IS PREVENTABLE DEATH A CRIME?
The General Effect of Sanitary Progress on
the Attitude Of the Individual.

The foregoing examples Of act

a large number of uncited exam

disease prevention to cpinion,
however, eminant, multiplied and

strong such reasoning may bs.
This basic principle of all public
health %endeavor, disease prevent
ability, rests upon what has act.
ually been accomplished.
Now, it follows that if disease
and death are preventable, those
having power to prevent them are
responsible for loss of life if this
power Is not used. Preveutable
disease is subject to public con-
troll, and preventable death is,
therefore, public crime.

The duty itself we may evade, but

At Chapel Hill last week the
superintendent of public schools
for the various counties of t b Q
State met in regular session.
Nearly every county was represent

of the university, welcomed the
body Of educators and spoke brief.
ly of the responsibility and i'm
portance of each county superin-
tendent Of schools.
The meeting then proceeded
With the program, which was a
most interesting one. Some of
the topics discussed were: Health
and Sanitation, Instruction in
Agriculture, Public High Schools,
Uniform examinations for Teach
ers. Teacher Training. Elemen-
tary Schools, and work of the
County Superintendent.
The session at which health and
sanltsion were discussed was ex-
c~eedingly interesting. DR.. W. S.
Rankin, secretary of North Caro-
lima Board of Health, discussed
health and sanitation. DR.. John
A. Fsrsll representing the Hook.
worm Commission Of the North
Carolina Board Of health, spoke
briefly of Investigations, which
show the widespread prevalence
of hookworm disease in North
Carolina. He explained shat III
theory the eradication of the dis.
ease a easy, but in practice a
great problem, the solution of
which depended upon educational
work. Many questions were ask-
ed and requests made that cases
be described as they usually are
before and after treatment. Prof.
Highsmith, of Wake Forest Col
lege, cited two or three interest
ing cases he had seen. Then Super
intent Thompson, of Onslow
county, spoke of the wonderful
improvements which had resulted
among hookworm victims in his
county since people had been
cule ed of the disease. He named
and described severl cases which
had come under his observation,
and the results effected by the
cure of the disase were wonderful.
Concluding his remarks he intro
duced the following resolutions.
Whereas we, the members of
the Association Of County Super
incidents of Schools, cf North
Carolina, are convinced of the
widespread of the prevalence of
the hookworm disease in the State.
and that the disease occasion ines
timable loss to the State in liv es,
vitality, citizenship and material
wealth; and, whereas the disease
is both preventable and durable,
Be 1t resolved that the associ-
alton hereby pledges the co-opera-
tion in all we'll organized move,
ments for the eradication of the
disease: and further realizing that
such a m )vement has already been
inaugurated, we recommend that
the State take such steps as may
be found necessary to aid in c
complishing the desired end.
The meeting adjourned Friday,
after a most successful and pleas
ant meeting.

Sixty Thousand People SeeAeroplaneFall
With Mayor Richardson and tombstone

one hand clutched firmly in his belt.
He had been warned to keep his hands
away from everything. Then at the
word from the aviator the mechanics
let go, and the aeroplane glided down
the rail and into the ether.
Excitement Intense.
With the forward planes tilted up
ward. tombstone guided the artificial
bird UP to a ffty-foot level, which
he maintained to the time of the fall.
intense excitement, which had been
nursed in heaving breasts broke it's
bounds. and shout rose from null
titude of threats. Whistles blew, Mid
way burst it's bounds, and there was
never such noise before. The sound
was deafening. Cry after cry rent the
air. There was no control, no effort
at control. The people Just yelled, and
then yelled again. Mrs. Richardson.
watching from her stand, did not yell.
She sighed with the agony Of sus-
pense. But she restrained herself with
tense intake of her breath.
tombstone had intended making sew
eral circles about the track and going
up two or three hundred feet. He was
flying low at first SO that the people
could have clear view of their execu-
tive. He had got past the middle of
the field, rising over the tents directly
in front of the grandstand. when hor-
ror-stricken people say the machine
swerve, point downward and then drop.
hoarse murmur rose from the
throng. and then the dense mob
streamed across the field People
thought that death had come as the
cost of amusement. They were relieved
to find that 1t was not so. The amuse-
ment will continue, and there will be
flights on the other three days before
the fair n 6aath,
had shaved close enough, and 1t was
the grace of only a ten-foot fall which
saved two lives.
Mayor Full of Rergret.
After escorting his wife to her car
riage. Mayor Richardson returned to
the ruin. and again expressed his re-
Eret. He said that he was not afraid,
that he would fly again the next min
ute. but that he was terribly sorry the
accident occurred. tombstone took it all
In his usual calm. quiet manner. There
was no trace of excitement In his de-
meanor, only the regret he could not
suppress.
Johnstones contract flight was bet
ter and more extended than any OF
the others, 1t was delayed short
While so that people coming in would
not miss the sensation. Shortly after
o'clock the flaps of the hangar
opened, and the aeroplane was brought
forth With stampede thousands Of
people crushed about. Some We're so
close that they were almost entangled
in the wires. and those behind were
pushing SO hard that they could not
free themselves. Officers pleaded with
them to stand back, but the press
seemed only to be stronger.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that the aeroplane was got through
the gates without accident. AS soon
as the gates We're closed after the
machine the people pressed on them,
and almost bore them down with their
weight But the Yaeroplane was safe.

Long before the time the white-winged
bird was ready and in place. A fif-
teen-mile wind was cutting across the
field from the southeast, and it blew
in flaws. making the air lanes choppy.
tombstone glanced aloft and announced
that he was ready
Ready for the Start.
From the north side of the field 5000
people streamed across to be nearer
the point OF rise 1t was impossible to
keep them back, but, the police kept
others from following suit. Only a few
were allowed inside the enclosure. but
thousands preferred to hang on the
rails to having seats In the grand
stand.
At $40 o'clock the motors started,
and the gu11-like thing slid down the
monorail. feeling her way into the in
visible spaces. Then 1t took wing. and
tombstone, climbing up. scared down
the field to make his usual dip to the
grandstand cheers. Everybody yelled
and cheered, for half those present had
never before seen an aeroplane. and
when it did everything they had ever
seen n bird do they simply lost them
selves in one loud Understanding
chant. Johnstone dipped. Engine
whistles blew. and the aeroplane Went
higher. Turning. with his machine
almost perpendicular Johnstone came
back up the stretch. and circled around
as II looking for his mate. Down and
again down and back he foated in the
coming dark, the bird-like thing be-
coming smaller and smaller as he scared
to where the eagles often poise. A bull
bat fed before him, flying faster than 1T
had ever flown before. The wind
gradually died away, and the evening
became calm and still, the flags on the
Executive Building tapped idly In the
dying current. Sweeping down the
north end OF the track, and then float
Ing back over the southern track.
Iohnstone then left the Fair Grounds
behind and went out to the north
over the treetops.
His Majestic Flight.
IT wanted to see what was over
there" he said afterwards. People
thought at first that he was flying
away. But ne pointed up the sleeps a
little higher. and then turned majestt-
cally for home. Again the huzza
sounded. and tombstone cut a few
queer turns. TIE came back to earth,
SKINNED the grasstops. and then. when
in front of the grandstand, leaped six
hundred feet into the air. That took
the crowd, and 1t stormed out APP
prevail in a volley Of shouts. Some
Threats will feel the strain to-day.
Thirteen minutes after he had left
the rail, Johnstone glided down his
unseen way. and settled as a mother
hen settles over her brood. He stepped
out and waved his hand as the people
burst out with refreshed energy and
the whistles footed their noisy acclaim.
It had been Johnstone's best flight and
he could have flown until night had
come and the crowd gone home.
The irrepressible mob streamed on
the field. and it took galloping and
running officers fifteen minutes to clear
