PRENATAL CARE is DECLARED
PART OF CHILD'S EDUCATION
DIR. j. F. Rogers, Federal Expert, Holds Intelligent
Health Training Is Necessary to Mental
Development During School Years.

| in the time Of his most rapid develop
| ment," he says. "hut we do know that
in his prenatal days the mother
should lead as healthy and happy
life as possible and that the child
should he supplied with all the food
materials necessary for his bodily
building
First Year Is Trying.
'The first year." he continues, "is
a trying one for the child. and his
care during this time is of more i'm
portance in his preparation for school
than in any later period. From birth
he Is at the mercy. In most cases, Of
| those who, neither from instinct nor
| knowledge, know how to deal with
him, and he is easily the most help
less of new born animals for the long
est period. He is the most confiding
cub in the keeping of the most well
mea ming but by far the most ignorant
and bewildered of parents.
THE child Of the college-bred
mother is usually little better off
than that Of the mother who cannot
read. since so far as the knowledge
of the business of motherhood Is con-
cerned the head Of the former Is often
as empty as the latter. Latin. mathe
matics, literature the dissection Of
frogs and the analysis of flowers help
not y whit but colleges arose In the
musty atmosphere Of monasteries. and
while women are no longer grudgingly
admitted to their precincts. there Is
still the flavor of celibacy in their
training, and woman's most important
function finds scant reflection in the
curriculum. With all our libraries.
with all our science and all our elab-
crate machinery of civilization We
ought to be as wise as wild animal
which knows enough to furnish its
young with a perfect and enduring set
Of teeth"
In explaining the reason for health
work in the schools. DR.. Rogers says.
In part: I'm the good old days It was
only necessary to provide the child
with a clean shirt and trousers, wake
him up betimes, see that his face and
hands were washed. and, presto, he
was ready for school, Whether It was
his first or last day, this was about all
that was deemed necessary in the
preparation of any child. from any
home, for any school. Neither parent,
teacher nor any one else knew. that
more might be done to put him in
shape for his educatio progress.
Body Aids Mental Action.
'In the past so years students Of
both body and mind have learned a
very great deal. and especially as to
the relation of body and mind. We
know. for example, that many chill
dren are relatively dull because the
tools they work with. their eyes and
ears, are imperfect, while others make
slower mental progress than they
might because they are physically
handicapped in other ways. Many a
child who must repeat his years work
in school does so because of some
remediable defect Of ear, eye or other
organ.
Since no other agency has shown
interest or has been informed in the
matter, the school has taken upon
itself to find out whether each child

b. the teacher. One other reason why

timely thought presented by DR..
James Frederick Rogers. chief of the
division of physical education and
school hygiene Of the Bureau Of Edu'
cation The author of this revelation
in child culture explains that since
the health Of the child il fundamental
to the success Of his studies, the way

mothers and teachers is predicated on
the question, rs your child ready

While conceding that 1t is never too
late to prepare the child physically

emphas sizes that the period from con-
ception to school time is vastly more
important than that of his school life,
and the earlier his days the more
plastic he is.

EUROPEAN IRON AND STEEL PACT
ENDS HALF-CENTURY STRUGGLE

were about 100 more blast furnaces
than were needed to supply the
worlds dema nds. Not only the United
States, Spain and Sweden expanded
their output Of steel, but such hitherto
unindustrialized countries as Argen-
tina, Australia and even India had
built their own blast furnaces.
French and German steel manufac-
turers began to realize, at this point.
that they would have to swim together
or sink alone. But their countries
were still torn by war prejudice and
each side blamed the other for its de-
preston. German ny was unable to get
iron ore from Lorraine. as she had
when she owned the province herself.
France was supposed to get Ruhr
coke to smelt her ore in lieE Of reEa-
ations payments. hut the coke did
not arrive in sufficient quantities.
Motive for Ruhr Invasion.
This fact was partly responsible for
Poincares disastrous invasion Of the
Ruhr and his attempt to mine Ruhr
coal under French supervision. BY
1923 the French government had seen
the futility of this move and had ar
tually come around to inducing Ger
man and French industrialists to ar
range for an exchange Of coke and
ore. But Poincare proceeded with his
negotiations as politician rather than
as business man.
l. Eugene Schneider, the man who had
waged the steel war against Hugo
SHINES and who was chairman Of the
Comite des FORCES committee Of steel
manufacturers) made the following
comment on Poincare's diplomacy:
"Poincare lines the two sides up
around the table. waves the flag above
our heads and says come to terms"
But business is not done that way
IF the government had kept out If
this Industrial scrape. we manufactur-
ers would have worked out a sound
business agreement profitable to both
French and Germans before this"
Finally, the F'rencn government for
got its prejudices and let the German
and French steel ma nufa cturers draw
up peace agreement in 1924 which
paved the way for the present agree
ment. BY the present agreement each
country Is allotted certain per cent
OF the total steel production Of the
participating countries. II 1t exceeds
this ratio, II pays fine which goes
to the country which happens TO un-
derproduce its ratio. and consequently
suffers from unemployment. The fine
goes to alleviate unemployment. The
markets Of the world are divided up
The amount of ore which Germany
shall buy from France and from the
Sarre is also apportioned. Every
country is able TO keep the most accu-
rate gauge on the armaments which
the other countries are constructing
through production records which will
be exchanged between members.
Evening star., 1926-09-26

The world has an old.tire
prejudice against the young man
who leaves a paying job to fol-
low an inner urge. Perhaps that
prejudice is wise, in the main;
doubtless many a man has been
saved for success by his fear Of
being a rolling stone.
But there is another side to
the question:: Suppose John
Adams had remained at the
cobbler's bench in Difference to
his fathers wish; suppose
Stevenson had spent his life
bending over a draushtine
board in the office Of an ensi-
neer; suppose Abraham Lincoln
had stuck to rail-spIittins, which
meant sure dollar a day-how
much poorer would humanity be
in consequences!
A man who lives in Dayton
and knew the Wright brothers
when they ran a bicycle shop
told me how the neishbors
seoffed at their attempts to fly.
"Those boys could build up a
paying business" the wise ones
said. "if they would only give
up their wild ideas"
have sometimes wondered
how those neiehbors felt after
ward-and what the neishbors Of
Nazareth said when a young
man who had a good paying
trade as a carpenter turned his
back on the shop and went away
psnniless to transform the world.

the goods their factories produce and
the markets of the world. is one of
the most important steps toward Eu-
ropean peace which has been taken
since 1918.
The step came only after four
years OF constant negotiating and
more than fifty years Of struggle
which indirectly helped to bring on
the Franco -Prussian war. the World
War, the invasion Of the Ruhr and
the most titanic struggle between
steel trusts that Europe has ever
witnessed. The present iron and steel
peace can be called. certainly with
out fear Of contradiction, a peace Of
necessity.
The basic cause Of this long fight
was. of course, the fact that the geo
raphical forces which formed Eu-
rope happened to place iron ore and
coking coal very close to each other.
while man insisted upon drawing
political lines through this area until
1t was carved up into three countries
and one duchy, efficiently separating
ore from coke.
The Franco Prussian war was
fought primarily to bring Lorraine
ore over to German coke. Again III
the World War. one Of the French
aims was to get Lorraine ore back
again. Once she got it back, French
industrialists launched an extensive
campaign to make their steel indus
try the foremost in Europe. For

full Immediately after the armistice
there was a great demand for steel TO
rebuild the devastated areas. North
Africa and southern Europe also
bought heavily. French steel mills
not only boomed, but went outside
their boundaries to buy up foreign
competitors.
Steel War Then Waged.
Then began the great steel war be-
tween the two steel kings Of their re-
spective countries-Eugene Schneider
Of France and the late Hugo SHINES
II Germany. 1t waged throughout
Europe. Schneider bought up one Of
the great steel mills in SiIesia and
SHINES acquired its rival. Schneider
purchas sed over 80 per cent OF the
great steel and munitions works in
Czechoslovakia and. not to be out
done, SHINES bought up it's competi-
tor. When SHINES got the Iron
mountain" In Austria, Schneider also
went into that country. The war was
carried even into Jugosiavia. Hungary
and Turkey.
To both Schneider and SHINES II ap-
peared that steel markets were in
exhaustible. Therefore the chief strug-
gle was to acquire the means Of pro.
duction. So also ii appeared TO most
French steel manufacturers in 1919
1920. The crash came after the de-
vastated areas had been rebuilt and
the warmade markets were satiated.
Then both sides awoke to the fact that
during the war every country had ex-
panded it, steel industry and there
