The Health of School Children

Greatest Care
By Dr. GEORGE B. YOUNG. Public Health Commissioner of Chicago
HE DAY IS NOT FAR DISTANT WHEN EVEN SMALL COM
MUNITIES WILL AS SOON THINK OF RUNNING A SCHOOL
WITHOUT MAKING PROVISION FOR INSTRUCTION IN PRE
VENTIVE MEDICINE AS THEY WOULD OF RUNNING IT
WITHOUT A PRINCIPAL.
The VISION, the HEAEDsTG, the SPEECH of pupils, their
PHYSICAL DEFORMITIES, their MENTAL DEFECTS, their
NUTRITIONAL STATUS, all have come to be matters requiring
attention by medical inspectors of schools and justifying CORREC
TION at the EXPENSE OF THE COMMUNITY.
To point out the CAUSES of the diseases and defects of school
children is only going HALF THE DISTANCE. We are becom
ing convinced that the true method is to work for the REMOVAL
of the CONDITIONS which permit these causes to become opera
tive. These underlying conditions almost all arise from the POV
ERTY that has its roots in INDUSTRIAL. INEFFICIENCY, the
IGNORANCE that hinders the advance of the poor and the UN
SOCIAL NARROW MINDEDNESS that limits the appreciation
by the well to do of their duty to their fellow men.

The Love That I-iets Go.
Fiction is filled with stories of men
who loved their sweethearts enough
to let them go, but we find few
enough instances of the sort in real
life. Yet one such comes to light
by way of Milwaukee, and it shall not
pass without being chronicled. The
name of the man is Simon Koppel.
and he is a ragpicker. Simon is seventy-seven,
and his wife is fifty. Be
cause he loves her so much that he
cannot endure seeing her go hungry
Simon recently applied for a divorce
so that she might be free to marry
some younger man who would care
for her.
Here are some nuggets from the rag
picker's philosophy:
"We poor people need more love in
our lives, for we have so little else."
"Would one be so selfish as to make
the one he loves suffer so she "can be
near him?"
"I am nearly done with this world.
My wife has many years yet to live.
I love my wife, and she loves me. But
I can't support her. I can't let her go
hungry, so I say that we go to a
judge and get a divorce, and she can
get a younger man." x
"Do I love my wife? It is because I
do love my wife that I will give her
to another who can give her a better
living than me."
It is of record that John Ruskin re
leased his wife because she loved an
other. Yet Ruskin had his books and
his ideals, his fame and his friends.
But what has the poor ragpicker? He
gives up all.

He congratulated the Tent on its rap

Dimick addressed the members and
told how a few years ago this tent
was organized under unfavorable
conditions. He told of its struggle to
exist, of how a few loyal members
met in his office owing to lack of
funds to rent a hall. He expressed
his wonder at the large attendance,
and the wonderful growth inthe
membership. A drill team of the
Maccabees is being organized sand

should reflect how much hotter and

peeved because it is too cold they
should thank God that they are not

Are We In Danger of Famine?
At the recent meeting of tho Na
tional Soil Fertility league H. H.
Gross, the president, said:
Statistics show that agriculture in the
United Slates has been so neglected that
within'twenty years we shall be forced to
import our principal food products from
foreign lamls. We are facing an inevita
ble famine unless the soil is greatly im
proved. The process of taking without giv
ing cannot be long continued. The
soil is uot inexhaustible. We have
reached the time when our farming
methods must be revolutionized if we
would escape disaster. The uote of
warning has been sounded often
enough, but it has uot been heeded ex
tensively enough. We must give to
the soil more thau we take from it.
We must leave it richer than we
found it. Crop rotation, fertilizing and
scientific farming have become abso
lute and immediate necessities to the
salvation not only of the American
farmer but of the American nation.
The simple truth is that our total
population is increasing much more
rapidly than our agricultural popula
tion. This means that the demand for
agricultural products Is growing faster
than the supply. But this is not the
worst of it. Our farms on the whole
are decreasing in productiveness.
These facts are enough to point the
imminent danger. Already we are at
I the turn of the tide when we must be
gin buying our foodstuffs from abroad.
To remedy these conditions it is not
enough to say. "Back to the soil." We
must also make our motto. "Give back
to the soil more than we take from it"

Greater Than Wealth.

the United States supreme court, left

After his long life of usefulness to his
fellow men that poverty is a higher
distinction than the wealth of a Rock
efeller or a Carnegie. It was not for
lack of opportunities that Justice Har
lan was poor. He cstne from a distin
guished family in easy circumstances,
his father having been attorney gen
eral of Kentucky and a lawyer of na
tional fame. The son was a colonel in
the Union army, a lawyer, a county
judge and also attorney general of
Kentucky. He was an unsuccessful
candidate for congress and for gov
ernor. He was a member of the elec
toral commission in 1876 and was ap
pointed to the United States supreme
bench the next year. At that time he
was forty-four years old.
Now it is apparent that aside from
his judicial service a lawyer of such
prominence might easily have amassed
something of a fortuue before the age
or forty-four, or might, that is. if his
bent had been for money getting
From his career it may be assumed
that he was a man of such public
spirit that, like Lincoln, he kept him
self poor by helping his party and the
principles in which he believed.
After his elevation to the supreme
bench he gave more than one-third of
a century to his country, that does not
remunerate any of her servants siifti
ciently to enable them to grow rich
