Here is his public statement; it's well worth . reading. "1 had been troubled with a hacking couch for about one year when I took down with a very severe attack of pneumonia. The doctor told my sister 1 had tuberculosis. I was confined to my bed for six weeks, was having' night sweats every night, pains in lungs, sleep very poor, didn't sleep hardly any for two or three weeks, and was very nervous. I didn't weigh more than ISO pounds. My sister heard of the merits of Nature's Creation and purchased a bottle for me. From the very first there was a remarkable change. The chills and fever disapF eared, night sweats became fewer and gained rapidly In weight. 1 continued with the medicine until all symptoms had left and the pains in lungs had entirely disappeared, i got the last bottle of medicine in September, 1911, and have not taken any medicine since. I am feeling fine now and weigh more than I ever did in my life. My weight is now 15? pounds. "I certainly feel grateful to Nature's Creation for what it has done for me and hope this statement will be the means of other sufferers taking Nature's Creation and regaining their health the same as in my case. .

Dwells on the Increase of Enrollment in High Schools

Chapters on "Roman Catholic Schools," "Typical Health-Teaching Agencies of the United States." and "Parent-Teacher Associations" are special features of the annual report of the United States Commissioner of Education, just Issued. In addition to these the report contains substantial chapters on the following subjects : General survey of the year; educational legislation during 1912; higher education; city-school By stems; rural education; recent movements In negro education; a review of agricultural education; progress in vocational education; library development; education in Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico ond other dependencies; Indian education, educational activities In Canada, Latin America, Great Brltian, Northern Europe, France and Switzerland, Germany, Southern Europe and Russia; together with a general view of conditions In Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Matters Discussed. In his introduction to the report the Commissioner discusses the wide discrepancy betwen the Increase in the number of children of school age and the actual enrollment; an apparent reduction In teachers' salaries during the year; the remarkable Increase in high schools and high-school enrollment throughout the country; the decrease In professional schools, due to the enforcement of higher standards; lack of preparation of teachers, which Dr. Claxton characterizes as "one of the greatest evils of our school systems; the shortness of the school term in the United States as compared with other civilized nav tlons ; and the abnormally large percentage of illiteracy in the rural districts. In noting signs of real advancement during the year. Dr. Claxton lays special emphasis upon the growing realization of the unity, of all educational effort. that the latter is contemplating purchasing.

THE PLAIN OF MARATHON. Modern Aspect of the Famous Old Greek Battlefield. Greece, though sparsely Inhabited, is In the main a Yery cheerful looking country. The loneliness of much of It is not depressing, the bareness of much of It is not sad. I began to understand this on the day when I went to the plain of Marathon., which fortunately lies away from railroads. One must go there by carriage or motor or on horseback. The road Is bad both for beasts and machinery, but It passes through country which Is typical of Greece and through which It would be foolish to go In haste. Go quietly to Marathon, spend two hours there, or more, and when you return in the evening to Athens you will have tasted a new Joy. You will have lived for a little while In an exquisite pastoral a pastoral through which, it is true, no pipes of Pan have fluted to you; I beard little music in Greece but which has been full of that lightness, brightness, simplicity and delicacy peculiar to Greece. The soil of the land Is light, and, I believe, though Hellenes have told me that in this I am wrong, that the heart of the people is light. Certainly the heart of one traveler was as he made bis way to Marathon along a white road thickly powdered with dust Robert Hichens in Century Magazine. r MILTON i MILTON. Ind., July 5.

Vocational education occupies a prominent place in several chapters of the report. The progress of the year, the clash of opinions that has developed over certain phases of Industrial training, new vocational experiments in many cities and states, new legislation on the subject these and other matters are impartially recorded. Current criticism of the public school is summarized and discussed in the report, and the point is made tbat most of this criticism is bearing fruit in actual constructive programs, several of which are given. School inquiries are considered pro and con, particularly in the chapter on city school systems. Agricultural education and the rural advance are treated interestingly and in detail in several important chapters. The foreign field Is covered with unusual comprehensiveness and breadth of view. The chapter on higher education contains interesting discussions of the attempt to combine higher institutions in some of the states, "standard colleges and junior colleges," training for journalism and other live issues of the universities, colleges and professional schools. Treats Many Subjects. These represent but a few of the subjects treated in the 700 pages of the first volume of the commissioner's annual report.

Special efforts have been made to have the material concise and readable as well as accurate. It is also carefully indexed. Both -volume one and volume two (statistics) are available for free distribution. For those who do not need the large volumes, reprints of the separate chapters are available.
