Work for the Sake of Health.

Extensive alterations in the social
groups of individuals almost always
incidentally bring about changes in
their hygienic situation. AS a gen.
eral rule, when the changes are in the
direction of what we regard as social
betterment the conditions of living
are improved, sanitation is cultivated
in greater measure, and the promotion
and preservation of health follows as
a natural consequence. A study of
such movements reveals the ad-
vantages from the point of view OF
both public and personal hygiene, that
have followed the pure food crusadcs,
the campaign against alcoholism,
child welfare innovations, investiga-
tions of institutional management,
regulations of industrial conditions in
respect to hours of work, factory in
spection, etc.
There are, strange as it may seem
at first thought, certain modern in
dustrial changes which carry with
them detrimental features that are
not apparent on the surface. A
growing group among whom the
amount of muscular work done -
small in comparison with the daily
activities of their ancestors is coming
into existence. We are not referring
here to the fact that shorter hours OF
work have everywhere become the
custom--that the blacksmith who for.
merry toiled twelve hours now COM
pietes his working day in eight hours.
here are a consequence of altered
methods Of conducting business with
the modern extension of commerce.
Machinery has replaced muscle. The
development of the industries by ma
chinery has called for a different type
of human working power in which
skill rather than strength is required.
AS a modern writer has expressed it,
the bodily qualities of the worker
have been forced by the employer
more aud more into the background
of valuation. Industrial factory work
requires not SO much strong men as
persons who can perform with skill
the many small tasks which the ma
chimes have SO far not been able to
perform. Hence the tendency to en-
ploy children, half grown persons and
women.
More significant than this is the
fact that the number of those who do
little manual labor has increased
greatly This is an era of office
workers. of business and govern
mental officials whose implements are
the desk chair, pen and pencil, rather
in agriculture machinery has elimi-
mated some of the hardest types Of
manual labor. Muscular exercise,
however, is a benefit rather than a
detriment to the human economy,
says The Journal of the American
Medical Association. 1t improves The
function Of the essential organs of the
body. Hence there has arisen an un-
expected consequence, namely, the
habit of trying to avert the possible
harmfulness Of some of these changed
conditions by balancing the lack of
paid muscle work by work for
hygienic reasons, by play and sport"
The creation of work for the sake of
health sounds almost paradoxical.

SUBWAY GOES over
RY, IMPROVEMENTS

Div. supt. T. n. Lantry made III
plain to the city council this week
that the Northern Pacific had plans
for re-arranging the railroad yards
in Dickinson, erecting q new round
house and other improvements, In
cluding the much talked Of. subway,
that would cost approximately
$160, 100000. However, Mr.. Lantry
argued that the heavy expense on ac-
count Of washout damages the past
summer on this division had exhaust
ed their appropriation for the new
work and therefore the necessary
money was not available.
IT has been known for some time
that the NJ. r. would soon have to
erect new round house and sthe
changing Of tracks in the yards on
the south side has also been under
conside deration for some years.
Supt. Lantry said the N. P. ex-
pected to build the subway but they
did not want to start it this year for
reasons already mentioned and for
the further reason that money is
still rather tight in the east. He
conveyed the idea that it would he
much more advantageous to the COM
pany to do all of their new work at
/ Dickinson in one season. This is
practically what would have to be
done as when the subway goes in the
tracks in the south yard will have to
be changed. 3s5
It was finally voted that the sub
way matter could go over until next
July, when it will again be called to
the attention Of the Northern Pacific

CITY SCHOOLS OPEN TUESDAY

The city schools opened Tuesday

slight increase over the attendance
the first day Of last year. The build
|ings have undergone no changes

minor repairs. 81
This year music and drawing have
been added with Miss Laura Dumke
in charge. Miss #Dumke will have
daily classes in the high school and
will superintend the work in the
grades.
I Two new lathes have been added to
the equipment in the manual train
ing department, which will greatly
widen the scope Of the work. Here

the first day was much larger than
at any time during last year. Mr..

RURAL SCHOOLS OPEN

Tuesday was the opening day Of
the school year for As of the rural
schools. Supt. c. E. Ward has been
very fortunate in securing teachers
for the out Of town schools SO that
nearly all will be able to open on
regular dates. OF the remaining
schools about 60 will be opened by
the first of October. Most of these
have short terms, that is less than
nine months Of school, and so do not
have to open as early.
