PREVENTION AND PROMOTION

It seems but a short time ago when
New Englanders afflicted with tu-
berculosis sought relief and cure on
the dry plains and mountains of the
great West. Prevention and cure at
home had not then been developed to
their present efficiency. when it can
be truthfully said that New England
now has lower death rate from
that dread disease than the average
for the country and that the State of
Maine leads in New England.
Scenic attractions are not all the
allurements of playground: health
full conditions should be the prime
requisite. New England has both to
offer. To a degree the outsider dis
covered that for himself. The thou
sands upon thousands of summer
homes throughout New England at
test that conclusion. There are
many more. who should come, who
should know what we have to offer.
No New England State has greater
incentive to see that this be done
than has Maine with her splendid
record due to liberal support, per-
sistent and effective service and in
telligent appreciation. That report OF
the New England Conference of Tu-
berculosis should be spread abroad
1t is good news, 1t shows Maine has
the facilities for prevention of dis
ease and the promotion of health.

CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Colonel Houses papers emphasize
that which we already should have
learned from a terrible lesson, that
certain forces set in motion cannot
be stopped by philosophical Part
ingtons standing on the shore and
waving their brooms.
Those who assume control over
mighty forces of aggression are
simply swept off their feet when the
tide rolls in. And the individuals
that go to the making of the human
tide appear no more sentient, no more
capable of volition than are the drops
that make up the tides of the ocean
Commenting on the revelations con-
tanned in the House papers Uncle
Dudley" Of the Boston Golbe makes
this very pertinent inquiry:
From all this one question stares
us out of countenance: What KIND
of world is it; what kind of an or
ganization of society, in which such
a spectacle as we have been con-
templating is possible "a world II
which some dozen or score of mer

kind of human society is it in which
these dozen or score Of men car
know for months ahead that such 6
catastrophe is coming and still keel

HEALTH AND INDUSTRY

It is gratifying to learn that
medical service in industry. on which
our manufacturing concerns are
spending millions annually, is prov
ing a paying investment. 1t may be
surprising to learn 1t Is estimated
that a quarter of a billion dollars In
wages are lost every year on account
Of illness in industry. Then there Is
the loss on account of wage workers,
who try to keep about. but whose
earning capacity is reduced by poor
health. Decreased output and great
er cost of labor turnover are import
ant factors for the employer to con-
slider as well. Surely here is need OF
the application Of the TRADITIONAL
ounce Of prevention. Included In
this are not only the sanitation of the
workshops, medical supervision but
the environment, the climate. as well.
Consideration Of the relation be-
tween output and the physical con-
dition of the worker, the pront &C
cruing to the employer as well as to
the employe, should serve to remind
one Of the advantages be had from
the climate, it's effect upon produc-
ton and profits. In that respect
what climate better than Names
may be found? Some climates are
enervating. Unless the mill workers
of the South differ from their fell
lows there in other pursuits they dc
not find the southern climate at all
seasons Of the year energ1zing, 70
say the least.
A State where the longevity record
runs as high as in Maine is not bad
State in which to live If one be con-
cerned to get the most of health out
Of life, not bad State for the work
er or the workers children. How
many think about that? A very i'm
portant matter, this of health ano
energy among ge-workers. NOW
that the employers are convinced o.
the value Of good health in industry
it is not improbable that environment
will receive more attention.

KENT'S HILL

The school has recently been
favored with visit from Tommy"
Atkins, a graduate student at Yale
University, who is visiting a few of
the schools in Maine under the aus
pieces of the New England Student
Y. NJ. c. A. Mr. Atkins met with the
Y. M. c. A. organization in the
Sampson Hall clubroom and gave the
boys splendid straightforward talk
on the personality of Christ. The
next morning he addressed the entire
student body in chapel. speaking with
a straightforwardnes and sincerity
that impressed all of his hearers.
The Literati SOCIETY,", the younger
of the two literary societies for boys,
is working on the plans for the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the founding of this society. This
organization held its first meeting
on March II, 1876. While the an
nouncements as to definite arrange
| ments cannot be made until a little
bit later. it is probable that the
actual birthday of the society will be
observed with a dinner and meeting
at Sampson Hall or at some hotel
near the school and that larger and
more general celebration will be
planned for commencement week.
Tuesday afternoon the school held
one of it's spontaneous half-holidays.
The weather and the snow conditions
were excellent and the entire student
body migrated on skis and snow
shoes to the eastern side of Torsey
Pond, where snow carnival was
held. The snow on the surface of
the pond furnished a smooth space
for fat races and the long hill with a
sharp snow drift conveniently located
in the middle offered excellent
natural advantages for ski jumping
and obstacle races. The systematic
i way in which the students settled
down to study hours in the evening
] indicated that the time had been well
spent.
A squad of II candidates is out for
places on the debating teams which
| are to meet Edward Little High
School and Hebron Academy re-
spectively in the Bates League. These
people are under the joint direction
of Mr.. H. G. Williford of the English
Department and of Mr.. Elmer H.
Campbell of the Class of '23. Mr..
Campbell is Junior in Bates and
was member of the Bates College
team which recently met and defeat
ed the University of Southern Cali
fo:nia. Several schools were anxious
to obtain Mr.. Campbell's services as
coach. but he yielded to the claims
of his own preparatory school. The
