'I'he bleBsiog of tbe l^iblic Schools are too papareat to need any argument ter them and they are important facv mn in promotlBS pabllc health becaoae tfeef are an avenue by which all the Iwmefl of all the people may be reacU- •d. To realize these benefits, this arenne must be used and used right. A railroad may be built through a wonderful coantry where marvellous pooslbllities abound but unless traiaB •penXe on this ralroad no benoflts will be reaped by the people living; ta the country through which it ruas. Uo it is with tbe public school and Ifce public health—unless we use tlus avenue into all tbe homes, for thu nprovement of tbe health of the peo ple in the homes, we lose one of tbe great opportunities for universal good. Parents reaulily respond to those Uiings which promise benellts to their etiUdreu, in which bene&ts the parents •/ten share. In fact the welfare of chil dren and of their parents is insepar able, and through the school we caa reach both. Health is tbe foundation ot ull pros perity and happiness, much more nec- •aeary than many of the studies so persistently pursued by our children. Without health life becomes a burden and the poasibilitie.s tor euccess much lessened. Tbe fei hool Is the disseniinator of kiiowl(xlf;o, and should include prac tical kiiiovledgo of how to conserve health and prevent disease. Vhe only way to have bt'althy, strong men and women is to raise healthy childreii and create coDditlons which will in sure that health. The public school offers a good op portunity to acomplish—for proper knowledge of evil will help us to avoid 11—for knowledge is the mother of action. It has been said that in tho school of the future, compulsory edu- catiftn will include compulsory healtu because the latter is nere.ssary to tho former. All governuicnts ported tli'' liniin- cial interest of their citizens, but tlu» duty of con.'ierving the health of thosa i-itizens is ju.st assuniinK its relative importance.

Yesterday tbe teachers, otBcers and student body of the liast Carolina Teacherj Training School gave him a dinner party in honor of the 79th anniversarv of that event. It was an occasion of peculiar interest, and was an evidence o£ the high esteem and genuine af fection that the school feels for tbe man who bas been a constant in spiration and help to them. At one o’clock the faculty, olllcera and seniors gathered in Uiu admin istration building and greeted gover nor Jarvis. Then all went to the din ing room, where the other studenls had already gathered. The dinin,; room was very tastefully decorate in green pine and potted pb.ais. The tables were arraigned in two hollow squares. The tables of the larger square, for students, were placed near the walls. Within this, at the smaller square of tables, place cards we'^e arraigned for Gov. Jarvis, the facuify and seniors. Down the center of tbJ tables a chain of the beautiful par tridge vine with its red berries form ed a graceful decoration. Cut flowers furnished further decoration. Members tif the Junior Class servcMl the dinner. Near tbe close of the dinner Jliss Alice Herring, president of the .lunior class came in, bearing the birthdav cake with the figure “79'' formed by colored, lighted >andles, and piiiced it before Gov. Jarvia. After the great applause, which followed, had ended Pres. W'right arose and said. “If is always difficult to prophMcy, it is dangerous to attempt it.
