A YEAR ago the Public Bduca-
~ cation Association reported
that there were at least 10000
children in the public schools suffer-
ing from heart trouble whose condi-
ton was accumulated by climbing
from fifteen TO twenty flights of stairs
daily.
After an investigation. the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment appro-
priated $4,000 for treatment Of these
cardlacs.
After a years work the great need
OF more such preventive work in the
interest of the health Of school chill
dren has been clearly demonstrated.
Children from seventeen schools
numbering 500. were thoroughly ex-
amined. One hundred and twenty
Ave of these children were found to
be seriously afflicted and were taken
from their classes for individual at
tention.
Later, fifty OF these 1875 serious
cases we're returned to their classes
with the normal children but under
careful supervision OF a doctor ana
nurse. Such progress has been noted
that the children have gained from
one to seven pounds in a single
month. This was accomplished by a
cooperative plan Of parents, children,
nurses and doctors during the time
the children were attending public
school.
This is as 1t should be.
As an evidence that this means OF
caring for childrSn is most important,
the records show that the children
lost weight over Saturday and Sum
day, when they were at home without
this extra attention.
This Ia only one of the many inno-
vations that will needs be put into
the school curriculum in the interest
Of the future citizen.
We have been shorts GIFTED in the
past. Millions OF dollars have been
spent in building up the brain of

must be one OF the chief studies OF

Better yet, by dealing frankly and openly with the

managers know that the public is watching, they
win not dare to be so high-handed and arbitrary as
they have been in the past.
Furthermore, if the steel employers are certain
that public opinion IS against their stand they will

YeLLOW Fever

N ISCOVBRIES, in connection with
II the origin and treatment of
yellow fever, made by the sci
cntlsts of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research during 1919, indi-
cate that "the chances are good OF
materially reducing the mortality OF
the disease" according to a partial
review of the years work OF the in
stitute made public here by its Pres
ident, George +. Vincent.
Research work was conducted at
Guayaquil, Ecuador, by DIR. Hideyo.
Noguchi, bacteriologist OF the insti-
tute. He succeeded by experiments
with guinea pigs, the review stated,
in cultivating from the blood minute
organism which he named "Lepto-
spira icteroides-'slim spiral, the
iRundice maker" BY means of this
organism he was able to prepare a
serum for the treatment of the dis
case.
This has been administered in a
number of cases with apparently Ia
vorable effect" Mr.. Vincents report
said. ut seems more than likely that
a means of Identifying yellow fever
has been found, and that the chances
are good of materially reducing the

Citing the results accomplished in
eliminating the disease from Guaya-
duil, which averaged 2o9 cases an
nuaily from 1912 to 1918, with 400 in
1918, the report added that no cases
have appeared there since June J.
1919.
ut is too early to affirm that yellow
fever has been completely eradicatcd
from Guayaquil," the review said.

TIE. GREATER SHOCK.

TN THEIR petition to the Supreme Court Of the
/ United States for reconsideration of the de-
dsion sustaining the validity Of the Eighteenth
Amendment and provisions of the VolStead Act,
Counsel Elhu Root and William D. Guthrie point
out that 'ft is very serious and grave departure
from established procedure, under our system of
jurisprudence, for court of final resort to dispose
Of litigation involving vitality important questions
of constitutional law without disclosing or dechr-
ing any reasons other than its ultimate conclusions"
NO important modern case involving such
vital questions of constitutional law, 30 far as
49, counsel have been able to md, has ever before
I been disposed of by any English or American
court Of final resort without opinion and upon
mere statement of ultimate conclusions, The
. precedent is believed TO be dangerous to cOnsti-
tutional rights and liberties"
If II was shock to millions of Americans to find
that, Nationwide regulation of personal conduct
could be legislated into the Federal Constitution
without appeal to. popular vote, it was far greater
shock when the highest court in the land upheld
this invasion Of the Constitution with no further
argument than that thus it was and must be.
When the Supreme Court of the United States
ceases to give reasons for its decisions even when
they affect the Personal liberty of one hundred
million people as heretofore recognized and pro-
tected, the world will have come to a worse pass
than, the gloonieSt of the postwar pessimistS
predict.

pro-Adminislraton strength was split among several
candidates and Joe Baileys personal NADINE was
able 10 roll up plurality principally on the issue Of
the open shop and not on the League Of Nations
issue
In Missouri the issue was clearer. In Missouri the
anti-AdminiStraton wing was united under the lead
ershlp of Jim Reed. The Administration support
was divided between two strong candidates. In
spite of this Breckenridge Long, supporting The Pres
ident, poled substantial plurality and the third
aspirant gave the Reed supporter close race.
In Oklahoma The issue was unmistakable Gore
was anti-AdnniStraton and anti-League. Ferris
was pro-AdmnistTaton and pro-League. Blind Sen
ator Gore had the advantage Of sympathy with his
infinAy, which enabled him TO run 10000 ahead
of his ticket in 1914. But Ferris on incomplete re-
turns rolled up vote in the primary nearly as large
as the vote which elected Gore six years ago. and
considerably larger than the normal Republican vote
in Oklahoma.

MR.. TAFT ON THE ISSUE.

TN ANSWERING for the special benefit. of Eve
l ming World readers certain questions submitted
to him by The Evening World regarding League
reservations one of the convictions expressed by
William H. Taft is that the American people have
tired of the League issue.
Mr.. Taft would have it that what made them tire
was President Wilson'S obstinate rejection Of the
Lodge reservations.
With all respect to Mr.. Taft, who has been con-
sstent and courageous Republican defender Of the
League, he is wrong on this point
1t was not the Presidents uncompromiSing adj
herence to the League and the prOfesSed national
purpose it represented which first duled the interest
of considerable part of the American public and
then increased It's indifference or disgust.
Popular WEAKNESS Of the issue began when Re-
publican Senators made it plain that they were ready
10 prolong the ant-League fight and keep the coun
Try out Of peace for as many months as might be
required to bring discredit upon the Administration
and create party capital for the Presidential cam
paign. r.
People tired of the issue as they became convinced
that Senators in whose power it lay to hold UP the
treaty and keep this Nation out of the League were
using that power for political ends that would not
stay concealed under all the patriotic professions
festooned about them.
Americans became dulled to the importance of the
national and international questions involved as they
saw the paltriness and pettiness with whid these
questions were approached in that legislative body
where the highest American craftsmanship might
naturally be sought.
To revtalize American interest in the League,
what is most needed Is the revelation of a method
by which to cut through all antiquities, all sus-
picionS of double motive that have gathered about
proposals put forth by the reservationists.
That is why the Constitution itself has come to
seem to not few straight-hinkng Americans the
best single and sufficing reservation with which to
test the honesty of those who say they only seek 10
have the United States enter the League with its
Constitutional freedom and its Constitutional pro-
ceSSes of action unimpaired
Mr.. Taft holds that, since faithhness to lis Con
sttttion is presupposed in this Nations becoming a
member of the League of Nations, the Constitution
cannot be used as reservation.
II must he remembered, however, that Mr. Taft
feels he must still leave room somewhere for The
Lodge reservations.
As for the Republican candidates cold shoulder
toward the Covenant, the Republican ex-Presden
can only be valantly hopeful that somehow, some
day light and the League may set Harding straight
