A report of Dr. Long, Health ; Officer of the Town of Roanoke ' Rapids, made to the Board of.

AUrs had bfen ottered and was sen ousU considering accepting the position of Superintendent ul the Public Schools of Halifax iVutity, ui do not suppose the statement made in the news columns ni this issue that Mr. Aker' resignation as Superintendent of the Roanoke Rapids Graded Schools lias been received and accepted by the Board of School Trustees of the Graded School I hstriet w ill cause a great de.il of surprise. There is a widespread feeling in this community, however, that the t'ounty Schools' gain is goinc to mean the Graded Schools. lo.-,s - at lea.-t for a time. Mr. Akers' service:', to the Graded Schools as Superintendent hae been extra ordinarily efficent and his long years of experience have unques tionably rendered him more valuable to the schools than any man they can possibly get, no matter how able his successor may be. Mr. Akers has watched over and guided the growth of the schools I rum their ver begin ner until now, and to Inm is due in large measure the credit for the wonderful results accompli shed. The Roanoke Rapid 4 Graded Schixils have never taken a backward step, progress has been steady and rapid: not once has internal faction or schism developed to cause the school.-, to lose in either prestige or elli cieney. About every man in I public life, mure or less criticism i i:; inevitable, but we believe there , has been less criticism and more! commendation for Mr. Aker work in the seven years be has; been with us than has been in! any school district in the State, j A Prose Poem j This story, which we glean j from the editorial columns of the j State Journal, is new, to us: j Not so long ago,' in one of the j i :c..t : .i t . c .i. ! nr.iuuiui Lioewaier low on 01 iiie State, a ghastly deed was done. A man was stabbed, again and again near a score of times so that he fell where he was and died where he fell. The slayer was tried with the usual formali ties. Witnesses testified, law yers made speeches, the judge charged the jury, the verdict fol lowed and the prisoner was sen tenced to prison for a term of years. There was nothing so very unusual about the trial. The people read about it all in the papers and soon forgot it. It is needless to rehearse it hniv Society used the best means it has been able to devise to admin ister justice, so let it pass. But there was an incident connected with the last moments of the dead man, which it may be worth while to relate. When the stricken man sank to the grounds, with his life blood gushing from his many wounds, he asked that some one '. pray for him, because he knew ; that his end was at hand. But ' those who had gathered around him stood dumb in their horror. When silence was the only an swer to his request, he began to pray for himself. Whether, in Irrigate Your Neighborhood By HERBERT KAUFMAN Author of ")o Something!

Lad, over the years he had spent, as thev sa the mind does in evtreme moments, he saw in the gathering gloom the vision of a good woman bending over the Lowed head of a little boy as he knelt in evening pray er, it is needless now to inquire; but this is what he said as best he could in his dv ing agony: "Now I lay me down to sleep I pr-pray the Lord l ii v soul to k keep If I sh should --die --be-fore-- I wake 1 p pray the - Lord my -.oul -to - io--ta." "The crimson .stream of life had ceased to llow, and so it was that this strong man died with the prayer of childhood, on his lips. The tide went out to the sea; the stars looked down from on high; and in thousands of homes little children w ere kneel ing with bowed heads and say ing: their "Now I lay me's. " And thus it happened that when Sandalphon, the Angel of Pray er, gathered up the "Now I lay me's" that night and bore them as a garland of pure white blos soms through the portals of the City Celestial, lo, a blood-red rose was found in their midst." LIVING OLD AND WELL Old Age Diseases Reduce Average Length of Life 1 luring the nineteenth century the expectation of life rose to eight years or tw ice that of the two preceding years This fact is accounted for cbierty through the saving of babv lives and the prevention of infectious diseases during early life. But for some reason the rate at present seems to be at a standstill, and a close study of conditions show that the degenerate diseases after middle life, the nervous, heart and kidney diseases, are to blame. Furthermore the study shows that this is more evident in the United States than else where. The last census shows that the number of people in the United i States dying from diseases of the ; blood vessels is nearly four times ! as great as it was ten years ago ; w hich is to say we are living too j fast and strenuously. Some one 'has said that the great broad fact seems to be that while we ; are freer of germs than our an- certors. our vital organs wear out sooner. We don't know the , value of personal hygiene. We don't know our bodies. We j haven't yet become interested in warding oil' diseases and livinj ! etliciently to a ripe old age. ! An examination recently con- ducted by the Life Extension lnsti j tute in convincing proof of this i statement. A physical examina tion of a large number of officials, (clerks and other employees of I banks and commercial houses, I !. i : ine n i-i hkc ayr of my imriy years, showed that only li' t were normal and that over Wu did not know of their approaching danger. 38'. were found with minor impairments with the early approach of disease while fil'. i had from moderate to seri ous impairments needing medi cal treatment or supervision. 87. were seriously impaired and needed immediate medical atten tion. It is seen that by periodic health examinations and intelli gent personal hygiene many of the degenerate diseases may be headed off, and that man may easily and efficiently live out his alloted time of three score years and ten.
