The right way is TO place the tube

TIE PROPER BALANCE.
l. ~ n az.

II conditions in the rural schools
were not entirely up-to- date in our
school days, have we improved
them for our children? Should we
visit the particular school in which
we are primarily interested, would
we find condition of which we
could be justly proud? Again, to
put the question as forcibly as
possible, Are we surrounding our
school children with all the safe
guards possible and providing them
with the proper environment to de-
velop healthy and well balanced
bodies as we'll as minds?"
Granting that our schools and
their surroundings are not always
conducive to good health for our
children, what is the remedy? In
other words, just what does nature
exact in payment for health? This
question may be answered in a sin
gle word, viZ.-sanitatioD.
Again. as children spend the
greater part of their waking hours
in the school room, in forced physi-
cal idleness and in close contact
with each other, it is impossible to
place too much emphasis on the
fact that they should be surround
ed with the best sanitary condi-
tons. These conditions, when APP
piled to the rural school may very
properly be termed rural school
sanitation.

ence until the returns in which
they are most interested are dis
closed. In the east, where the
population is dense and cities are
no new thing, the feeling in the
matter of census results is hardly
more than one of mild curiosity,
OF course, in nearby places of
nearly the same size there is a de-
sire TO show more inhabitants than
the competitor and thus secure the
right to boast Of being a bigger
city.
But it is in the west and south
that the emotion aroused over the
matter reaches its highest inten-
sity. There number of cities have
sprung up like mushrooms in late
years and the pride of the inhabi-
tants in the size of their towns has
swollen in proportion. And where
two towns in the same territory
have been growing almost equally
fast the eagernoss with which the
census figures are awaited can only
be compared to that with which
race-track results are awaited by
bettors or election returns by the
politicians.
The civic pride thus aroused is a
capital thing for the city whose
citizens possess it. Applied to prop
er uses, it can be made to produce
beneficial results Except in the
case of the large cities, however, in
which their relative standing as to
population may have some effect
on their business, ii is rather fool
ish to become so excited over pom
ulation. The competition between
small cities to show the largest
population in the census returns
might be more profitable if it were
directed to showing the lowest pro-
portion of prisoners in the iails, the
highest proportion of church men,
bers, or something similarly COM
mendable.
