LEARNING BY DOING
One of the big Jifferences belween
country and city childrznisthat the
former learns by doing things that
call on them for intelligent thinking
The country child i# set to work
around his farm or village place,
and there are always things that he
can do, and to accomplish which he
must use his own inventiveness.
This makes him resourceful and
when he grows up he can think out
his problems and solve them.
More than half of the city child
ren get their education golely from
books. That makes them lacking
in inventiveness. They ba ve-no.
initiative. Some city boys of ('oursel
have to work, but their jobs do not.
usvally develop this rem)urcefulness‘
and ingenuity, They do not get
the country boys power of thinking‘
things out for himself.
THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF l
Tfle Repubhcan party claamed to
have done a great stroke for the:
farmers when it passed a tariff act
gipposed to protect them against
imported foodstuffs. But many fur-'
mers who look beneath the surface.
can see that the net result must be'
to cut down the demands for their
products for export.
When the farmers of Canada and ‘
South America found their market
in the United States largely cut off ,'
it became necessary for them t:)'
market their surplus in Europe.’
That has tended to cut down the
export’ demand for our products.l
Hence the home market has been
glutted with our own food stuifs,!
and the farmers have had to keep'
selling at prices that are ruinous for
them in many cases.
A little improyement has occurred
in farm prices in the past twoyears.,
It has come because at the pinch of'
the deflation movement, the farmers
had to sacrifice on their crops in'
order to pay off their loans. \\’hen:
this pinch passed, their products
rebounded to a moderate extcnt,i
from natural causes, not from the
tariff. |
The fatmers thought they were
getting a positive benefit as the re
sult of the tariff increase. Butl
many of them have now learned tlmt'
in retrun for the mythical adeantage
they secured, they were put up
aguinst a very concrete and tangible
loss. They are finding that the
manufactured goods that they must
buy remain at a very bigh level,
and have recently begun going high
er, with the prospects of further ad
vances yet to come.
These high prices are sustained by
a tariff that almost prohibits compe
tition on many lines of goods.
Meanwhile they bhave to sell their
gtuff in Europe at prices fixed by the
competition of other countries. They
would do far better to let most of
their tariff protection go, and join
the movement for a reduction in
manufactured goods duties that
would bring the things they have to
buy down to a reasonable figure.
MORAL TRAINING IN SCHOOLS
| Dr. Charles W. Eloit, prusidont‘
emeritug of Harvard university, re |
lcently published in Current History
lau article in which he deplored the
lack of adequate moral training in
the public schools. Many observers
of modern life feel that a great lack
exists at this point.
Opinions differ as to whether there
has been a decline in moral stand
ards curing recent years, But the
great prevalence of crime, the easy
way in which a great multitude of
people violate their marringe vows,
the cxistence of widespread dishon
esty, indicate that young peoj ie
need better moral braining.
It does not accomplish much to
fill school pupils’ heads with all
kinds of information and literary
culture, if they go out in the world
with the conviction that crookel
condust isall right ‘‘if you can get
away with it.”” The world may not
be growing any worse, bul it has
always been in need of reformation
from the days of Adam.
Yet if you attempt to introduce
any new line of training in the puk
lic schools, teachers and superintend
ente throw up their hands in des
pair. They say that their courses
are already so filled with subjects
that the pupils are doing superficial
work.
Yet moral principle is the most
basic element in citizenship. It
would be better to throw out some
study altogether, or cut down the
time required by others, if necessary
to introdnces some subssantial train
ing in the matter of moral obliga
tion.
No school is doing its full duty
to-day unless it gives its plpils an
idea of the obligations that rest upon
every American citizen. An obser
vance of the ordinary principles of
morality is tae first of these obliga
itions.\ 1f pupils do not leave school
(with the idea that honesty, truth,
justice, loyaliy, and gympathy are
qualities that they admire and de
sire to imitate, their education is
|fudnamenmlly defective.
DUMPING AND MERCHANDISING
i Aaron Sapiro, the noted Califor
nia expert on farm marketing made
)zm address recently as reported in
'Lhe St. Paul Farmer, which should
:stir up every farmer of (teorgia to
see how th_c marketing methods in
his locality can be improved.
' Mr. Sapiro brought out the idea
that while farming is an individual
'and independent process, each man
!working on his own acres, yet when
it comes to warketing, it becomes a
’groap problem. The individual
ifnrmer can’t usually do it success
fully because he does not know the
’Vflit country wide and world wide
lconditiuns that affect the process.
Individual selling of crops means
as a ru'e that they will be dumped
on the market when the prices are
Iloweat. Farmers hear that pricesat
'lmrvest. time are low, and they start
in to get their crop on the market
lat the earliest moment. That pro
:duces a vast over supply for the
time being, and the market is bro
ken to a point where the farmer
'can get what it cost him to produce
lthe stufl.
‘ The business man in other lines
do not do that way. \When a mer
:chamt gets his fall and winter stock
11, he does not try tosellit in afew
' weeks- If he did he would have to
‘sell at a big sacrifice the way the
‘farmers have had to. Tnetead he
makes plans to work it off gradually
‘as the public demands it. In that
‘way he isable to sell at a profit and
'stay in business.
The farmers must market in that
gradual way in order to attain the
success that men get in other lines
!of business. That means that in
’thc majority of cases they should
get together and prepare to handle
their united evops with regard to the
’needs of the market. By such
united effort they can find out
where the crop will sell the best and
when it will sell best, and they can
send it where it is needed, and thus
make the least sacriffce in order to
ldispose of it, 1

WHY DOES GEORGIA NEED
A LARGER SANATORIM?
LACK OF RQOM %U'! OF DILAY,.
IN ¢ ADMITTING - OF
’ "PATIENTS 7
State Of Georgla Loses $9,000,000 As
Result Qf Death From
_ Tubercaiosis Y\
¢ o — #
' Because the present Sanatorium has
only 100 beds,
There 18 at present a waiting list of
60 patients begging that they be admit
ted to trcatment, There are seldom
less than 36 on this list,
During tife 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 montion the time lost in
curing the patient, and the advance of
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 b weeks.
Approximafely 8,000 patients dio ot
Tuberculosis in Georgia annually. For
every death, it is estimated that there
are 10 other persons ill with Tubercu
losls.
Sociologists value human life at $3,-
000. 1f this figure is correct, Georgia
has a loss of $9,000,000 a year by reason
of deaths by Tuberculosis alone! The
loss from slckness from Tuberculosis
amounts to such a figure as to almost
stagger comprehension.
Georgla 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
vants, and what is more serious, as
nurse girls for our children, and thus
gpreading the disease to the ‘White race.
The larger Sanatorium would make it
possible to take care of 100 Negroes and
800 White. $500,000 would build a
modern Sanatorium to accomplish this.
The number of patients rejected in
1921 was 56, some because they were
too far advanced to be benefited by
the Sanatorium as equipped at pres
ent; some were discouraged by the
length of the wait and went elsewhere
for treatment; some died while wait
ing to be admitted. A larger, more
modern Sanatorium would reduce the
number of rejected patients and deaths
There are no accommodations for
the care of children, they cannot be
properly treated under the present
conditions. The new Sanatorium would
' be built with this problem in mind, for
'it {s in children that the disease i
found in its earliest stages, and most
can be done for Tuberculosis, both as
'a disease and as a problem in Public
Health and Public Welfare.
THE SOCIAL DISEASES—
DESTROYERS OF
PUBLIC HEALTH
Digraeli, one of the greatest of Eng
land’s prime ministers, once sald: “Pub
lic Health is the foundation upon ‘which
rests the happiness of the people and
the welfare of the State.”
Nations rise and fall, dependent to
8 very large extent on the public health
of the State. The great Roman Em
pire withstood all combined forces ar
rayed against it until undermined by
the gay, riotous and immoral living of
fts own citizens.
Two of the greatest and most pow
erful enemies of any nation are the
gsocial diseases of syphilis and gonor
rhoea. These diseases strike, not with
the initial force as some other dis
eases, such as typhoid and pneumonia,
but none the less sure as to the ulti
mate result on the health and life of
the individual,
They recognize no social status. In
the language of Horace, “They visit with
equal tread the palace of the rich and
the hut off the poor.” "They not only
affect the individual whom they at
tack, but bring untold suffering and
unhappiness to his or her offspring.
Gonorrhoea is responsible for a large
percentage of blindness at birth. Syph
flis is largely responsible for the de
formity of children. Truly the sins of
the father or mother are visited upon
generations yet unborn. 4
At the entrance of the United States
into the world war, we realized for the
first time the menace to our national
life due to the prevalence of the so-!
cial diseases in the manhood called toi
arms. Our government at once saw the
necessity of stamping out these dis
eases, realizing that public health is
fundamental to all success. The pub
lic health was in grave danger and,
without it as an asset, we could not
efticiently meet the severe physical and
mental requirements of .the times..
In this wise the national Govern
ment is co-operating with the State
,Boards of Health, which makes it pos
sible for its citizens to obtain labora
tory examination for these diseases free
of charge to the individual. For fur
ther advice, consult with your family
physician, or write to the Georgla State
Board of Health, Atlanta, Georgia,
