Merchant Denounces
Rate Increase Plan

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The railroads.
particularly the eastern lines that
have been threatening an arbitrary
increase in freight rates for several
months, were given severe drubbing
last night by Ohio c. Barber. president
OF the Diamond Match company,
speaking at the annual banquet or
the Illinois Manufacturers association
at the Congress hotel.
Highway robbers" was one Of the
mild terms that Mr.. Barber applied
TO the railroads. He charged them
with trying TO humbug the people, wa
tering stock. absorbing all the profits
of business In the country, and hold
ing the states under their political
control. The interstate commerce
commission. Mr.. Barber declared, was
impotent to deal with the problem.
All this was said in the presence OF
and with particular application to w,
c. Brown, senior vice president OF the
New York Central lines, who has been
conducting a campaign among the
shippers In the matter OF the freight
rate increase.

AID OF SCHOOLS IN
FIGHT AGAINST
WHITE PLAGUE
CHILDREN ARE GIVEN iNSTRUC-
TION IN HOW TO PREVENT
TUBERCULOSIS IN SCHOOLS IN
THE OPEN AIR.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-As result or
culosis now being carried on through
out the world, many OF the public
schools In the United States are taking
q new departure in teaching TO the
children the nature. causes, dangers
and prevention OF consumption. A
text book entitled Simple Lessons on
tuberculosis, or Consumption" has just
been placed In the seventh and eighth
grades OF the District OF Columbia.
The Massachusetts, educational author
tiles, acting under a law of the legisla-
ture Of 1908, are establishing courses
of instruction on tuberculosis In all
OF the schools Of the state. In addi'
ton to these public movements many
OF the private organizations throughout
the country have established, and are
establishing. open-air schools Tor con-
sumptive children. 1t being estimated
that about per cent OF the pupils In
the larger city schools have tuoer-
culosis.
The first public school for consump
tive and pre-consumptive children 10
be established In the United States
was opened In Providence. X. l., last
January. The sessions were held en-
tirely In the open, and the Dement'S OF
the fresh-air treatment were combined
with the teaching and training OF the
public schools.
This experiment led to other move
ments, both public and private. The
Brookline Anti-Tuberculosis society
opened a school for tuberculosis chill
dren In July which Is still successfully
conducted. In Boston q school for
consumptives was operated under pri-
yate auspices In July, 1t being the In
tention TO keep 1t open for the sum
mer months only. but so successlui
were the results OF this work that the
city school authorities recently decid-
ed TO take over the work and set aside
a permanent building for this pur
pose.
In Pittsburg a similar school was
opened In September. and the marked
benefits which the children have al
ready received from this training have
led TO it's enlargement. The board OF
education OF New York city has just
granted teacher TO the Bellevue
hospital day camp for the purpose OF
conducting a school there, and con
sumptive teacher has been secured to
teach the consumptive children. This
school will be conducted on the deck
OF an old ferryboat. In all OF these
schools the children are kept In the
open air all day long. Most Of the
buildings used are opened on three
sides and are so constructed as to fur
nish unlimited supplies OF fresh air
without draughts. Desks, blackboards
and other paraphernalia are provided
In these schools just the same as In
the regular institutions The children
study and recite in the open air even
during the coolest weather. and the
percentage OF colds among them Is far
smaller than children in the ordinary
public schools. In most OF these fresh
air schools soapstones are provided for
keeping the feet warm i'm cold weather
