On State Anti=TubercuIOsis
Staff

Mrs. Anna Bartholomew, until re-
Gently at the head of Associated
Charities in Racine, has been APP
pointed to the staff of the Wisconsin
Anti Tuberculosis Association to
aid in securing for the cities of the
state adequate care in the treatment
of and in the control of infection
in advanced cases of tuberculosis.
Mrs. Bartholomew, who has had
Thorough training and experience
in practical sociological investiga-
tions, will begin her activities in
Kenosha and Racine and in other
cities that have been the subject of
investigation by the association
through Miss Sarah West Ryder,
the visiting nurse, who is at present
beginning months work in Mani
towoc.
In accordance with the estab-
lished policy of the association,
says Executive Secretary, DR.. H. E.
Dearholt, Mrs. Bartholomew will
direct her efforts largely to securing
in each city the employment of a
trained tuberculosis nurse to work
in connection with the health de-
partment. AS experience has
shown that the only efficient meth
cd of combating the disease is
through local effort directed against
the chief source of infection, the ad-
vanced case, the services of visiting
nurses has proven invaluable.
1t will be manifestly impossible
to expect the county sanatoria to
care for all advanced cases, in spite
of the fact that a number of coun-
ties have made great progress along
that line in the few weeks since the
passage of the sanatorium bill. Some
cases must be treated at home. Here
is where the visiting nurse comes
in, and where a regularly employed
nurse would be practical solu-
ton; and logically she would work
to best advantage in connection
with the health department"

The College at the Door

The introduction of two-years
course of college work at the nor
NAL schools of the state is the most
significant step yet taken in the
movement to bring the higher ed
ucation close to the people.
Instead of one state school where
young men and women may begin
a college course, there will now be
nine-Ghe university and eight nor
NAL schools.
Higher education will therefore
not only be more readily accessible
in Wisconsin than it was before but
the reduced cost of travel together
with the reduced cost of living i'm
plict in attending college at or
near home should make this educa-
ton possible for many who are ex-
cluded from its benefits today.
Yet this if but one of the many ad-
vantages of the normal school col
lege course, which, when completed,
will enable the student to enter,
without other preliminaries, the jun
Tor year at the university.
One Of the greatest advantages is
the opportunity it affords parents to
retain a more direct supervision
over the lives of their children dur
ing the most critical years of college
life. Instead of precipitating the
youth at the climactic period of ad-
olescence into the social and moral
Jungle of big university, the boy
or girl can obtain the same educate
onal advantages but under conditi-
ons of proper supervision and guild
ance.
The relatively small size of the
student body at the normal school
is also desirable for other reasons.
At the great universities underclass-
men are herded in classes of hundr-
eds and under poorly paid instruct
ors. They do not receive the ben
fit of instruction under the leading
professors, nor, for that matter, do
they enjoy any Of that personal con
tact with their teachers which is
conceded to be the most valuable
factor in a college career.
The small size of the classes at
the normal school permits of just
that personal acquaintance, person
al interest and personal assistance
on the part of teachers which makes
instruction vital and holds the stu
dent to the highest standards.
Moreover, it enables the freshman
no less than the upper classmen to
receive the services of the ablest
instructors.
The courses and studies in the
normal school college are duplicate
of those offered by the University
of Wisconsin in the college of let
tiers and science, and the system of
credits is the same. However, the
normal school year is four weeks
longer than the university year.
The entrance requirements of the
normal school college are the same
as those of the university. The
regents, however, have taken ad-
vanced ground in this that they &C.
credit all Wisconsin four-year free
high schools that are in receipt of
state aid. This new departure in
the educational service of the Wis
consin Normal schools is undoubt-
edly the most progressive step tax
en- by a state noted for its educa-
tional leadership. 1t will be watch
ed with great interest by the rest of
the country.-Milwau kee Free

TAKE HEED

Attention is called to the fact that
there is an ordinance in River Falls
forbidding persons to ride bicycles
on the Sidewalks within the city.
AS the practice of riding such
vehicles upon sidewalks is danger

BUILD NEW PIPE
 PLANT AT BOYLES

That a terra cotta sewer pipe plant would be erected near Boyles, on creek near that place, costing approximately S200, ,000, work to begin within a short time, was the statement made in Bir- mingham by some of the parties inter- ested.
 It is stated that "A acres of land have been secured adjoining the Louisville and Nashville property at Boyles for the plant. which is situated in close proximity to deposit of soil specially adapted to the work.
 The acreage, according to the general understanding, was purchased from pr. G. B. Tarrant and associates, who have in that neighborhood wide area of prop erty.
 The plant will be constructed by Lewis Minor and associates and their plans are being now shaped up. The plant with all equipment and necessary apparatus will cost about $200,OO0. No official announce ment has been made as yet as MT. Minor says all his plans have not ma- tured, and at this time he does not know definitely what will result.
 The buildings of the plant will be of reinforced concrete. and one of the prin- cipal ones will be three stories in height. All the equipment will be of the most modern kind. When the plant is complet- cd 1t is expected that at least 15O or 200 men will be employed.

and register by D. R. Kelley and ". M. Fitzpatrick show that in each case cited in the petition the injunctions had been violated
 In view of the recent developments in the prohibition problem, including the passage of the Parks bill, considerable interest is manifested in the question of whether the original injunction proceed ings brought by Attorney General Gar Der will be further prosecuted By some it is argued that the Parks bill and subsequent legislation of it's nature will be in effect repeal of the Fuller bill, in which case the injunction proceed ings will have no foundation on which to stand
 The rule nisi proceedings, however, are stated to be merely equivalent to charges of contempt of the city court on the part of the defendants who were en- joined. It is stated that the defendants could be punished on such a charge despite the fact that the injunctions were no longer in force due to the repeal of the Fuller bill by act of the present leg islature. Persons convicted on this charge may be punished by imprison- ment.

CRAWFORD PLEASED
 WITH BIRMINGHAM
New York Banker Says Census Has Done City Untold
 Good

Robert L. Crawford, a banker of New York and relative of Dr. John l.. Parker of Birmingham, was here yes- ing some old friends. He has been in Florida for the past several weeks and en route to New York decided to pass through Birmingham
 He said yesterday that it had beer four years since he had been in Bir- mingham but in that time the city bus mess section had grown at a rate that almost beggared description. He pointed out that the Empire, Chamber of Commerce and the Brown-Marx an- mex had all been erected since his last visit to Birmingham MT. Crawford was driven over the residential section, to Ensley and Bessemer and to other points of interest about Birmingham, and before leaving said:
 Birmingham is really the most phe- nomenal city that l know of anywhere. Here it has been only a very short time since I was in Birmingham, yet you have three or four new sky scrapers, a monumental water scheme below EnSley a practically brand new steel rail mill, and immense residential tracts being opened up beyond Red mountain in the valleys around there. The federal census certainly substan- tiated what was claimed for Birming ham. The returns were talked about all over the country and there is no way of measuring how much good this did for Birmingham. After all Is said an6 done, the financial interests and any individual that has money to spend does not like to go against the federal census. It is a nightly important fac tor in shaping up an investment
 'I am very glad that Birmingham Is getting back to earth after the rabid legislation of the past few years. That is a sign that conservatism is prevail

ARE
 CONSIDERED FAIR
CITY ATTORNEY BOYD AND OTHERS PLEASED TO HEAR THAT DISPATCHES CONCERN ING BILL WERE ERRONEOUS

The announcement by Senator Hugf Morrow from Montgomery, as given yes terday morning, saying that 75 per cent of the revenue from dispensaries would be given to the city, was received ir Birmingham With a great deal of satis- faction by the city officials. Since the announcement from Montgomery las week that the proposed legislation grant ed the cities only one-third of the profits and placed upon the city an expensive burden of policing the area, the city off, cers have been very much concerned.
 City Attorney Romaine Boyd, in an ef- fort to change the views of Senator Nor row, sent a letter to him a few days ago setting out the unfair division and asking him to modify the measure.
 As now understood Senator Morrow will take care of the city in the measure. It was generally known that Senator Mor- row was fully informed as to the city financial position and his friends be- lieved the measure would be so arranged as to take care of Birmingham finan- cially.
 Captain Boyd. whose letter to Mir Nor row was published a few morning ago. gave out a statement yesterday explain ing his misunderstanding of the proposed distribution. It follows:
 Tn the press dispatches from Mont gomery last week the statements were made that under the saloon plan the city would receive 40 per cent of the license money, the state 40 per cent, and the county 20 per cent; and that under the Morrow dispensary bill the city, state and county would each receive one-third of the profits.
 T am glad to know that the dispatches were in error as to the Morrow bill, for if the city Is to have the management and responsibility of B dispensaries, be- sides bearing the expense of policing the same, then 75 per cent of the profits would be very reasonable share for the city
 My recollection is that there is a spe- cal provision in the constitution whereby Mobile has received all of the money arising from saloon licenses in Mobile.''
