Sept. 25.—Babies and school children held the attention of the Congress of Hygiene and De mography in its session here today. A paper of absorbing interest, deal ing with infant mortality, was read by Edward Bunnell Pbelps. editor of The American I'nderwriter. New York city. The subject of medical Inspection for public school children was taken up Iff most able form b.y Dr. Helen McMur hy, of Tot onto, Canada, and Dr Wil lard S. Small, principal of the Eastern High school. Washington, D. ('. Editor Phelps made the interesting statement that 55.000.000 babies are born into the world every year. But, on the other hand. 15.000,000 of them die before they reach the age of one year. This means that about 40,000 babies die every day In the year, or on every other tick of the clock an infant life goes out. To this terrible harvest of Infant lives the I’nited States contrib utes 1.000 a day. “There are the best of reasons for he. lievlng." said Mr. Phelps, “that at least 50 per cent of the world's Infant mor tality is readily preventable and the civilized countries are just beginning to awake to that fact Crusade Making Rapid Progress. "Tin present broad crusade for the reduction of Infant mortality." added Mr. Phelps, "dates back scarcely five years, and can now be regarded as lit tle more than a promise of the whole sale movement which Is to come. Three international congresses for the discus sion of the subject have already been held In Europe, a permanent interna tional association with similar purposes has been organized, and all hold out great promise In France, Belgium, Ger many Holland, Great Britain, the United States end other countries. The movement lias made exceptional prog ress In Germany "Mothers should suckle their children ns God Intended." declared Dr. William H. Davis, vital statistician of the health department of Boston, in the course of an address. "<tf babies peaching the age of two weeks." said the doctor, "one in five dies before a year old if bottle fed. while if breast fed only one in 30 fails o reach the one-year mark. This means that the death of these infants would be 60 per cent less than they are today If all babies were breast fed." Di Davis said tile women of Norway and Sweden suckle their babies when ever possible, and for that reason those two countries have the lowest rate of Infant mortality of any countries in the w orld. The hookworm was the chief topic discussed late yesterday . The ravages that tills pest has made in Porto Rico and the effective campaign the United States has made against it, was de scribed by Dr Bailey K. Ashford, man ager of the medical corps of the I’nited States armv at San Juan, Porto Rico, in an interesting address. Wiping Hookworm Out. Dr. Ashford said the Porto Ricans had been exposed to the ravages of Hie hookworm for centuries, but since the I nlted States government had taken hold of the island this strange pest had been practically eradicated, rhe physical condition of the Porto Ricans, said the doctor. Is now 50 per cent better than w lien tile government began its campaign against the hook worm aiiout years ago Since 19'»4 over 300.000 victims of the hookworm have been treated in Porto I Rico, and yvith complete success. There remains about 100,000 more to be treat 'd. but these cases are not aggravated. Dr Ashford took up the material benefit that lias accrued to the Island of Porto Rico because of this highly successful campaign against the hook worm. He estimated that the com merce of tlie island bad increased at least 400 per cent because of the en ergy and activity of the native laborers after they had been relieved of the hookworm disuse. Talking on the subject of "Signifi cance us Physiological Age in Educa tion." Dr. ('. Ward Crampton, director of physical training in the New York public schools, delivered an impressive address to the Congress. Dr. Cramp- I ton held that physiological develop ment rather than actual age should be the standard of classification in the 1 ease of school children. "From birth to maturity." he said. I "children develop nt different rates - some outstripping others in the rare— ' so that we find at the age of fourteen aiiout one-third who are already quite 1 men and women one-third in a transl , tion period, and one-third quite im- I mature The difference between the mature and the immature is so marked that it is astonishing." declared Dr. 1 Crompton, "that the idea of separat , ing them for educational purposes lias never occurred to our school authorl- i ties Tin mature group aie from 3o to • 50 per cent heavier. 30 to 50 per cent | stronger and 10 to 15 per cent taller I than the immature group of the same , age.

JG IN U.S. 1,000 DAILY; LD BE SAVED memory changes from rote to asso ciative. the mental grasp is Increased by an influx of newly ripened instincts, resulting from the change from an un sexual to a sexual existence. The w hole attitude toward life becomes attached to manly or womanly things, and the business of childhood is put behind. All these changes occur about the time the voice deepens, the second molar teeth arrive and other easily recog nizable signs of maturity appear. In short, of those who are from twelve to fifteen in age some are young men and others are children, regardless of their ages in years nr progress in school. "We find the same young men with their ripened potential abilities sitting on the same benches, taught the same lessons and subject to the same dis cipline as children, and the results are quite as poor as they could naturally be under these circumstances. The fundamental fact that the mature and Immature are wholly different and should receive different educational and social treatment is disregarded. In the elementary school the mature do badly, In the high school frankly fitted to their needs they do from 20 to 50 per cent better than the immature. While it Is at this point the educational sys tem on inflexible basis of scholasticism and chronological age breaks down, it suffers from a lack, of rational classi fication where mature and immature children are brought together in the same class room.” HURT WANTS HEALY TO MAKE EVEN START IN SKY SCRAPER RACE That skyscraper race needs new rules and a handicap agreement. Joel Hurt, who has just broken ground for his new office building in Edgewood avenue, returned from New York to read in The Georgian that the race between the Hurt building and William Healy's long-awaited struct ure In Forsyth street was on and the starters had left the post. "That’s not fair." he said today, “Mr. Healy has had a big start on me. He's been digging that hole three years, and the excavatlop Is one of the biggest parts of tlie job. But I'm going right ahead and maybe 1 can catch him.” A committee of mutual friends, it is reported, will watt upon Mr. Healy and ask him to withdraw his army of engineers until Mr. Hurt's excavation is completed. Then, with both build ers at the scratch, the word may be given and the steel frames started up. POLICEMAN SHOOTS GEORGIAN. BIRMINGHAM. ALA.. Sept. 25.—Jo seph Murphey., son of B. A.

Crushed by the wheels of an auto-I mobile, twelve-year-old Alice Overby, daughter of Mis. W. G. Overby, 83 Au burn avenue, lies, died at the Davis- Fisehei sanitarium in Linden street and the body is being held at Greenberg & Bond's. Hesitating between the curbing and the street car track while autos bound homeward from the theaters whizzed about her at Peachtree and James streets last night at 11 o'clock, the child stepped directly into the path of an electric coupe driven by Miss Har riet Cole, Before the little machine could be halted both wheels passed squarely over the child's body, injuring her fatally. According to eyewitnesses, including Miss Graham, who was with Mrs. Over by and the girl, the trio started across Peachtree street, the child in the lead. Miss Graham stopped, she says, to let an electric filled with men and women pass. As the machine whizzed by she heard a short scream and found Alice prostrate on the pavement. Miss Cole, who was driving the coupe said that sl.e stopped long enough to be assured that the child was not badly hurt, and then drove home. The police today will make a case against her for reckless driving. The injured girl was first removed to the Grady hospital, but later was taken to the Davis-Fischer sanitarium CONTRACTOR ASKS FOR RETURN OF MONUMENT UNLESS IT IS PAID FOR MACON, GA., Sept. 25.—F. C.

The local Daughters of the Confederacy and the club wom en will hold a special meeting this aft ernoon to decide on some means where by the monument can be. saved and Macon spared the humiliation of hav ing it moved to satisfy a claim.
