Federal Expert Wants Schools Open All
the Year.

P"
the Year.
Washington, Jan. 25. Cha
racterizing the prrctice of closing
public schools in summer as
primitive and preposterous"
and declaring the most import
ant problem of to-day was to
keep the city boys from three
months contamination in the
streets, P. P. Claxton, commits
sioner of the United States Bu-
reau of Education, to-day ap-
proved a plan which would mean
continuous school sessions and
through which 1000, 600 children
might be enlisted in vocational
work.
A program for summer voca-
tional work of public school chill
dren was submitted to the COM
missioner by Clyde Alison Mann,
secretary of the American Society
for Thrift. He approved the
idea and expressed the belief
that one vocational teacher in
each school should be employed
all the year.
These teachers should teach
nature study and the principles
of horticulture, - said Mr.. Clax-
ton, going from home to home,
supervising garden work, and
continuing work during summer
vacation.
Public schools of the country
represent an investment in build
ings, grounds and equipment of
nearly $1,000, OOO,0OO and this
investment stands idle about one
quarter of the time for no other
reason than that in the primitive
days both teachers and pupils
were needed on the farms three
or four months in the summer.
For schools gardening the
equipment is a small item, and
vacant lots of the city, now idle,
would be better for cultivation. :"
Mr.. Claxton pointed out that
in Europe public schools last year
produced 500, COO, 600 through
their vocational work. He esti-
mated that probably 1000, 600
children could be enlisted in the
United States within a few years
and that their labor would yield
$40, 0OO, COO annually.

ONE REGISTRATION
TO Be HELD IN 1914
Date Will Fall on Monday,
October 5, Twenty-nine
Days Before Election.

There will be only one registration
in 1914, in accordance with the regis
tration act passed in 1913, unless
voters petition for one or two pre-
vious registrations. The law provides
that the registration shall be held
twenty-nine days before election. AS
the election falls on November this
year, the registration will be held Oc-
tober 5.
The county commissioners, however,
will not take up the appointment of
registration boards this year until the
August session. In former years, it
was their duty to appoint the regis
tration board early in the spring.
The registration board calls for two
clerks and an inspector. The clerks
will be of different political parties and
each of the two parties casting the
largest vote at the last preceding gen.
eral election will be allowed to ap.
point one for each registration place
A room in each precinct will be pro
vided for registration purposes by the
county commissioners, and probably
will be the same room used for elec
tions.
Under the new law an hour has been
added to the registration period The
session previously was from 6 o'clock
in the morning until o'clock at night
but the registration polls will now be
open until 9 O'Clock
,, For performing the service at the
polls the clerks receive SO a day
and the inspectors $4 a day. For nee
essary travelling, ten cents a mile by
the shortest distance between the of
ficial's residence to the auditors office
Is allowed.
Richmond being third-class city
no registration for city elections is
required. However, no one not reg
! istering for the November election viii
be allowed to vote, as it is the duty
of the inspector and clerks to refuse
any votes not registered.
However, in case of sickness, affi
! davits may be provided, and it will moi
i be necessary for a person incapable
! to appear at the polls to register.

Paving North Tenth Street.

North Tenth Street was brcked last year
from H Street to the Hospital. This was done
for the most part in response to urgent appeals
made by Wayne County physicians. They said
that in many cases it is necessary to get patient
to the hospital in double quick time, if his life is
to be saved. When the street was in such con-
dition as to prohibit rapid travel by the ambu-
lance, seriously injured persons were sometimes
kept from surgical treatment so long as to make
recovery impossible
This also sometimes true of serious or
eanic troubles. In cases of appendicitis, for in
stance it is often necessary to operate within a
few moments after the condition becomes acute
In such cases, the appendix becomes distended
and is ruptured by sudden jolt. Where this
happens recovery is almost impossible
Physicians had had such experiences and in
order to avoid them in the future united to ask
for the paving of the street. So interested were
they, committee of doctors raised a sum of
money by subscription to apply on the work.
At that time, they were assured by the ad-
ministration that the street would be paved all
the way out 1t would have been completed in
this way had it not been for the remonstrances
of twelve of the fourteen resident property own
ers between F and H Streets.
1t seems that these were under the impress
sion that the property owners along the new
street from H to the hospital had not paid any,
thing toward the paving and protested against
being Disseminated against in this way. But this
was a misunderstanding. The other property
owners had been assessed in the usual way
When the demonstrators come to understand
the situation more clearly, these fourteen prop
erty owners between and H Streets will surely
agree unanimously to having the street paved,
even if it does perchance work of them a
hardship. North Tenth is an exceptional street.
To have it paved means not only convenience to
the residents, not only more economical hauling,
but may sometimes mean matter of life and
death to some unfortunate. Because of this the
community at large feels confident these peo-
pie will not insist keeping their section of the
street dangerous thoroughfare for the ambu-
lance.

Of cells, each one of which is as much separate
living creature as any man or woman.
When the most complex organism begins its
existence it starts out as single cell. This di-
vides and subdivides. Other cells come into ex-
istence and are added, and bit by Bit through
it's period of growth" new cells keep coming in
to existence until the adult organism is formed,
an organism which, as said, is in reality
community of living units.
AS this process of growth continues, the cells
come under the law of subdivision of labor. Some
are set aside for the purposes of making bone
tissue, others make skin tissue, others digestive
juices, etc.
Where tissues are needed, a large number of
similar cells combine. It is in this way that skin
tissue, muscle tissue, nerve TISSUE and bone It's
sue are formed.
But there are many functions which tissues
cannot fulfill by themselves. Consequently they
are caused to cooperate to form organ. Each
organ, the liver the heart for instance is a
combination of tissues, each one of which fulfills
d special function of the whole.
Thus the organism of a man, or brute, or a
plant is a community of individuals, each one
of which does its own work at the right time.
These cells help each other out The cells in the
digestive tract, for instance supply food to the
cells in the bone tissue, which have lost their
power to feed themselves. Bone tissue cells re-
ciprocate by giving support to the cells in the di
gestive tract.
Some living creatures have only cell.
These "un-cellular' organisms in the same
plight in which Robinson Cruesoe found himself
when thrown upon the island. Like him they
have to be their butcher, baker and architect.
But in the "multi-cellular' organism such as
mans body, the cells live in true community
work in harmonious cooperation with each other.
Where they refuse to do this where certain class
es of cells go on strike, it were disease re-
suits. How to maintain order is as big prob
lem with the living body as it is with that larger
corporate body which we call human society.
There is no health in the organism until the cells
work harmoniously just as there is no health in
society SO long class of individuals is fight
ing another class.
If this is true you will say, if the body is not
Ia one-thing but many-thng community, how
lis it consciousness is not split up? That truly
is question hard to answer the mystery which
has perpexed the psychologist from the begin
ming. At what point and in what way the life
of all myriads of cells mets into the one life of
the individual person is absolutely unknown.
But that problem is not troubling the surgical
specialists They cut colony of living ndvidu-
ais out of body and transplant it into another
body and keep it growing. When our politicians
have developed the same skill in dealing with
the corporate body of society, we will have some
grounds to hope political and social evils will
be brought to an end.
