cai Inspector says is not truth, we
easp.
How, in the Tery nature of thicgH. could &Ir. See Dwlgbt Balier know so much more dbout medicine than Dr. Julien Dean? Can he be a wizard as well as a competent train dispatcher? D)d he ever liag an adenoid or shunt an enlarged tonsil on a siding V Would he know either if be met them in a collision full head on?
Why, then, so dogmatic a declara¬ tion by Mr. See Dwight Baker?
W« leare him and tbe Board of Bducation to stew in their own Juice, doubly confident tbat Truth ultimate¬ ly will «Ter prerall.

THE TRUTH
The truth ultimately -will erer pre¬ vail. It cannot forever be obecured by private Individuals, or public offl- oeru, not even If theee are members of a Board ot Education.
Boards of Kducallon are theoreti¬ cally near and deer to the people, however much the theory may ap¬ pear strained in actual experience. They are pretty nearly alike In all the villages of the State from Mon- tauk to Erie. They Hpring from the very boeom of the People, as It were, and they reflect markedly the views, prejudlceB. likes and even the voca¬ tions of the mass. Hence we find them everywhere engaged in the gainful pursuits of the doctor, the lawyer, the barber, the butcher, the baker, the artisan, indeed, of every sort, even the occasional undertaker, good citizens all of them who build up, tear down, modify. Improve the methods ot teaching the young Idea how to shoot, according to their aev¬ eral lights.
It is unusual, perhaps, for a Board of Education to have the truth thrust before them that 48 per cent of the school children whom they are per-1 eonally conducting along the hlgh-| ways of knowlcdKP are defective phy¬ sically through their parents' neglect. But thlH has happened In this en¬ lightened village of Freeport. The statistics are in the posscs.sion of our Board of Edui^atlon. They were pre¬ pared by the Board's own Medical In¬ spector, they are provable by th© records, they are the truth, and no amount of dulbblint; or misrepreseu. tation will ob.ocure that fact.
School children everywhere ar. more or less aflUctcd with adenoids, enlarged tonsils, d< fective eyesight, defective teeth, defective hearing and anemia, and they are stoop shoul¬ dered and flat chested. The school children of Freeport havo eycaped none of these ailments of childhood and youth. The Board of EduwiiloUj, knows this belter even than the parents. Some of the parents know it now. More of them should know it and if the Board does not see flt to inform them und advi.se thom as to the best methods ot relict, tlicu 11 be<;ome8 the duty of a frierd'of the children and their p;irent.s to acquaint them of conditions, and this The Na.ssau Po.st has sought to do.
Now, what are you going to do about it? Aro you going to try the remedies proposed hy the Medical In¬ spector and printed hy Tho Poat, or are you going along unconcernedly, accepting without question the asser¬ tion of some clown tluit the Post has not presented the truth?
t-'oiri' lu'oiilo In ti-is world appa¬ rently do not like tlio trulli in allo¬ pathic doKos. Some other people will deny the truth In public anil give it a cordial hiindiihnke iu piivnle. The truth diic'-n't phns-o a whole lot of people at all, even in Froeport. Of thi.-? lutter claFS would appear to he a pent in very high standing, our e.iteomod fellow citizen, Mr. See Dwight Baker.
Mr. Baker, as you know, is a com¬ petent railroad man, who has »lsen, ns wo understand It,, through the sev¬ eral grades cf ."soctlon hand, switch¬ man, trunk tosser and depot agent tq the very rcsponsihle position of train dispatcher. In good season his abili¬ ties, let ua hope, will win the atten¬ tion of some English railroad In dis¬ tress and he, too, like Thornton, may be translated. Or better still, he maj succeed Peters and transform the oil Long Island system from a to» railroad into a real railroad proposi¬ tion. What Mr. See Dwight Baker says about a railroad goes. But when be stands up in public and says that vbjLt tha Board of Education's Medi-
ed the search light of feanlne criU- cism or by Bome rascal, who deprav¬ ed mentality oould suggest no other employment?
All falrminded people will look up¬ on this aot as low down and mean, worthy of only the meanest scape¬ goat

Greatest
Store
A Month of Amazing Sales
in the
Store Accommodating
To celebrate a half century of public satisfaction giving, we will announce on Sun¬ day, January 31st, the beginning of a month of amazing sales, cele¬ brating in thoroughly character¬ istic Abraham & Straus manner, the anniversary of the founding of the store and fifty years of public satisfaction giving.
18G5
There are many ways in which this great Golden Anniversary which represents so much of the business history of Brooklyn, could be celebrated. But we believe the most appropriate way and one most satis¬ factory to the public is by a demonstration to a superlative degree of those two features: accommodations and public services, .that have been so appreciated and upon which this Greatest Brooklyn store was built. While the extraordinary value giving will continue over a month, each day v/ill have its partic¬ ular value and each particu¬ lar deparment in our busi¬ ness w^ill have its day, so that no day's announcement should be missed.
