health PROPAGANDA

There is natural establishment at the
attempt of the mayor of New York to
abolish the educational activities OF
the city health department The mat
ter is considered so vital that the fed
eral government has threathened to
interfere, and medical men everywhere
have fastened to protest
Such a reactionary move, writes the
president of the American Medical
Association, would be "a catastrophe
at any time, bpt especially now when,
more than ever before, it is necessary
to safeguard and maintain the health
of the citizens of the United States"
The incident will probably result in
good rather than harm. 1t is inc0n-
ceivedable that the New York mayor,
whatever his motive may be, can put
over so reactionary measure. His
attempt merely serves to provide
widespread publicity for one Of the
most promising public movements of
modern times, the education of the
general public in matters affecting
human health.
Thanks to the efforts along this line
made by federal, state and municipal
governments, with the cooperation Of
the medical profession, knowledge Of
the fundamental rules of hygiene is
becoming as common as it was once
uncommon 1t is coming to be under
stood that health is less matter OF
pills and hospitals than of sensible
living, depending mostly on such sim
pie factors as food, air, exercise and
sleepAs a result, the average health
of American communities, as shown
by illness and mortality statistics,
has greatly lessened in the last few
years. There will be further improve
ment exactly in proportion to the
further educational of men, women and
children in the art of taking care of
their own health.

STEADY EMPLOYMENT THE ANS


Actual figures offered on the loss to
manufacturing concerns, railways, etc.
caused by the hiring and firing" habit
are starting. A writer in Engineer
ing and Contracting" asserts that the
railroads alone have paid as high as
$40 900 annually for the wasteful
pratice of labor turnover.
The turnover In factories runs from
so up to 400 per cent of the total num-
Der CT people actually needed for pro-
duction. The railways employ annually
a million more men than they have
places to fill, this huge number of
shifting employees representing a
serious handicap and loss in n~ay
and efficiency.
1t costs $40 to replace an unsklled
laborer. $500 to replace one skilled in
year in one industry alone!
Facing such facts, employers are
studying the turnover problem. They
are coming to realize that it's cheaper
to train an incompetent worker to fill
his job satisfactorily than it is to keep
on trying out a series of incompetents,
until the man for the job is found.
The problem is of special impor-
tanec in these days when labor is so
essential to all our progress in winn-
ing the war Steady employment is
needed to prevent loss of time and
material and product For the worker
himself. his family and the commun-
ity in which they live, the loss of this
constant shifting from job to job is
equally serious, although there is no
means of measuring it. Steady employ
ment is his key to progress and self
respect

HURTING RURAL SCHOOLS

A meeting which called itself the
annual session of the Farmers Union
recently held in Atlanta. but which
was in reality attended by very few
people, but itself on record as opposed
to local taxation for the schools and
favoring a larger state aid. This was
but crystalizing of an idea that has
existed for years and has had more to
do with holding Georgia down to the
foot of the list of states in the matter
of illiteracy than other thing.
This is misguided effort and one
that would mean the absolute destruc-
ton of the common schools in all the
sections where they are now main
tanned in good form by local taxation.
If any change in state aid should take
place. il should be the withdrawal of
the state fund and a larger increase
in the local taxation. But nobody
wants to with draw what the state is
giving for all of it is yet not half
enough TO provide good schools,-the
kind of schools the boys and girls OF

Contracts for 1,O25 freight and pas
senger locomotives, the largest order
ever placed in the history of Ameri-
can railroads, have been let by the
federal railroad administration. That
is good news to a nation that has al
most given up hope of adequate trans
portation facilities Deliveries will be-
gin in July and continue throughout
the year Nearby all of the new engines
are expected to be available for lraul
ing freight next winter If they are
the situation will be much improved
over last winter. Most of them will be
assigned to eastern roads, where tire
shortage of motive power is greatest
The locomotives will not bear the
initials or emblem of any individual
railroads, but the simple and signifi
cant initials "U. s." with identifying
numbers. That will be visible proof
that our railroads, for the present al
least, have been really nationaIized
These "U. s." locomotives will not he
owned by the government, however
but by all the railroads jointly.
Another significant thing. perhaps
the most important of all, is that they
mark the beginning of standardization.
The locomotives ordered are said to
consist of six newly developed stan,
dard types, intended ultimately to re-
place many times that number of
types. Heretofore every big railroad
has had penchant for designing its
own engines. Standardization. of course
will mean a great saving in manufac'
ture and repairing.
The administration is introducing
the same principle into the production
of freight cars. of which 100000 recent
ly been ordered, and expects to make
a big gain in simplicity and efficiency
in all kinds of rolling stock.

IL there is a man among our citizens
who would cut the local school fund,
let him go where he is needed. The
boys and girls of Crisp need every
dollar Of their school fund.- and twice
that much more, so they can have
better teachers, and better paid teach
ers, and longer school term.
OF this thing the Atlanta Constitu'
ton has this to say:
"The utter and absolute fallacy OF
the theory that the public schools
must be supported, exclusively X state.
wide taxation-a thing which exists
in no other state in the union-is
shown, in the fact that If every penny
raised by the statewide taxation, UP
on the constitutional limit, were appli
ed to school purposes, taking every
dollar away from every other branch
of the state administrative organiza
ton, including all offiials' salaries
and the appropriations for all public
institutions, charitable and otherwise
our country school system would not
begin to compare in efficiency with
that of the cities and towns!
Reduced to it's last analysis, the
motive underlying this whole move
ment against local school taxation tc
supplement state aid, is inspired and
fostered by few sinflint landowners
and taxpayers on large interests who
place higher value upon few dol
lars than upon the physical and intel
lectual welfare of the country boys
and country girls of the counties in
which they live, and in which they
would have to pay their pro rata OF
special taxes for educational pur
poses!
Some of them have no children, and
if they had, they would not be DEEPEN
dent upon local facilities for their
children's education; land they are
fighting the county taxation policy be-
cause they would escape the payment
of the extra taxes it entails to educate
the. children of the masses.
The Constitution supports the prin'
ciple in behalf of the rural childhood
of this state-the boys and girls of the
country, who, we maintain, are entitled
to something they are not getting; who
deserve and are entitled to oppOrtnni-
ties and educational advantages fully
on a party with those enjoyed by the
boys and girls of the cities and towns;
and who can get it in no other way
than by the local tax system supple
menting state aid"
