81 SLEEP AND LIFE "a
How Much Sleep Ought One ave2 Ovpng Overeang

TINE 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 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 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
grouse Ii may very well be doubt
ed. and it has recently been called
in question by physicians whose
opinions on the subject are entitled
to 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-
uously. 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
tine rule is frequently violated with
impunity. 1t is Well known that
Napoleon-and a more energetic
person than he probably never
lived-took habitusny only four
hours Of sleep out of every twenty
four 1t is said that Frederick the
Great had the same habit. and il
has been averred that Thomas A.
Edison requires only four and a half
hours Of sleep. Other famous men
VINO have done an overshare of the

chary of spending their time in

tn HE other day 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.
I quite liked the looks of the
youngster and also wishing to ae-
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 90 forth
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-
hibition right at the railroad sta

almost purely mental But Napo-
leon and Frederick were as active
physically as. they were intellec-
tually. The former tired out his
secretaries one after another and
could outride and outmarch his aids
and his. marshals.
There appears to be no doubt
that great mental energy plays an
important part in the ability TO
dispense with the ordinary amount
of sleep. And it may be that in
such cases the brain wears out the
body. Napoleon died at 81. and
showed signs of falling powers sew
eral years before his death. Some
have thought it was. failure of the
physical powers of the great cap
tain that lost Waterloo. On the
other hand Frederick lived to the
age of "A. but during the last 90
years of his life he had no cam
pagns to make,
The secret Of making few hours
of sleep suffice no doubt lies in the
ability, or habit, of sleeping pro-
foundly. Restless sleep is often of
little or no value. The habit of
dreaming frequently Breaks up
sleep. The brain goes on working,
though without the guidance of
will or judgment, while the rest of
the body slumbers. and the activi-
ty of the brain reacts upon the re-
mainder and breaks the sleep.
This is not bettered by the fact
that dreams in themselves are of
brief duration If they are recur-
rent they arouse and disturb the
body many times in the course of a
night The brevity of dreams is

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. 1t is pity we have
not some form of government
where the resp possibility could be
placed and the citizens know who is
at fault.
Someone must be If it were
private corporation the matter
would have been settled weeks ago.
The citizens win hold somebody
responsible for the delay, and they
must. whoever is at fault, assume
the grave responsibility of the APP
preaching summer with its heat
and the garbage question still un-
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 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

til something is accomplished
THE SOONER THE BETTER,

But in Oregon the whole public

For the school teacher to inau-

ment is too much to expect. But
in Oregon we have the State Bank

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. were 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 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

they were pragmatists, and We're

ATLANTA's GARBAGE QUESTION

various railroads running through
the city. it is estimated that a saw
ing of some $4,000 per year in
the expense of hauling can be eff
fected. So that the account will
stand, if Mr.. Liddell's offer is ac-
cepted thus:
Saving by shutting down
the present crematory -. 81, 900
Saving in expense of haul
ing ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $1,000
Total ..............,.... $4,000
Subtract from this Mr.. Lid
delIs pay, per year. ...... 5000
Freight charges per year. say 10000
Total .................. $4,000
Thus it viii be seen that the net
saving to the city will be $1,000
In addition we must bear in mind
that if all the garbage was burned
by the city at present cost, we
would have to add at least S2o, 900
to the cost. which would also APP
pear as a saving by this plan.
Why not adopt Mr.. LiddeHs
plan? Respectfully,
