Your Health and Its Care

Delivery of Aachen Ultimatum
SHOULD AN EPILEPTIC MARRY?
Fine young man Is aubject to
epileptic attacks or spells, slight
ones he does not fall or have a
general lit or
convulsion but
he is out for
several m 1 n -
utes. A niece
of his and a
cousin both
have similar
spells. The
young man re
ceived a medl.
cal discharge
from the army
a year ago. He
Dt Brad? claims it start
ed when he had a sunstroke. He
has become engaged to marry,
la his condition hereditary?
Would his children be likely to
have epilepsy? (Mrs. A. L.)
Did his niece and cousin have
sunstroke too? No, ma'am sun
stroke does not cause any form
of epilepsy.
Further than to say that bad
Inheritance is mainly respon
sible for epilepsy, in the opinion
of many medical authorities, I
can only add that no specific
cause of epilepsy is known.
Not epilepsy itself but the
neuropathic or psychopathic de
feet of which it Is a manifesta
tion runs in the family. In one
member of the family this may
be manifest as epilepsy; in an
other as feeble-mindedness; in
another as Insanity or Inebriety
or drug addition or migraine or
just some kind of moral, de
pravity or delinquency.
Where an individual has epi
leptic fits (convulsions) which
began in early life (childhood or
adolescense) marriage should be
forbidden. In mild cases so
called petit mal (lapses of con
sciousness but no spasms or con
vulsions) marriage may be per
mitted if the facts are fully re
vealed to the prospective hus
band or wife.
In this instance the family his
tory Is unfavorable children
born to this young man would
be too likely to be feeble-mind
ed, epileptic or otherwise defer
tive. If he marries at all it should
be only to a woman who, for
some reason is incapable of bear
ing children anyway. It is unjust
for such a person to marry with
the intention or understanding
that there shall be no children,
if the partner is fit to be a parent.
As a matter of fact no doctor,
no authority can say positively
that offspring of such a marriage
will be defective in any way .
Of course one or more children
of an epileptic may be perfectly
normal. But I have tried to an
swer the correspondent's query
by giving what I believe is the
consensus of medical opinion to
day.

Training For Business
Babion Forecasts Revolution In Education
By Roger W. Babion
Babson Park Man , Oct. 13
(Special Correspondence) EdU'
cation Is the one Industry In
which almost no Improvement
has been made during the past
fifty, or perhaps, one hundred
years. It Is true that better
choolhouses have been built
and the teachers are being bet
ter paid. Whether or not these
teachers are as well succeeding
in winning the hearts and better
ing the lives of their students Is
debatable. Certainly, the educa
tional standards have been de
clining, while the educational ex
penses have been Increasing. For
instance, forty years ago the
communities from which I drew
employees required those who
took the secretarial course to
type 80 words a minute before
graduating. This requirement
has slowly been reduced so that
today a girl can graduate from
a secretarial course by doing 35
words a minute.
Thoughts Per Minute
Are Most Important
However, employers are not
so much Interested in the "words
per minute," which one can do,
as In thM "thoughts per minute."
The subjects which are not be
ing taught in school are the im
portant subjects. As a result,
most employers believe that edu
cation today Is as backward as
was the electrical Industry 200
years ago, In Franklin's day.
when electricity could be ob
tained only by flying a kite in
the skies. School superintendents
have yet to learn that the Im
portant 'hlngs of life are the un
seen and spiritual not class
recitations written examinations
and memory tests.
With a set of Encyclopedia
Britnnnlca on his desk plus the
ability to rend, write and figure,
the businessman has, for prac
tical purnosrs, all the Informa
tion available to any college
graduate. The Important ques
tion Is whether ho has those in
tangible assets, such as charac
ter, industry Initiative, courage
and persistence. These are what
our homes and schools should
teach.
High School Marks
Are Not Paramount
I have been able to get satis
factory statistics on every Indus
try except the educatlnnnl In
dustry. Therefore. I cannot prove
the students receiving the high
est m,arlcs in school do not turn
out to be the most useful and
successful citizens. Certainly
character, Industry, Initiative,
eournge and persistence are of
Infinitely more value than the
ability to get high marks. In
fact, I believe that those who
have these qualities will make
a success In life whether or not
they ever see the Inside of a col
lege; while young people lacking
these qualities could never
mount to anything with a dozen
Ph.Ds.
What is the reason and what
is the answer? Educators tell us
that It's a question of Inheritance
and home training, but I beljeve
it is much more than this. There
is something physically and
spiritually wrong with a boy
who has not these vital qualities.
Educators should go about
stamping out Ignorance, faulty
Judgment, laziness, etc., as phy
sicians have stamped out small
pox, cholera and typhoid fever.
Preachers Should Be
Of Greater Help
The preachers should be of
greater help In re-generatlng
youth. Jesus hit the educational
nail on the head when He said
that we all must be born again
In order to amount to anything.
I am much interested In what
the mental experts are accom
plishing at certain state insane
asylums. It seems paradoxical
that the laboratories In these
asylums may solve the educa
tional problem of the schools
and colleges; but present expert
ments are pointing that way.
The Babson Institute of 1994
will have a surgical department
to operate on the glands and a
dietary kitchen to supply certain
students with needed minerals
which they lack because of their
home soil conditions. I am told
that dumping students In Ice
water has waked them up and
has changed the entire course of
their lives. At any rate, only
when we have discovered a fool
proof method of arousing youth
spiritually and mentally will we
be able to pay our present public
ai'Dis oi itfuu.uuu.uOO.noo a year.
