We have seen some public good conte from a most unexpected quarter, le bill boarde-wh y roadsides, city streets and vacant ' , The most cheerful and optimis- tie of us had not hoped for such a easing. If the pictures there por- : trayed and the substance there adver- ttesd "were harmless and not too re- pulsive, our aspirations went no jifcrtner.' At the Christmas season the. large mblic bill boards were utilized to de- lict the story of the birth of-Jesus gjth the worshipping shepherds and -the gift-bearing Magi come to do bona- ege -to> the Infant Messiah. /These pictures were placed through -the agency of the Poster Advertising * association whose purpose it is to give to all children, but especially to those handicapped by an unhappy environ- movement which Is just now the slo- gan of those who are 'devoting time and energy to the service of the public because cf a mighty interest in_ hu- manity. So it was among those of the same disposition forty years ago. In a "safety first- meeting «* "rall- w ay aicu, ibc« present day activity to- ward protecting employes and patrons from accident dne to their own care- lessness or that of the officials of the road, the statement was made that more than forty years ago a Jersey City | railway buperiutendent had posted in conspicuous places around the. yards and shops of bis road, the simple sign, -Safety is Paramount" The diffcrenco in our cry today from that of tour decades ago has been wrought, not by new conditions of danger, but by our disposition to be curt* "Paramount" or "first" Is imma- terial. It is the safety which we have been seeking for forty years and seem now,.

The posting of the Christmas picture 'was not.simply an impulsive act to which: the. members of the association . .were driven by the Christmas season, for/'they intend to continue in their beautiful work. f .Soott: there;. will, ap- jpeaif a series of posters illustrative of ■IhR career of General Grant, pictures -which -will bear the,legend, "This.Is jVhatone poor boy accomplished.

The world is interested in the an- nouncement of the results of experi- ment In the Pasteur Institute In Paris relative to the strength and activity of the tuberculosis bacillus, as the world is interested in the increase of knowl- edge in any subject, the truth of which is as yet hidden from- the mind of man. There is no more serious question before the nations now than the eradication of tuberculosis, an achievement which will come when the whole public becomes familiar with the nature of the foe it fights. Until then, we shall welcome, every addition to the fighting force against this disease and be grateful for every curative or ameliorating agent pro- duced. We must not forget, however,, that we have already at hand, the remedy If. we could but pre- vail upon the afflicted to use it or upon the public to insist and aid in its application. Sunshine^ fresh air, With large EnroHfiient of Students Principal Helm is --Priud of the Past anil Op- timistic as to PLANS ra^NEXOlRii - By N. W. Helm (Principal Evanston Academy). It is with pleasure that I accept The News' request to s< feel that the Evanston Academy has accomplished during the past year, and the plans for the coming year. I would very much prefer that some- one else could do-thlsrss it may seem too much like speaking of one's per- sonal work, whereas I want it to be considered from the standpoint of the academy as an institution and not from any one person's connection with it. May I preface my letter with a Evanstonians as a whole do not realize what a successful preparatory school is in their midst, and that It ranks without doubt among the first five private schools of the "land. 1 had this opinion of it before I came to Evanston, but close contact with it has made me absolutely sure that the reputation is. deserved. Nor is it to be wondered at, in view of the fact that for over thirty, years it-had as principal such a master educator as Dr. Herbert F. Elsie, or tor live years succeeding him the brilliant Dr. Arthur Wilde. Feels Humble._______ I have felt very humble in succeed- ing such men, and have realized that I should be very fortunate if I could .maintain its efficiency at a leve) to which they brought it, let alone mak- ing any advances. Other factors in producing so great a school are its freedom from any attempt to make it a money-producing machine, its de- sire to be. of real service in .develop- ing true Christian gentlemen and gen- tlewomen, its unwillingness to' be con- tent with teaching any subject unless It can'bje taught in the most perfect manner;'its association With a'great university, and the:splendid boar4;;of trustees who have fostered it'in a mostjmjelfish manner.

I fee? that I must take this much space to pay a tribute of affection to the school which has taken such a hold upon raj own love and interest, and to ask for it a sympathetic interest from those who form its neighbors. -: * It is impossible for me to think of a school except from three viewpoints, each of which is Important to its com- plete success. Hence I shall discuss our work of the year in such a man- ner, considering the physical, the mental and the moral phases. the. girls and have them schedule con- tests with nearby schools. Mr. A. T. Weaver, the debate coach, is very en- thusiastic over this matter, and it now depends upon what Interest the girls themselves will show. From the moral standpoint, the past year seems to have been one of the honr as there has been no case cf dis- cipline arising from improper con- duct, and even such matters as cheat- ing, lying, etei teem to hive been conspicuously absent The -chapel service has been Improved and is be- coming more and more a factor for good, with its devotional services and the addresses made by prominent speakers. • Even the splendid organ music cannot fail to be an influence for meditation, land is greatly appre- cjated i by students and faculty alike The administration never loses sight of the fact that this i.-a ^rMlan^HmW-auch W»P»*ette jggggg3§ the best work Is lacking.-The parents are convinced that we Really •»■ eager to helpTheirchildren jmt forth their best efforts, and that any sug- gestions they can make are desired.

The Association of Retail Druggists of Kansas City at a recent meeting an- nounced the fact that patent medi- cines are falling more and moro into disuse. The explanation for the change in the public attitude toward Busy in Athletics. In the physical or athletic work, we have tried to take full advantage of our unsurpassed equipment and cap able, coaches, not with a view to turn ing out winning teams, although wc like to win, if it can be done fairly; but that every student may have a chance to exercise and establish a firm physical basis for his mental growth. More students are using the those compounds advertised to cure-fgymnasium this year than ever before. every ailment of the flesh was this: "Managers have learned that the pub- lic is educated past the continual use of patent medicines." It is probably true that the public education in the matter of the efficacy of patent medicines is advancing, but we do not believe that that fact alone accounts for the very great decline in the business of the manufacturers of these nostrums. In our opinion it is far more due to the discontinuance of the practice of running patent medi- cine advertisements on the part of reputable newspapers and periodicals. HOW MANXI may be the custom in all, has adopted this system as a reminder of their in- dividual obligation to service. Every day each boy puts a knot' in his neck- tie to remind him that he must do one good, turn that day. When the help- ful act has been knot Is untied.- accomplished,^ the We wonder how many of the grown ups,--men-and women who are cum- sets for himself, how many of us, would find at night the knot still un- tled in our ties. year. There seems to be the best -spirit of study and the best evidences of something accomplished of any of my five years here. This past quar ter, ending at Thanksgiving time showed fewer low" grades than' ever before, despite the fact that the standards are bejng constantly held high and the grading Is close. Thio- ls due to the brilliant faculty, which I firmly behove Js unsurpassed In thli country, and whose members are in spiring teachers, thus aiding the stu .dents to.- do better work wlthJess ef- fort; also to the many self-supporting students and those of maturer yean itfho provide an atmosphere of ear nestness that seems to stimulate al who come in contact with it; also tr the fact that when people pay tuitlor they usually want to get their ful. value, and in this case that can bs done only by their own efforts; also to the close personal follow-up system, .which protects them from their own tendency to be absent or to grow care- less, or, /at ieak# gives them no ex- cuse for not1 knowing where they stand.

I think we are one of the pioneer schools in this work, and I feel that it Is another noteworthy advance dur- ing the year. There ar© n*80? more things I could say about the school, for I am most enthusiastic over it, but I have already said too much. As for the future, 1. ?sn best state my purposes by saying that 1 shaH strive to discover any de- fects in any of the three phases of school work I have dis- cussed and Strive to secure a state ■is near perfection as possible, believ- ing that no one department should nitroni the others, .but that all are necessary to the ideal school which :s ever in my mind, and not very far llstant in realization. especially in basketball, track and swimming. A new plan this year If to have two basketball squads, one for the heavier students, the other for the lighter ones. Each has a schedule of games, and many boys are trying for them. There is much interest in track^ and inter-class ahdThter-society meets are encouraged with a view to inter eating boys^ who might not otherwise- feel that they had any track ability Swimming has more devotees than usual, and mahy boys are learning to be at liGnse in the water. ^ <Above all we have succeeded more than ever in making the boys feel that athletic; is, not the main issue of the school but that It Is merely a means to an end,. and should ever be so consid- ered, professionalism being in no way an attractive field for life work. Through physical work we seek to dis- courage smoking and any other habit- that are harmful, and allow no pro fanlty, an evil that so many coaches One company^ of Boy Scouts, andl__il ^m to wink at Only bohajide-stu dents are allowed to participate In the games, and the idea that a boy is de_ sired as a student because he hasath letlc prowess only to recommend him is vehemently discouraged.
