HYGIENIsTs PLAN CAMPAIGN

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-An aggres-
.sive nationwide campaign to improve
the health and efficiency of 100000
900 public school children in the Uni
ted States will be launched at Buff
falo during the week of Aug. 25, ac-
cording to an announcement made to-
day by DIR. Thomas A. Storey of the
College of the City of New York, in
statement giving the detailed plans
of the fourth international congress
on school hygiene.
The urgent need of school reform
viii be one of the principal topics dis
cussed by the 300 speakers on the
program at Buffalo. Attention will
be called to the prevailing bad con-
ditions in the public schools Of many
leading cities-condition which it is
declared by DR.. Storey tend to show
that taxpayers are now compelled to
pay out money at great loss on their
public school investment. In this con-
nection many speakers will point out
the findings made by the medical in
spectors in their respective communi-
ties. According to statistics which DR.
Storey received today, several million
school children are suffering from
such common troubles as eye strain
decayed teeth, distractions in the nose
and throat, skin diseases, defective
hearing and nervous diseases as well
as physical deformities.
Delegates will be asked to secure
passge of laws in every state re-
quiring all public school children to
be tested as to hearing and sight.
Special attention also will be paie
to the problem of testing school chill
dren to learn if they are mentally
fit to attend regular classes or wheth
er they should be put in special class
es for backward children.

SENSATIONAL TRIAL OPENS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 10
Highly sensational details involving
set of wealthy young high-school boys
and girls were promised by the prose-
cutting attorney today when Doctors
J. Hall and Fabrian Pratt went to
trial on charges of causing the death
of Meta Zook, 1S-year-old daughter
of a prominent business man of Kan
sas City. The physicians have been
at liberty on bonds of $4,000 since
their arrest. Two 1S-year-old high
school boys, George T. Vance jr. and
Herbert Kiger, appeared today as ma
terial witnesses for the state. The
physicians were arrested Aug. 10.
DIR. Pratt said the Zook girl consulted
him and then consulted DR.. Hall.
Pratt is 23. Hall denied before the
grand jury that he had performed an
operation on the girl. In the course
of his investigation Of the case the
prosecutor declared he unearthed a
deplorable state of affairs regarding
the moral conditions existing in one
of the Kansas City high schools.

MASTER OF LANGUAGES

PARIS, Aug. 16.-The aged En-

languages than any other monarch ac-
cording to a newspaper here. He
speaks German, French, Hungarian,
Czech, Polish, Servian, Croatian, Ru-
thenian, Dalmatian, Roumanian and
Italitn. He knows little Hebrew but
does not speak English. King Ferdi-
dand of Bulgaria knows several Slav
dialects, Frenchc, German, Russian
and English. King Peter Of Servia
speaks the same languages. The czar
of Russia is master of scores Of Rus
sian dialects, French, German, Eng
lish and several Slav dialects. Kaiser
Kilhelm speaks German, English,
French, Latin, Russian and Polish flu
emily. King Alfolso Of Spain speaks
Spanish, English and French. There
appear to be no statistics as TO the
linguistic liabilities of King George Of
England.

1911 RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION

Statistics issued by the bureau Of
railway news and statistics show that
the United States led in the matter of
total amount of railroad construction
during the year 1911, during which
the total amount of new railroads
constructed in the world was 1871
miles, of which 1894 miles was built
in the United States. Europe built
3,100 miles, British East India 2,399
miles, Africa 2,232 miles, Argentina
$3.50 miles, Australia 864 miles and
Canada 620 miles. At the close Of
1911 the total railroad mileage Of
the world was 655,842 miles, and at
that time the United States contained
246,000 miles of track, as against
100000 miles in Europe.

PROGRESS Is ELECTRI-
flying STEAM RAILROADS

If we bear in mind the many diff
cult problems and the great cost in
volved in changing from steam to cleo
trio operation on railroads, 1t must
be admitted that this country has
made great strides in this direction.
A recent estimate places the total
number of miles Of single track that
has been changed from steam to cleo
trio operation at about 1900 miles,
and the same authority finds that ap-
proximately 1900 miles Of single rail-
road track will probably, during the
next few years, be subjected TO the
same change. Too much credit can
not be given to the New York Gen.
trail and the New Haven railroads for
the courageous pioneer work which
they undertook in this direction.

ROOSEVELT ON RAILWAY RATES

Theodore Roosevelt in The Outlook:
In certain cases workmen's compen-
sation laws and full crew bills are
passed by Legislatures at the same
time that rates are reduced by com
missions, or indeed sometimes by leg
islative enactment, until the property
ceases to pay.
Now q cardinal point made by all
enlightened advocates of such laws as
workmen's compensation and the like
has always been that the burden is
to be distributed through the corpora
ton upon the public. Public service
commissions are created for the very
purpose of supervising, controlling
ana regulating the activities Of the
railways 80 that they shall not only
be obliged to treat their employees,
the shareholders and the general pub
lie fairly, but shall be guaranteed
fair treatment themselves in return.
Some railways are SO remunerative
that it is fair to reduce their rates at
the same time that we increase their
burdens. There are other railways as
to which the only effective way to
distribute the burden Of payment for
extra safety to employees and the pub
lie, and extra compensation to and
care Of the workers, is by rendering
the service more remunerative; and
this may of necessity mean raising
rates.
This (regulation up as well as down,
By commission, not legislature), is
merely part of the general doctrine Of
administrative control Of big corporta-
tions. The control should not be hos
tile to the corporation; it should mere
ly be hostile to any misconduct on
the part of the corporation, and it
should protect the corporation against
misconduct aimed at it exactly as it
protects others from misconduct COM
mitted by it. Our purpose
is TO see that there is proper di-
vision Of property. But there can be
no division unless the prosperity is
there to divide. One of the methods
hy which the prosperity will certainly
| be abolished is to draw the line against
size and efficiency instead Of against
misconduct. Another way to destroy
II Is to impose burdens, however nee
sssary and proper, without facing the
fact that some one must pay for thu
burdens, and that II the investor car
not pay for them and at the same tims
get reasonable return on his invest
ment, then either the business vii
close or the public must share tn
bardsn with the investor.

anced and an inveterate user of drugs
and drink; Goldsmith was called "the
inspired IDIOT" Rousseau and Oscar
Wilde were moral and mental perverts
of the lowest order. Shakespeare was
highly immoral in that he had an il
legitimate daughter. 1t is hardly nee
essary to refer to Byron and Robert
Burns, for their drunkenness and the
open immortality of Byron are too well
known.
1t is true that all these ills come
down through heredity but along with
them come that thing which has com
PEELED every advancement in the world
of literature, art, science and inven-
ton. The question of why great tai
ent seldom accompanies physical
health has never been answered.
The present agitation over eugenics
is not new. 1t began in Sparta be-
fore the time of Christ, when, in
order to attain physical perfection as
race, all cripples or weak or de-
formed babies were exposed on the
mountain tops to die or receive
strength from the gods. None but
the strongest were allowed to marry.
This system produced the greatest
physical giants Of history, the most
perfect animals of all time, but men
tally the race became dwarfed; their
brains went to seed. They produced
TO really great men, and distinguished
themselves only in war and feats of
strength.
If the plans of the eugenics en-
thusiasts were carried out in the one
matter of prohibiting marriage of per-
sons who drink, 60 per cent of the
American people would be old maids
and bachelors. 1t is evident from
this how long it will be before such
n law becomes general.
And if the nation does get u law
compelling every man and woman to
produce a physicians certificate, il
Will not accomplish the desired re-
suit, for doctors certificates are cheap
these days. Any couple intent upon
getting married could get fifty cer-
tificates in day despite their state
of health, if they had the price.
Only by training young men into
j full and complete knowledge Of the
sin committed against the next gen
Grafton by marrying diseased per
SOM, can the race be strengthened.
Laws contrary to the fundamental in
stin,ts always have been violated and
always will be. The instinct to have
strong, healthy children must be cul-
tivated. Marriage will then occur only
between men and women capable OF
becoming parents of the right kind
of children.

SAYS GENIUS MAY RESULT
FROM DEFECTIVE PARENTS
United Press

United Press
DENVER, Aug. 16.-lf such a law
as that recently passed in Wisconsin
forbidding the marriage of diseased
persons and compelling the seriliza-
ton of detectives had always been en-
forced, three-fourths of the worlds
greatest geniuses would never have
been born! This was the opinion ex-
pressed today by DR.. Paul S. Hunter,
secretary of the state board of health,
as an answer to the statement of Sur
geon General Blue in which the sur
geon declared that this country must
stem the propagation of detectives
and that the Wisconsin law is the cor
rect answer. DR.. Hunter declares that
love will laugh at laws just as he has
laughed at locksmiths. Following is
DR.. Hunters statement:
Theoretically / am heartily in IA
vor of prohibiting the marriage OF all
men and women who cannot show a
clean bill of health, but it does not
work out in practice. The strongest
parents bring forth puny children;
the most moral produce immoral off
spring. The old joke about the min
ister's son" is founded on history.
On the other hand, many of the
weakest fathers and mothers, while
transferring their weaknesses such as
drunkenness, insanity, perversion and
all the traits Surgeon General Blue
says would be eliminated by law, also
pass on the "divine spark that has
lighted the path of progress since
time began.
In fact, genius, nine times out OF
ten is very closely allied with i'll
health, criminality, insanity or drunk
enness. There are very few OF our
greatest poets, musicians, painters
authors, and other artists who were
not afflicted with some weakness
which was inherited from the parents
Wagner, Dean Swift and Charles
Lamb were insane; Keats and Robert
Louis Stevenson died of inherited tn.
