SHOULD SCHOOL BE HELD
ALL THE YEAR ROUND?

From the standpoint of health the
question may be raised as to whether
an all-year school is prejudicial to the
health of the school children to the
we'll being of the community.
"The experience of New York City
during the epidemic of poliomyelitis,
in the Summer of 1916, is most reas-
suring. approximately $4,000 chill
dren attended the Summer sessions
while the disease was ravaging the
city, and, so far as records are avail
able, there is no indication that
school children attending school were
particularly exposed to the epidemic
and, in fact, the rate of attack among
such children was negligible.
THE supervision and control of
children in public schools is a dis
tinct aid in the management of epi-
demic diseases. 1t is far easier. to
protect community from the diseases
of childhood while the children are
under school discipline, subject to
medical inspection and the home visi-
tation by nurses, than when their
whereabouts are unknown to the
health authorities and their goings
and comings are beyond the jurisdic-
tion of the educational department or
the health officers.
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1918-06-06

Commenting editorially on the
question of providing Summer school
sessions for city children, American
Medicine New York; supports the
opinion Of the United States Bureau
of Education that such a plan from
a health and public welfare point of
view should be put into effect.
The annual school term consists of
not more than $50 days in a majority
of cities of this country and instead
of being an educational asset, this
brief period of school work is really
municipal liability.
The following rational and convinc-
ingi brief is made by this publication
for a longer school year where ohil-
dren will be under supervision and
control for the betterment of their
physical and mertal health and for
that of the community at large:
During a period of war the impor-
tance of protecting the Juvenile popu-
lation becomes paramount 1t would
appear to be particularly desirable
to extend the opportunities of all
year schools under the present day
urge of safeguarding children against
delinquency and misconduct, as we'll
as for promoting their school progress
in the most advantageous manner.

FOR EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS
Arrangement Brought About Through
Agency Of Red Cross

A New York writer says:
A German correspondent transmits
additional information regarding
agreement between France and Ger
many, arranged through the agency Of
the International Committee of the
Red Cross, for the exchange of prison
ers. Under the convention, which be-
came effective May Is, all military
prisoners are to become entitled to ex-
change, rank for rank, after eight
months; and prisoners over As years
of age, or over 40 if they have three
children, at the end of eighteen
months, without regard to rank or
numbers. The agreement regarding
civilian prisoners is even more impor-
tant Not only are deportations to
cease, but the inhabitants of occupied
territory, while ! lble to forced labor,
are hereafter to pe SO employed only
in the neighborhood of their homes.
Whether the provisions regarding
civilians are to be construed as retro
active is not entirely clear. Whether
retroactive or not, however, the agree
ment is in a high degree creditable to
France and Germany, as well as to the
Red Cross. For the good of all parties
the fullest publicity ought
now to be given to the practical work
ing of the convention.
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1918-06-06

"The reports thus far made in cities
where the all school year has been
tested indicate that the health of chill
dren who have attended such schools
has not been impaired In the slightest
degree.
Those familiar with the conditions
Of housing and the lack of playground
facilities require no argument to con-
vince them of the greater potentialities
for health that are resident in modern
up-to-date school buildings as opposed
to the conditions obtaining in the
homes in which school children live.
"The continuance of the health reg
ulations and medical inspections
throughout the school year, guarantee
the continuance of health habits and
the development of better methods,
such as ordinarily occur during the
long Summer vacation.
Some reports demonstrate that
the children who have been enjoying
a long vacation return to school in
September without any improvement
in their physical condition superior
to that noted among children who have
remained at their studies.
"The advocates of the long vacation
are wont to dwell enthusiastically up
on the advantages of children going
into the country and living an active
life in the sunshine, with plenty of
good food, exhilarating exercises and
general healthabetting conditions.
Unfortunately, the percentage of |

Wash and soak the beans for "a

CLEAN UP AFTERWARD

Such a material homely thing as
the Pullman wash basin has been the
occasion of moral lesson drawn by an
everyday philosopher. Time was when
the traveller used it to its sorrow,
leaving the once white bowl deco
rated with gray ring after gray ring.
His successor came, saw and was
usually disgusted. He must clean up
after the other man-so if he wanted
to be clean he picked up a towel and
went to work, hurling anathemas on
the head of Mr. Careless.
And the porter seemed to suffer
from amnesia. He either forgot the
wash basin as an object of his duty
or had no time to clean up after each
user.
But today the world, made up of
average men, has grown better. No
longer do they look on it as mawkish
sentiment to clean up after themselves.
Thelr altered attitude is partly the re-
suit of their whirlwind of efficiency
sweeping over us. Man today sees
how well he can obliterate all trace
OF the havoc he has wrought; and his
brother who came after does not curse
him but rather blesses him.
The Pullman wash room is but hu-
man contract on small scale. Let
us carry the new spirit wherever we
go-lets clean up after ourselves.

dience was six, Tuesday afternoon,
when "Epamanandus" and THE
Golden Bucket" were presented by
Master Bennie Weinbach and Misses
Neva and Marion Trowbridge. Credit
must also go to Master Tommie Young,
who was spieler-in-chief.
Bennie took the parts of Epamanan-
dus and Johnnie; Marion was the
auntie and the fairy, and Neva was the
mother in both plays. Two other at
fractions were What Mother Needs

Lady of Fashion" "a bisque lady in a
cigar box).
The proceeds Of the show amounted
to So, which was sent to the Red
Cross headquarters.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Library Etiquette.

Editor the Missourian: There seems
to be an idea abroad among some
otherwise moral people that they
should disregard all library fines. 1t
is strange that a person with the best
intentions in the world has no in
tention of paying his book dues. 1t
is almost a matter of pride for him
to ignore their existence, and the ex-
istence of the notices that are sent to
him to remind him that he has been
remiss.
Then there is the matter of the
open shelf An exception is the per-
son who thinks of returning book
or magazine to the place where he
found it. Frequently books and maya
zines are not returned at all.
Whether it serves any purpose to
refer to those who make marginal
comments on the printed page is
doubtful. Such persons are almost be-
yond the pale.
The library is an institution for the
spreading of education, even near
higher learning. The demands it
makes upon the public for the very
favors it confers on them
is slight. On the whole those who
frequent the reading rooms are we'll
and unoffending in serious
ways. But the innumerable petty Of
tenders! Some of their little ways
are mentioned above
Who has said that it is the little
things that count?-P. P.

Food Hint for Today
Food Economy I'm England.

One of the circulars sent out of the
British Ministry of Food says: "The
food question has now become so
urgent that, as a nation, we must con-
slider the best ways of obtaining all
available nourishment from foods, and
we must prepare every dish with that
in view" Between the lines of those
simple words we may read how close
to bedrock England has come in this
war. Here is one of the recipes which
her people are using.

NEW GERMAN INVENTIONS

The Germans are busy making new
war machines that are expected to
deal tremendous blows. This infor-
nation comes from Edwin L. James
who is with the American army in
France for the New York Times. The
German aviators, Mr.. James says, are
training in the use of the flying tank. !"
This newest weapon of the air is de-
scribed as an all-steel plane, and not
only is it armoured, but the wings are
made of steel. 1t has speed of fifty
miles an hour and carries six cent?
meter guns. The Germans are under
stood to be making very elaborate
tests with it.
Mr. James also says that a Berlin
engineer has patented new type of
airplane gun mounted on a revolving
turret directly over the aviator and in
the center, between the wings. The
turret, mounted on ball bearings, is
capable of revolving $50 degrees. 1t
is not known whether this is part of
the equipment of the flying tank.
Giant airplanes of a new type have
been sent to German aviation schools
for training in long-range bombing
machines, but so far have met with
little success.
Reports are also made of factories
in Berlin building a new two-seated
airplane of great carrying capacity for
bombing work. 1t is equipped with
four motors, two of high power for
general use, and two of lower power
for emergency use. These machines
are designed to remain in the air
fifteen hours at a speed of fifty kilo-
meters. Experiments with them did
not produce good results.
Germany has surely introduced some
extraordinary and wonderful machin-
cry into warfare. Their big guns
at the beginning of the war astonished
the world, and the direction of their
destructiveness has shocked civiliza-
tion. But the war is still going on,
and the Germans cannot hope to win
it with their big guns. The Zeppelin
has proved a marvel of aircraft, but
1t has been a failure for warfare. And |
so it is with other freaks that the
Germans have got out. Even their |
U-boats are failure in that they have
not done what the Germans expected. |
Charles NJ. Schwab, director of the
government shipbuilding board is
quoted as having said that more ships
are being built than U-boats can pos
sibly sink.
In view of these failures, it is GER
tain that the new inventions which
Mr.. James describes will be antici-
pated by the Allies. 1t is said that
thrice armed is he whose cause is
just, but Germany's cause is not just.
She cannot win as long as there is
justice in the world, and so many
brave men and women who are will
ling to give everything, and who are
giving everything that this justice
might be established.

THE TRANSPORT
By Beatrice Washburn in Golfers.

watched your transport sail away for France,
And tried to tell you then how brave you were,
How much loved you, how the coming years
Were glorihed; how all our little dreams,
That we had built together, sailed with you;
And of that winter day when we first met,
And how there moon in the sky.
Do you remember when like splintered ice
1t lay upon the surface of the lake?
Of how loved you and the wasted years
We might have spent together but it still
Was something to have had, those happy years,
Something to hold, something to thank Him for,
Something most people die with never having known
Something the war never take away!
All this would have told you but so much
Was left unSaid. We only talked of ships
And why the gulls could dip their wings SO Deep
And how the sky line changes with the years,
And of the city, and be to write
And tell me everything you think of France
And don't forget- land then the whistle blew
Now when they talk of war only see
The harbor flashing in the sun, the dipping gulls,
The ragged edge of rope that tied the ship,
A little crack upon the painted rail
Where you last laid you hand
