There is valuable hint to all brain
workers in the experience Of children who
receive their education in so-called open
air" schools and "open window" classes.
These special outdoor schools and semi
outdoor classes were originally established
for the benefit of tubercular children. They
are now being increasingly used for chill
dren in perfect health, for the reason that
they have been found most advantageous
for educational purposes.
II was discovered. in the first place, that
the tubercular children educated outdoors
not only gained in health but made rapid
progress In their studies This led to the
belief, confirmed by experience. that chill
dren in general would think better and learn
more easily If given outdoor or semi-outdoor
schooling
Which is. after all. only what one should
expect in view of the known dependence of
the brain on a good air supply for its proper
functioning. And IL children benefit from
outdoor thinking, undoubtedly adults would
similarly benefit.
Climatic conditions, to be sure, have to
be taken into account. There are times
when outdoor thinking is inadvisable for
anybody. But even at such times it is pos
sible TO secure a better quality of indoor
air than most people now have.
And, when weather permits, brain work.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1920-01-12

Associated NcwHpaperaD
ers may well try on their own account the
experiment OF doing as much OF their think
ing outdoors as possible
Even if, during working hours, they are
held indoors by the nature of their occupa-
ton. they can secure virtually outdoor con-
dtions by devices for ample ventilation.
And outside of working hours they can
usually, If they so choose, go outdoors to
think.
The weather may be too cold to permit
them TO sit outdoors in any comfort, no
matter how snugly- wrapped up. But they
can at least walk about. A leisurely walk
in the open is itself conducive to efficient
thinking, as many brain worker can
testify from personal experience.
Whenever 1 wish TO develop ideas" is
the way one well known writer puts 1t, Il
leave my study and go for quiet walk. AS
walk ! mediate. And / find that ideas
come TO me far more readily than If were
content to seek them at my desk. There
is nothing more stimulating to the mind
than fresh air.
People, indeed, are too prone to forget
that they are by nature outdoor beings.
Civilization has tended more and more
TO indoor modes of life. Yet something of
the old outdoor habit must be regained If
men and women would utilize to the full
their mental as well as their bodily re-
sources.

Lending to Europe

Europe must have American goods. Otherwise Europes
years of poverty will be multiplied and eventually America
win be made poorer, too.
When one country buys goods from another it pays in
od or in exported goods of its by selling transpor
ntion space on ships Europe has gold for export
very little goods and limited shipping space
There remains credit. II Europe borrow money in
America to pay for American goods the present critical
situation can be met The transaction is familiar to every
small town where the local bank loans money to buy raw
materials manufactured goods Then the mill turns
out the finished product After the finished product is sold
the mill repays its loan out of the profits.
Europe wishes to copy that process But there is a
difference in Europes case. Europe wants to spend
American money in America to take out of the country
American materials That making Europe Americas
own rival for Americas products.
Borrowed money usually Is spent more extravagantly
than earned money Europes needs too, more ire-
dnfey pressing than Americas Therefore unless checks
