SOME PROPOSED SCHOOL REGU
LATIONS.

Dr. Karsner of the Philadelphia
Board of Health has started a campaign
that will, in the main, have the cordial
support and sympathy Of pupils in
schools and their parents, whether
Boards Of Education and teachers like
Il or not. He insists upon individual
drinking cups for the pupils. That is
all right; very manly cleanly people
insist upon a similar regulation in their
homes. Next he wants growing
plants banislaed from schoolrooms. That
Is all right, too. AS a rule, plants in a
room occupied for many hours are a
menace to health.
Then he would have all pens, pencils
and desk implements used by pupils
frequently sterilized. That. also. is good
sense Pupils viii place desk tools in
or about their mouths and thus germs
Of disease are Transmitted beyond all
question. He would have the cloak
rooms, hat rooms and inches and the
clothing hung therein frequently fumi-
gated. and insists that such rooms
must be thoroughly ventilated. This, also,
seems TO be reasonable. The cost will
be very light, and the probable benefits
great. A musty closet is an offense.
He would have all these rooms so en-
larged that the cloak and hat of each
pupil Will hang free from contact with
the clothing of any one else, and the
circulation through these cloakrooms,
closets or inches he would have main
tained at the rate OF twenty-one cubic
inches OF air per pupil, and a complete
change Of air made eight times an hour
This need cost very little. Automatic
ventilation Will accomplish 1t, and as
suredly this fresh air bath OF eloseted
clothing must do good.
We believe all these recommendations
of this Philadelphia sanitarian are
fortified by good sense. He declares
that they are supported by experience
and by demonstration Of their wisdom.
OF course, if he has absolute proofs by
scientific investigation mag these regu-
Iations are essential to child health,
vigor and safety from transmissible dis
case. that settles it. There is nothing
more to be said about it. except to Sc
cure the adoption Of these measures in
all schools.
There is one thing about it to which
the doctor makes reference that strikes
us with much force. The institution
Of such regulations and their strict en-
forcenent would develop in school
children a habit of cleanliness
and regard for good health. The
system would instruct the chill
dren in much Of sanitary science
and the reasons behind the regulations.
In consequence, sanitary reform would

The Los Angeles Express says that
a newspaper has a higher duty to the
public which it serves than to sell pa
pers, regardless of facts and the char
acter Of the methods employed. That
is very true, and this public has dis
covered it within the last few days. af-
ter being swindled out of nickels in
buying papers that pretended to give
news that was no news. Appetized
for the coming of the papers, one of
these journals has kept bulletin boards
blazing with statements of a startling
character, wholly unreliable and largely
false. Thus the public is induced to
buy when the full sheet appears, and
is invariably disappointed and votes
Itself sold" But to return to the
Express It says:
It has no right to willfully misIead
and deceive the public for it's own profit,
especially in times like the present. II
is legitimate and often necessary to
print rumors, but they should be given
as such and verified, or discredited as
the situation may seem to warrant.
Yesterday, for instance, it was reported
that a percussion hole had been dis
covered in one of the Names armor
plates. The Express" printed the re-
port, but was careful to accompany 1t
with the statement that its truth was
IN doubt. The Associated Press was
very precise in making this point clear,
and exhausted every energy in getting
at the facts for the benefit of the pub
lie.
But the fal1ir newspapers do not have
such consciences as the Express. .
They act regardless Of the truth of a
story The simple questions with them
are: ''Will it read we'll? Will it make
the blood pulse quicker? VIII it graf
itfy a morbid taste? Win it bring in a
nickel?" The Los Angeles Times"
puts it well when it says:
1t is little less than criminal for a
newspaper to give publicity to wild
and improbable rumors at a time
when the public mind is at a tension
by reason Of a grave emergency 1t
Is bad enough TO pursue such tactics
at any time, but it is doubly repre-
hensible in an emergency such as that
Of the past week The public Is en-
titled to facts, so far as they can be

gradually develop in homes where it is
now neglected. The children would
grow up with new ideas and enlarged
perceptions concerning health condi-
lions, and thus the whole people would
be bettered and American homes would
be improved, and preventable disease
be the more throttled.
We come now to another branch of
the proposed reforms namely, that af-
fecting the ehilds capacity for study.
The doctor holds that his Investigate lions
have proved that from six to eight years
healthy child can apply himself bene-
fcially to one subject but about fifteen
minutes. from eight to ten twenty min
utes, from ten to fourteen twenty-five
minutes, from fourteen to eighteen half
an hour. Adult age should confine itself
to one subject no more than one hour
at a time. Therefore study should be
interrupted at these periods; if not
done a strain sets up that is injurious
and really reduces capacity to learn
and retain. In the schoolroom this
change he would make by introducing
few moments of singing, or Of Gales
themes, or march about the room, OF
any other pleasant relaxation.
At noon he insists that the child
should have a fun meal. The afternoon
sessions of the school he would have
devoted to the least laborious work Of
the study course. and ne would not
permit an afternoon session TO extend
in any grade beyond two hours. All the
remaining time is needed by the child
for building up of it's physical being.
He protests in the most vigorous man
ner against staying after school,"
School should end absolutely with the
afternoon session. He holds that there
is no gain whatever by keeping the
pupil after school, and that there is
most frequently absolute injury to the
physical and mental being.
Here are matters that may be de-
batable. At least, while they all ap-
for difference of opinion. The results
of experience should largely guide US.
But that experience must have been
| observant in an especial degree in such
matters as these, and cover a period
sufficiently long and groups sufficient
ly numerous with notations of results
sufficiently accurate to enable the OBJ
server to form a positive judgment, just
as he would ascertain any other truth
by observation and record of symptoms,
| results, etc.
Here is a fruitful field for intelligent
and thoughtful debate and exchange of
views, and experience among teachers
and parents The Record Union"
would be pleased to lend its col
umns to teachers and parents for
succinct, crisp and clearly stated
expressions upon these subjects, which
it holds are of high Importance.
Some of the matters referred to by DR..
Karsner are already reforms accom-
plished in many departments, as, for
instance, regarding the length of the
afternoon session of schools. In Cali
fornia the afternoon period according
to grade is one and a half hours and
two hours. If in Philadelphia they have
longer sessions, the Quaker City is be-
hind the age.

A MINERAL LAND BILL.

On July >, 1897, Mr.. De Vries, Repre-
California, introduced a bill into the
House of Representatives entitled "An
Act to provide for the examination and
classification of certain lands in the
this bill are analogous to those found in
ali the bills relating to the classifica-
ton of mineral lands.
The Hon. Binger Hermann, Commits
sioner Of the General Land Office. has
examined the De Vries bill at the re-
quest of the Secretary of the Interior,
and in his letter returning the bill and
recommending its enactment, he says:
If this bill should be enacted there
would be approximately 1867 ,S02.29
acres OF unpatented land. in isolated
tracts, TO be examined and classified by
the four Boards OF Commissioners, and
upon giving the subject considerable
thought and by comparison with classi-
hcation in Montana and Idaho, 1 esti-
mate that the expense to the Govern
nent of such classification would be not
amount to about 81 ,095, 00S 1S.
The Commissioner then recommends
that the salaries of the examiners be re-
duced to 81 per day and that the whole
allowance to any one examiner not eX-
ceed $1,000 per annum. This viii make
a reduction in the expense, but it will
stin leave the cost Of the examination
in excess of a million of dollars.
There will be no opposition anywhere
to the passage of the bill, because it will
relieve the railroad companies of the
expense of examinations which has here
tofore been borne by them. The pretense
which has obtained from the very out
set that this bin was an anti-railroad
measure will give way before the better
information that will follow it's enact
ment; that the railroads have nothing
to lose but everything to gain by its
passage.
So far as relates to the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company, the bill was
really passed at the request of that
company, and the bill requiring the
classification Of mineral lands on the
Northern Pacific has been the basis of
all other legislation.
The bin introduced by De Vries was
practically the same introduced by Hon.
Grove l.. Johnson. The most that can
be said concerning it is that it substi-
tutes new methods for old. Being new.
they are as yet untried. But one salient
feature remains to be noted. It will
cost the Government something over
81 100000 to classify the mineral lands,
While under the present method that
cost is borne by the railroads interested
in the various grants
