Of , those i|*f attendance lust summer IIS held cob , lege degrees, 74 were superintendents, principals and high school teachers, 6tf| were Intermediate-grade teachers, 961 primary teachers, 117 rural school j teachers, und five rural school super visors.

Written for The Intelligencer by Rev. T. Wann, Evangelist, The scope of this subject fa broad. There are many experiences of life in "'h!c? vre -Cuiim/i ace manifestations of Divine care over us, because they are so numerous and often mysterious. But in "unny of our experiences God's care for us can be easily understood, as in our food, clothing, health and many other blessings. But much as God cares for us, He gives us Jome part In caring for our selves m tn-9 matter of obeying the natural laws which He has made for our well-being. And yet the; expres sion is often uiade in reference to a departed loved one, It was best that he should die," or "it was the Lord's will to take him," while perhaps the deceased had burned out his lifo with alcohol. While I believe God often [overrules the loss of oueisnul. making this loss serve as a warning to his surviving associates, yet it , by no means proves that .'God willed'that be sboukl die thus, but it Blmpiy servesjp an example of Divine wisdom warn ing many to respect by the loss of one soul: ' God's foreknowledge as to how all will die may be compared to a man looking through a telescope at a man without sight walking near a precipice. The first man knows that the sec ond is in danger, but he is not respon sible for, his being there. To say that God's ' knowledge l" infinit** ts ' one iti.nn?, a/htio in anv that everything that haunons la according-to HI* wtH 5t- a^-?? 'jr. Tr? fact that ?den who give Christ the remnant c? thvir lives and a shadowed body, and* then ask His forgiveness for their self-indul gence proves that such a course Is dis pleasing to Him, and that if the man had died unforgiveo their death could not have been according to the Divine will .even though Divine wisdom did use It as a warning to others to con sider and repent. So, let no man hav ing dishonored Col u his body, charge his suffering to bis Creator, neither let relatives who survive him say that he died according to God's will. This view does not detract in the least from God's power; the.&crlpturee teach us that men can and should live I until Christ shall say, "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Truly the death of these Is according to the Divine wIlL They have finished their I work, and He has called them to their reward. But this subject has another appli cation In the matter of proper sanita tion, which is being agitated j|t the present day. As warm weather ap proaches our attention turns again to the fly, the mosquito and o*.her disease carriers. With bird life rapidly de creasing in this fiouutry, these pests upon which birds used to feed, are on the increase. Tbls means greater vigilance on the part .'of our people as well as greater expense. A par of this expense, sickness, and death, however, can be prevented. A. gentleman told me Recently that he never mfssed an opportunity to de stroy files, when not otherwise en gaged (a good way in which to apend Idle moments.) If all tjicjtiine spent in gosBlp and In useless* and some times sinful pastime were spent war ring against disease carrying pests, tbare would-be bettor health, better uktSIs and fewer funerals. v ? here aro ai ieast three classes o< people, that do not see the necessary precautions against the spread of dis ease, vis.: Those who have never been taught the importance of so doiug; those who live In crowded quarters in cities, where poverty reigns send who^ cannot afford the expense; and those who continually read of the import ance of tbese precautions and who are amply able to take .th^th ib?t who re ceive the Information as seed sown on stony ground. I But no matter bow tbese may treat the subject, it.la important noverthe le?1?. The pl*OP*r ol>?ter??nc? o? ??nf- j tary taws will inth* opinion of medi cal experts multiply the years of one's life. Indeed a contagiosa disease may snuff ont tbo life ni a rMld, who +\*%. JL+\+t *^am*1 <t..twlt?ls*ttei mloh ft> Lso/> lived to see KO years; and the same' dlses' e will take otber members .of the family unless great precaution* la | used. Examples of disease-carrying in sects may be mentioned. The mos quito is said to spread yellow fever, malarial fever, and other germs. Screening against the pests is- good, but absence of stagnant water, their element is far better. Hence .the old suying, "an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure." Care should be taken to prevent stagnant water lit low lands .and roads should be watch ed, so as to prevent the troublesome boghole, not only for the sake of] teams and wagons, but above all to re duce the number of mosqultos, und thus safeguard health and life. Rats are said to carry contagious discaso from one country to anothe** by escaping from their hiding place-.1 in ships after they have landed. But the rats already here are satd to spread diseases also, and I believe that fdrmers should wage relentless war fare upon them, not only to prevent their destroying grain, harness and the like, but above all In the interest of good health. To those who love to kill birds, I would say, "kill rats," and thus render a real scrvico to your country in the matter of good health. I believe that God Intends that we itakc the precautions mentioned above and others, this being a part Ho bus given us in preserving our lives. If the birds which He created to pro tect us have been killed by thought less sportsmen, then those# who-are powerless to remedy this evil should take other precautions to fight the dis ease carriers, which birds would de stroy if permitted to live.

What is thought to be the biggest Bingle improvement msde in the artil lery service in a decade is comprised in the new field gun recently adopted by the United States government. The carriage of tbla gun has a double, or split, trsil, tho word "trail" being used to designate the long beam or prop, that supports the gun on the ground at the rear. The old-style single trail prevented any great lowering of the gnn breech and thereforo limited the angle to which the muxslo could be elevated, i With the spilt trail tho breech drops down between tho halves and any elevaUon of muzzle that is necessary may be secured. By means of a hand wheel the gun may be swung quickly and easily In a wide horizontal arc without shitting Ute trail, which la another great improve ment over the old-style carrlaga.
