Brain and Boards,

The ancient Babylonians displayed
their superior intelligence by refusing
10 wear boards, but the Assyrians let
them grow wild. The Jews all wore
boards, as they were forbidden to mar
them. The Tartars waged a long war
with the Persians, declaring them in
tidels, because they would not cut
their boards, after the custom of the
Tartars. Which proves that the Tar
tars were brainy tribe.-Pittsburgh

mo" says Clifford w. Beers, and
proves it by his own experience.
Beers, Yale graduate, was crazy
absolutely stark, raving crazy.
There can be no question about it.
For nearly three years he was an in
mate of hospitals for the insane. A
large part of that time he seemed as
hopeless as any maniac who ever
wore straight jacket in the padded
cell of a violent" ward. For many
months his mind was so shattered
that his mere physical life was
deSpaired of.
Now Beers is a scientist of national
repute, the author of admitted mas
.terpieces of narrative, analysis and
logic, a man whose mental power
and poise compel respect-a healthy,
sane, useful member of society.
Beers came strikingly into public
notice at the recent congress on
school hygiene at Buffalo, where he
appeared as secretary of the national
committee on mental hygiene an
organization which he founded and
of which he is the moving spirit.
A large part of the improved treat
ment of insanity of late years is the
result of Beers effort, and particu-
larry of his probably the most
remarkable work on insanity ever
written.
"a Mind That Found ITSELF is the
autobiography of an insane man. 1t
was written after his recovery, when
every detail of his appalling expe-
rience was fresh in his mind 1t re-
lated, for the first time in history, the
inner life of darkened soul, telling
of the storms that swept through: it 4
and of the Self that shook and failed, /

because at the time they seemed rea-
sonable to him.
But all the time he knew what he
was doing. And kindness, patience,
good air and nourishing food made
him better, and brutality and hard
ship made him worse, and he knew it.
He is devoting his life now to
teaching doctors and asylum officials
what he learned, and helping other
patients with sick minds to get well
by an easier process than he did.

STREET LITTER AND
STREET .SWEEPINGS.
I Ordinances Against Defacins of Towns
Should Be Enforced.

.. j II =
One considerable source of the dirt
and waste that must be removed from
the streets is commonly called street
litter. consisting of miscellaneous
wastes thrown upon the streets and
sidewalks by those passing along the
streets or swept out Of business houses
and residences. Street littering is eff.
fectively prevented in most European
cities by the rigorous enforcement of
laws or ordinances prohibiting it,.
Most of our American cities have such
laws and ordinances, but they are
practically dead letters Spasmodic
attempts have been made to enforce
them in number Of cities, but public
opinion has not sufficiently sustained
these efforts, nor have the municipal
authorities, as rule, made their en-
forcement practicable by providing an
ample supply of receptacles into which
such litter may be deposited.
An important step in this direction
must be the collection Of more COM
plete and accurate data as to the guam
tity of such litter handled and the adj
ditional cost of collecting it when

SYSTEM COUNTS IN

PAST METHODS OUT OF DATE
(Ry A. E. WOODS. Dean, Department

~ OF A9fiCulfufe.)
In the past most farming was con-
Quoted with very little regard to sys-
TEN. The staple crops were grown
year after year on the same land, Of
ten without manure, until the soil
failed TO produce satisfactory crops,
VIXEN it was suIned into pasture or al
lowed to ruIz wild and produce weeds
to seed the Il st of the farm. No books
We're kept aEd the cost of production
was unknown, The farmer took what
he could. get for his product, often
less than the cost of production. Now,
science and business are being applied
to the arts of agriculture with in
creasing thoroughness and skill.
The modern farmer must know the
type of farming to which he himself
is best adapted and where it can be
conducted most proftably. If he is
a dairyman he must know the milk
breeds Of cattle and the best strains
for his conditions. He must know
all the sanitary regulations for keep
ing his milk pure and marketing it
in the best condition He must fig
ure out the rotations of crops adapted
to his conditions and his needs with
due regard to maintaining the fertil-
1ty of his SOIL He. must know the
demands of his market and be able
to get his products to the consumer
without all the profits being absorbed
IN the process.
The farmer will always have to
deal with many forces and conditions
only partially controllable even by
men Of the greatest knowledge and
skill, but he has before him for de-
velopment wonderful field in this di.
rection and he is cultivating it with
a zest before unknown.

CHILDREN COLLECTING STREET LITTER.
thrown upon the streets. In New York
city the street cleaning department
has given attention to this matter and
estimates that the additional cost thus
imposed on the department amounts
approximately to $27O,OO0 annually.
This very large sum could be saved to
the city yearly by providing conven-
lent receptacles for litter and then en-
forcing the ample ordinances already
existing. European experience has
proved beyond doubt that this may be
done without imposing any serious in
convenience upon the public.
When it is considered that this litter
is handled by human hands or is swept
out of residences and business places
and is therefore subject to infection by
disease germs the sanitary Importance
of collecting and disposing of it as di-
rectly as possible is obvious.
The possible utilizstion Of street
: sWeepings in some way that will partly
repay the cost Of street cleaning is
another matter that is receiving more
attention than heretofore. The most
promising outlook for such utilization
lies in the direction of filling lowlands
or building up new and very valuable

present not useful for any purpose

that street cleanings free from garbage

Interest is likely to be aroused very
shortly by the proposition of Col.
Goethals, and others connected with
the Panama Canal work, that the
zone which has been cleared and de-
veloped, shall with the completion Of
the canal be abandoned to nature.
The proposition is to drive off the
slip all settlers or people not. conected
with the canal work and let the
jungle once more over whelm the can
al.
That proposition has not yet come
before the American people. 1t mas
not even been debated in Congress,
but the Commission has been proceed
ing calmly with its arrangements, as
though the program were definitely
fixed. The argument advanced by
Col. Goethals and other military ex-
perts is that the Canal is primarily
a military work. That the Canal
/ Zone exists only be cause of and for
the Canal, and should be SO governed
as to protect the dams and locks from
any treacherous assault is admitted.
The advocates OF the depopulaticn
program insist that with a residence
on the Zone refused to any save those
employed by the Commission and. sub
ject to it's daily control, with:4the
land grown up once more intoqyan
| impen etrable jungle so that access to
the Canal can be had only through its
{ two ends, or by the Panama Railroad
both easily guarded-the Canal
will be safe from the dynamiter hired
by some hostile government.
It may be SO. but there is another
side to the question. The Canal Zone
is an out post Of a high civilization in
the tropics. It affords object leG-
sonsto the neighboring republics Of
Ctral American in architecture, san
itation, road building, education, civil
government and indeed all the prac-
tical arts that go to make a State
comfortable and prosperous. With
out intention to offend any of the
neighboring States it may fairly be
said that the Zone, if maintained &C
cording to its present standards
should exercise an Influence for good
on all Of them. 1t is the little
heaven that may leaven the whole
lump.
Undoubtedly there will be field
for skilled agricultural endeavor
there. Col. Goethals estimates the
necessary force for the operation OF
the Canal 200. For the operation
of the Panama Railroad n 1913 five
thousand men were required but with
the cessation of Canal work this num-
Der would be largely reduced. Pro
badly 600 men would constitute the
working force Of both Canal and rail.

Many real estate firms and tract own

road. a working force. of that num-
|ber would create a population of
about $4,000. There is further the
military force to be considered. Col.
Goethals renuously urged that 49,
coo MI be kept onth Isthmus per-
|manently, but the opinion Of Con-
Egress, toward the period of the open.
ing of the Canal, seemed to be, that
about 1000 would be sufficient. In
all probability the latter figure will
be the smallest number of men that
will go to make up the military esta-
/ blishment. ii.
There is every reason to believe
that at Balboa particularly the.
shipping interests will create large
land prosperous town, while already
the cities of Panama and Colon, geo
graphically part Of the Zone, though
politically independent, have a popu-
[lation of at least 10000 5..=
When the Canal is once in opera
Ition there will be from $4,000 to
100000 people on the Zone to fur
nish a market for the food products
that can be raised on that fertile strip
of land. Today the vegetables of the
temperate zone are brought 5000.
miles to the Zone jewellers, sometimes
in cold storage but chiefly in cans.
AS for those who live in the Panama
towns and are denied access to the
ECommissary, they getfresh vegetables
only from the limited supply furnish
ed by the few Chinese market gar
ldens. According to the Department
Of Agriculture nearly all vegetables
of the temperate cline and all trop-
Eical fruits can be grown on the Zone
Lands. This being the case it seems
| a flat affront to civilization and to
the Intelligent utilization of natural
resources to permit these lands to re-
vert to the jungle, and force our
citizens and soldiers in these tropic
lands to go without health giving
vegetable food that could easily be
raised in the outskirts Of their towns
and camps. OF the sufficiency of
the market for the out put of all the
farms for which the Zone has space
and arabic soil there can be no doubt,
for to the townspeople, the Canal OPP
eratives and the garrisons there will
be added the ships which reach Colon
or Balboa after long voyages and with
larders empty of fresh green vegeta-
bles.
Doubtless there will be some dis
Icussion before acquiescence is given
to the military proposition that the
Canal Zone as large as the State of
Indiana-shall be allowed to revert
to jungle, be given over to the SER
pent, the sloth and the jaguar. That
would be sorry anti-climax to the
work of Gorgas in banishing yellow
fever and malaria and Goethals in
showing how an industrial commun-
ity may ben organized, housed and
fed.
