The impression Is strong throughout
the country that there has been great
acknowledgement in the medical depart
ment of the army. Or. Sternberg, the
Surgeon General OF the Army. feeling
probably that there was some ground for
the criticisms Of the department Of which
he has control. has written q defense OF it.
He claims that when the war began the
department was short handed, and that
a great deal of dependence has had to be
placed on contract doctors. IN fact he
admits that the department was deficient
in many things which were absolutely nee
essary for the successful operation Of it.
The surgeon generals explanation, how
ever, IS by no means satisfactory. If the
accounts which have appeared in the pub
lie prints are true, and there does not
seem TO be any good reason TO doubt
them, there has been a lack of medicines.
food supplies suitable for invalids, and of
doctors and nurses ever since they were
first needed, and there is a lack of them
now The situation at Santiago has been
greatly improved and the ships transport
ing invalids from Cuba are better sup
piled with such things as the sick need.
but what is the situation in the camps
in this country? Is il not a fact that
until within the last day or two there
were absolutely no facilities in at least
one Of the camps, for caring for the sick?
What was the state of affairs at Miami?
Nobody has ever given a satisfactory rea-
son why a camp was established there. 1T
is a good winter resort, but it has never
thought to be a particularly desirable
place in which to spend the summer. OF
the 1900 or more troops sent there 1850
were sick on July q. At one time there
were as many as 45O on the sick list of
the Second Texas Regiment. Some of
those who were assisting in nursing the
sick say that there was a great lack of
almost everything needed for the treat
ment of invalids. There were many ty-
phoid fever patients and the death rate
among them was large and why? Main
ly because the proper kind Of food was
not provided for those suffering from that
disease. Mix was necessary for the ty-
phoid fever patients, but the government
made no effort to provide It, The condi-
ions were plllIui, ana the IIleHuS Oh tHCS6
who suffered there are angry because the
medical department of the army could
have made the situation there better, and
did not.
And how about the sick at Fernandina?
There are many sick soldiers there. Has
the medical department proved equal to
the demands upon 1t there? There has
been an improvement since Saturday, but
before that day, men suffering from
typhoid or any other fever had no other
bed than the ground, and no milk, which
is so necessary for typhoid fever patients
and no food supplies suitable for fever
sufferers.
We do not undertake to say whether or
not lives were sacrificed by the neglect
of the medical department of the army
Every one can draw his own conclusion
from the facts. Surgeon General Stern
berg can explain and explain but he will
never satisfy the American people that
his department has been anywhere near
equal to the demands upon it.

Teach the Hand as Wen as the Head.

Teach the Hand as Well as the Head.
State School Commissioner Glenn is in
favor of teaching the hand in the public
schools, as well as the head He wants
manual as well as mental training. I'm
der existing circumstances when the av-
erage pupil comes out of the public
schools, if he Tor she) cannot secure en-
poyment at clerking, teaching or some
similar business, there is no alternative
but to start afresh in some new school of
experience in which trade or profession
can be learned. 1t almost always
occurs that when a youth applies
for employment he is asked,
What do you know how to do?"
and his answer is more than apt to be,
Nothing; 1 am just out of school"
What the youth has learned at school is
of no practical value 10 him at that mo-
ment. He is not wanted because while
his head has been taught, his hands are
ignorant, and it will be necessary for
them to so to school for greater or less
length of time before they can be of value
to an employer.
Commissioner Glenn thinks the hands
should be taught skin while the head is
being taught the three RS" and those
things which follow. Let the pupil build
something as well as recite something
during school hours. Instead of keeping
him buckled down TO books for six or
eight hours a day give him an intermis-
sion of an hour, or two hours of work
Ing with tools. Most children are natural
and enthusiastic builders. The idea of
making something is fascinating TO them.
An hour or two of manual exercise each
school day would prove restful to the
young mind and invigorate it for the task
in mental exercise, and the practical
knowledge thus acquired would al least
lay the foundation for future bread Win
ming. In Switzerland and Germany.
where manual training in the schools is a
prominent feature of the educational sys-
TENS the pupil Is competent to earn liv-
ing as soon as he leaves the schoolroom.
The boys become mechanics and build
ers and the like, while the girls are able
to turn their hands at lace making and a
hundred other money winning occupa-
tons.
Georgia has immense wealth in raw ma
terials. Skilled workers are wanted to
utilize them. We have the raw material
here from which to make the skilled
workers and the schools should be the
factories to turn them out. One central
technical school is not sufficient for our
needs. Each public school should be a
minor technical school in itself, as well as
a feeder for the larger and more preten-
tious chronological institutions. Such is
Mr.. G-enn's opinion and It is worth care
ful conside ration.

plans of the American battle ships now

gress. The original plans caE for a dis
placement of II 500 tons and speed of Is

demonstrated the necessity for a higher
rate of speed than these specifications call
for and il has been decided to build ships
of 1890 tons displacement and Is knots
To do this the original cost authorized by
Congress must he exceeded, but the board
has wisely determined to revise the plans
and let Congress radfy them later

An Egg That Holds Two Gallons.

One OF the most interesting specimens

as a cast Of an egg of most gigantic size,
which was found in a guiana bed on the
island Of Madagascar about % years ago.
The shell of this egg will hold almost ex-
actly two gallons of liquid, which would
make its capacity equal to las average
sized eggs laid by the common barnyard
fowl. The bird which laid this mammoth
egg Is now extinct and has been for prob
ably 200 years. To the scientist--who
knows IL by its bones and eggs-it Is
known as the epiornis, and its restored
skeletons prove it TO have been bird at

the epiornis was still living, are believed
to have brought back the stories concern
