From the settlement of America by the Spanish, the babbling brooks, up to and including- the broad water highways of Nations, have been used for the disposal of sewage and this without restraint, until a few years ago when the work began under the law of 1905 to change this condition, which has resulted in reducing typhoid fever 74 per as well as lessening the suffering and sorrow of thousands of human beings. The time consumed in cleansing thes treams is not for the want of sufficient legislations that is ample. The progress has been impeded by the fact that homes and industries have grown since' our first civilization very, much as Topsy did, without any thought of the tomorrow.

Having this enormity of insanitary conditions to meet, with so many lives depending upon the products of the offending producers, much financing and time must be used, to- eliminate- the death dealing condition. The sewage from individual sources has largely been removed from our streams and our industries have removed their wastes gradually and continually.

Snyder, No. 442 Allen Street, dived from the railing of the Hamilton Street bridge into the Lehigh canal yesterday morning a'.

13. 16, 19, 21, '23 SUBSCRIBE FOR THE. Novel Scheme Adopted By Superintendent of Scjtfi Bethlehem Schools With the occupancy of the magnificent new $285,000 High building within the next few weeks a new era in things educational will be inaugurated at South Bethlehem. There have heen originated in recent years in the fertile minds of educa'tors many schemes calculated to modernize education, eseci'ally in high schools, but remained for A'bner H. Buck, of the South Bethlehem schools, to bring forth an original idea, which has especially appealing aspects to industrial communities.

Mr. Buck is a native of Catasauqua and a former principal of the schools of that place. Briefly, this scheme is to pay the boys, who-have a bent for mechanics apprentices' wages while they go to high The real idea, however, is to solve the problem of why hoys leave school and go to work before high school is reached, and before they hare acquired a sufficient education. This problem Superintendent Buck has solved, with the aid of the Bethlehem Steel Company and other local industrial concerns. The alluring prospect of earning money has been the main reason for so many boys going to work before their high school education has ibeen comleted.

Under Mr. Buck's scheme these lads in continuing at high school will be jus't the same as though they had left school and gone to work, but with the added feature of acquiring an advanced education at 'the same time. The scheme calls for the boys to spend part of their time in the work shop and tart in the classroom. Iln an interview regarding his new scheme, Superintendent Buck says: "The school authorities here have1 been confron'ted with the same that affect other muhiciralities, but in a more exaggerated form. An industrial community pure and wi'th a large cosmopolitan population, causes a large number of pupils each year to drop out of school at the close of the sixth year, and a bare 10 per cent, ot those who enter school at the age of 6 are from the high school at the end of the twelfth year.

By the time the eighth grade is reached the majority of boys and girls can see nothing Of value for them in the various courses offered 'by the high school, which has always maintained a high standard, offering general college preparatory, commercial and normal courses. What to do to hold the boys and girls in school has been, the "For the girls, the Board of Education purposes establishing a complete domestic science and household arts course. This is not an original scheme, however. "For the boys, the problem was more complex. The so-called manual training departments of the majority of high schools do not fit the boys for any trade or vocation.

The most that the boys get is a smattering of woodworking, metal-working, which gives them a certain skill in the use of tools, 'but no trade. school authorities have decided to add an industrial course of four years, something absolutely new, to the courses already in the high school. This will be a co-oerativo course, the schools co-opera'ting with the various local industries, such as the Bethlehem Steel Company, the Bethle hem Foundry and Machine Company, etc. The course means part time in the shops' and part time in the school. In the academic part of the course will be given four years of English, shop physics, chemistry, 'mechanical drawing, the making and reading of blue prints, study of the machines and processes at which the pupils are employed while in the shops and the choice of a modern language, history, etc.

"While in the shops the boys will be under the shop foreman and work under shop conditions. Ry this course the pupils will not receive a smattering knowledge of a few things, but will have their choice of the machins shops, pattern shop, foundry, forge, pipe fitting, electrical work; in short, everything that a vast industrial concern, such as the Bethlehem Steel Works can give. "At the end of the course the boys wili be finished mechanics, with not only the hands trained, but the head and heart also. The industries will get a higher grade of artisans, the community more intelligent citizens, and young men will be graduated with higher ideals and a broader outlook on life. The young men will be paid apprentice wages while ipursuing this course."
