BURBANK OPPOSES
EARLY SCHOOLING
Thinks Youths Should Not Be
Cooped Up.

SANTA Rosa, Cal, March 25.-Boys
and girls of small towns should not be
allowed to see the inside of school
houses until they are ten years old
Luther Burbank noted plant wizard
declared in message responding to
greetings from neighbors on his seventy
third birthday here recently.
."I speak OF the boy or girl who has
the privilege of being reared IN the only
place that is truly fit to bring up a boy
or Tlant-thc country or the small towns
the nearer to nature the better" he
said. 'In the case Of children COM
PEELED to live in the city. the tempta-
tions are so great, the life so artificial
the atmosphere so like that OF a hot
house. that such a child should be
placed IN school earlier as matter OF
sa scguard."
Mr.. Burbank said his life work with
plants has convinced him that the same
treatment and care necessary to the
highest development Of plant life is es-
sential to the highest development Of
human life.
"Ali animal life Is sensitive to envi-
ronment but of all living things the
child is the most sensitive" he declared.
SURROUNDINGS act upon us as the out
side world acts upon the plate of the
camera. Every possible influence will
leave Its impress upon the child. in
many cases even overcoming heredity
A child literally absorbs environment.
The proper influence applied during the
impressionable period will cause an ef-
feet that will be pronounced, immediate
and permanent.
"Pick out any trait which you may
desire in a normal chlld--honesty. fair
ness. purity. lovableness. industry.

DOTY AND DOHERTY
FIGHT MOSQUITOES
Former Health Officer and
Financier Take Up Cudgels
Against Pest.

There is going to be another war
on the mosquito. AT least this is the
forecast of DR.. Alvah H. Doty, former
health officer Of the port, and Henry l..
Doherty, engineer and gas and traction
financier, who have taken up cudgels
in renewed campaign to exterminate
this summer pest of town and country.
The open season" for the skeeter
will begin within the next month, de-
pending on the temperature Of early
spring days. In its present stage the
campaign can be more effective il two
things are done:
l. Kill the first mosquito OF the
season.
2. Seek out the breeding places-thc
cans, tubs, bottles. rain Barrels or cess
pools or anything containing any
amount of water which has become
stagnant Drain the pools of water in
back lots; or If this cannot be DONE
spray the pool with OIL
The present mo osquito menace, accord
ing to DR.. Doty. consists not so much
in the discomfort as the known trans
mission of diseases such as malaria
yellow fever or elephantiasis. On the
contrary DIR. Doty believes that the
danger of the mosquito consists in the
part 1t may take in transmitting IN

BACHELORS IN U. S.
NUMBER 100000
More Single Adult Males Here
Than in Any Nation in
the World.
Special Dispatch TO THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
WASHINGTON. ID. O.. March Is.


New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. March IS.
About 100000 adult males in the
United states are unmarried, reports Of
the Census Bureau show. America. il
is indicated, has more bachelors than
any nation in the world. 81.
Reports that a new record for the
number of marriages was established
during the last twelve months are not
credited by Government officials. Mat
rimony has and still is claiming less
persons now than at any time in a dec
ade ii is believed.
Young men and women seemingly are
becoming reluctant to tread the path to
the altar. Government officials are
studying the situation to learn the cause
OF the apparent unpopularity of ro-
mantle love.
The cost Of living was examined first,
but it, is not believed that high prices
tended to discourage matrimony until
after the aruistice, when they began to
act as a brake upon the establishment OF
new families.
Approximately 100000 marriages
occur each year In the United States.
This is not large number in proportion
land and especially in Germany the
proportion is much higher. officials say.
The nationwide housing shortage is
believed to be an important factor in
the situation. Widespread unemploy-
ment is another. Both men and women
hesitate to assume responsibilities
when pay envelopes are an unknown
quantity.
The so-called new independence of
whether II throws any light on the prob
lem According TO many sociologists,
many women hesitate to marry because
generally they must give UP their jobs.
Approximately S.500.0 900 women are reg
ularly employed in the United States, ac-
cording to the census returns. The num-
ber is constantly increasing. A propa-
ganda is being carried on in many sec
tions intended TO keep married women
out of industry while unemployment is
widespread among the male of the
species.
Other reports to the Census Bureau
seem to make the problem more COM
plex. These reports show that the age
Of marriage is gradually being lowered
III many sections of the country. Women
especially are assuming the RESPONSE
bilites OF matrimony at ages very much
under twenty. Formerly most women
married between the ages of twenty and
twenty-five Earlier marriages would
seem TO point to more marriages. but in
this respect the returns do not coincide.
The majority of men marry between
twenty-five and thirty. the reports show.
There are some Government officials
who scoff a the study OF the census re-
turns in their relation to the marriage
problem. Figures these officials say.

put no faith whatever in the old theory

Ministers and sociologists interested in

Bureau with respect TO matrimony.

Politicians See Chance to Fill

Special Dispatch to THE New YoaK HERALD.
With millions to spend. F. r. Utter has
begun the organization of the States
new central purchasing agency, which is
expected to become within few weeks
one of the most powerful factors In the
whole State government Political lead
ers are more interested in this bureau
and its formation than in any other in
the government just at present 1t Of
fers tremendous opportunities for pat
ronage and favoritism if the politicians
can get hold OF It.
Gov. Miller is keeping close watch
on the bureau and there is little hope
for the contractor who is looking for
favors in selling supplies TO the state.
Mr. Utter was head OF the fiscal su-
pervisors department, which purchased
supplies for the Charities Department.
and is an expert in business purchasing
Provisions and supplies for more than
10000 inmates in the State hospitals
will be purchased by this department,
including clothing. food and other sup
plies. The purpose in creating the de-
partment is to establish a standard of
purchasing, and by buying in the bulk to
save big sums.
The bureau VIII require the employ
ment of large force Of assistant man
ayers and clerks. Three storehouses will
be maintained in New York. Buffalo and
the central part of the State The po-
litical leaders already are bringing out
their candidates for all these positions.
There has been appropriated 100000 to
start the department running.
The practice Which it is now sought
to overcome is the haphazard purchasing
by each department without regard to
the ups and downs OF market prices. The
as a rule have been political
favorites with the result that the State
has paid usually the top price for every
thing. The Governor has given orders
that the bureau must be maintained en-
tirely free from political influences.
A bill regulating the expenditures of
the New York Port Authority by the
State Comptroller was lost in the dis
card with the adjournment of the Legis-
lature. The result is that expenditures
of that commission will not be subject
to audit by the finance department as
are the bills of all other departments. \
The Port Authority spent $4,000 last
year for administrative expenses and
their vouchers now are in the Comptrol-
ers office.
similar measure dealing with the
Commission was passed
and is now before the Governor. A bill
for auditing of the State COM
pensation fund by the State Comptroller
also failed of passage.
