About Ninety Girls Have Left Col
lege, it is Said-Precautionary
Steps.
News and Courier.
Columbia, Nov. 11.-Superinten
dent Martin is back from Rock Hill,
where the board of trustees and
State board of health have been hold
ing meetings looking into the check
ing of the spread of typhoid fever at
Winthrop.
Mr. Martin said today that the
situation remains much the same as
a few days ago.
About ninety girls have already
left Winthrop, and every day tele
grams come from parents requesting
that their daughters he given r rmis
sion to come home. However, the re
cent dismissals from the infirmary
have had a quieting influence upon
the student body, and the girls do
not appear greatly agitated.
The board of health is exerting
persistent efforts to find the source~
of infection, and*is now attempting
to clear up the matter by means ot
elimination. The water supply has
been abandoned and city water is
being used. The milk has been
stopped. Flies are being trapped and
everything possible is being done to
ascertain the cause of the epidemic.
The period of incubation is fromi
ten to twenty-one days, and if no
new cases develop within that num
ber of days after the precautionary
measures above mentioned were tak
en, the situation will then be in hand
and the epidemic will have ceased.

Growers' association. Gov. Noel ot
Mississippi also spoke. Harrie Jor

in an interview Mlr. Jordan said the
meeting would be the most important
conference of cotton men ever held.
Mr. Jordan said that it was indeen
fitting that it should be assembled in
this the largest interior cotton mar
ket in the world.
"We have assembled,'' he contin
ued, "to safeguard and protect the

standing the fact that it represents
one of the world 's gr-aLtest necessi

A Way of Approach.
The srAall army of public school
teachers who instruct the children of
New York's lowest East Side fina
that young America in tlke making
is an interesting study. When the
young American springs from the
Hebraic stock it is doubly interest
ing. Inborn shrewdness will crop out
even in the pupils of tender years.
A teacher was striving to interest
her class in American history b.x
more or less dramatic representations
of certain historical scenes. in which
the children themselves took on for
the women the various historic char
acters. The subject was the occas
ion of Willin Peen appearing be
fore the English king in demand of
some right claimed by himself and
his Quarker brethren in the colony
of Pennsylvania. A youngster ot
becoming sternness of ecountenance
represented the monarch. A -pert
young miss, in the character of Penn,
demanded recognizition of him ~in
anything but a Quakerish manner.
''Now, children,'' said the teaeh
er, ''do you really believe that Wil
liam Penn would have gone before
the king with such an air? Would he
have been successful had he put his
claim so boldly and .bluntly to the
king? Cannot somebody else show
us more nearly how Peann would
have approached the king with his
prayer for relief?''
A timid littlte girl with eagerness
in her face, her black eyes shining,
waved her hand.
''Ah!' said the teacher. recogniz
ing her. ''Do you think you could do
it better, R.achel?''
Raehel blushingly believed she
could.
''How would you have approached
the king?'' asked the teacher.
The influence of plaeating genera
tions was shown in the answer.
''I vould ask him, 'how iss peezi
ness?''' said Rahel.-Youth 's
Companion.
