UNITED CLUBS PLAN |
SURVEY OF SCHOOLS.
Rotarians Express Willingness
to Contribute Funds in
Tackling Problem
SESSION MONDAY NIGHT

A survey Of the schools of Philadcl-
phia is to be the first aim attempted by
the Congress Of Club Presidents, an
organization Of local club heads. mostly
business men. whose first meeting will
be held next Monday evening in the
Adelphia Hotel.
Business men sponsoring the new
orga anization feel that in many clubs in
this city is a powerful force for the
solution of civic problems. not merely
in outlining plans. but in having the
plans consummated.
The school situation here, according
to Walter Lee Rosenberger. temporary
president Of the new organization. is re
garded as a business problem to be
studied just as carefully and completely
as big manufacturers study every de
tail of their plants.
Brands Criticism Unfair
Cone of the most unfair features of
the agitation concerning the public
schools he said, ''is the unjustified
and unintelligent criticism leveled at
the Board of Education. 1t is regret e.
table that personalities regarding mem -
bers of the board should be allowed to
creep into the discussion.
"On Monday evening. when Calvin
n. Kendall, New Jersey state commits
sioner of education, addresses us on
schools, we are going to have a discus e
sion that is entirely impartial and not
applied particularly to Philadelphia.
Mr.. Rosenberger said the Board of
Education was in favor of a school sur =
vey, but hesitated at the cost it in =
vOlved.

that il necessary we would provide the

Atmosphere is Laden With
Germs of The Disease.

Every person afflicted with Catarrh
releases millions of the tiny disease
germs with every cough or snseze, SO
that whenever on the street cars or
street or other public place you see a
person afflicted with this disease
hawking and coughing and Sneezing,
everyone in their vicinity is exposed
to the disease.
You along with everyone else wh
find younslf exposed TO the germs Of
Catarrh several times every day. The
germs multiply by the millions, and
the air you breathe is thick with these
tiny little disease demons that cause
90 much distress and suffering.
Catarrh is one of the nost stubborn
diseases, and is always wOrse in cold,
damp and diAgreeable weather. 1t
should not, however, be considered in
durable, though there are thousands
afflicted with il who are doubtless
ready TO believe that q ure is impossi
bic, because of their experience.
But like all other Affections, the
main trouble is that Catarrh is en-
tirely misunderstood, and therefore
treated in the wrong way. Because
these little germ demons attack the
deheate membranes Of the nose and
throat, choking up the air passages
and irritating the tender lining Of the
nostrils and bronchial tubes, the aver

road trains will have It's advantages.
There would be no necessity of open
dates in the schedule as the long
jumps could be made in hours less
time than it takes by train. World
series could be played on alternate
days even IL the participating teams
were as far apart as New York and
Chicago. Circuits could be widened
to take in greater territory than at
present.
OF course the possibility Of a plane
crashing to earth with its baseball
cargo aboard is not to be denied, but
air machines are rapidly becoming
safer and then again railroad trains
have wrecks sometimes, though base

in escaping accidents in the past.
