FAIR PLAY ALL AROUND.

In his letter on Labor day entertainments the
writer, Henry Johnson, Of this city, raises a point
which merits attention. He calls attention to the
practice which has prevailed of devoting Labor day,
quite appropriately, to sports and exercises under the
auspices OF the local labor organizations, and to the
fact that the cost Of these has been betrayed without
direct appeal to the public by means of dances and
other forms Of entertainment for which an admis-
sion fee is charged: He expresses regret that the
Fair association has recently appeared to enter into
competition with the labor organizations in sponsor
ing other entertainments on that day, thus making it
more difficult for the labor organizations to finance
their own exercises.
We are confident that whatever conflict has
arisen has been inadvertent, and that if before an
other Labor day the matter is taken up directly with
the Fair authorities they will be found ready to CO.
necessary to avoid the overlapping Of entertain
ments.
There are certain public holidays which must
be regarded as common property, fer which no par
ticular form of observance can be prescribed, and on
which no particular group may claim precedence.
There are two holidays to which this does not Apply.
Memorialday and Labor day.
Memorial day was established for a definite pur-
pose. and while individuals are at liberty to spend
the day as they please, a proper regard for the ftnegs
OF things demands that no public gatherings be held
which Will conflict with the exercises usually held
on that day, and appropriate to it. Similarly, while
i would be rnwise to attempt to establish hard and
last rules, the exercises sponsored BY the labor
lbbdies should have the right Of way on Labor dav.
and ~ others are held, they should be arranged 90 *
To avoid conflict. We believe that the men who d;rert
the policies Of the Fair association will BE found "a
LIE insacGord with this view when the mater i
Ihrought to their attention..

than the city to the growth Of a child.
Rural children measured in 1918 aver
aged one-quarter of an inch taller and
nearly one-quarter of a pound heavier
than city children.
Colored children AVERAGED shorter
and lighter than white children. The
weight and stature deficiencies in col
ored children, however, occurred only
IN the younger ages. From age four
on, colored children proved to be, il
anything, a little taller and heavier
than white ones. The reason for this
may be that the high child mortality
among negroes kills aft the, stunted
and starved victims Of poor Nutrition
and leaves at age four and onward
only the vigorous survivors who com.
pare favorAbly with white children in
stature. Or it may be q negro racial
characteristic to grow slowly the first
three years of life and then to gain
weight and height al an accelerated
rate as compared c with growth of
whites.
The less serious physical defects to
which children are subject-adeno odds,
enlarged or diseased tonsils. or bAd
teeth-seefted to have no great effect
upon height and weight, althoukh
children SO afflicted were shorter ana
lighter than the average. Ricketts, ana
malnutrition, however, were shown by
marked deficiencies, malnutrition re-
eu!ttng in children an inch and one
third below average height and near
~ three and one-half pounds below
average weight.
In thousands Of American homes
Dr.. Emmett Hollis books on. the rear
ing Of children are the standard text
books of the nursery. 1t may be Of
comfort to parents whose children
fall to cone up to DR.. Holt's weight
and height averages to know that the
Children's Year averages do not come
up to them either. Dr.. Hollis aver
ages are based on the measurement s
OF a relatively small number Of chill
dren brought to him in his private
practice. In fact. other standard
tables OF measurements for children
show averages higher than the new
averages obtained by the chilaren's
bureau. The reason probably is that
the averages a~scertained by individ-
uals are affected to some extent BY
the unconscious selection Of better
physical types. The Children's Year
averages, based on the Measurements
of nearly 1000. 900 children from an
sorts Of homes and from every section
OF the United States. represent the
true cross-section Of American child
hood.
