The grannies still imagine ~
actively o ever about measles and
scarlet fever. The .unenlightened
mother still worries ~ much az
ever about the rash striking in"
and causing some dire result. Some
health officers and school medical
inspectors still pursue the same old
6ctics - ever in controlling"
these diseases. There are hundreds
of public schools in cities in many
parts OF the country where children
are deliberately admitted to school
while In the most contagious or
infectious stage Of measles or IN
fantile paralysis, And yet the
health authorities and the school
medical inspectors are supposed to
be guarding" children from ex-
posure to disease.
Measles IL most communicable in
the period Of three or four days be-
fore the rash appears. Infantile
paralysis (acute p0liomyelitis) is
most communicable in the period Of
several perhaps six days prior to
development Of the paralysis and
the several days. perhaps 10 days,
Of the acute attack. Both measles
and infantile paralysis are spread
practically exclusively through dis
charges from the nose and throat,
and therefore both diseases are
most dangerous to susceptible chill
dren In the period when the victim
Is supposed to have ':just + cold" or
4 slight sore throat" Health Of
ficers and school medical inspect
ors know that this is true, but
haven't the moral courage, in many
instances, to insist on isolation OF
every child presenting symptoms OF
slight cold" The better schools
do exclude every child who comes
to school with q running nose,
cough or sore throat, but such po-
tentially dangerous diseases are
permitted to run rampant through
many a schoolroom because health
supervision is bad The difficulty
seems to be that the American
people like to imagine they can
purchase competent health protec-
ton for a price which wouldn't
buy the services Of an ordinary
doctor. let alone = trained health
expert.
Measles doesn't strike in" any
more than infantile paralysis OF
diphtheria does. The notion that
the child is endangered il the rash
| fades is reverse logic, the truth is
that there Is no such fading of the
rash except as a result or conse-
quence Of some grave complication

The Daily Short Story

picture was duplicate of the one
that looked into 1.-THE same laugh
ing eyes and straight line of the
ndse.
MY baby" she murmured, as
she read the letter. Hugging the
picture to her breast. she threw
herself into the nearest chair and
sobbed.
ITO think you have suffered so.
You shall have your party, darling,
and mother will be there, never to
leave you again. Oh, God, II it
isn't too late, help me to atone for
the precious life entrusted to MY
care! / never realized until now

Suddenly the door opened and
Richard Blank entered. He thought
he heard someone crying. Could it
be grandma at this hour? No, it
| wasn't.
The handbag with its foreign
marks told the story. Sylvia"
was all he could say, you have
come back to u.s.
Sylvia's tear-stained face met his,
and in another moment she was in
his arms. Richard, read this" she
said.
What a terrible accusation for
US, Sylvia. We promised to love

The answer must have been in

Whites and Negroes.

The whites of the south outnumbsr the
negroes more than two to one. Thus the So
called menace growing out Of the presumed
fecundity Of the colored race no longer threat
ems the white supremacy Of the south. A reason
for this may be found in the industrial develop
ment of the soath, development that has much
northern capital, and that has resulted in .
steady invasion Of the south by northern whites.
At the close Of the Civil war the south was al
most wholly an agricultural section, and out of
the desire to sell 1fs cotton and sugar to the
best advantage 1t was the hot bed of free trade
sentiment. For rs years the south had been de-
voting itself to the production Of staples Of this
character. Industries throve in New England,
which then was the great Manufacturing cen
ter and also the seat of the theory Of protec-
ton.
But within the last 50 years profound
change has come over the south. So long as it
was purely a farming proposition there was
large need of negro labor. When it turned to
manufacturing that need was not so pressing.
A surprising and marvellous growth in factory
interests has developed throughout the south.
due to the fact that 1t has the fuel. the ores and
mountain streams for power in close proximity.
Few sections Of the world are equally favored
for manufacturing The whites have been d.
verted into this channel and a number of south
ern cities are widely famed as industrial cen
ters Now when we turn to the statistical
tables we find that the negroes have turned to
the farms and the gardens. On the farms are
more negroes than whites. In two states, South
Carolina and Georgia, the negro farmers are In
excess Of the whites.
1t all goes to show that the south is becom-
ing largely dependent on its negro farmers, and
that in some states they predominant. The
total white population of the south is 24132211
md the total negro s.212,2s3. These figures Of
themselves indicate that the negro population
! Is more largely the rural and agricultural
! population Of that section Of our country. And
| on the whole, despite the occasional ebulitions
1t must be said that there's but little friction
between the races, not SO much so perhaps as
there is in some northern localities, like Chi
| cago.
