South Dayton, o., March %
Eight hundred dead is the average
estimate OF seven-eights OF Dayton's
undertakers, called together for a
conference today. They reported
S2 bodies had been recovered and
now are at various places in the
city. Individual estimates of the
undertakers were from 500 to 1000
but the consensus of opinion was
that 500 would be a conservative
figure.
Exploration of several recesses of
the city today by newspaper men
hardly would justify such an esti-
mate.
Orders had been issued for all
bodies to be taken to a general
morgue. established in a garage.
This had not been done, however, as
less than half the number of bodies
found, according to the undertake
ers, had been taken there today.
There has been keen competition
between undertakers for possession
Of unidentified bodies and many
bodies have been taken to undertake
ing establishments not under water.
A general call for all undertakers
to meet was sent out by John H.
Patterson, in charge of relief work,
in an effort to have the task of re-
covering the bodies organized. Thir-
ty undertakers were present, and
said they based their estimates of
the dead to a general survey of the
situation.
Louisville life savers made a trip
into Riverdale and North Dayton
sections, where 1t was feared there !
had been great loss of life. They
did not find body, and said they
believed few would be found. An
expedition of Cleveland naval re-
serves brought practically an iden-
tical report.
AS large part of the city had
been explored and information OBJ
tanned failed to bear out earlier
estimates of great life loss the an
nouncement of the undertakers came
as surprise to those most familiar
with the situation. Ii
The property loss probably will
exceed $5O,0O0,0OO. This includes
damage to real estate, public works,
automobile stores and personal prop
,rty, much of which was owned by ]
he more prosperous residents: to
mercantile and jew
.lers' stock which were swept away:
'ublic utility plants and equipment.
md it includes also the cost of re-
'uilding miles of asphalt streets and
walks which were ripped from their
eds.
The loss of life is confined al
nost entirely to North Dayton, in B
abited by foreigners and laborers. p
n West Dayton, which comprises
istricts Of more substantial char :

in the fair this year will be the

horses from all over the country to
the fairs in the past years. The
big money which 1t has been neces-
sary to put into these races will be
put into other things OF greater in
terest to the people OF the county
and will better satisfy the patrons
who are responsible for its success.
1t is possible that an airship will
be one of the attractions Of the fair
again this year. Above everything
else the fair is to be a home insti-
tuition, encouraging the raising OF
the best in both agriculture and
stock and paying we'll the home peo-
pie who make the displays in these
lines. The racing will not be en-
tirely eliminated but the purses will
not be large enough to draw the
horses from the big circuits and will
encourage the racing of home horses,

The City's Natural Growth.

Brand WhitlOck in Scribner's.
Strange. is it not, that the workings Of
an impulse SO universal, a thing mankind
has been doing over and over again from
the very beginning, in every land and
age, should SO persistently be called ar
tiftcial? AS we'll call the bee hive or the
beavers dam an artifciality as the city
1t is the most natural thing in the world,
an elemental form of human association.
like the family or the tribe, built in obedi-
ence to some divine, IL obscure, instinct.
1t is the expression of mans determine
ton to free himself from the slavery OF
an Obdurate isolation, and from the thr2l-
dom Of primitive fears, the symbol of his
titanic effort to conquer nature, to rise
above the merely physical. and to release
the spirit to higher flights. In short, it
is the vast strain, the Irresistible urge of
democracy to render life more equal more
secure, more precious, in obedience to an
instinct that grows less and less OBJ
scure, as, amid the perpleXities of life,
reason and the good will of man discern
better purpose, better order and
better way.
All attempts to thwart or throttle the
instinct are in vain. 1t is not to be swept
back by bucOlic verse or hOrtatory elo-
uuence or arrested by foolish legislation.
That. as Emerson said, is 2 rope of sand,
which periSheS in the twisting. Our plain
course, rather is to trust this instinct, to
follow this spirit, for it is the spirit of
liberty, and thu processes of liberty are
aSeptic and heal their own wounds This
spirit must ere long develop, # it can
have room in which to play, what
may be called the city sense. 1t is some
thing vague and dim. unrealized as yet,
a something difficult to describe perhaps
impossible to define. 1t has nothing to
do with those superior airs. those lofty
and that certain condescen-
sion which urban sophistication breeds in
little men: ali this has been estimated at
its true value by the ruralist, and for it,
he has taken a supreme and ironic re-
venGe by that relentless. rigid rule I'm
which lie has held the city. 1t is some
thing more than than civicism or the
sense of solidarity, or mass conscious
ness; it is the expression of the COM
mon hopes and the social ardors of man
kind.

What College Life Means.
From Scribner's.

q
The idea is quite firmly held that the
advantages of college life are thing en-
tirely apart from what one can learn in
college-that a student can get the best
out of his college life by not studying
very much. This deluson takes its sharp
est and commonest form in the opinion
that the high-stand man, the distin-
guished scholar in college, is not apt to
do as we'll in after life as the man who
stands lower in his class and escapes
all distinction in his studies. 1t is possible
to find parents who suggest to their sons
that il is not necessary or even desirable
10 Go we'll in academic pursuits. because
high-honor men in college never ahho"h,
10 much afterWard. Students who an
nounce this judgment at the family din-
ner table with great emphasis and album
dant scorn for those who question IL are
quite common. This delusion exists; II Is
difficult to imagine what its origin was
il is certain that it Is in the very teeth
of the facts. The writer has made re-
Gently a little investigation in regard to
the high-honor men in certain classes
in Harvard. Yale Princeton. Brown
and amherst: taking as basis the
America for 19lU-l1 1t is perfectly
true that only very small part of the
successful men are included in that book.
1t IS probably also true that some are
included in il who are not really SO very
successful after all. But for the purposes
of this inquiry the 1916 names included
in that collection are sufficient. The
charge which this popular delusion brings
against the high-honor man is that he is
inefficient in practical life. that, however
much ne may have learned out of books,
he is not able to hold down a job in
real life " Now man who is not able
10 hold down A job is just the man who
does not get into that list.

Mental Sanitation.
m the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The efforts Of sanitarians have hitherto
been directed to the discovery OF the
causes of disease and the devising or
measures for their abolition. In this man
ner cholera and the plague have been
eliminated from civilized communities.
tuberculosis presents striking example
of the results obtained by the discovery
of its cause in the earliest stage, the dis
semtna ton of knowledge regarding Its
prevention and especially the value OF
favorable environment occupation ana
mode of life in curing the disease and de-
welcoming resistance in those who are pre-
disnosed to it. Recent Investigations
demonstrate a greatly diminished mortal
ftv despite the fact that the campaign
against tuberculosis has only been active
during two decades of years.
The plan proposed to the department
of charities by Dr. Schlapp to establish
a bureau or clearing house for defec-
tive children, who are to be referred to
this bureau for study, segregation and
treatment, would be potent preventive
measure against the dangers which now
menace every community from the I'M
happy multiplication Of defective chill
dren 1t is contemplated to establish
central station under the control OF
the depa rtment of charities, to which are
TO be referred all defective children dis
covered in the schools. in dispensaries,
among immigrants and in institutions.
Here these detectives are to be care
fully examined, the extent of their dis
ability ascertained and a method Of man.
agement adapted to each individual case
devised.
The immense value of this investiga-
ton is obvious. but the chief advantage
is one that does not appear so obvious at
present. that the cases may be. traced
to adult age and the increase of defec-
tives inhibited positively under the en-
1;<rl>x
humane as they are effective. Thus the
movement would become truly hygienic.
