HEALTH GAME IN SCHOOLS

In dealing with the young hopefuls
of the present day and generation
the proven best way to teach them
what they ought to know has been tC
correlate work and play in an in
separablc combination. The method
thus far has worked equally well in
whatever line, it has been adopted;
indeed it seems to be an essential ig
all teaching which aims to be sue
cessful. Therefore the present crus-
ade which is travelling wide through
out the communities and schools of
the country urging the teachins Of
health habits" in the early days OF
youth is certain of success. Assured
~ so, because health habits can he
taught in schools by ways and means
which have much of the nature of
contest and game.
The Bureau Of Education at Wash
ington has very recently issued q de-
ligEtlul little pamphlet repIete with
suggestions along this line of health
teaching in schools, which. presents
all manner of possibilities for similar
development. When a child has rules
of contest to urge him to shine in his
health game, when he can win high
appreciation merely by trying to cat
the proper kinds of food and attain
his normal weight, or by Cultivating
Clearly habits, and in addition to this
is urged to make little verses, sketch
out and paint letters and words and
pictures to portray health matters,
the subject is going to be of keen
interest to him both inside of school
and out.

If employers imagine that after

1.-THE UNsKuLED WORKER.

1.-THE UNS611IEO WORKER"
It is almost impossible to pick up a
newspaper without being confronted by
an interview with some "captain OF
industry" who is sure prosperity will
not return until the wages Of common
labor' have been materially reduced.
"There must be no coddling Of the
unskilled worker,'' announces the Wall
Street Journal, which is proud Of its
"brutal frankness' in discussing iG-
dustrial problems.
One would imagine from the way
some of these representatives Of the
employing class talk that the Gun.
skilled worker' was a sort Of vermi-
form appendix which could be removed
from society without i'll effect.
The fact is that the so-called Gun
skilled WORKER is the Atlas who sup
ports the whole world of industry.
Without him our engineers and execu-
tives would be helpless. It is true
they plan and direct the work and the
skilled workmen gives it definite form,
but after, all these have done their
parts the task of the "common labor
err remains essential
He does not ask to be "coddled. -
But he demands living wage and an
eight-hour day and working conditions
worthy Of an American. He is en-
titled to all these. Without them, he
and his will always remain "unskilled
workers. With them, he will at least
be able to care for wife and family,
and if he does not enter the ranks Of
the skilled he will see to it that his
boys and girls have their chance.
The skilled worker has vital inter.
est in the well-being of his unskilled
brother. The wage Of the unskilled
in the long run fixes the compensation
of the skilled.
Employers know this. They are as,
sailing the unskilled workers because
the latter are poorly organized and
therefore least capable of offering ef-
fective resistance. If they can force
down their wages, they can then turn
their guns on the skilled workers with
greater hope of success.

RAILROAD HEADS DIFFER.

Daniel Willard, president of the Bal
timore & Ohio, does not agree with
MI. Atterbury that the high wages
and unreasonable working conditions
imposed by the employees are respons:.
BILE for the deplorable situation in
which the railroads now find them
selves.
In an interview in Baltimore paper,
Mr.. Willard says the chief difficulty is
the nationwide slump in business, The
people have gone on strike against the
profteers. They will not buy until
prices come down. With the public
in that frame of mind, business men
refuse to place orders, and of course
that leads to a sharp curtailment in
freight and passenger traffic.
Mr.. Willard believes the cost of liv.
ing will come down, but he holds that
wages should not be reduced "before
justification is found in the fall Of
prices.'
"All that is required,'' says he, "is
a readjustment of the general economic
scheme, which should mean increased
business, lower cost of living, a read
justment in wages and a like rcadjust-
ment in rates.
Nowhere in his interview does he
give countenance to Atterbury's silly
libels on the workers.
There is no question that Mr.. Will
lard voices the sentiments of many
far-seeing railroad executives. These
men would experience no difficulty in
reaching an. understanding with the
workers if it were not for the malign
influence of certain great financiers
who are more interested in crushing
organized labor. than they are in the
orderly and efficient operation of the
nations transportation system.

COLORADO AND NORTH DAKOTA,

COLORADO AND NORTH DAKOTA.
All the papers have much to say
about the troubles Of North Dakota
these days, but here is an item from
Colorado which they appear to have
overlooked.
The taxpayers of that state threaten
to go on strike, according to The
Pueblo Chieftain, a newspaper of the
ultra-conservative school.
It would appear that Colorado has
had a succession of "business admin.
istrations,'' some Democratic and some
Republican, but all acceptable to the
chamber Of commerce, the Rotary club
and the other "safe and sane' organ.
izations which claim a God-given right
to boss the politics Of city, state and
nation.
The result is that Colorado's bonded
debt is ten times as large as that Of
North Dakota and the tax levy for
current expenses is so high that farm
ers and stock-raisers say they cannot
meet it.
Last fall the business interests o.
Colorado, after a campaign marked by
unparalleled Misrepresentation, sue.
ceeded in defeating the candidates
named by the Nonpartisan League and
organized labor. If the producers
ticket had been successful, Colorado =
woes would now be placarded on the
first page Of every organ Of rs special
Privilege and the people Of othe,
commonwealth would be warned
against INDUCING in similar "experi.
ments.'
