We find that |ho wmlis should be white washed or calsmlned and that the building needs scouring and a great d^ii of work along this line to put it In sanitary condition.

Here is, tho principle we must recognize. Our race came up from savagery through barbarism, chivalry, to civilization. No doubt our race spent more time in barbaric stage than we have in the civilized.' The European war shows how easy it is to drop' back. Science*tells us that every individual repeats the race history. The bar barian likes excitement, show, gla mor, noise, rings in his none and bracelets on hi** ankle:;, if we get the people to the fair, that we may educate' them after they yet there, we v niust appeal to them thrmign amusements that satisfy their rnelni Inheritance, of which we all have our share.
