The subjects mentioned may be
made interesting to the country as
well as the city schools and as much
benefit derived from such talks In
the one as the other.
The health oficer or some pnysi
clan is much better prepared. or
should be. than anyone not having
had the necessary training to give
such instruction.
II should be made obligatory that.
where the public schools have not
made provision for such work and
instruction. particularly In rural dis
tricts. that the health oficer or some
competent person should give such
talks or lectures, once a week or
more.
Meetings for the instruction OF
health officers and members OF
health boards should be held at least
twice year at some convenient
point and the necessary expense OF
such officers betrayed by the city or
township represented.
To preserve the public health and
prevent the ingress of contasion,
health officials must be on the alert
and not be afraid OF doing more
than the law requires. The little
matters In sanitation and hygiene
often require attention more than
conditions recognized by the public
at large.

il the Rates Were Right, the
System Would Be Wrong

S OyStCm WOulO Dc WIOuS
It's q very pretty argument that the
Michigan State Telephone Co. makes foI
\ n increase in rates.
Its chief feature is that it doesn't make
X Gnough money to pay interest on its
h bonds, not to mention dividends on its
Utock.
And it shows its table of operating
E x0venues and expenses for the year end.
n Nc July 81. 1914. with a deficit of $780,
Az, to prove its point.
On the strength of this showing, and
y - appraisal by hired expert, it asks
the state railroad commission for per-
4 xni1sion to raise its rates.
Now this Is what the people of Detroit
EnSe up against. in this question of rates !:
An appraisal not by a non-partisan
npert employed by the Michigan state
x1ihoad commission. but by the COM
$nyss own expert, chosen and paid by
~ company.
- statement OF expense prepared by
1Eo company, which shows how much
6ney was earned and how much was
b mt, but does not show how much was
Cent extravagantly or how much was
ymngted.

Neither does it intend now to dispute

z9ok the fact that it contains such large
IA indefinite items as General and mis-

The Times merely wants to point out
HAT when public service corporation
n6ts such state board as the Michigan
4 railroad commission for permission to
1afse its rates, the company has three
xold advantage.

Can anything be more palpably absurd

Under such an arrangement, public
FGorvlce corporation can be as extrava-
rant and wasteful and careless as the
y pub1ic's ignorance of its business will
