Doctor Finds
tuberculosis
In Rural Area

Chicago, (hy mail.)-Doubt that tub
e%rculosis is a "city disease" was pre-
sented to the American Public Health
association convention here today by
DR.. Burton r. Rogers, Of New York. He
said the secretary Of the Indiana state
board of health had written him that
out OF a total population Of $4,000 in
Crawford county. Indiana, 1000 had
died of tuberculosis within 10 years.
"Can such a record be even paral-
leled In the worst lung block in the
worst city in America" asked the
speaker. Investigation in other states
might reveal ever worse conditional"
DR.. Rogers explained that Crawford
county has 3o4 square miles and that
the 10000 residents are scattered ON
1851 farms and in 81 towns and Wiz
lagos. the largest urban center con.
tanning less than 1900 Inhabitants. He
added:
1T is doubtful II there 10 q three
story tenement in the county. Every
house is at least 10 feet from every
other house and every living and Sleep
ing room has one or more outside win
lows. These are certainly not city con-
1ttions."

From th. springfield Republican.

From the springfield Republican,
The answer of the economist to proposals to boycott German
goods and in all ways to prevent the revival of German commerce is
that the allies will never be able to get their indemnites and restora-
ton funds paid unless the German people are allowed to trade and
make money.
1t will even be necessary for Germany to market bonds abroad
on a great scale in order to meet the financial demands Of the victors
for reparation, and those bonds will have to be bought by Germany's
former enemies, if they are to find any market at all. France thus
made the payments on her war indemnity to Germany in %1871-1875.
There was no other way.
The best thing that can happen to the whole world is for all ma
lions to get to work a IS soon as possible in order to repair the stupen-
dous damage done by over four years of war, the cost Of which in the
aggregate is estimated in London at approximately $200O0O,OOOOOO.
Germany's present condition seems rather like that of the south after
our civil war; for she has evidently fought to the point of economic
exhaustion. Horace Greeley's celebrated advice to the south to raise
more cotton and less hell had a sound economic truth back of it, for
the reconstruction of the defeated and ruined south remained without
the necessary bread and butter basis until its power to produce wealth
was restored.
If Horace Greeleys sententious advice were to be applied to Ger
many, with the aid Of the vctors in the war, there would certainly be
no outside obstruction to the restoration of the German people to q
condition Of economic solvency. Judging by the present political and
social conditions in Germany, the people there will help the bolshe-
visits make Europe q bedlam which we might have to police if they are
not afforded opportunities to revive their industries and their
commerce.
Where lies the real interest of the outside world should be obvi-
GUS to the Paris peace conference, now that German autocracy and
miitarism have been destroyed.

SCHOOL REFORM
Of WIDE SCOPE
San Francisco Normal to Allow
Pupils In Lower Grades to
Observation-Disclosures
Wasted Effort.

81" francisco (by mail)-"In the
'eiemexa''y department of the San
Francisco State Normal school is now
I"''s worried out a reform, which IL
aoopted DS schools generally, will rev.
oiutiohize educational practice in many
Respects, says Frederick Burk, presi-
cent OF the San Francisco Normal
school,.
AT present all pupils in the public
elementary schools throughout the
country are required to complete the
prescribed work in every subject for
graduation. regardless of individual
variations in native ability, or in the
greater or less Importance Of certain
subjects or parts of subjects. 1t is
silently assume that every item in
the elementary course is absolutely es-
sential TO every life.
Thus, the musical genius and the
monotone. the natural artist and the
color blind. the future literary writer
n the pupil without literary appre.
cation. pursue precisely the same
course of study in these subjects, are
assumed to reach the same standards.
n graduate, according to the ac-
cepted pedagogic theory. with the
their native ability.
Similarly, the same uniform courses
In arithmetic. in history, geography.
spelling, writing and physiology and
the same graduation standards are de-
marded by the school system from all
pupils. The existing course Of study
Tor elementary schools is not what all
people use but the sum of many spec
ialtzed fields. Much Of it cannot be
learned by all, and only a small part
Is used universally. The futile folly Of
the plan is patent.
The remedy which the San Fran
cisco Normal school is working out is
to frame a minimum course Of just
what every person of reasonable in
telligence actually uses in life and
which all pupils can readily master.
Supplementary to this ommon course
Is being framed a large variety of
courses possible and desirable for cer-
tain pupils but not necessary for all;
all pupils take the common course and
each, individually, after due confer
ence of teacher, pupil and parent, may
fill out with such other Of the supple
mentary courses as may seem desir.
able for each. AS a consequence q
pupil of great musical ability may
take several advanced courses in
music. but h monotone may take
none. and those betwixt and between
may take courses up to the limit Of
their ability.
"a second feature Of the plan being
perfected is to establish exact stand
ards of accomplishment by which abil-
tiles can be definitely measured. Pupils
will not be promoted by merely going
through courses. but the purpose Of
each course and Its standards Of final
accomplishment r being framed 30
that a pupil clearly sees his goal in
advance and works toward Il upon his
own initiative.
'1n developing this plan Of schooling,
the San Francisco school Is but carry
ing further its individual system Of

sunk her, the message being III the
British Radio code, a copy of which
had been secretly obtained from q
