China Building Railroads.

China is already making progress
under the new regime in providing
Itself with railway transportation
lines. Writing to the Department of
Commerce and Labor from Hongkong,
United States Consul General George
E. Anderson declares that there is re-
newed activity in the construction of
the important Canton-Hankow Rail-
way northward.
This line, which will connect Hong
kong with Central China, Mr.. Ander-
son says, is already operating to Lai
Tang, small village sixty-seven
miles from Canton. Grading and
bridging up to mile 70 is practically
completed, but grading between there
and mile IS is backward, according to
Mr.. Anderson, because Of the preju-
dice against railroads still frequently
met with among the natives. Work
between mile 100 and mile 40 is in
progress, and that on the section up
to $50 is being rapidly advanced

measles, which in their final results
are infinitely more dangerous, are per.
mitted to occur without remark.
Results of the past decade of sani-
tary activity have been to prove that
the prolongation of life is entirely
practicable, and this prolongation has
been largely brought about by inn
provement in sanitary administration.
The time is not long since PASSED
when the public health official who
boldly pointed out the needs for sani-
tary improvement in the factories of
d wealthy corporation endangered his
position. Today, such criticisms are
gladly received and promptly acted
upon. The efficiency of human ma
chinery is quite as important as the
efficiency of the other machinery of
the factories, and the realization OF
this fact has resulted in an extension
of the powers and duties of the public

a faint relation to the army as a

'PUBLIC HEALTH is
A PUBLIC UTILITY"
Declared Surgeon General Blue, Who
Says Dollar Invested In Sanitation
Not an Expenditure But Loan.

Public health is public utility
A dollar paid out in sanitation
is not an expenditure, but a
loan, which will be returned an
hundred fold" declared Surgeon Gen
eral Rupert Blue of the United States
Public Health Service, in an address
before the Association of Life Insur-
ance Presidents, in session at New
York City recently.
ANY municipality, state or nation
can have public health if it will pay
the price, continued the Surgeon
General. "The most needed reforms
in public health administration are
greater cooperation between public
officials, the employment of full time
workers, establishment of labora-
tories, accurate collection OF vital
statistics and the setting aside of suf-
ficient funds to accomplish those
things.
"The future of sanitary administra-
tion in this country depends upon the
interest which the citizens take in its
development. There is no better in.
dex of the state of civilization of a
community than the manner in which

it approaches its public health prob
lens. There is still much room fol-
reform in the sanitary administration
Of many states and municipalities in
our country, and not the least i'm
portant duty devolving upon the
health officials of this nation is the
education of the general public to the
end that sanitary reforms will not
only be accepted but will also be
earnestly sought for.
Our slow progress in the direction
of perfect national health is due to
the fact that the people have not as
yet fully realized its Importance and
have not demanded that protection
against preventable disease which
they have right to expect from their
administrative officials. Neither have
they demanded legislation and appro-
priations which are essential to the
successful prosecution of public health
work There are two main causes for
the paucity of sanitary legislation
public Indifference and economic op.
position.
"The feverish energy in sanitary
matters which characterizes the gen.
eral public in time of epidemic soon
to public health matters. The average
is willing to take chance
of contracting a disease when it seems
a long way off, and it is only when
it is close upon him and in spectacu-
lar form that he appreciates its dan
ger. A single case of leprosy in

contrary, carried By the victors only
through the concerted and integratine
efforts of vast fighting mcahine. the
various arms of which occupied miles
of territory, yet operated with dead
ly accuracy in which each and every
part of the army discharged its duties
without endeavoring for individual
brilliancy and with the single aim OF
interlocking efficiency without loss OF
power or time.
THE sanitary machine of this coun.
try is a vast organization, reaching
from the White House to the humblest
cottage in the United States. The day
has passed when by individual bril-.
liancy a battle against disease foes
may be won without regard to the en-.
gagements which are going on all
about us. We live in an age in which
efficiency is the slogan. We have
learned from oft-repeated failure and
sore disappointment that in sanitary
work as in all the other efforts of the
human race, the greatest good can be
accomplished in the shortest space of
time and with a minimum of expendl-
tnre of funds and labor by concen.
trated, cooperative effort.
"The most needed reform in the ad.
ministratlon of all of the various parts
of the public health arm of the nation
is an active and generous cooperation
one with the other. The Public
Health Service cannot succeed in the
fullest extent If it is not assisted by
the state and local health authorities.
The state departments of health can
not discharge their duties with great
est profit without the help Of the coun-
ty and municipal boards of health, and
all of them to succeed in the broadcast
way must cooperate one with the
other and all as a whole.
The form which this cooperation
should take is capable of endless va. |
ration and untold multiplicity, but |
the first and one of the most import.
ant single factors is in the collection
Of vital statistics. The registration
area for deaths at present occupies
only about two-thirds of our country.
An endeavor is being made to estab.
fish a registration area for morbidity.
and this is most needed reform in
public health administration.
1T is the great glory of the period
n which we live that we have recog-
lized our responsibility as our broth.

Still Near Thef Bottom.

In a comparative study of State
school systems made by the Rus
sell Sage Foundation, Kentucky is
assigned forty-second place in gen.
eral efficiency among the forty
eight States of the Union.
In current expenditure per child
of school age Kentucky ranks
tortieth; in average value of school
property, thirty eighth; in average
percentage of attendance, fortieth;
in average annual salary of teach
ers, thirty-third. TheIa!v rage
percentage of attendance Tin Ken
lucky is 63.7. The average an
nual salary of teachers is 1887.
Kentucky provides fifty-s civ n
days of schooling per year for
every child IN the State.
These are some of the facts
CLEANED from a New York dispatch
telling of the study made by the
Russell Sage tcundation. 1t is
well that we should occasionally
see ourselves as others see u.s."
1t is by comparison that we may
best take note of our progress and
the showing that is made by Ken
lucky in this exhibit of American
school systems is not such as to
give US pleasure or pride.
1t seems hardly believable that
Kentucky, one of the oldest States
of the Union, should be behind so
many other Commonwealth in
educational advancement. but that
such is the case was fully estab-
lished, even before the existence
of the Russell Sage Foundation.
This latest report, therefore, comes
in theS nature of cumulative evil
dence. 1t merely emphasizes the
necessity of accelerating the edu-
cational campaign.
The people of Kentucky need
some forcible reminders, once in a
while, of the low school status.
This Russell Sage Foundation re-
port comes within that category
and may in that sense be helpful,
but it is not to be classed as desir- 4
able advertising for the Common
wealth.

Nature in Mid-Winter.

June, crowned with roses. and
October with her riot of color,
have their messages. But in the
silence and whiteness of mid-win-
ter Nature is seen in her most
haunting way. The great snow
world is unrelieved in its dazzling
whiteness save for the family trac-
ed tracks of a rabbit, the tracery
of bullrushes or reeds, and a blush
of pink at sunset. The silent lake
locked in by brooding hills, pres
ents a somber stretch of pallid ice.
The barren elm trees whisper IT,
tanic secrets in the winter twi-
light. The branches of the frs
and yews are laden down with
clods of snow. Each little twig
and stalk along the wayside is a
crystal wand as if the magic hand
of Jack Frost had suddenly trans
formed it into silver. Hedgerows,
gateposts and stubble take on fan
tastic shapes. Through the arch
ed boughs of the trees you look
upon a vignette of purple skies,
white plumes and brown fretwork.
The world has taken on nuns veil
ing and has gone into retreat,
maybe in preparation for the resur-
rection soon to come. Nature is a
vestal virgin, thoughtful and ST.
lent. In the village churchyard
the snow fairies are covering with
a white mantle the low mounds
even as the birds covered with
leaves the soft forms of the babes
in the woods. Golfers Weekly.
