Impure Air and Disease.

DIR. j. Ward, health officer of an Eng
lish sanitary district of considerable ex-
tent and population, has given the SAINT
fary Record an account Of large num-
Der of instances which have come under
his Immediate observation in which i'm
pure air, arising either from defective
ventilation or noxious surroundings, has
appeared to be directly associated with
diseases of the lungs or other organs.
OF eight fatal cases of pneumonia OCCUR
ring within year among children and
persons in middle life, In all but one the
air was defiled by some neighboring
source of filth. In about ninety fatal
case OF diseases of the respiratory or
gans, other than pulmonary consump-
ton, most of which are accute or SUBJ
accute, undoubted defects of ventilation
existed. In some cases there was no
fireplace or air exit in the room; In
some such opening, where 1t had ex-
isted, had been closed tight; In some
the bed, with many in It, was in close
corner; in others the air was defiled by
some neighboring household or farm nuf-
sance. Similar defects were observed
in nearly all Of thirty cases OF disorders
of the lungs following whooping cough
in sixteen of which last, {" filth inhu-
ence from Immediately contagious byre,
pig-styes, stables, water-closet, or sew
er, was noticed" The sanitary invcsti-
cation of the interior and surroundings
of houses where inflammatory affections
of the brain have occurred has forced
upon DIR. Ward the conclusion that dis
eases of this class are also frequently,
and, it may be inferred, causatively, as
ISOLATED with similar insanitary condi-
tons. In twenty-eig fatal cases of
this nature, seventeen cases of tubercu-
lar meningitis, and twenty-five cases Of
commissions in children 1.-The air was eth
er confined or polluted. DIR. Ward
draws from these observations the obvi-
GUS lesson that It should be the aim of
sanitary administration to secure for
each habitable room, especially in the
crowded cottages Of the poorer classes,
some suitable provision for q constant
change of air. Particularly should care
be taken In fixing the position OF the
bed so that IL shall not be In o corner
remote from the influence of the door.
window, and fireplace, but should be
near some opening through which
constant circulation may be relied upon.
In transforming old houses, the provi-
sion of fresh air, now neglected and too
often prevented i'm the arrangement OF
partitions, should be carefully looked
after-else the sanitary condition Of the
house may be made worse than il was
before.

useful and practical, were they less
pretentious. A boy cannot be made
a man simply by dressing him up in
mems clothing. An institution OF
learning cannot be a college, and be
successfully managed as such, unless
it has faculty to teach the college
curriculum. Such faculty costs
money. It would be far better for
us. if we could have more high
schools and academies we'll support

as they would be, colleges and uni-

WHAT WE NEED.

In a recent editorial in the educa.
tional column Of the Rogersville
Spectator, written, we believe, BY
one of the most efficient and success
full educators in the State, Rev. A.
w. Wilson, we find the following:
In the higher departments of edu-
cation, Tennessee is now taking fair
rank. In number of communities
good schools are already established.
The great trouble with most of these
institutions is the desile to take the
name and course of study of COLI
leges. We need several well~graded
high schools in every county, but we
need but few colleges. This ten
dency is burden to many schools.
To have the college curriculum
taught requires more teachers than
the income of the school will sup
port, and the result is, many schools
drag out a weary existence under
the name of college, which would
flourish and prove blessing if their
managers were willing for them to
be simply high schools or academies.
We have long felt the truth OF
what is here stated. There are too
many educational institutions in
the State, struggling under ths
name of colleges, which might

WHO FURNISHES THE MONEY:

The Nashville American wants to
know who furnishes the money to
the little knot of "low-taxers, repu-
diationists is better, who find that
their occupation is gone and who
seek to keep themselves before the
public by an attempt to enloin the
State authorities from carrying out
the State debt settlement. OF course
such proceeding costs money. Law
yers are not likely to undertake so
dirty job without good fees, and
when they work for men whose
business is to repudiate debts, they
want their pay in advance, or at
least we'll secured. Who furnishes
the moneys Why, the spectators,
of course. That class of men who
are willing to make money by pros
tituting their own State. 1t is a
dirty business. The man who would
engage in a deliberate attempt to
rob his State of her good name
would, in our opinion, sell the virtue
of his nearest female relative for a
stipulated price. We blush when
we think of Tennesseeans engaging
in any such disgraceful scheme.
There may be ignorant men VITO go
into such thing without knowledge
of it's true meaning, but such are
only playing into the hands of the
most INSCRIPTIONS money>sharks in
the land. Let all honest, intelli-
gent men frown down such an I'M
dertaking.

THE leading Democratic newspa-
per of the South, the Courier
Journal, has this to say about
Tennessee politics "The Demo-
Gratis of Tennessee are determined
to settle this vexed debt question at
any cost. It has disturbed business
long enough. A few maleontents,
or many, may rally about Marks and
Wilson and Savage, and attack the
recent settlement. If that opposi-
ton gains any Roadway, there are
fifty thousand Democrats who will
go over, bag and baggage, to the Re
publican party. 1t is toward just
such a decision affairs are drifting
in Tennessee, and it is very much
more likely the solid South will be
divided because Tennessee Republi>
cans have maintained public honor,
than than that it will be divided be-
cause Republican Senators gave
their aid to those who assailed it in

YESTERDAY morning we commune
Gated to our readers the gratifying fact
that We are to have large railway
car mandatory in Knoxville at an
early day. We understand this was
procured after a quiet effort on the
part of few of our citizens, who
took pains to show the advantages
in favor of the location of such an
enterprise in Knoxville. But for
this effort the probability is that the
enterprise would have gone else
where. This shows the Importance
of our people paying attention to
such matters. The fact that Knox
vile is sure to become an important
railway center at an early day will
attract the attention of capitalists,
and other gentlemen will be here to
invest their money. AS we remarked
few days ago, now is the time for
Knoxville to exert herself in this
direction. Let us show ourselves
alive to our own interest, and there

vest their capital among us that We
