THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Concerning Predisposition.

By DR.. LAWRENCE F. FLICK.
Some families undoubtedly are
more prone to tuberculosis than
others. This is true not only of
families but of races. Predispo-
sition is usually divided into
three inds-individual, family
and racial The individual pre-
disposition is often brought
about by improper living and by
excess in eating and drinking,
Family predisposition may be
due to inherited tendencies or to
environment under which the
family lives. Racial predispOsi-
ton appears to hinge largely
upon the length of time to which
the race has been exposed to the
disease and the resistance which
the race has built up against the
disease.

Cows and Hoes-and Men.

We have an agricultural de
partment. aid we are spending
$4,000. 900 or S15.O0U.UO0 a year
to tell the farmers by the results
of our research how they ought
to treat the soil and how they
ought to treat the hogs and how
they ought to treat the cattle
and the horses. with view to
having good hogs and good cat
tie and good horses. There is
nothing in the constitution espe-
cially about hogs or cattle or
horses, and If out of the public
treasury at Washington We can
esta blish a department for that
purpose it does not seem to be a
long step or a stretch of logic
to say that we have the power
to spend the money in bureau
of research to tell how we can
develop good men and good WO-
men. Some Of our enthusiastic
conservatOrs of national re-
sources have calculated how
much the life of each man and
each woman in the community
is worth to that community. |
do not think it necessary to re-
sort to that financial calculation
in order to Justify the saving of
human life, such as can be ac-
complished by the results of re-
search and advice that will pro-
coed from a properly established
bureau of health.

dry enough not to puddle when
worked. A single blowing when too
wet will have bad effect for three or
four years. The same is true of har-
rowing and cultivating to a somewhat
less extent.
When it is desirable ultimately to
have the furrow slice deep, six or
seven inches, it should be deepened
gradually. The bacteria and other or
ganisms which are active in producing
fertility are much more abundant near
the surface and the vegetable matter
on which they act in the new clay
soils are largely confined to an inch
or two of the surface. 1t is important
that the first blowing should be rather
shallow and that it should be deep
ened gradually, half inch or so each
year. Disking a sod before blowing
aids in getting good contact between
the surface soil and the subsoil.

SCHOOLS FOR
THE CHILDREN
State Commissioner Kendall
at Woman's Federation.
spso,aIe 10 tie BvENTNo

Haddonfeld, Oct. 2S:-That all
kinds of pull" should be eliminated
from the public school system OF
New Jersey and under no circum-
stances should an inefficient teacher
be retained, was the declaration of
DIR. Calvin N. Kendall, the new State
Commissioner of Education, in an
address here today before the State
Federation of Women's Clubs. 1t
was Commissioner Kendalps first
public utterance as to school matters
in New Jersey and he was heard
with unusual attention on this ac-
count.
He based his speech on the con-
tentIon that the school exists for the
child and not the child for the
school. 1T is poor economy he
said, ito build ornamental school
houses and attempt to save money
by economizing in teachers. This is
taking 1t out on the children"
He directed special attention to
factors which determine school eff
ficiency. These, he said, were: The
school plant or building, the u
OF study, school organization, the
teacher; supervision or leadership of
the schools, the school board. and
the attitude OF the community, or
public sentiment concerning the
schools, He claimed that school
grounds should be made as large and
as beautiful az possible and should
be equipped with playground appar-
atus. With reference to the course
of study. he said there was Justice In
the claim that the schools are at
tap1 rffnw 70 faanh f.. nnon, fhfn GRO
He maintained that the course of
training in the Fundamentally or in
struments Of knowledge, such as
reading, spelling and arithmetic. 1t
should also provide intellectual and
spiritual resources, training of the
physical nature and Industrial train
ing. He insisted that useless mater
ial should be eliminated from the
courses In the elementary schools.
He claimed that the rural schools
should create an interest In agricul-
ture to the end that the boys may
see all the possibilities of farm life.
On industrial education he said:
Industrial training is particularly
necessary for the older boys aud
girls who will not go to the high
schools. Some Of these are In a state
of unconscious rebellion against the
conventional, bookish course of
study. One means of saving these
youth to society is to furnish them
industrial training, to the end that
when they leave school they will
have both inclination and training
for industrial pursuits"
More teachers properly trained
was a need which he emphasized,
He showed that only sixty per cent.
OF the teachers In this state are
trained. One way to bring improve
ment here which ne mentioned was
that more attractive salaries be paid.
He pleaded for better leadership In
the school for capable, high minded
school boards, and a public senti-
ment that is positive toward educa-
ton. rather than negative.
DR.. Kendall pointed Out that the
New Jersey public school cost about
s12, 100000 and that the school en-
rollment Is nearly 500, 900. The
school cost last year, based upon
actual attendance, was. 20M cents
per day per pupil.
