FAVOR PAPER TOS FDR SCHOOL WIS A special meeting of the West Pittston School Board was held last evening, the time being spent in the informal discussion of. a number of matters pertaining to the schools, Action on several Questions was defer red.

The directors examined samples or paper tissue towels, which are be' ing introduced quite generally in pub' lie buildings as a sanitary measure, It Is believed by many physicians and sanitary experts that the ordinary towel, used In common by many school children, is one of the means by which skin diseases are spread. The paper towel is simply a roll of soft paper. from which a perforated section may be easily removed by the person de siring, a 'towel, Using It to dry his hands or face after washing, and then throwing it in the waste basket. It is estimated that the cost of paper loweis is inue is any. more man me cost of cotton towels and the launder insr of the same.

For many years in the West Pittston schools it has been customary for each teacher to supply towels for her own room, but when the new high school building was placed in the directors arranged to. supply towels for. that building and have them laundered at the expense of the district. The sentiment ex pressed by the directors last evening was strongly in favor of furnishing paper towels for all of the schools, and the president will secure additional samples, prices and other desirable in formation, so that definite action can be taken at the next meeting.

There was no one in the building at the time of the explosion, 'but Smith had for some unknown reason, although such action is contrary to regulation and' custom, since these mills are dangerous while in opera tion, and are started and stopped with long iron' rods which enable the work men to stand at a safe distance. The unfortunate young man wsa so close to the mill when the explosion oc curred that the flames burned him frightfully and' a board flying from the structure struck him on the fore head. The building was consumed within a short time.

'By special request, Mr. McDowell I spoke especially about the conditions in Turkey. By reason oi his long res idence in that country and his famil iarity with the manners and aspira' tions of the people, he was able to give what some of the men said was the most comprehensive and informing idea of the situation there that they had ever heanj or read.

Everybody knows about the revolution that occurred in the government of Turkey a couple of years ago, when, without the shedding of human blood, the old eul tan was deposed and a new ruler, representative of the Young Turks party, was placed on the throne, hut tew peo. pie in this country have an idea of the conditions that made this 'bloodless revolution possible. Mr. McDowell accounted or this remarkable event by explaining what he called the sec ondary work of the Christian mission arles in Turkey. He said that preach' ing the word of God was the first and foremost work of the missionary, but.

In connection with this, he has been doing a secondary work. For the past 20 years he has 'been going up 'and down Turkey, mingling with the peo' pie in an informal way and telling them about the conditions of social and governmental life that prevails ln tne united estates. in his own case, iMr. McDowell said, he had visited on an average 100 villages in various parts of Turkey each year for 20 years, and each time that he vutted them he the people eager to hear talk about social, industrial and gov ernmental conditions in America. The people of Turkey very generally have been greatly Interested Jn learning from the missionaries how the Amcr lean people live and do things, and the question that arises in their minds is, "Why cant we do the same?" Thus when the time was ripe and the Young Turks seiaod the throne, there was no body to object.

The revolution simply consisted dn the reading of the proc lamation or tne new king in every city, town ana village. Their minds tilled with ideas of advanced vcillization, gained from mission workers, they tne accession or the represent tative of tne modern wirtvwlth Joy. i or nai. an nour after he closed nis address, Mr. McDowell remained, to gether with many of the men.
