THE American Bar Journal, official
publication Of the American Bar Asso-
citation, made an effective reinstatement in
a recent issue of the astonishing facts
about the place of American history in
American education.
Surveys recently completed" the
article in the Bar Journal notes, indicate
that % of our states are without minimum
requirements for teaching American his
tory i'm their schools.
"Eighty-two per cent of our colleges
and universities do not require study of
our history, and many do not make a
course in American history an entrance
requirement.
1T has been estimated that more than
half of our voters have had no American
history taught in school,"
THE Hearst newspapers have been
i calling national attention to this
amazing situation for many months.
The public interest in the situation
has been intense.
But the progress maze toward It's cor
rection has been discouragingly small.
Everybody AGREES it is the duty of
American schools to impart thorough
knowledge of American history to Ameri-
can youth.
Responsible educators especially DE-
PLORE the obvious and woeful short
comings of the schools in this respect.
But the corrective program is slow
to start and slower to gain momentum.
THE powerful influence of the great
i American Bar Association should give
needed emphasis and impetus to this vital
program.
1t has undertaken to instigate and
support a movement ito bring home to
the American people thorough under
standing of our history as the best argu-
ment for the American system of liberty
under law
IN addition, X, has pledged Itself TO
develop public studies and discussions of
our institutions, their spirit, our way of
life, and our war and postwar objectives.'
And in the furtherance of these
enterprises, IT has expressed the hope that
they should not prove controversial

4 MOTHER method that has
"A contributed TO our knowl-
edge is the development Of
aseptic surgery.
If a shoulder pain gets un-
bearable and the flannel and hot
iron don't work, the surgeon
can cut in safely and see If
there is anything he can fix.
This is what he does with
tn ruptured short rotator
tendon.
Under treatment the wider
employment of massage electric
treatments such as diathermy
and faradiSm, the injection of
novocain into the tender spots,
has done wonders.
Rupture Of the short rotator
tendon occurs usually in middle
aged people after strain from
lifting or fall.
They feel a snap in the
shoulder accompanied by severe
pain and muscle Spasm.
X-ray examination is Of little
value in this type Of case, but
the history, plus the fact that
movements of the shoulder in
certain directions causes pain,
makes the diagnosis.

by Dr. Logan CIendening

ONE of the minor, silent revo-
" lutionS, but none the less
important and striking advances
in medical science. has been in
the study of those old Affections
of mankind-the pains around
the muscles and tendonS. like
lumbago, seiatica. sacro-iliac,
wry neck. tennis elbow, etc.
Such terms as "lumbago" or
"sciatica" are now used almost
exclusively by the laity and
whether they know 1T or not,
they are nothing but labels,
mere smoke screens for ignor-
ance.
A patient is all pleased with
himself when he has learned to
say
II have lumbago."
He thinks il shows a profound
knowledge of the situation, when
all it means is:
II have a pain i'm the general
region of the lumbar muscles
OF the back"
NOW the medical profession
~ was in exactly this blissful
psychological state of mind so
years ago, and they used the
terms lumbago and sciatica as
if they had definite meanings.
Since then we have learned
that there is always something
behind these terms.
A few weeks ago in this
column we discussed the latest
findings on sciatica-that in over
half the cases il is due TO
protrusion of an intervertebral
disk. and can be relieved by
surgery.
A quiet accumulation Of in
formation has occurred around
that humble but troublesome af-
Fiction, chronic pain in the
shoulder.
Forty years ago il was "rheu-
matism" (that name satisfied
everybody and the diagnosis
was made when the patient
made a wry face, put his OPP
posite hand on his shoulder and
rubbed and shrugged.
And the treatment was TO put
a piece of flannel over it and
apply hot iron.
NOW. according to an article I
~ have been reading by DR..
n. G. Moseley. of Montreal,
Canada. we have quite definite
conceptions of the three common
causes of chronic shoulder pain.
They are. Cd inflammation
of the bursa under the acromial
process of the shoulder blade:
t2) calcified deposits around the
tendons and muscles, and CD

CIMPLE scientific rules for the

Prof. Chauncey d. Leake and

school in San Francisco have
presented these rules. based on
chemical and me dicai re-
searches. 10 the official organ Of
the American Association for

THE scientists have formu-
L lated the rules as follows:
AS soon as there IL the
slightest suspicion of war gases,
because of fogs, peculiar Odors,
smarting or stinging In the eyes,
nose or throat, or coughing or
sneezing, tie a cloth soaked I'm
baking soda or diluted kitchen
bleach solution over the nose

Keep the cloth vet by re-
peated use of the solution.

"If eyes, nose or throat are
irritated, wash them with a
sJlution of a teaspoonful of bak-
Ing soda, dissolved in an ordi-
nary glass of water.
eff splashes OF liquid war
gas, mustard gas or Iewisite, or
similar sticky liquid gas are
suspected on the skin. blot the
skin promptly and repeatedly
with wet cloth with full
strength kitchen bleach solution.
Lather thoroughly with soap,
especially green liquid soap, and
rinse copiOusIy with water.
"Outer clothing splashed with
war gas liquid should be thrown
out.
THE most readily available
effective oxidant materials are
the common kitchen bleach
solutions, such as ClOrox. These
should he diluted with water for
application to the mucous men,
branes, the inner Innings OF the
nose, etc"
PROFESSOR LEAKE and his
colleagues have devised these
rules of "self-aid" for meeting
Ordinary war gases. -
Such gases are mustard gas,
lewiste. ethyl dichloroarsine and
choloropicrin and some others.
Chemically they are related

chloroform and ether.
Their common feature Is that
their action is neutralized by

OF COURSE American history should

OF COURSE American history should
~ be taught in American schools.
The vast majority of the American
people, now learning of the delinquency
of their schools in this respect for the
first time, are shocked that American
history is NOT taught and studied
universally.
But the American people must not be
content to be indignant about the matter.
They should demand and GET COR
rection of the matter.
Many more organizations like the
American Bar Association should put
their powerful influence behind the cor
receive movement, and not merely
acknowledge the shameful neglect preva-
lent in the schools but put an end to that
neglect.
1t is not controversy" which denies
American history its rightful and impor-
tant place in American education. The
fault is with educators who fail to fulfill
responsibilities they admit, and with the
people themselves who fail to require the
full performance Of duty from those
entrusted with basic duties to the country.
