Editor the Missourian: Much pub
lie and private discussion has been
directed this season to the miserable
sanitary conditions in Columbia.
There is much sickness. As mea-
sure of precaution is it too much to
ask the teachers in the University to
watch carefully the ventilation of their
classrooms? The fact that the Uni
versity buildings are not equipped
properly for thorough ventilation does
not lessen the fact that the air which
the students are compelled to breath
during the class hour is in the major
ity of cases foul and unfit for the
lungs.
Foul air full of poisonous gases is
very unhealthy and persons remain
ing in it soon become drowsy, yawn.
and complain of headache. The con-
tinuous breathing of foul air into the
lungs weakens the resistance of the
body to disease. The prevalence of
sickness among students may be yery
well traced. in part, to improper ven
tilation.
Most of the classrooms are not
equipped with thermometers, or. if
hey are, they are wholly disregarded.
The temperature in a classroom
should not be allowed to rise above
IS or 20 degrees. In most rooms il
S nearer so by the time the class has
'een in session a half hour. The |
ooms should be filled with fresh air
While they are empty and the windows
hould be opened sufficiently from the
op at all times to allow the warm
nd foul air to escape. W. NJ A.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MEXI.
: CAN Poems.

IA lazy. drunken lot of worthless
brutesp
That is the way the foreigners in
Mexico are accustomed to speak of
the Mexican native-the peon. An
article in the Mexican Review pro-
ceeds to tell the truth about these
misrepresented people.
For centuries the peon has been a
slave. In his entire life he has not
seen as much money that could his
own as an American laborer receives
in week. Always in debt, he has &C
copied the rough, scanty food doled
out to him, lived and died almost
as the dumb animals with which he
worked.
But how can the people be so sure
that the poems are by nature slothful,
lazy, unambitious?
A force of poems employed in the
bridge construction, being dissatisfied
with their regular daily wage asked
the manager to give them task work,
instead of paying them by the day.
The paymaster was instructed to
accomplished. A list was posted de-
claring that SO many buckets of the
gravel etc., would be regarded as n
days work, no matter how long it
took the poems to accomplish the task.
There were startling results. Many
men finished work at eleven o'clock,
having done twenty-five per cent
more work than at the old rate. The
rest finished ut three. After having
gained days pay in five hours, the
majority asked to continue to work
and get another half day. This was
gladly accorded them.
1t was interesting TO watch them.
The slow-moving, sullen-faced men
took on new vigor and life. Good-na-
tured taunts and badinage were ex-
changed and the laggards were slim
ulated to renewed eXertion.
In Yucatan, for the first time since
the Spanish conquest. these people
have been given chance, and it
shows that qualifications are in them.
BY government regulations the hours
of labor and the wages are so fixed
that at three o'clock man is thru
work and received the wage of $3.75.
Many of the men go home, take u
bath, (the regular daily custom), don
snow-white cooton garments and then
well, what would the men of like
class in the United States do? There
is at least one thing they woul' not
do, and that is, go to school. Yet that
is exactly what hundreds of these
Yucatan poems are doing, and n}r III.
frequently their wives go with 'iem.

SHALL BOHEMIA BE FREE?

Among the many races and nations
that go to make up Austria, two
great peoples stand out-the Hun
garians and the Bohemians-about
equal in population. The Hungarians
have been given absolute self-gov
eminent; the ministers of war and of
foreign affairs are jointly RESPONSE
BILE to the Austrian and Hungarian
parliaments. The Bohemians, on the
other hand, have no voice in the gov
eminent There is no Bohemian ar
my-there are only the regiments in
the Austria Hungary army. In this
war the Bohemians have been placed
under German commanders and driv-
en- forth to fight in a cause they de-
test; and in every Bohemian regi-
ment there are incorporated forty
per cent of Germans and Austrians
and Hungarians to watch and control
them.
Why is Bohemia cut off from any
part in the Empire and held in sub
jugation by the Hungarians?
The story is told that, when the
compact was made between Austria
and Hungary, an Austrian statesman
said to his Hungarian colleagues:
"If you look after your barbarians,
We'll look a1Cer ours. IneSe were
the Czechs and the Slovacs, the for
mer being assigned to Austria and
the latter to Hungary.
But the Bohemians were not bar
barians. They had a great universe
ty at Prague. In no nation is the
number of illiterates so small; it is
less among the Bohemians themselves
than among the Germans who live in
Bohemia. Dvorak. the musician, and
Comenius, one of the first and the
greatest educators, were Bohemians,
and so was John Huss, the first man
to give the world the idea of religious
freedom.
The future of Bohemia is one Of
the most interesting questions of the
war. What will the peace conference
do for this spirited, intelligent, and
gifted people?

TROUBLES OF THE ONLY CHILD

"The only child is thee bject of
constant and superhuous concern; it
is enveloped in exaggerated tender
ness" writes DR.. George w. Jacoby
in Child Training as An Exact Sci
ence. "The parents are in despair
when its screams give evidence of
displeasure; they are blind to its
faults, they marvel at the most in
significant output Of its mental life
as an expression of genius. Small
wonder if the only child looks upon
itself very early as the center of the
universe, makes inordinate demands
on every one, and has violent out
bursts of anger when its desires are
opposed. Education, Of course,
should affect at least the control of
ones impulses and passions; but the
educational result of such coddling
and spelling is to give the child's
passions and faults undecided, and,
incapable of persistent work. Also,
as result of pampering, the bodily
resistance of the child becomes low
cred.
"a danger little considered, but
none the less real. is the preclusion
of children from the companionship
of other children of their own age,
,bliging them to associate entirely

people. Not one of these but is APP

them voluntary of the great and
progressive company which has re-
claimed a wilderness and transformed

millions into the cuts, trstles, and the
tunnels of the Clinch Valley Division
and millions more to make that divis-
ion effective as it is today-one of

Of this great county, when founded

iciency of the service, and hence ut
the instance of the men who have
contributed so much to the success
of it's development, embody their
consensus of will and patriotically
considered suggestion into this men,
oria.
The stock yards at Tazewell ncces-
sarily constructed by the growth of
the town, which has grown up around
them have become totally inadequate
to the service for which they were
intended and aside from all humani-
TARTAN, sanitary and municipal con-
siderations should be removed from
or west of North Tazewell, where the
necessary conditions of water, space
and accessibility may be met.
To particulariZe-at present there
is room only in the low and undrain-
ed basin the yards occupy for the
handling of five car loads of cattle,
and even this number is handled with
unnecessary difficulty and delay, be-
cause there is no shipping ally
provided and none possible.
Frequently 2 and % car loads of
cattle are assembled here for ship
ment, and are necessarily handled
with great difficulty and loss in the
adjacent streets and alleys. These
memorialists believe that the contin-
uance of the stock yards in their pres
ent position should depend only on
the ability of the company to effect
the necessary change and. will be glad
to meet and confer with officials who
they trust will make an early and
earnest investigation of the matters
herein presented.
Respectfully,
HENRY M. SMYTHE.
