It was early in the morning
early enough to make the day seem

HEALTH COMES FIRST.

Editor Georgian
BY all means The Georgian IS
along the right line and is. as usual
following a constructive policy.
The health OF the city does and
should be considered first
It is idle to talk about our sky
scraper our postofice receipts,
and our bank clearings if we have
a menace facing US at all times
The garbage question has been
played battedoor and shuttlecock
long enough 1t is a pity we have
not some form of government
where the responsibility could be
placed and the citizens know who is
at fault
Someone must be. If it were a
private corporation the matter
would have been settled weeks ago.
The citizens will hold somebody
responsible for the delay, and they
must. whoever is at fault, assume
the grave responsibility Of the ap-
preaching summer with its heat
and the garbage question still un-
solved.
Because We have been. as a city,
fortunate ip the past and had no
epidemic of any magnitude. there
is no reason why Atlanta should
pass this summer without a disas-
ter that would be appalling.
am glad The Georgian has taken
this work up and hope with its
usual persistency, and its bulldog
gedness. that it will not cease I'M
til something is accomplished
THE SOONER THE BETTER,
and our people viii BE- grateful

"a SLEEP AND LIFE "a
How Much Sleep Ought Ovrpng Oveatng

TIME eight-hour work day is
undoubtedly based upon
traditional division of the "a
hours which the earth takes to
make a single rotation on its axis
into three equal periods, of eight
hours apiece. each to be devoted
to a different general purpose.
Eight hours for work, eight
hours for recreation and eight hours
for sleep" thus runs the imme-
mortal adage 1t IS likely that this
offhand division of time rests upon
some widespread experience of the
needs and capacities of life and
of the human machine. for all old
time rules of this kind are always
found To be grounded somewhere
upon actual experience
The question of the proper divt-
sion of time, especially between the
states of waking and sleeping. is
one of great Importance to every
human being Is it true. as it is
age man or woman needs eight
hours of sleep in order to keep
body and mind refreshed and Wig
orous? II may very well be doubt
ed. and it has recently been called
in question by physicians whose
opinions on the subject are entitled
70 attention The proposition has
also been made. with apparent rea-
son that too much sleeping is as
bad as too much eating
If it IS true that We must have
not less than eight hours Of sleep.
then men can do better than ma
ture does. for he makes many of
his machines work almost contin-
uouSlv with the aid of proper care
and sufficient fabrication. Is sleep
the only efficient restorer Of the
powers of the body and BRAIN 1t
is generally regarded as such. but
the rule is frequently violated with
impunity. 1t is we'll known that
Napoleon-and a more energetic
person than he proba bly, never
lived took habitually only four
hours of sleep out Of every twenty
-four II is said that Frederick the
Great had the same habit and il
has been averred that Thomas A
Edison requires only four and half
hours Of sleep other famous men
who have done an overshare Of the
world work have been similarly
ohary OF spending their time in
state Of Inconsistencies II might
be thought that in tn case Of Ed
son the anomaly could be explained
on TIE ground that his work IS

To the Editor of The Georgian:
Sir-A practical solution of the
controversy it seems to me, would
be to appoint a conference commit
tee composed of say three members
of the health board and three from
the finance committee, to meet
with the mayor and agree upon
plan and adjust the differences and
proceed without delay Such report
as this conference committee would
make WOULD, l am sure. be agreed
to by the council The patience Of
the people has grown threadbare. It
appears to be the case of balkv
team-one horse pulls and then the
Other pulls. but the two never pull
together. Whenever the two houses
Of congress disagree on a vital
measure they resort to confer
enee committee and it rarely hap
pens that such a committee fails to
solve the controversy Why not try
this plan Otherwise the public
may have to discharge the old team
and hilton UP new horses

There appears to be no doubt
that great mental energy plays an

such cases the brain wears out the

The secret of making a few hours

little or no value. The habit Of

Then there is the example Of the
National Cash Register folks, who
maintained school gardens ten
years or more ago. Now the pub
lie school system of DAYTON has
taken over this delightful better
ment inaugurated by that strong
and able man, Mr.. John H Pat

But IN Oregon the whole public
school system is committed to man
ual training and the school gar

For the school teacher to inau-
gurate this great betterment with
out the backing up of public senti-
ment is too much to expect. But
in Oregon we have the State Bank

the rotary boys, full of the right in

share.
Many of the city schools In Port
land were not equipped naturally,
to carry out this work. and so they
were eneroaching on the Pingree
preserve. utilizing vacant lots in
the vicinity Of the schools.
Each pupil had a little plot OF
ground of his own. A good deal Of
liberty was allowed and the young

III HE other day a man came to
me, bringing with him his
son aged nineteen The boy
was quite as big as his father. The
father requested that l supply the
young man with a situation, in
other words. give him a job
l quite liked the looks Of the
youngster and. also wishing to ac
commodate the father, cast around
in my mind for some place that the
boy could fill And my first ques-
ton was. What can the young
man do"
And the father turned the cal
cium on the situation by promptly
saying with a look Of surprise,
Why. he can't do anything, he's
just out of college"
Recently the Associated Press
flashed the news that J Pierpont
Morgan has given $4,000 to the
Bowery Mission for the benefit of
poor and needy college graduates
And this was no pleasantly. As
far as l know. nobody laughed
Why are college graduates poor
and needy Why is anybody poor
and needy?
There are two reasons that the
individual hasn't anything that the
world wants. and can not do any
thing that the world wants done
All down the centuries, men di-
vided the world up into the doors
and the thinkers The thinkers did
no work, and the workers did no
thinking. And the result was. that
both the work and the thinking
were very i'll performed
We are now just realizing for the
first time in the history of the world
that in order to do good thinking a
man must work with his hands a
certain number of hours each day.
He must live out in the open and
mix with the world of workers-the
people who are doing things, and
the men and women who go forth
to their labors until the evening.
And thus out of his experience
his conVolutions Will be caused to
vibrate.
The man who is going to do good
work must be thinker. And the
man who is COINS TO do good think
ing must be worker.
These things now sound like pure
bromides. But it is necessary that
they should be affirmed again and
and again. for even yet there are
schools and colleges that cultivate
the education de luxe that is sup
posed to tend toward ease and hon
ors
There is only one state in the
Union where school gardens and
actual outdoor work for every
scholar in the public schools. from
kindergarten to high school is be
ing provided
This is the state of Oregon. We
have manual training here and
there. and occasionally school gar
dens carried on by patriotic and
public spirited persons who form
themselves into civic societies.
At jamestown, y. D., the North
ern Pacific railroad joins hands
with the public school system and

 Mss Earle Jones was the winner of an Overland automobile which the
 Citizens Daily Bulletin, the reform paper here, offered as a prize in a subscription contest When it came time to deliver the car by the paper John Riggs, who is the Overland agent, declared the car was his, was unpaid for. and therefore Miss Jones did not receive 1t.
 Through counsel Miss Jones sued
