More than 6,000 900 infants under two
years of age must succumb during the
next census period and the mothers
powerless to resist. Yet it is probable
that this number could be cut in two.
"In the United States alone the 80,-
000,O 900 living today all must die, after
having lived say a, little more than g.
200, 900, 900 years of life, on the average
slightly more than two score years. OF
these years. 1.600,000,000 years repre-
Sents the unproductive years of child
hood and training.
Consider that the burden of the un-
productive years on the productive
years is 20; 20 or say 100 per cent Could
the average length of life be increased
to sixty years. say to 100000 ,000, 900 years
lived by S0,000,0 900 of people, the burden
of the unproductiVe years would fall to
so per cent. In the judgment of men
competent to hold opinions, this is not
impossible.
1.-THE national government expends
annually seven millions on plant health
and animal health through the departs
ment of agriculture, but not one cent
is expended directly on the health of
infants, save for the splendid work of
Drs. Wiley, Atwater, Benedict, etc.
Thousands have been expended in
stamping out cholera among swine, but
not one cent has been appropriated for
eraulcatlng pneumonia among human
beings. Thousands have been spent in
saving the lives of elm trees from
beetles in warning farmers against
blights affecting potato plants, in i'm
porting Sicilian bugs to fertilize fig
blossoms in California, in ostracising
various species of weeds from the ranks
of the useful plants, and in exterminat-
ing the parasitic growths that prey on
fruit trees. The department of agricul-
ture has expended during the last ten
years over $46, 100000.
"The states rights doctrine can be
applied against the department of agri-
culture as effectively as against a ma
tional department of health. 1t is not
then a question of constitutionality but
rather of whether such department is
needed by the nation"

REMARKABLE PAPER READ BY
J. PEASE NORTON
Yale Professor Says Government
Spends Millions for Plant and
Animal Health, but Not One
Cent to Save Infants
By Associated Press.


ITHACA, N. Y, June 29.-In paper
read before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science today
on the Economic Advisability of a
National Department of Health" j.
Pease Norton, assistant professor of
economies, Yale university, said:
THE salvation of the civilization and
the race lies in the hands of exceptional
men, The hope of the race inheres in
their efficient organization for action.
Organization consists in compelling
voluntarily or involuntarily each indi-
vidual to do that thing within his
capabllitity which has greatest value
for society. To do otherwise is great
waste. To permit great wastes to go
unchecked is more than suicidal
policy; for an evil more heinous than
race suicide is race homicide.
There are four great wastes today,
the more lamentable because they are
unnecessary. They are preventable
death. preventable sickness, prevent
able conditions of low physical and
mental efficiency and preventable ig-
norance The magnitude of these
wastes are testified to by experts COM
petent to judge. They play their part
in a cruel devastating destruction that
Millions Constantly Sick
1.-THE facts are cold and bare. One
million and half persons must die in

persons will be constantly sick. over
5000, 900 homes consisting of 25,0O0,000 Of
persons will be made more or less
wretched by mortality and morbidity
1--WE look in horror on the black
plague of the middle ages. The black
waste was a passing cloud compared
with the white waste visitation. or
the people living today over S,O00000

is raised by the federal government to
help them. over 100000 must die OF
diseases of the heart, and not wheel
of the official machinery is set In mo-
ton at Washington for their allevia-
ton or cure. Eight millions must die
of pneumonia and the entire event Is
accepted by the American population
with as resigned mien as the Htndus
show, who In the midst Of indescribable
filth, await the day of the cholera.

EDUCATORS CLASH
OVER TEXTBOOKS
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
BERKELEY, June 29-Disruption
threatened the state board of education
at its second days session in Califor-
mia hall this morning when Thomas j
Kirk, state superintendent and mem-
ber OF the state text book committee,
vehemently objected to the board as a
whole taking the initiative in regard TO
the purchase and supply of state books.
He said that the action taken by the
board the day previous, when it was
declared to be the sense of the members
that the selection of new text books, as
recommended by the text book COM
mittee should first be approved by the
board as whole, instead of allowing a
committee TO make all the necessary
arrangements, was practically a usur-
patton OF the power that belonged to
the text book committee.
Mr. Kirk said that the law allowed
the text book committee to proceed
without hindrance from the board.
The matter was finally referred to the
state attorney general.
