The sewerage system of the city is complete. During the general prevalence of pneumonia over the entire country last January and February, there were two cases among the students, but both recovered. Malarial troubles are hardly known among us. It is the purpose of the administration of the University to pay particular attention to the sanitary conditions of the buildings and grounds. THE MENU.

What teachers and students should eat is not a question to be referred to their acquired tastes. It might seem at first that one's appetite should be the guide in the matters of food. To ofrdet this reasoning, we have only to observe the drunkard, the cigarette smoker, the opium eater, and such like. The thing their taste calls for is the very thing they ought not to have The people who are deeply versed In physiology and hygiene and have broad intelligence and an extended experience, and who have no hobbles to ride, are the people who should be heard on this important question of the diet that most promotes health. A quotation from the Bible is apropos; it is really a divine lesson on the subject in hand.

"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of Eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God had bronght Daniel into favor and tender love with the prince of Eunuchs, and the mained Tha seweraee system of the city is complete. )- )1 -A. I Prot James P. Bird, A B.

We can heartily recommend this teacher's method; and since Miss Kendall is advertised in a circular as her Southern representative, it is evident that she is a thorough teacher of the system. Miss Kendall has taught in Vicksburg, and has sung in a salaried choir at that place. For the past year she has taught In McLaurin Institute, Meridian.

The Director of Music in the University can heartily recommend her In every way, having known her personally for three years. PROF.

THE MURFREESBORO ACADEMY, Last August the Southwestern Baptist University assumed control of old Union University building and grounds for the purpose of establishing and running an academy of the same character and grades with the University Academy operating at Jackson, Tenn. Before the completion of this arrangement, which occurred during the last days of August, people generally had made their Arrangements for placing their boys elsewhere at sehool. Still the year has been quite satisfactory. Sixty-one boys and girls have received instruction in this academy this year.

Prof. R. A. Kimbrough was placed there as Principal during the fall term, but through the solicitation of the Shelbyville Church; was allowed to discontinue his connection with the Academy at the close of the fall term. Prof.

F. M. Patton went from the principalship of the University Academy at Jackson to take charge of the Murfreesboro Prof. Patton, whose portrait appears in this edition of the BAPTIST AND REFLECTOR, is a Middle Tennessean by birth. He was born in Wilson County, July 7, 1872.
