Taking advantage of the lull he had
met in voyage on the political seas,
Candidate Roosevelt last week decided
to do bit Of real-life navigating.
with his three sons he set sail aboard
40-foot yawl on six day cruise up
the New England coast.
Just how is this modern Roosevelt
related to the former President,
"T. R.2" This is a question which
many are asking and we hope to
clarity it. AS we understand it,
Franklin D. Roosevelt is not a son of
the incompatible Teddy" as was
thought by particularly staunch Re-
publican friend of ours, who on hear
ing his recent speech of acceptance
asked, "Tsk! Tsk! What would his
father thinkp He is instead Theo-
dore Roosevelt's fifth cousin. Curious
ly, enough, Mrs. Roosevelt D. can
| claim closer relationship to t. r. than
her husband since she is his niece,
the daughter of his brother.
But despite the remoteness of their
relationship. this Roosevelt of 1882 has
taken over almost without variation
many of the program policies of the
Roosevelt of 1912. His aim, he tells
us, is one of Progressivism in govern
ment. His stand for reforestation is
but variation Of T. RS stand for
conservation of natural resources
Where his predecessor in his campaign
of 1912 called for Square deal and
action" F. RS battle cry is one fol
action and a new DEAL"

The Oxford DonS

THE American system Of grading
Il scholars is not a universal one,
according to Chapman.
THE dons at oxford who received
the Rhodes scholars we're somewhat
puzzled by the decimal fractions as
to merit with which the Americans
had documented the applicants, es-
pecially by the points for leader
ship, So-called. which appeared in
some Of the certificates" he says.
The dons waited to find out by
experience what these points for
leadership might mean. and one of
them is said to have written to the
American shippers: Please do not
send us any more leaders"
Chapman calls the present era a
"science-mad era" He believes,
however, that a reaction against 1t
is setting in.
He believes that an esthetic re-
vival is going TO set in and that it
will receive its inspiration from
archaeology.
ut would indeed be a normal re-
action in any era that has been mad
for science" he says, IF it should
be followed by a revival of the fine
arts.
THE smoldering embers Of archie
ology always have been the source
from which the fine arts we're fired"

Children Need Health instruction

/ and there help to build tissue and
to repair broken parts.
In classes in civics and in govern
ment, far too little stress is placed
in most instances on the work Of
health departments.
Children should learn something
about the way a community safe
guards it's health through health
departments. The girl should know
something about motherhood and
the Importance Of prenatal care.
Even history can be utilized to
teach health. It can be shown how
great governments in the past were
destroyed through improper atten-
ton to sanitation.
1t is probably not important that
children be taught in high school
all essential facts regarding tuber-
culosis, venereal disease, Bright's
disease and similar troubles to
which the human flesh is heir, but
teaching of community hygiene will
take into consideration the causes
of all diseases that are controlled
on a community basis. Z"

Twenty Pounds of Books

CHAPMAN is most outspoken in
~ his criticism Of the American
educational system.
IF you glance out OF the window
at any passing child or youth, with
his twenty pounds of books in
satchel, you will see the disease
that is ravaging our young people,
he says.
The American mind pictures
education as a succession Of long
lanes with hurdles in them which
the scholar must leap over. The
hurdles are books. The teacher is
as much harnessed by regulations as
the student.
The whole system is designed to
shackle personal influence. Every
point in this system-which ought
to distribute spiritual energy-is
furnished with a conductor.
That education is not baggage,
but power. is very simple truth,
which to the American mind seems
incomprehensible.
Our marking systematic grad
ing Of everything by percentages
has been borrowed from business
life and Enthusiastically developed into
a kind Of amateur psychology. Your
American believes that you can ex-
press anything whatever by figures.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

regularly, and to take proper care
of the flngernails and hair.
BY the time the child reaches
high school, however, it is also in
the period of adolescence, and in
that period it is Of the greatess i'm
portance that 1t learn something
definite about the mechanics Of the
human body and the relationship
Of physical health to a satisfactory
life.
It Is for this reason that leading
high schools have established
courses in domestic economy for
both boys and girls, in which they
are taught the elementary facts
about foods.
Moreover, it is rather useless to
teach children about food until they
have learned something about the
physiology of the digestive tract.
1t is simple to trace food from
the time 1t enters the mouth until
it is broken up into all essential
constituents that are carried by the
blood to different parts of the body

It Still Is EXCEPTIONAL

NNE startling, poignant, and dra-
" matte crime has warped the
perspective Of most of us. In spite
Of the tragic Lindbergh case, the
suffering which all parents undergo
in regard to their children is not
warranted by the incidence Of kid
naping at the present time.
It Is not unreasonable for us TO
band together and say, such a
thing must never happen again. %
but it is Just a little silly for US to
assume that episodes Of that sort
have become the regular incidents
Of our daily life.
Crime is on the increase, and It
should be checked and cured, but
many who never felt a wound are
acting as II a highwayman lurked
on every doorstep. A resolute in
clination TO seek out causes and re-
move them is a good thing, but
there Is no health in a communal
panic which runs all the way from
the advocacy Of lynching to the
espousal OF increased capital punish
ment, or even, as observed in one
letter to the editor, burning at the
stake for slayers Of small children.

In the field of purely psychological
causation, I would identify only one
item actually as contributing to the
growth and power Of organized out
lawry. And that is the written and
spoken sentiment Of those who say;
''Things are terrible. The forces OF
responsibility have broken down"
In the light Of cold fact, it is a
gross exaggeration to declare that
we are powerless victims in the
hands of the mobsters. would not
deny that AL Capone, for instance,
created a very considerable machine
in his own interest within Chicago
and that, on a much smaller scale
underworld emperors are known In
New York City.
But, after all, this represents
comparatively small proportion II

in our own city the average indi-
vidual has every right and mathe-

No Real Reform

THIS government has not
Il adopted one outstanding meas
ure Of reform or constructive prog
ress since the war. Even after three
years of depression, it is expert
encing great difficulty in meeting
the obvious needs Of distressed peo-
pie.
If you will go through the plans
that have been offered for relief, you
will find a basic similarity in them.
ANY one Of them could have been
adopted long ere this and would
have been adopted but for the
scramble over credit. Nincvy per
cent of the oratory and delay at
Washington is campaign strategy.
What the leaders Of each party
have been working for is to impress
people with the idea that their
crowd is making most OF the noise,
and all Of it goes back to the num-
Der of votes that might be alienated
or attracted, not on principle, but
because of some specific act which
politicians can point out to them.
