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
scrapers. our postoffice receipts,
and our bank clearings if We have
a menace facing US at all times.
The garbage question has been
played battledoor and shuttlecock
long enough It 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 II 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 carnage question Stl! uI-
solved.
Because we have been, as city
fortunate in the past and had no
epidemic of any magnitude. there
is no reason why Atlanta should
pass this summer without disas-
ter that would be appalling.
am glad The Georgian has taken
this work UP. and hope with its
usual persistencv, and its bulldog
gedness. that it will not cease IN
til. something is accomplished
THE SOONER THE BETTER.
and our people viii be grateful

SLEEP AND LIFE
How ucSeep Ought Oneto Overeepng as Bad

THE etght-hour work day is
undoubtedly based upon a
traditional division Of the "A
hours which the earth takes to
make a single rotation on It's axis
into three equal periods OF eight
hours apiece each to be devoted
to different general purpose
eight hours for work. eight
hours for recreation and eight hours
for sleep" thus runs the imme
mortal adage II 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 divi-
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
generally assumed that the aver
age man or woman needs eight
hours Of sleep in order to keep
body and mind refreshed and Wig

opinions on the subject are emitted

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 a
plan and adjust the differences and
proceed without delay Such report
as this conference corrmittAe would
make would. I am sure. be agreed
to by the council The patience Of
the people has grown threadbare. 1t
appears to be the case of a balky
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
ence committee and it rarely hap
pens that such a committee fails 20
solve the controversy. Why not try
this plan? Otherwise the public
may have to discharge the cid team
and hitch up new horses

Service
tn HE other day a man came to
me, bringing with him his
son aged nineteen. The boy
was quite az big as his father. The
father requested that L supply the
young man with 2 situation. in
other words, give him, Job
I 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 AL And my first oues-
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 I 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 a thinker And the
man who is going 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, n D., the North
ern Pacific railroad joins hands
with the public school system. and
the result is a most delightful ex
htbition right at the railroad sta
ton of what big business can do
when animated with soul-a thing
which we have always been in

formed corporations do not pos
sess.
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. NJ. John Fl Pat
terson.
But in Oregon the whole public
school system is committed to man
ual training and the school gar
den
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
ers association, the state Fair
board, the normal schools, the ag-
ricultural colleges. the various ad
clubs, the rotary clubs, the business
science clubs. all working together
to a common end and for one pur-
pose.
l recently met the Oregon state
superintendent Of schools It was
at midday luncheon of the Ro-
tary club at Portland These rotary
clubs are clubs that make the
wheels go round
Superintendent Alderman was
there to tell what he is doing and
trying to do and hoping to do. And
the rotary boys, full of the right in
tent, we're getting in line to do their
share.
Many of the city schools in Port
land were not equipped, naturally,
to carry out this work and so they
were encroaching 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
ster made his selection of seeds or
plants Some were intent on rails
ing flowers, but for the most part
they were pragmatists. and were
raising the things ths5 had a gen.
uine tangible value
The Bankers association had Of
fered prizes for each school, and
also for individual scholars for
melons, beets, potatoes, corn Then
came a produce association and Of
fered to buy all the popcorn canta-
loupes and vatermelons that the
children would produce at certain
fixed prices. Here was a chance to
make sure enough money. and the
children were going right after It,
Not only were these school chill
dren in Portland and the various
other towns and cities, as we'll as
the county districts in Oregon. rails
ing flowers in gardens, but they
were putting roses in their cheeks. p
Psychology now teaches US that
happiness is the true end and aim
of life. Unless we are happy in
our work filled with animation,
hope and good cheer the physical
faculties are retarded, mentality is
stunted. and through lack Of re-
sisting power disease. want and
woe wait just around the corner.
There is no prophylactic equal to
a laugh Nothing is so hygienic as
success. The birch. the ferrule and
the cat nine tails in pedagogy
have been replaced by the hoe the
spade and the watering pot. And
laughter has taken the place of
tears
