A NEW IDEA OP MAY DAY.
o
.. ... . i l 1 .1 P --..l TV.. Tl. .. .1,
If T la sometimes bettor to go uacicwgru mini iumra. nuuuy, i"
IgL first o May, is Child-IIeultli Day, for example. Instead of dedi
cating the d.fy to bomb throwiiij,', protest strikes and red flag pa
rades, the American Educational Food Council has chosen the day
to open an attack upon America's high infant mortality rate. Old
fashioned May-Day dances are advocated, and talks onJiet and per
sonal hygiene are urged.
From the .standpoint of the Pink Intellectuals this is reaction of
the rankest sort. . They maintain that better food for babies will re
sult in weakening tho human race. For the weaker infants will
survive, when for tho good of the race they should die. Fur bet
ter to sing the Internationale and take another Ktep toward the
Dictatorship of the Proletariat!
The new view is the old one. May Day is regarded as the open
ing of spring and summer, a day for joy and gladness, more har
mony and less friction, of spring flowers and bright ribbons, freshly
scrubbed faces and better food. ' .
And the old view is the better one. The tots who are now
kicking the slats of their cribs and the youngsters who are looking
forward hopefully to the closing of school arc after all the presi
dents secretaries, senators and teachers of 19G0. If we imperil their
iuture, it seems fairly plain that we imperil our national future.
.Secretary' Hoover who heads the American Child Health asso
ciation dramatizes this truth as follows:
"Merchants lose loss than one per rent throutth bad debts, which
arc tho hazards of business. But humanity loses nearly olKht per
cent uf itu Breatest capital, children, through tho hazards of
Illness." , ' , ,
Disease and death in tho child life o America are appaling.
Every year around 4U0,()00 graves become the last resting places
of children under ten years of age, a wasteful tragedy, for many
of them with proper care, could be saved.
Such care depends upon parents, and tho big job for the first of
May, therefore, is to interest the parents and start them on the
road of health education.
Education of this sort is easy to procure for the facilities are in
Medford and every other district of the state, the only thing neces
sary is interest. , .
With the decline of May Day as a day of economic disruption,
the time is opportune for the inauguration of May First as a day of
physical reconstruction.
This may be reaction from the standpoint of the ultra modern
intellectual, but it is 'the sort of reaction the world needs.

for soup, not thrown away, for that is
sinful waste. The war department

A healthy normal Kirl in her early
teens oughtto close her schoolboonk
with a banc at 1(1 o'clock, nt tho very
latest, and mako a running divo into
tho hny. which sho should hit hard
for a nine hour non-stop run.
ISut that is not nil. Instead of cpm
plaiiihiK to each other and the rucks
and rills about the homo work evil,
parunts ought to use their influence to
ciimlnato from the. schools the plnguo
of class c pedagogues and employ a
reasonable number of teachers who
can qualify in class A or II. Of course
this weeding out process, must em
brace the htgherups as well. The
teachers are not wholly to blame for
tho homo work abuse they plead
that the schedules laid down by tho
politicians of the state department
call for so many hours of this dam
phoolishness for every pupil. We
must amputate at the neck in order
to Insure the elimination of tho dis
ease. A girl In her early teens should have
no stint of study laid down for her out
of regular school hours. That sort of
abuse seriously interferes with tho
proper education nnd -training of the
potential mothers of the race. If such
a. girl puts I nfivo hours at school In
a day. she has certainly gone the limit
of endurance for a normal girl unless
the school hours, have beon frittered
away with some such' noncense us
class O pedagogues like to Indulge in.
The girl's time out of school should be
devoted wholly to her music or other
private study: to play, recreation, di
version; nnd. most important of all. to
helping mother, or in other words,
learning the rudiments of homo keep
ing. This last named, culture hns tho
cordial contempt of all class C peda

and 1 hope even nn occasional father
can comprehend that there is nothing
a girl can learn in school that deserves
serious consideration as opposed to
the art of home culture.
