Thomas Nelson Page, in Scrbner's Magazine
Washington went about the work with
his usuai care and began by laying down
lines of experiment, beginning at the
courthouse in Alexandria in Virginia
and following courses which he himself
determined.
Fortunately for the country. the men
who were to have most to do with the
planning of the federal city were men OF
large ideas Washington. Jefferson and
Madison saw the future of this country
with eyes in which it doomed large.
In laying out the city it was decided
to do so on a large plan, with view to
the future greatness of the capital OF
the nation Washington himself believed,
as he wrote his friend, MIR. Fairfax, that
in a century. should the country keep

NEW ENGLAND ROADS
SUBJECT OF REPORT
Passenger Service Good; Freight In
ferior; Rates Hisher-Nsw havsas
Financial Operations WastefuL

The report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission undertaken consequences
Of complaints touching on general rail-
road conditions in New England was
made public yesterday. The investiga-
ton was instituted under the Interstate
Commerce Commissions general author
ity to investigate and report.
A digest of the report submitted by
the commissioners dealing with the mat
tiers involved in the investigation ana
their findings follows:
/. While there is room for improve
ment New England should be well sat
isfied on the whole with the passenger
service OF the New Haven and the Bos-
ton and Maine lines. Safety of opera
ton has not been considered.
2 The freight service upon the New
Haven railroad is inferior to what II
should be. although fairly comparing
with that in other sections where con-
ditions are substantially the same. The
freight service upon the Boston and
Maine Railroad during the period COW
cred was extremely poor. and justified
In a great measure the criticisms II re-
ceived; but a very earnest attempt Is
being made to correct these conditions
which has already produced results.
g. The local freight rates OF New Eng
land are slightly higher than. but on the
whole compare favorably with. the aver
age in Official classification territory;
they are lower than those In other parts
of the country except the commission
made rates in certain States. The long
distance rates are lower from and to
New England than from and to any
other section. Its passenger fares have
been more favorable to the local travel
ing public than in any other portion Of
the United States.
T. The outside financial operations Of
the New Haven Company for the last
nine years have been wasteful in the
extreme, and the methods by which
those operations have been conducted
are unnecessarily involved and complex.
While expenditure on its road and equip
ment has been with a free hand. there
10 nothing to show that 1t has not been
wisely made. and much to indicate that
the result has fully justified the outlay.
The financial condition Of this company
calls for careful consideration and pru-
dent action. but gives no occasion for
hysteria.

This Weeks Bulletin Of the
Health Departnent.

in this weeks bulletin Of the Health De-
partment. The bulletin warns that sum-
mer intestinal disturbances among in

ed out that babies should be nourished in

cleanliness.

PLANS FOR CONGRESS
ON SCHOOL HYGIENE
Work to Be Undertaken at Meetins
in Buffalo in August Is Being
Named Out.

In a current issue of the American
Academy of Medicine Bulletin. Dr. Thorn
as A. Storey. Of the College Of the City
of New York. contributes the leading
article of the month on the subject OF
The Fourth International Congress on
School Hygiene" DR.. Storey, who Is
secretary general of the congress. writes:
The Fourth International Congress on
School Hygiene will be held in the United
States this coming August. because the
Mayor Of the City Of Buffalo sent a dele
gate to the Third International Congress
on School Hygiene held in the City of
Paris during the month of August in
1870 inviting the permanent international
committee having charge Of these con-
crosses TO hold the next one In the City
OF Buffalo. Several public-spirited citi-
zens of Buffalo personally guaranteed the
expense of this congress. The American
School Hygiene Association undertook to
organize the program and look after the
scientific exhibit The permanent inter-
national committee accepted the invita-
ton from the Mayor of the City of Buff
falo and the citizens of that municipality.
and the officers Of the American School
Hygiene Association, and are now MAX
ing every effort to support their obliga-
ton successfully.
The main emphasis in the plans for
this congress is being laid upon the ways
and means Of supplying the important
facts Of school hygiene to those people
who will use them. An energetic CAM
paign is being organized for the purpose
of bringing the objects of the congress
to the attention of public-spirited citizens
in every community in the United States
and Canadi. 1t is hoped that a wide
membership may be secured through
which the published proceedings Of this
international enterprise may be distribut-
ed to great many communities II this
membership can be made up Of people
who are interested in improving their
local school conditions II will go a long
way toward bringing to the ofiicials of
the congress a realization of their IDEAL"
Organizing committees have been FORM
cd in thirty-three foreign countries, and
In forty-five Of our States. The women's
clubs Of America have become interested
and are forming local committees on
school hygiene for the purpose OF help
ing the congress- and the same interest is
being taken by the Dental Association
of America
In conclusion. DR.. Storey says:
There are good reasons for expecting
that this congress will leave a permanent
impression upon school conditions in this
country. A number of the State organic
ing committees are contemplating per-
manent organization in the interest Of
school hygiene. The women's clubs have
the same object in view. II these various
organizations establish themselves upon
permanent basis, the influence Of this
congress will eventually be measured Ia
terms Of healthy children, happy homes,
successful citizens. and a more efiicient
community

Ambassador to Paris, will tour South
America as the representative OF the
ter was decided on several days ago and
all arrangements made, ofncials OF the
Carnegie Peace Foundation had withheld
announcement Of Mr.. Bacon's trip.
Part OF the work which the Carnegie
Foundation has taken to itself Is the
promotion of better relationships between
the United States and other countries
by means OF unoficial emissaries and
exchanges Of university professors. Mr..
Bacon was selected as being one Of the
most distinguished men Of the United
States and his task will be TO further
the mutual understandings between the
Latins and the North Americans. He
will tour all of South America, visiting
every country except Colombia, and will
meet most Of the public men Of each
country. 1t is expected that he prob
ably will deliver many lectures in Latin
American capitals.
To Start at Rio de Jsneiro.
Mr. Bacon is now on a tour around the
world. going East. He will sail from
Europe next fall for Rio de Janeiro.
there TO begin his tour Of South Ameri-
ca. 1t has been proposed that Judge
Otto F. Schoenrich, now chairman of
the Nicaraguan Mixed Claims Commits
sion. accompany him on the South Amer
lean portion of his tour. This part OF
the plan has not yet been finally ar
ranged, but will undoubtedly be def
nitely decided upon. 1t will be neces-
sary for Mr.. Schoenrich to take the
matter up with the Nicaraguan govern
ment.
Mr.. Bacon's tour OF South America
will be coincident with the visit of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. his former chief, to Bra
zil, Argentina. and Chile. The officers
of the Carnegie Foundation decided. how
ever. that as Mr.. Bacon's mission was
distinctly different in its purposes and
objects, that no change should be made
in their plans because of the announce
ment OF the Roosevelt trip.
When in the State Department and the
Diplomatic Service. Mr.. Bacon was in
tensely interested in Latin America. He
has been to Latin-American countries
before and knows well and understands
the people of those countries. who also
know and have confidence in him.
Secretary of State Bryan was not con-
suited by the officers of the Carnegie
Foundation. chief among whom is Sem
ator Root, in arranging for Mr.. Bacon's
