WHY DOES GEORGIA NEED
A LAI.GER SANATORIUM?
lack of room cause of delay
IN ADMITTING OF
PATIENTS
State Of Georgia Loses $9,000,000 A*
Result Of Death From
Tuberculosis
Because the present Sanatorium has
only 100 beds.
There is at present a waiting list of
60 patients begging that they be admit¬
ted to treatment. There are seldom
less than 35 on this list.
During the past 18 months we have
averaged admission of 19 patients per
month. If we continue to be able to
do this, it will take over 3 months to
reach and admit to treatment the 60th
patient. These months of suffering to
the patient and heartaches for the fam¬
ily not to mention the time lost in
curing the patient, and .he advance or
the disease, many cases lose all chances
of cure in three months. The average
time between receipt of application and
admission of the patient during the past
year was 5 weeks.
Approximately 3,000 patients die ot
Tuberculosis in Georgia annually. For
every death, it is estimated that there
are 10 other persons ill with Tubercu¬
losis. .
Sociologists value human life at $3,
000. if this figure is correct, Georgia
lias a loss of $9,000,000 a year by reason
of deaths by Tuberculosis alone! The
loss from sickness from Tuberculosis
amounts to such a figure as to almost
stagger comprehension.
Georgia is furnishing not a single bed
for the care of Tubercular Negroes, and
yet 45% of our population are Ne¬
groes, and Tuberculosis is two or three
times more frequent among the Ne- :
groes, who are brought in close contact
with the White race as cooks, and ser
vents, and what is more serious, as
nurse girls for our children, and thus
spreading the disease to the White race.
Th larger Sanatorium would make it
po.- idle to take care of 100 Negroes and
3 ) White. $500,000 would build a
r: ;dern Sanatorium to accomplish this.
The number of patients rejected in
1921 was 56, some because they were ;
too Sanatorium far advanced to equipped be benefited at pres- by j 1
t as
discouraged by the ‘
ent; some were
hi’.gth of the wait and went elsewhere
f i treatment; some died while wait- j
lug to he admitted. A larger, more J
r i 'i-n Sanatorium would reduce the;
i:.milter of rejected patients and deaths j
There are no accommodations for
the care of children, they cannot be
1 ly treated under the present
<• ratio--:*. The new Sanatorium would
I, tilt with this problem in mind, for
it is in children that the disease is
found in its earliest stages, and most
<. ret done for Tuberculosis, both as
a ii. .o and as a problem in Public
1 th and Public Welfare.
THE SOCIAL DISEASES—
DESTROYERS OF
PUBLIC HEALTH
T raeli, one of the greatest of Eng¬
land’- prime ministers, once said: “Pub¬
lic ii mlth is the foundation upon which
res .- the happiness of the people and
the welfare of the State.”
Nations ii.,3 and fall, dependent to
» v I irge extent on the public health
(- to State. The great Roman Era
I withstood ail combined forces ar¬
ia. l against it until undermined by
'be gay. riotous and immoral living of
its own citizens.
t wo of the greatest and most pow
er "l enemies of any nation are the
poci, i diseases of syphilis and gonor
n. ; . These disea es strike, not with
the initial torce rs some other dis¬
eases, such as typhoid and pneumonia,
hut none the less sure as to the ulti¬
mate result on the health and life of
the individual.
They recognize no social status. In
IN language of Horace, ’They visit with
equal tread the palace of the rich and
the hut of the poor.” They not only
afiect the individual whom they at
ta k, but bring untold suffering and
unhappiness to his or her offspring.
Gonorrhoea is responsible for a large
Percentage of blindness at birth. Syph
!ii is largely responsible for the de¬
formity of children. Truly the sins of
lather or mother are visited upon
fcereratioiis yet unborn.
At the entrance of the United States

TYPICAL SPORTS MODES
Sports hats have the privilege of
being bright find during as well as
practical. They are chosen with ref¬
erence to the demands to be made
upon them, but in any case they must
be becoming and afford some protec
tion.
Two very pretty models pictured
here portray elegancies in hats of the
sports type that add to their fascina
tion. One of these models is of light
colored felt, faced with straw braid
and trimmed with leaves cut from
felt. The other is of fancy straw
draped with a scarf of printed Per
sian silk.
SOME COATS ARE BLOUSED
!tl§^
No season for many a year has
wholly neglected the smart, bloused
coat. Bloused models are with us this
season, in many of the handsomest
wraps, and an example appears in
the coat pictured, which has also ap¬
propriated a collar of “summer fur.”
The coat is long, with ample sleeves.

EDUCATION OF
THE CHILDREN
Nobody knows what is the best edu¬
cation for a child. Civilization is ever
guessing—and experimenting.
We know what in the child’s educa¬
tion vve think is good for us. The em¬
ployer of bookkeepers wants quick, a<>
<-urate figures and neat penmen. Tit
factory owner wants skill of bund. A
certain type of tax payer wants redu
ed school costs. All of us want econo¬
my with efficiency.
But what kind of training is best for
the child we do not know, though most
of us talk about it as if cock-sure. If
we knew, and agreed in our knowledge,
educational progress .would halt right
there.
It is well, though, that every prevail¬
ing trend in education should have its
skeptics, critics and knockers, and tfiat
is why Dr. Pritchett’s latest challenge
is useful. Such criticisms awaken inter¬
est, force re-examination of accepted
beliefs and stimulate improvement.
Our schools otherwise might go to
seed.
i This tug-of-war between the ideal and
I the practical is never finished. The
| forces are too evenly balanced to admit
! of anything other than peace without
! victory.
I Our children must learn how to get
on in the world. That is practical. They
should also learn how to understand
the world. That is ideal.
If we get out of our schools some¬
thing like a fifty-fifty balance, we re¬
ceive our money’s worth.—Exchange.
STEER CHASES SHERIFF
UP CIRCUS TENT POLE
M ayoress. April 5.—Driven up a tent
pole by a wild west show steer at the
carnival now showing at Hebardville,
was the experience of Sheriff Sweat and
County Officer Hiers last night.
The officers were seated in the grand¬
stand at the show when the steer broke
loose. Rushing madly around the ring
several times, the steer finally headed
straight fQr the local county officers.
I A race for the nearest tent pole fol
lowed. in which Officer Hiers beat the
sheriff by a hairbreadth. The officers
lost no time in scampering up the polo.
Officer Hiers not stopping until he was
j near the top of the tent.
The steer, finding that ho had been
! outwitted, bellowed madly around the
foot of the pole until the manager of
-the show called in a cowboy, who roped
and threw the steer in true wild west
fashi<tn.

THE BLIND C HILD
They tell me, father, that tonight you’ll
wed another lnide—
That you will clasp her on your arms
where my dear mother died;
That she will lean her graceful head
upon your loving breast,
When she, who lies low in death, in
her last hours did rest.
They say her name is Mary, too, the
name my mother bore,
But father is she kind and true, as the
one you loved before?
And are her steps so soft and low, hei
voice so sweet and mild—
Say, fathei-, will she love me too, your
blind and helpless child?
Please, father, do not bid me come to
night to meet your bride;
1 cannot greet her in that room where
my dear mother died.
Her pictures hanging on the wall, her
books are lying there,
And there's the harp her fingers touch¬
ed. and there’s the vacant chair.
The chair by which I used to kneel to
say my evening prayer,
Dear father, it would break my heart, I
cannot meet her there.
But when I cry myself to sleep as now
I often do,
Then softly tij^my chamber creep, my
new mamma and you.
Now father, let us kneel down here
and to our Savior pray
That God’s right hand may lead you
both up life’s long weary way.
A prayer was offered soft and low “I’m
weary now,” she said
Her father raised her in his arms and
laid her on the bed.
But as he turned to leave the room,
joyful cry was given,
He turned and caught the last sweet
smile, his blind child was in heaven
They laid her by her mother’s side and
raised a marble fair,
On it inscribed these simple words:
“There’ll be no blind ones there.”
