TROPICAL SCOURGE
REPORTED CURBED

Striking progress toward the stamp
ing out of dengue fever, scourge Of
the tropics, through the voluntary
submission of more than IS American
soldiers in the Philippines to test In
oculations, was reported today by the
surgeon general of the Army, Maj.
Gen. Ireland.
The work was done by the Army
Medical Research Board in the Islands
and resulted in the discovery that the
same mosquito which is the carrier
of yellow fever, the aedos egypt, also
Is the spreader Of dengue.
Preventative measures based on the
research work were inaugurated
among the garrisons in the Philip
mines a wear ago at the conclusion of
the study. Reports of the results
rea ching Gen. Ireland show that the
number of dengue cases has been re-
duced from so soldiers In every 1000
In 1924 to less than 20 cases per
/ 900 this year.
In commenting the big group of en-
listed men who volunteered their serv-
ices as test cases, the commanding
general in the islands issued a general
order pointing out that human sub
iacts were considered essential by the
research board and that the discom-
fort and suffering to which these sub
iects submitted was beyond and above
the normal requirements OF duty.
The fever about f1ve years ago swept
across the Southern States from Texas
TO Georgia, about 100000 cases being
reported.

CLARK SAYS FACULTY
ARE NOT NURSEMAIDS
American University Head, in Con
vocation Sermon, Says All
Are Crusaders.

Jesus as the teacher Of simplicity
in method and magnif1cation Of truth
ito its highest power" was held up as
the great example by DIR. Lucius c..
Clark, chancellor Of American Uni
versity, in his convocation sermon yes
terday to the graduates and faculty
Of American University at Hamline
Methodist Episcopal Church.
1.-THE students Of any day need
help" said DR.. Clark. They need the
ordinary kind of good sense and pro-
lection the real professors can give
them. There are too many students
with high-powered cars and low-pow-
cred judgments to make 1t safe for
any of us. Some students are unwill.
ing to profit by any experience OF
their elders. They are unwilling to
accept a historic basis upon which
to begin their own life. They are not
to be satisfied with anything less
than experiencing realities. A series
of years with this attitute toward
life and the probabilities are that i'm
mature childhood running unrestrict-
ed, dealing with high-powered factors
Of life, will wake up dazed. having
missed a foolproof road and landed
against a stone wall Of reality. Our
professors are not intellectual nurse
maids caring for your hopeful youth.
They are crusaders with you In the
holy quest Tor truth"
Such students. DIR. Clark said. were
in need Of the guidance Of professors
endowed with the ability to follow
the example Of Jesus, who reduces
every truth to it's simplest terms of
expression" and "magnifies every
truth to it's highest power"
THAT professor" said DR.. Clark
"who can see so much in his own
field and magnify every item of il
so as to excite the students enthusi
asm for sustained mental activity Is
little less than a genius. These are
the kind of teachers our world must
have"
DR.. Clark pleaded for the leader
teacher Of today to sit down with that
other Teacher and learn how to teach
and lead"
Peace for the world. DR.. Clark be-
lieved, would be greatly advanced by
the teacher and student groups OF
the world who came unprejudiced to
their task and without years Of hatred
