QUARANTINE The 8Ute'« great preventative na< dune has no more potent adjunct jto her efforts to kill budding epidemic* then quarantine. To the lay mind the expression BUg-^ gvsts the prevention of the landing of | ahipa infected with disease, etc., but in y reality the term is now used to indicate the segregation of all sickness of infective and contagious character under all drcumstanses. When an alarm of fire is sounded no one thinks of hindering' the onrushing engines nor to impede the brave men I who hasten - to the scene of destruction. They are experts, they know the danger of delay, the seriousness of the situs- ' tion. One the doctor-police reports the ! starting of contagion or infection to the local health board, of if the gravity of the danger warrants, to the State . Commissioner, then the greater General j Alarm is sounded. No one should dare to neglect the most trivial order. Instant and implicit obedience to this form of -discipline is as necessary as that which protects and maintains the welfare of an army. The slightest mistake may set free an avalanche of death. Directing and softening every act of both health officer and citizen In this serious business should be heard the command of the Master: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." It seems almost unbelievable that less than three hundred years ago America's population began with one hundred and two souls. And equally amazing is It that now one hund|ed and four millions eat, breathe, sleep and live in this great land of ours. As a corollary of this stupendous growth and the result of the action of the law of self preservation, the necessity for greater knowledge 01 medicine, preventjtive and hygen|c, grew with i. ever increasing force. With the formation of state boundaries, schools of. medicine! appeared and along with great aggregations of men, medical centers came into existance. As a result of all this study and action great salient truths have appeared, viz: that in modern medicine disease ' is not an individual but a social affair.. That the way to keep healthy is to make every one about us healtnv. lnai the one wy to stop an epidemic is oy , concerted action. '{. , Therefore legislation has been quick • to form communions and boafls of : health and to understand the worth of . organized medicine. States have seen \ the wisdom of maintaining a firm eoni" - trol Of physicians so that when exig-_, cncies arise they can instantly be formed into an army of medical police. — j Publicity Committee, Medical Society of New Jersey.

The teaching of Spanish should be made compulsory in our public schools;- in fsrt. a resolution was unanimously adopted by the International High Commission at Buenos Aires recommending to each Government that in all schools supported by pubjic funds or aided In any w"ay by public funds the study of English, Spanish, and Portugese should be obligatory. It is astonishing that so few people in our country, relatively speakfcjj c I

ing, understand that in the moat popu- ■ lout Republic in South America-— Bra- ' zil — the language is Portugese and not i Spanish. We do .not pay enough attention to -the study of Spanish in our • j schools, while, on the other hand, Eng- ' lish is taught to a very targe extent in i the schools' of South America. At the present time we rarely think - of citing' Latin American publicist and • scientists. Practically no reference is ever made to Latin American literature. i We pay little attention to the currents ; of thought of Central or South America, unmindful of the fact that Important contributions have been made and are - constantly being made in every department of literary and scientific effort. 1 ■ j would not for a moment disparage the > | study of French or German, nor bclij- ' tie the treasures which a knowledge of ' ! these languages unfolds, but I do wish I to submit toi you the desirability of ac-. I quainting our youth with the intellectual effort and the intellectual achievei ment of the American Continent." i — From a speech by Hon. Wm. J. Mci Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury, before ■ National Education Association on July ! 1916. MRS. MARY MATTHEWS i Mrs. Mary Iungerich Matthews, of l Philadelphia, died suddenly in her ' Beach avenue cottage on Tuesday last. Mrs. Matthews had been HI for some i time, but lately had been improving in > health, and her death was a great sur1 prise and shock to her family and > friends. Mrs. Matthews was an aunt of > Horace Smith, also of Philadelphia, and a summer resident in Cape May. The body of the deceased was removed to i Philadelphia by train on Thursday and buried the following day in the family vault at Woodland Cemetery. y
