They are, "Eyes and "Ears" and "Teaching Health in Public School and Medical Inspec tion of Public School." Two Blanks for reports to County Superintendent, and blank cards for reporting defects of childrens sight and hearing are sent to the parents with the bulletins. T lis is a long step forward in the School System of the state. Many a child has been severely censured when it really needed medical at tention.

Kissing the Book No Longer Compulsory in England. London I bspati'li, ','Ut. 1'nder ;i new regulation, in cll'ect today, important changes have been made in t he requirements for the taking of oaths in English courts. Kissing the Book,'' a custom w hich has been enforced in England for many centuries, is no longer obligatory. Scientists as sert that the practice is likely to result in the spreading of disease germs, and examinations of many Bibles, used in law courts confirmed this theory. The new lorm of tak ing an oath is as follows: A witness, after giving his name, will betolti: "Taking the Book in your right hand and raise your hand." lie will then repeat: swear by Almighty dod that the evidence I shall give to the court i and jury i touching the mat ters in question shall be the truth, the w hole truth, and nothing but the truth." hacn juiyman m tiiesime way- will swear "that 1 will well aud truly try the issues joined between the parties and a true verdict give accoiding to the evidence." "Kissing the Book" has not been formally abolished. The new act says: "nv oath may De minimis tered, " etc. Anyone who prefers the old method mav still "kiss the Book," but by the act all officers administering the oath must use the new form unless the person taking the oath objects.
