ARTICLE VIII


LONDON, July % U.N.SO.
Disease caused by the last war
killed 28,379,000 civilians through
out the world, or double the num-
Der of dead soldiers, according to
Prof. L. Hersch, the Swiss au-
thority on international statistics.
Disease in the last war was in
voluntary. Disease in the next
war could conceivably be multi
piled by belligerent action, for the
League experts, far from ruling
psychological warfare out of &C.
count, declare it has deadly
military possibilities.
Against it's use is the fact that
once started, an epidemic might
spread to the people who started
it. Practically the whole nation
would have to be immunized be-
fore a belligerent government
could afford to spread the germs
Of disease among its enemy.
Conflict of Germs
But competent psychologists
insist that no serious considera-
ton of the next war would be
complete without regarding the
possibilities of germ warfare, and
in the present state of Europe ma
lions are vigilant for the least
indication that it may be IN
course of preparation.
Four eminent medical men,
Professor Pfeiffer, of Breslau;
Professor Bordet, of the Brussels
Pasteur Institute; Professor Mad
sen, of the State Serum Institute.
Copenhagen, and Professor Can
non, of the Harvard Medical
School, rendered to the League OF
Nations a classical report on
archaeological warfare at the
time when disarmament and the
prohibition of cruel and unusual
weapons appeared to be a posi-
bility.
All four men reported their re-
pugnance at the idea Of harness
ing that most humane Of sciences,
medicine, to the chariot of war,
but all four felt it their duty to
point out the technical POSSIBLE
ties.
Typhus, typhoid, cholera. bu-
bonic plague, the germs of an
thrax, CHAMBERS, rabies, and the
micrococcuS of Malta fever were
named as cultures which it would
be possible to cultivate and dissem-
mate among human being, horses
might be infected artifically with
CHAMBERS. and rinderpest might be
spread among the enemy'S herds.
Professor Cannon suggested that
airplanes might spread plant
parasites which might destroy
the enemy's crops.
Idea Is RidicuIed
Professor Pfeiffer admitted the
possibility of projecting highly
virulent strepto-staphylo-cocci, or
the germ of anthrax, CHAMBERS or
rabies in shells, grenades or
Shrapnel. But he thought it would
be much more dangerous "if for
instance, airmen were to throw
glass tubes filed with virulent
gouillon cultures Of CHAMBERS on
closely packed crowds.
Prof. Madsen opined that "air.
men or persons with a knowledge
of the topography of localities
might infect the central sources
of the water or milk supply Of q
big city, and thereby propagate
epidemics Of typhoid fever.

cases."

scout the idea. They say bac-

One-Room Schoolhouses
Are RAPIDLY Dwindlinp

Looking Into the past for pre-
cedence, 1t may be stated with some
confidence that number and posi-
bly, many small rural schools will, If
they have not already done so, close
their doors this spring without
thought Of ever opening them again,
says writer in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. And. strange is 1t may
appear. in the name of progress.
In the dozen years from 1920 to
1882, many thousands of small one
room rural schools were replaced by
$500 new consolidated schools in Al
states anc the total Of what in our
state of color blindness we are
pleased to call the ''little red school
house" of single room and single
teacher fell to few more than 49,
600. While this increase of CONSOLE
dated schools from 1880 to 1890
may have been and probably was
slowed up during recent years of
farm depression, there can be little
doubt that the demand for CONSOLE
dated schools will move up rapidly
now that rural communities begin to
see the dawn.
That there is acute need for the
better and broader district schools
Is quite obvious, for there Is no state
that has not had uneasy moments in
contemplation of the backwardness
of some of their most backward
school districts. AS cheaply as some
of them are conducted, most of the
smaller schools are expensive affairs,
especially when we get around to
weighing the cost Of education we
do not give our children.
The Office Of education, Depart
ment Of Interior, recently revealed in
startling totals what some Of these
smaller schools have become. In
1000 of the 143,OOO one-room schools
studied by the office Of education, for
example, the average attendance was
five or fewer pupils and $50 schools
were found which had only one pupil
each. Later news that escaped the
federal school authorities, possibly,
showed that a rural school near Ches-
ter, ILL.,, described as a high school,
was being opened every school morn
ing with no pupil answering the roll
call. The teacher in this school was
going through the formalities of
opening and closing the school at
regular hours each day in order to
maintain her insurance. While sew
eral pupils registered last Septem-
Der, the children gradually withdrew
from the school Qargely because of
removals from the district), until
none was left and the waste became
total.
