which regularly cause large number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According TO Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this Win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health instructions.
The present epidemic" said Sur
geon General Blue, Inns taught by bit

Although the worst OF the epidemic Is
over. there viii continue to be large
number of scattered cases, many Of
them mild and unrecognized. which
will be danger spots TO be. guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation TO that after a
great fire, saying, mo fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
us the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there is dan
ger of the fire reminding from smol-
dering enbers."
"Then you fear another outbreak OF

sarily another large epidemic said
the Surgeon General, ''hut unless the
people learn TO realize the seriousness
of the danger they will he compelled TO
pay heavy death toll from pnenmo-
MIA and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
at is encouraging TO observe that
people are beginning to learn that or
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means of droplets OF
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. II
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value OF
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out of doors, the respira-
toiS ulseusts NtouSns, colus. pEtuHnO-
MIA. etc) are infrequent; in the fall,
as people begin TO remain indoors, the
respiratory diseases Increase; In the
winter, when people are prone TO stay
In badly ventilated, oyerheaied rooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent
Suitable Clothing Important.
"Still another factor in the produc-
ton OF colds, pneumonia and other re.
spiratory diseases is careiessness or ig-
norance of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
in warm rooms too heavily dressed or.
what is even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows are kept closed in order TO be
comfortably warm. This is G very In
furious practice.

and will keep on hand a supply of

He will also have a supply Of song

Peking, Feb. 2.-(Correspondence

On their recommendation General
Chang, former chief Of Picking

Of establishing quarantine stations.
Trafic on the Peking- Kalgan railway
was suspended and strict inspection
instituted on the Pekine- Hankow, line.
Quarantine stations were provided at
all approaches through the Great
Wall and staff of experienced men
sent into the district to investigate
and isolate so far as possible all .srs-

Dr. YOUNG. head Of the Union

EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY

How shall the people be made more
intelligent and efficient? The teach
ers must do all they can. So must
the preachers, the newspaper work
ers and all other folks who claim to
be able to put the folks in touch with
the sources of truth.
The question is, are we making the
best use of all the facilities?
Henry E. Jackson, of the United States
Bureau of Education, thinks that we
are not. He says the war is making
a challenge to all thoughtful people
to oraganize a better sort of world.
"The best answer to this challenge"
he continues, sis the organization of
school districts into little democracies
with the schoOlhouses as their capt.
tolls. The natural center of any
American community is the free pub
lie school building. 1t is the ideal
platform for a community forum
where citizens may go to school to
one another and freely discuss all So
cial and economic questions in order
~
to fit themselves for the responsible
ties of citizenship. 1t is the social
center for all enterprises"
Secretary Of the Interior, Franklin
K. Lane, under whose department the
Bureau Of Education works, says
Don't close the schools; use them. to
mAximum@eapacity."
The school, house IS being made
more and more the civic center of the
community. But this fact carries it's
responsibilities. The proverbial lit
tie red school house is not suited as
a meeting place for the people of the
large %populous communities of the
present. Using the school as the ly-
u of the neighbOrhood necessi-
tates a speeding up of the trend to-
wards larger and better school build
ings, and that means in general a
more generous attitude on the part
of the people to their schools. There
must be a greater willingness to in
vest money in schools. For. the school
is becoming ever a greater factor in
the development of the best side of
the life of the people. EDUCATION is
highly priced in the United States. But
portions of the United States have not
realized the full scope of. the posi-
bilities of education is the means
pf making a country safe for de-
mocracy.-News and Observer.

MISLEADING ~AFFIDAYITs

? p k# .-
Undue criticism has been made
against the local exemption board on
account of deferred classification
which many young registrants secur-
ed. 1t. should be remembered that the
local board had authority to pass only
on claims Of dependency and those
young men who secured deferred clas-
sifcation, got there on afflidaYits furn-
ished the district board at S~tatesville.
This has caused criticism, some Of
which is righteous and just, because
of misleading afidavits. Friends were
asked to make cetrain statements
which they would not have consented
to make had it not been out Of friend
ship for the registrant and the par
ents. The conscience has dashed
some of these atlantis and they have
been bold enough to say so. You can
not expect fair and impartial CLASH
1cation by the district board when
claims of deferred classification on
industrial and agricultural ground are
supported by false and misleading af-
fdavits. .-~-
There will be a day of reckoning
and young men who think they are
safe from service when other brave
boys have marched up like heroes to
the defense Of their country win have
to do their part. The war must and
will be won il it takes all classes and
widening of the age limit to do it.
