CITY CROWDING.
It is an Important Factor in the Pres.
emit Growth Of Crime.

From the Century Magazine.
The modern crowding of the population
into cities is a factor OF the first import.
ance. Enthusiasts extravagantly praise the
virtues of country populations. and as ex.
travagantly disparage the moral condition
Of cities. This excites contradiction and In
the controversy the fact is overlooked that
the profound changes. some beneficial and
others pernicious. have been and are being
silently wrought by the aggregation into
cities OF so large a part OF the population.
We are entering upon the third generation
Of hotbed city life. The offspring Of those
whose occupations are sedentary, who use
stimulants lead irregular and excited lives,
must, with few exceptions. suffer from ins
herited irritability Of the nervous system,
An abnormal strength and eccentricity Of
impulse must be the result and this is fos.
tered by city life.
A lamentable change has passed over the
country with regard to the learning Of
trades. Most temperaments require manual
labor In the earlier years of active life and
much exercise at all periods. Labor unions
determine the number of apprentices which
may be taken and this number is 30 small
that 1t is impossible for the large majority
Of growing boys to secure either the knowl.
edge of trades or the physical and mental
benefits of steady employment. Counting
rooms and shops are crowded with appli.
cants for every vacant place while thou
sands are left to roam the streets, having
neither trade. profession nor knowledge OF
business.
The struggle for success in society,
finance. politics, literature. applied science
and art grows more fierce as the cities grow
larger; the prosperous have often paid too
dear for the WHISTLE those who fail are, ac-
cording to temperament. Respondent or des-
perate. and the consequence is a steady pro-
cesSion to the sanatorium or the prison. And
the numbe' Of neurotic. romantic, pampered
youth of 9TH sexes is incompatible. IL
the coun often underestimates. the city
often overestimates: and the prematurely
blase youth is in an abnormal condition
which feeds upon itself. Under such cir
cumstances the very qualities which made
a good man may make his son a curse to
the community.

The report of the treasurer was read by
DR.. Frank w. Wright, the treasurer of ths
association. 1t showed the association to
be in excellent condition financially, and
gave a full statement of the receipts and
expenditures for the past year. An audit
ing committee was appointed to go over the
accounts.
Gen. George NJ. Sternberg then announced
that ex-senator and Mrs. John Il. Hender-
son would receive the members of the aSso-
citation and their ladies at their residence
on 18th street extended tonight. Gen.
Sternberg urged the members to attend the
reception. which will begin at $50 o'clock.
The Teaching of Hygiene.
The report of the committee on the teach
ing of hygiene, and the granting of a d.
ploma of degree of doctor of public health,
was read by the secretary, DR.. Charles o.
Prabst of Ohio. The report was prepared
by DIR. Benjamin Lee, secretary of the
state board of health of Pennsylvania, and
was on the program for yesterday morning
but owing to the early adjournment was
not reached before the members of the as
ISOLATION left for a visit to the vaccine
farm, referred to in the published proceed
necessity of establishing chair of hygiene
in medical schools. and that the degree of
doctor of public health be granted. Tho
necessity was presented by the fact that
in the present condition of affairs unless a
student takes a postgraduate course he
connot expect to be we'll equipped for spa-
cial work in medicine. Several members Of
the association spoke of the desirability of
establishing a chair of hygiene in all In
situations of learning.
DR.. George NJ. Kober Of this city offered
a resolution providing that the United
States government be requested to enact
laws that will tend to compel the establish
ment of such chairs or fellowships. The
resolution was referred to the executive
committee.
Gen. Sternberg told Of the efforts that
have been made to establish chair Of hy-
giene at West Point and of the work that
has been done in this city.
The Canteen Question.
After the discussion DR.. Kober read his
paper on the canteen.
| DIR. Kobzc said. in part:
In order to appreciate the object of this
| report it should be stated that the so-called
| canteen system was introduced a tenn

Improper enlistment of persons under

THE INCLUDED BRIDEGROOM.
There Is Room for Instructions for
Him on How to Look Prop

A thoughtful young man of Wash
ingtOn was heard to decry the fact the
other day that while there is a deluge
of don'ts and dos for the bride to fol-
low-hOw to enter the church, how to
behave during the ceremony, what to
wear, and so on-the bridegroom must
shift for himself, says the Post of that
city.
There is absolutely. nothing to
guide man but his own awkward self,
and it isn't fair" he said. 'From the
time a girl is old enough to hear, she
understands the importance of having
things done properly at a wedding,
while the prospective groom is some
thing necessary to complete the pic
ture,," but secondary consideration,
and nothing short of inspiration can
get a man through a marriage cere-
mony gracefully.
"In order to impress the bride and
spectators that he, is enthusia site
about IT. he appears with a sort of
frozen grin on his face. that you ex-
peet tolmelt at any moment and run
down his collar. If he is too frightened
to respond in "a loud voice some of the
brides girl friends will whisper that
he was unwilling from the first
again, if he replies in, a loud, stern
voice another bunch in another direc-
ton Of theichurch will huddle together
and express how glad they are that
they are not marrying him, while the
attitude of many is that they are sign
ing away their life and all worth living
for. So think it about time" contin-
tued the thoughtful young man, chat

THE AMATEUR GARDENER.
An Illustrative Example of What He
Does Not Know About
Gardening.

One of the-recently married cou-
pies rented a house in the suburbs
and'started to housekeeping on their
own account, relates the Memphis
Scimitar.
They planted garden.
Recently the husband was looking
over the new vegetables as they were
bursting through the ground, and
with his wife was discussing the
appearance of the different plants
as they appeared above the ground
mostlof which were new to them.
They came to the row of beans
which were. just shooting their heads
into the air and marveled that the
seed should be thus thrust up. It
appeared to the husband that the or
der of their appearance was re-
versed. v.-a.4..-...
He pondered the matter over and,
after giving it due consideration,
decided that. it would be pity to
have the beans ruined through their
ignorance of the proper manner OF
coming through the ground.
To save them this catastrophe, he
pulled them all up, and reset them
with the seed underneath, where he
thought "a good seed should be.
