country, 50 to speak. In the early days
when miners carried gold about in
pouches 1t was an insult to hesitate to
accept Il drink with the one issuing the
invitation. and many a man back in

was a mark Of decidedly bad breeding
and as time wore on the treating habit
became a fixed custom. which today In
milder form prevails wherever drink

THE PUBLIC HEALTH
The Russell SAGE foundation now has
a department of surveys and exhibits.
the purpose being to influence cities
and civic associations throughout the
country to collect accurate facts in re
gard to health and social conditions. to
explain these facts by exhibits and
other illustrative methods and to bring
about organized effort to obtain results
suggested by the facts.
The agency is under the direction Of
Shelby NJ. Harrison, director Of the
Syracuse survey Of 1911. and he IS as
sisted by f. G.. RoutZahn, who during
the last six years has been engaged in
the exhibit campaigns of the National
tuberculosis association. conducted in
more than forty cities Of the United
States, Mexico and Canada.
Scores of cities all over the coun-
try" said Mr.. Harrison. have begun
to realize the commercial and adver-
tising value Of a good health record
and good city government and have
asked outside help in studying their To-
cal problems and prescribing remedies.
1t is to meet this demand that the Rus
sell Sage foundation has established
this department, which on a noncOm-
mcrcial basis will assist communities
in applying scientific method and effec-
tive publicity toward city betterment,
In the last forty years economic etfi-
cheney has far outrun advance in so
cial and human conditions. We want
to stimulate the self consciousness OF
cities and for that purpose shall study
questions Of health, tuberculosis, tene,
ment and factory life, immortality and

MAPS AS

Celebrated old maps Of the world re-
produced as glass transparencies in the
windows Of the American Geograph-
ical society building in New York city
are being used by the society for per
manent window decorations. Forty
two maps selected to represent the de-
velopment Of mapmaking from the
first to the seventeenth century are
shown in the windows of the first floor
of the building on the Broadway and
One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street
sides.
The idea OF utilizing the windows for
nap transparencies occurred to DR.. Ed
ward Luther Stevenson, secretary Of
the Hispanic Society Of America. He
saw that the building, with its many
windows, received plenty of sunlight,
which made the windows well fitted
for transparencies. and that the trans
~parencies would go far to hide the ugli-
ness of the iron bars on the outside Of
the windows. DR.. Stevenson took his
idea to Archer NJ. Huntington. the hon
orary president of the Geographical 20
ciety, and Mr.. Huntington and other
officers Of the society thought so well
Of 1t that they told DR.. Stevenson to go
ahead with his transparencies.
The maps reproduced on the
windows were collected by DIR. Steven
son from many Of the cities of the old
world.
The originals Of the maps We're made
BY monks and early geographers.
Many OF them represent the world in
curious shapes and sizes. In the early
maps the east is shown at the top
and the garden of Eden and heaven
are given geographical positions.

The farm which was established last

own expenses through college has
proved such a success that next year
almost 100 acres owned by the uni
versity will be titled. The report for
the past year showed that the pro-

counterbalance the expenses. but the
farm was not pushed to the limit as
regarded its productive capacity.
Fifteen students were given en-
