of a competitive examina tion at which tho candidates were young mon ranging in age from eighteen to twenty two years and all of whom with probably onooxception had enjoyed tho advantages of a high school education revealed a want of familiarity with Eng lish and American authors and classics that is absblutely startling not to say appalling Among the questions were the following What author wrote 1 Idylls of tho King 2 Endymion3 Man fred 4 Lady of the Lake 5 Henry Es mond and Name one work of each of the following authors 1 Chau cer 2 Milton 3 Hawthorne 4 Drydon 5 Dickons One of the candidates answered seven of the questions correctly and another six The best of tho others knew the answers to but four while one poor fel low thought he knew but one of the ten questions and he said Milton wrote Lady of the Lake Another equally as modest in the estimate of his attain ments but more fortunate in his guess ascribedDickens Novelsand Pickwick Papers to their proper author and to that extent evinced his superiority over the other Even he who made the most favorable showing thought Spencer wrote Endymion and Browning Henry Esmond Anther thought thero was some connection between the produc tions mentioned in tho first question and the authornamed in thesecond and set opposite those five titles in their order the names of Milton Chaucer Shakespeare Hawthorne and Dryden He correctly answered three of the re maining five questions and while he did not know when he came to this part of the examination which he bad assum ed a moment before wasj the converse of the preceeding question what Dryden had written ho thought Chaucer was the author of Tales of a Wayside Inn The candidate who had answered six of the questions correctly thought John Keats wrote Endymion and ascribed Ivanhoe to Dickens The one who had answered but four of the questions cor rectly said that Longfellow wrote Endy mion Edgar Allen Poe Henry Esmond and believed Hawthorne was the author of The Knickerbockers Three said that Tennyson wrote Idylls of the King which a fourth ascribed to Milton From the answers- in these papers one might well believe that a diversity of opinion existed as to the authorship of Endymion variously cred ited to Spencer John Keats Longfellow and Chaucer Not one answered the question correctly nor did any one know who wrote Manfred To this question but one candidate had the temerity to make answer and he bold and wild in all his replies said Shakespeare Only three knew that Lady of the Lake was written by Scott which a fourth ascrib ed to Milton while but one knew the authorship of Thackerys masterpiece which was laid by three others at the doors of Browning Edgar Allen Poe and Dryden Asked to name some one work of Chaucer two named the Canterbury Tales a third apparently recalling that the father of English literature had written some sort of Tales mentioned Tales of a Wayside Inn while the fourth the only other man who attempted an answer to the question thought that Chaucer was che author of Gullivers Travels A curious development of this analysis was the fact that a larger num ber of correct answers was made in re sponse to the inquiry for one work of Milton than to any other question all those who attempted an answer naming Paradise Lost Two gave the Scarlet Letter and one The House of 7 Gables as a work of Hawthorne while still an other said Hawthorne had written The Knickerbockers Only one hazarded a guess as to what Dryden had written He said simply Fables Three nam ed David Copperfield as a work of Dick ens A fourth remembered that Dickens had written novels and the Pickwick Papers while still another ascribed to that author Scotts great storyIvanhoe Someone is to blame for this woeful exhibition of ignorance All these young men have had the educational advan tages that this great state so prides her self on furnishing to her children They are probably young men of more than average intelligence for their ages and stations in life but the result of this ex amination seems to indicate that a cog has been slipped somewhere in their training Croup Usually begins with the symptoms of a common cold there is

route Shoes The Other Side Editor Tribune My attentionhas been called to an article in your valuable paper of recent date on tho subject of vaccination If the writers reference to the Jennor and the English people means anything wo infer he aimed to convey the idea that they were from small pox being protected by vaccination Let us examine tho subject from this standpoint and see what we can find During the epidemic of 1871 more than 10000 porsons died of small poxjn Eng land and Wales 7000 of whom had been vaccinated Thero were 125000 cases in the whole country There were 30000 small pox cases reported in tho German army in 1870 Bavaria has been undercompulsory vaccination laws since 1807 In 1871 thero weie 31000 small pox cases in Bavaria 29350 had been vaccinated 5070 died Sweden is said to bo one of the best vaccinated countries on the globe In 1874 there was a death rate in Sweden of 10290 per million from smallpox The city of Leicester in England with a population of 200000 has rejected vacci nation for tho last 20 years For the whole of that period Leicester reports a death rate of small pox at 10 per million less than one death per annum Now let us examine the report of tho army and navy every recruit for the army or navy is re vaccinated unless he has re cently had small pox Yet the deaths in the army and navy from small pox were 37 per million for the same period There can be no more convincing test than this It shows the worthlessness of the simple precaution In the small pox epidemic of 1871 Leicester and Birmingham were both well vacci nated towns In Leicester there were 327 small pox cases per 10000 of tho population While in Birmingham there wore only 213 Now notice the contrast Remem ber that Leicester has rejected vaccina tion to such an extent that in 1894 it had only 7 vaccinations to 10000 population While Birmingham was vaccinated up to 240 per 10000 population It has been shown that the disease was brought to Leicester on twelve separate occasions during the epidemic of 1891 94 Small pox cases in Leicester per 10000 popula tion 19 in Birmingham 63 Deaths in Leicester 1 Deaths in Birmingham 5 An official report of the city of War rington states that 992 per cent of the population had been vaccinated when the epidemic of 1892 93 struck them The comparison with unvaccinated Lei cester stands as follows Leicester 19 per 10000 of population Warrington 123 per 10000 Deaths in Leicester 14 per 10000 Deaths in Warrington 114 per 10000 This is conclusive evidence that vaccination is not only useless but positively injurious After a careful in vestigation of the history of vaccination I am convinced it is one of the greatest delusions ever saddled upon the human race That it is a filthy and dangerous prac tice originating back in the dark ages when advocates of the flat earth referred to by the writer were more numerous than they are now To unlearn what we have learned amiss seems to be one of our most difficult tasks It seems there are but few who have the desire to reconsider and the power to readjust their preconceived opinions ideas thoughts and arguments opposed to the way they were taught to think is just about as effective as is water pour ed on a ducks back Anti vaccinationists have no fight with those who desire to be vaccinated The fight is with those who desire to compel the anti to be vaccinated Vaccination either protects one from taking small pox or mitigates small pox when one has taken it or it does neither of those things Now if it neither protects nor miti gates then it is useless and ought not to be enforced by law If it only mitigates then since the mildest varioloid is as contagious as the most severe form vaccinated small pox is no less dangerous to the community than unvaccinated Again if the doc trine is true that it protects those who believe it will go and be vaccinated and then being safe themselves have no son therefore no right to enforce it up- on others at
