Children Had No Seats.
To the. Editor of the Evening Star;
Sir-NVil you permit q slight cor
rection in your very kind report of
my remarks at the Civic Federation
conference on the proposed new State
constitution in your issue of Decem-
Der 8?
The report says hat l cited a case
in Philadelphia a few years ago when
"the children of certain schools had
to sit on straightforward benches.
When the women appealed to the au-
thorities to remedy the condition they
received the reply that the common
wealth did not have money enough.
The same year. however, an appro-
priation Of $50 900 was made for the
entertainment Of a convention of
Elks.'
The point of my little anecdote was
that the children had no seats at all.
Twenty thousand children of that
city were unable to get seats in the
public schools at the time the APP
preparation was made for the con-
vention.
1 used the instance. among others.
to illustrate that while women con
tribute TO public funds they are UNI
able to control their expenditure
along lines in which they are very
deeply interested.

remembered that there is a limit TO
lowering of the death rate by SAM
tary measures, since neither the
deaths of the aged nor those from
constitutional diseases are thu pre-
ventable.
1t Is worth while remarking here
that the death rates for this city.
which are published in the State and
national reports, are misleading, for
the reason that they include tine
deaths of non-residents who die In
Orange hospitals. Such deaths do
not appear In the statistics of the
home towns of the patients, but added
to the Orange figures increase greatly

Death Rate Normal, He says.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-A statement to the effect that
the death rate in Orange is some-
what higher than normal as at
tributed by one of the newspapers to
a speaker at the Orange High School
chapel exercises yesterday, is one
which has doubtless created some
misrepresentation as to public health
conditions in this city. Such a mis-
apprehension will be corrected by
consideration of the following facts:
1t is impossible to say, in a general
sense, just what a normal death
rate is. Death rates are influenced by
a multitude of factors, many of which
are beyond control by health author
tiles or by the people themselves.
Thus in Orange the presence of a con-
siderable colored population tends TO
raise the death rate, in spite of sani-
tary measures. The same may be
said also of the hating industry,
which is recognized as being among
the trades detrimental to the health
of many of It's workers. A city thus
handicapped will, all other things
being equal, have a higher death rate
than a city with no such problems.
In considering the meaning of the
death rate and the efficiency of SAM
tary measures such handicaps must
be taken into account.
The fact is, however, that in spite
of such disadvantages Orange may
congratulate itself on a marked de-
cline in7its death rate in recent years.
The following table is illustrative.
Deaths of non-residents in Orange
hospitals are excluded:
