WASHINGTON. Dee. %. Since the
wholesale cpidcmics Of disease among
The soldiers in American camps have
been made public through reports OF
Surgeon General Gorgas Of the army
division surgeons at numerous train
ing fields have become extremely &C
tive in putting into effect precauticn-
airy measures to reduce the sick lists
OF their men.
Daily Reports Received
Daily reports arc being received at
the army medical department o; efforts
Of division surgeons to hold 20 the
minimum infection among the soldiers
In some cases special sanitary conOi-
tions are required in cities near camps
where soldiers are likely TO visit while
on leave.
Army regulations promulgated by the
medical department require that special
sanitary measures must always be rig
IDLY followed by the soldiers while m
camp, but heretofore the army santa
tion experts have confined their terri
! tory TO the military reservation. Now
however, special inspectors nave beer
detailed at some of the camps to m
quire into the sanitary conditions OF
hotels. restaurants, cafes, refreshment
establishments and barber shops pat
ronized by soldiers.
Soldiers are warned to shun any
place where unsanitary conditions are
known to exist. Proprietors Of stores
which army inspectors approve have
adopted the scheme Of posting in con
spicuous places the 80. X" Of the in
spectors in order TO be assured Of the
patronage of army men.
Expect Better Results
While no great amount of disease
has been traceable to infection from
unclean food or service. medical de
pertinent officers declare the precau
tionary measures taken by division sur
geons undoubtedly would result il
benefits to the men in the army.
Medical officers have discouraged the
sending of great quantities of perish
able fruits and foods into camps by
friends of soldiers. This practice, they
asserted. resulted in soldiers Overeat
ing or permitting the food to remain
in their barracks until it spoiled and
became a breeder Of disease.

NEW YORK. Oct. s.-Judge John F.
Hylan. Democratic candidate for Mayor.
continued his campaign last night by
reading discussion Of the Gary school
system at mass meeting under the aus
pices Of the Teachers welfare League
Al the Brooklyn Training school for
Teachers. An invitation had been ex-
tended TO all interested in the public
schools Of New York City" but not
more than $50 persons. most Of them wo-
men appeared.
Judge HyIan departed last night some
what from his prepared speech. The first
instance of this was at the very begin
ming. when. instead of commencing to
read Immediately. as he did in Pros ect
Hall the night before. he laid his manu-
script on the desk and turning to the
audience said:
Ladies and gentlemen, I am certain

reeting you and saying few words on
this occasion"
From that point on he followed HIS
manuscript closely until he directed his

said
In order to introduce the Gary sys-
TEN into our public schools. one William
Writ was brought here by Mayor Mitch

Of $4,000 for ten weeks work"
Here Judge Hylan raised his eyes
from his manuscript and introduced the
uporaneous line:
Mind you $4,000 for ten weeks
work
He began by saying that he spoke
emotonally. for he felt much. being him

declared that the present Fusion Admin

the schools and allow private influences
TO control them and So manipulate af-

System Brings Confusion
The Gary system has turned the
schools in which 1t has been installed
into confusion. not only as regards the
course Of study but in every other way
possible. 1t has taken an enormous

is being used at the same time This
IS accomplished by dividing the double
school into several divisions. BY shift
ing around these various groups it Is
claimed the whole school building can
be used intensively but It is just in this
lntensiveness that the danger lies. The
school day commences at $50 and ends
at $50. an extension for one hour over
the old plan. So that we have a six-hour
school day now instead Of a fve-hour
day.
There are two groups or two classes
IF children that use the one class room.
The first group enters the first class
room st $50. remaining until 9:2O. and
then moves to some other class room at
the top or the bottom Of the big school
building. remaining there from 9:20 to
1910.

that is necessary for going from one

the building to the top. and on rainy
days or in stormy weather the carrying
Of wet clothes. books. rubbers and UNI

and amusement. all has a tendency to
make many Of the children weary. to
become physically unfit and they are
unable to apply themselves to study or

nervous and excited. and It takes some
time for them to ouiet their nerves
and get their minds in a condition 70

Teachers Task Impossible

In the auditorium there are congre-
gated many classes for about 90 min
utes. The children vary as to age from
SIX 70 twelve years. and the teachers. no
matter how efficient they may be. can
not adapt themselves or their instruction
TO At the capacities of all. The younger
may not understand what the teacher is
talking about while on the other hand.
II the instruction is Of an elementary
kind to suit the younger ones. II will be
so much time wasted for the older ones
Therefore each child in that auditorium
receives far less benefit than he would

Poor Are Cheated

The tendency Of this so-called Gary
plan is to give the children of the poor
one kind Of education and those OF the
rich. who can afford TO place their chill
dren in private schools. another kind
of education. Those who are able to
pay Will not tolerate this system. but
will send their children to private
schools.
