THOUSANDS ARE
SACRIFICED ANNUALLY
Because of Failure to Apply Scientific
knowledge to the Prevention
of Needless Weakness, Etc.

Cleveland. O.. Feb. 24.-The lives of
hundreds of thousands Of persons are
sacrificed annually, human power I'M
measurably wasted and staggering eco
uon.ic loss results from the failure to
apply scientific knowledge to the pre-
vention OF needless weakness, diseases
and death, said Dr. James Wood, pro
fessor of physical education at Colum-
bia university, New York, addressing
the National Council of Education to-
dav. The council is composed of l20
of the leading educators Of the country
attending the National Education as
sociation convention here.
"Our schools are wasting enormous
sums in trying to educate children
handicapped by i'll health" DIR. Wood
said. Seventy five per cent, or SIX
teen million school children OF the
United States have physical defects
which are mostly remedial. This shows
that the business Of keeping the school
children of the country in good physl-
cal condition is disgrace TO the ma
tion.
Every day makes more apparent
the fact that the most vital part OF
our educational work is health educa :
tion. The public school is the chief
agency through which this education
must be given and practiced in sane
health living"
Josephine Corliss Preston of olym.
pia. Wash. president Of the National
Education association, told the council
members that years ago men quit
teaching because salaries were low and
now the women teachers are quitting
for the same reason. She said a sub
stantial salary increase was necessary
to secure trained and competent teach
ers to FIJI the $4,000 vacancies and re-
place $4,000 teachers below profession
al standards in ability.
