public, the medical profes- o; t>n and the legislatures of the day. fi e goes on: C "We have no record that it was veighed against (by the clergy, but was roundly denounced in the pulb- si : prints as subversive of democrat- w simplicity and pioneer hardihood, tl ie good doctors averred that so UI xurious a form of bathing, prac- U1 :ed in winter, would lead to m hthisis, rheumatic fevers, inflamation of the lungs, and the whole tegory of. zymotic diseases.' To e: event any such disaster, the Com- ai on Council of Philadelphia con- ai iered but failed to pass by a mar- tl n of two votes, a measure making thing illegal between November 1 e^ id March 15. Viriginia by legisla- ti :e action laid a tax of $30 on all m ithtubs, while Boston went to the bi lole hog by making 'bathing unlaw- ju nrfnl aova An fVio nf o rvViTrcri- oi in.
