THE SOIL.
What Constitutes What
Does the Term Mean to You I
What is soil fertility What does
the term mean to What is your
standard of measurement What are
the conditions or factors which con-
or constitute soil fertility
It appears that, to some, the
of the so-called plant foods,
gen, potash and phosphoric acid,
which are applied to or contained in
the land, is the most important
tor in measuring the fertility of pro-
power of a soil. To others
tho proper amount of humus, or de-
organic matter In a soil, is
tho measure of its fertility, or at
least, is the first essential of soil
fertility. Still others believe that till-
age determines more largely than
any other factor the productive ca-
of soils. And still others, even
certain scientists and investigators
have claimed that soil fertility is
most entirely a question a proper
supply of moisture in the soil,
pendent of its chemical composition,
as this chemical composition
effects its power to furnish a proper
water supply.
That all soils contain sufficient
plant foods for the production of
large crops, or that the supply of
water is the sole measure of soil
fertility, will be accepted by few; but
if any one factor could be singled out
as the most important in
the fertility of any soil, it would
certainly be tho one of a proper sup-
ply of The lesson which must
first be learned Is, that soil
Is dependent upon many different
factors, and that if we neglect any
one of tho factors, or if we greatly
exaggerate another, we shall most
likely fall short of that grasp of the
subject necessary to the best soil
management.
If we admit that good tillage,
plant foods, organic decay and
bacterial life and a properly
lated supply of moisture are all es-
to large crop production, or
maximum soil fertility, it is not quite
proper or accurate to state that any
one of these is, in the true sense, the
most important; but since all others
of these are more or less dependent
upon one, water, it may be placed
first in consideration.
Most soils contain much more plant
foods than would be required to pro-
duce scores of maximum crops; but
these are useless for crop production
until dissolved in the soil water. Or-
matter decays through
rial activities, which break down and
render soluble plant foods in the soil;
but one equally important function of
decaying organic matter In the soils
water supply, if, then, sufficient
plant foods in the soil, decaying or-
matter and a proper water sup-
ply are the three most important
tors in soil fertility, it is entirely
proper to place the water supply as
first In importance. Organic matter
would be placed because its
decay tends to render the plant foods
already in the soil available to crops
and to regulate the water supply in
which the plant foods are dissolved
and carried to the growing plants.
These, then, are our

The Great Value of Neighborhood Co-Operation
J.
Farmville, N. C, March-28, 1911.
There is a small island off the coast
of England which is famous and pros-
beyond most islands, and this
fame and prosperity is attributed to
co-operation among its inhabitants in
the raising of one specific breed of
cattle. These cattle are widely dis-
in the United States and
fabulous prices have been obtained
by the islanders for superior
mens of the breed. By this
they have produced a breed of
cattle par excellence for butter. I of
course refer to the island of Jersey.
The people over in Virginia in the
vicinity of a small place named
Smithfield, have by working together
produced a superior ham and now all
that they have are sold in the mar-
for from three to five cents per
pound above any other ham.
Troy, New York, owes its pros-
to co-operation among its
in manufacturing linen collars.
If this little island has derived such
great benefit from this spirit of co-
operation only, cannot other com-
do the same thing
What has been done can be done

Whatever one can do himself well
is best done by himself, but whatever
the neighborhood can do best should
be done by the neighbors co-operating
together.
I will suggest some things in which
I think it profitable if those re-
siding in the same vicinity should all
do alike. First, there should be a
gathering at the public school house
and the majority should rule, due
regard being shown to the
dice of those who are the most con-
Having decided that the Berkshire
hogs are the best for said community,
then every one should raise Berk-
shire hogs who raises hogs. Soon
some one would have some fine
mens for sale and might a
handsome profit.
Whenever the neighborhood pro-
more than it could consume,
then one advertisement could answer
for all, thereby saving quite a little
sum, besides only the best specimens
would be sold which would add pres-
to the neighborhood. Then there
would be competition, each one would
strive to have nicer hogs and raise
them cheaper.
They would soon be more
gent hog raisers. All having the
same kind would create an
just as planting prolific corn has
enthused the boys.
Then this rivalry would soon create
a neighborhood spirit and each one
would be proud of his neighborhood
and strive to make it the very best
neighborhood in the county.
One man could take the stock to
the fairs and all would share the bur-
den and help reap the benefits. In
the course of time the neighborhood
would have a statewide reputation,
and if the neighbors were sufficiently
energetic eventually they would have
a national
We have been wasting our
by being selfish.
What I have written of hogs would
apply equally to chickens, cattle and
sheep and in a measure to coin and
cotton.
I am myself ready to enter into
such an agreement and if my
mediate neighbors don't just now see
as f do, I will join any ton
in the county and let all agree to
raise some kind of corn and cotton
and breed the same class of cattle
and hogs.
I would like to hear from others on
this line.
Cost of Production nil Important In
Farming.
European farmers work upon the
principle of making the cost of pro-
the essential thing. The
America farmer generally speaking.
has not looked to this matter, look-
to an immense acreage to cover
up any deficiency of production,
based upon acreage basis. Limited
acreage has naturally developed the
European to practice an intensive
farming through necessity, this work-
to an advantage. Every cent
had to count in this kind of limited
cultivation, the dollar going into the
cost of production had to be more than
realized in the farm's returns, so
that every foot cultivated is
oped in the highest degree, for fail-
meant disaster. All this has
produced an extreme economical farm
much in contrast to the American
prodigality. Take the potato crop,
with its average of bushels per
acre in this country. The farmer
raising bushels boasts of his skill
But take the limited area in England
the farmer there often raises
bushels, while in Belgium 1,600
bushels are raised.
The American farm waste has
ways been large, because of the very
bountifulness of our soils, and the
cheapness of the land. The increase
in land values is working a benefit,
in breaking up the large farms, and
the smaller farms are receiving
attention and being cultivated
with the money cost an essential
factor. With intensive farming,
which conies with the small farm,
the agricultural products of this
country will increase to a vast ex-
tent in value, for there will be a
great caving In the cost of production

NO MORE TEA.

Country After April First.
Lovers of green tea will be dis-

they will find it impossible to pro-

county. The government's
has, after careful consider-
decided that the artificial col-

and that, therefore, its further

topped. The order will not go in-
to effect until May because that is
the time when the new crop begins
to come in, and to have enforced it
earlier might have worked consider-
able hardships to those taken by
prise with importations on the way.
Definite notice is given now, however,
and importers will hereafter attempt
to import artificially colored tea at
peril.
The decision is expected to have a
far-reaching effect, especially on the
commerce of Japan, which exports

the lectureship. John Calvin
of Robeson county, North
Carolina, of the class of 1840 of the
University of North Carolina, died
in Scotland, some fifty
years ago, while to be a
Presbyterian preacher. At the time
there was thought to be a conflict
between science and religion.

that there can be no conflict between
truth wherever found. The fund for
the lectureship became available in
1908. The men who have delivered
the lectures before Dr. VanDyke are
Dr. Francis H. Smith, of the
of Virginia; President Fran-
L. Patton, of the Princeton Theo-
logical Seminary, and President David
Starr Jordan, of Stanford,
University.
In his opening lecture Dr. VanDyke
declared that the aim of poetry is
to impart pleasure through the
that must not be a
mere amusement but a vital joy, en-
the thoughts, deepening the
emotion, and ennobling the life of
man.
A man's worth is measured not by
his money as America is coming to
think, but by the wealth of his mind
and heart. Dr. VanDyke stated that
his three lectures were to treat of
three of the ways In which the inner
life of mankind had been enriched by

deepening in man a love of his native
land which properly cultured would
reach its full attainment in a spirit
of u world democracy, in the brother-

man to a love of nature for the beau-

would culminate in worship of the
God that moves In all nature; third,

By Circulars.
The Journal voices once
more the complaint against the
of attaining publicity by means
of the distribution of booklets and
circulars. No city can possibly be a
city beautiful, according to its way
of thinking, as long as tons and tons
of waste paper are scattered
every year on the streets
and in the yards upon whose appear-
the beauty so much desired de-
pends. To the circular and booklet
method of advertising in itself no par
objection is to be raised. If
the advertiser finds that such an in-
vestment brings returns, his selection
of it is justified from the business
viewpoint. It is the litter which ac-
companies the method that
the ice. and in not a few
instances is of such magnitude
as to demand the abolition of the
practice. In this day of deadly com-
petition, when every penny invested
must produce its result, the fact that
the circular closely resembles a load
of shot in taking effect offers the
brightest hope for its relegation to
the rear. The average boy, as The
Journal points out, does not
his circulars; he merely scat-
them. Logically there must be
an enormous proportion of the paper
and say nothing of the
to prepare the
absolutely and irretrievably
wasted. When advertisers figure this
proportion down the ad-
vantage derived from the
that are read., circular distribution
will die a quick death. And thus
will the city beautiful be brought a
step nearer. Charlotte Observer.

ROAD WORK IN NORTH
CAROLINA DURING 1910
MEX ARE GETTING
MILES SPECIALLY SURFACED.
Too Much of Dirt Road
Improved Yet.
In obtaining statistics regarding the
public road work in North
the counties but one have made re-
ports and the figures given below are
based on these reports. During the
year 1910 the number of miles of
road reported as built during that
year was Va miles macadam,
miles of tar macadam, 1-2
miles of sand-clay and miles of
gravel, this makes a total of miles
of road that were specially surfaced
during 1910. The total mileage of
faced roads in the State is miles,
of which miles are macadam,
1,344 1-2 are sand-clay and 1,528 are
gravel.
Besides the Toads that are surfaced
there were miles of dirt road that
were graded and crowned.
There are in the State as reported
by the various counties miles
of public road, of which miles
have been improved, leaving
miles that have not been specially
surfaced or made into any kind of
permanent road, and it will be
possible for a great many years yet
to surface these roads. Thus it is es-
in the good roads work that
provision be made for maintaining
and keeping up the dirt road in first
class condition by having these roads
properly graded, free from stumps
and rocks, and kept smooth and hard
by a diligent use of the split log drag.
This little machine will enable any
county to maintain its dirt roads in
first class condition at a very small
expense. By having therefore, the

FRIDAY, MARCH 1911,
WORKING ROADS BY TAXATION.
Iredell county will soon vote on the
question issuing bonds to the
amount of to build good
roads in that county. Sonic time this
year Greenville township is to vote
on the question of issuing bonds to
the amount of to build good
roads In this Both of these
. are along practically the same lines,
about the only difference being that
one applies to a whole county and
the other only to a single township,
hence what is said in argument for
or against in one instance applies
most as Well in the other. Therefore
the following article appearing in
the last issue of the Statesville Land-
mark, with some words of local
plication left out here and there, fits
township as well as it
does Iredell county. The Landmark
The Important fact should not be
overlooked that a vote for the road
bonds is also a vote for working the
roads by taxation. The bond
which is to accepted or rejected
by the voters, provides for working
the roads by taxation, and if the bond
proposition accepted the old sys-
of working the roads will pass.
The plan is antiquated, of no
value so far as permanent benefit is
concerned, and yet every male
of the of
the age of
years to is liable to road duty six
cays in the year. While the work
done on the roads is; usually of little
value, it takes the time of men who
are often busy on their farms, and
at the present price of labor three
or four days put in at road work
will amount to enough to more than
pay the road tax of many of the
road workers. This is a view of
the Load proposition that should
tot Le overlooked.
Of course will not

the leading roads, in good condition
and thereafter maintain them and
to work the other public roads by
such methods as may be adopted.
Some voters have asked if all the
public roads outside the main
will be abandoned. Not at
all.
Another matter; Some of the
who are industriously searching
for excuses to oppose the bond issue
have suggested that while the road
bill does not provide for an increase
in taxes, that taxes will be increased
by increasing property assessment.
Of course property assessment will be
increased. It would have been in-
creased if the bond issue had never
been heard of, and it will be increased
if the bonds are not voted. Every
intelligent citizen who reads the pa-
knows that tax assessments in-
crease every year, and the increase
is regarded as a sign of progress. If,
when property is listed for taxation
there should be no increase over the
previous year, or a decrease was
shown, it would prove that the
of the county had either made no
progress or were going backward,
and the publication of such a fact
would be the worst possible
any community or county
could have.
The statement that valuable prop-
shows an increase every year
doesn't apply to real estate for a
general assessment of real estate is
made only once in four years. This
year is the regular time for the re-
assessment of real estate and this
fact should mean a very material
increase, for no intelligent citizen
will contend that land has not very
materially increased in value the
past few years.
Of course there will be a general
increase in the assessment for tax-
this year, because values have
increased and the increase in taxable
value is proper. But the increase
has nothing to do with the bond issue;
the increase will be made whether
the bonds are voted or not; and if
the bonds fail you will go on paying
the same tax as if they had carried,
you will have to work the roads as
now if you are liable to road duty,
but you may have to wait a long
time for a good road to be built in
your neighborhood, for under the
present system the process of build-
roads is slow.

The cost to handle newspapers in
the mails is nothing like the cost of
handling magazines. The contention
of the magazines that this proposed

pages would their

It is well known the magazines
charge enormous rates for
running up into the hundreds
and thousands of dollars for a page
in a single issue, and if any class of
publications can afford to pay more
postage it is certainly the
Newspapers are publications of gen-
information and education to the
public, and for that reason the gov-
handles them at a low rate
of postage, while the magazines have
no news features, but their reading
matter is mainly stories and pictorial
matter intended for entertainment
and not for information, and they
are made up largely of advertising
pages. It would be no more
to carry novels and other
books through the mails at second-
class rates than it is to carry some
of the magazines, for. the latter are
books and not newspapers. Carry-

On another page of this issue of

bodily an article taken from the
Merchants Journal and Commerce,
which comes regularly to a great
many of our retail merchants, for
whom it would be well if they read
and carry out some of the many help-
money-making suggestions of-
through its columns every
month. This article seems to fit con-
in Greenville so well that we
offer it to our readers in the hope
that it will reach the eyes of some
of our merchants who have not read
and that it will influence
who have read it heretofore to ponder
the suggestions, and adopt them to
their needs.

GENERAL IS RIGHT
The Reflector is not able to see
the justness of the contentions of
the magazines of the country against
the proposition of the postmaster
general to slightly increase the rate
of postage charged for transmitting
magazines through the mails. After
reading much on both sides of the

It is a real pleasure to note now
and then the splendid work being
done at East Carolina Teacher's
Training school. Whenever an
is offered there, it is but a
short while before it has been accept-
ed by some one. This is shown by the
fact that the course offered for a
spring term to teachers, which began
last week, is filled to the utmost
capacity of the school, and a large
number of teachers had to be written
that they could not be accommodated.
The planning and the execution of
this work is remarkable. The course
began on Tuesday morning, March
14th, and the class was on recitation
the second period. Only one period
was missed in the organization of the
work.

more home products, your own prob-

The community which keeps its

This is good advice along the right
line. It might have gone further

also keep his money at home when
it comes to printing. Money paid

NEED OF A. PARK.
The Durham Sun is trying to
upon its city to buy the old court
house site there and convert it into
a park, and argues how, from every
standpoint it would pay the city to
do so. Durham is many times larger
than Greenville, yet as the years
went by has neglected the matter of
making provision for a park of pub-
play ground until now the filly
of such neglect is very evident. We
have tried time and time again to
make such an impression upon the
minds of the people of Greenville,
but they go right on neglecting it,
yet some day will realize their mis-
take.
HOME FOLKS MUST ACT.
A Greensboro has invented
a new one. He threw a beer bottle
at his sweetheart, which she dodged
and the tale he told the magistrate
was that he just did it playfully in
an effort to knock out a tooth that
was aching and hurting her. The
magistrate did not think Jim had
to extract teeth that way. so
let him go out to work thirty days
on the roads.
A doctor in Greensboro, the home of

his money around the house instead

The Raleigh News and Observer,
following its bent, did the state a
good service in the legislative
issued Tuesday. Besides the
regular paper with more pages than
usual, there was a magazine section
of pages giving a review of the
work done by the recent legislature
and a synopsis of all the acts passed
by that body. It is tho best

Commission Form of Government.

mind to inquire into the cause.
It is declared to be the best known
municipal form of government and
in the one hundred or more cities in
the country where it i in operation,
according to repeated statements
from the people and the press, giving
splendid satisfaction,
it is stated that the politicians are
against it because it deprives them
patronage; and consequently much of
their power to retain offices. Pity the

COTTON SUIT DECIDED
IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF
BROS. VS DAVENPORT.
the
Makes Valid a Contract tor
Future of Cotton
A case of much interest was de-
in the Superior court here
Thursday, in that it showed the
validity of contracts made for the
future delivery of cotton. As much of
this kind of business has been done
by and cotton dealers
throughout the cotton growing belt,
it makes cases of this kind of more
than local interest, as it will have a
general hearing.
The case tried Thursday was a
suit brought by Messrs Bros,
against Mr. J. R. Davenport, arising
out of failure to deliver cotton on a
contract made between them. That
the case was strongly and ably con-
tested is shown by the array of
on the opposing sides, the plaintiff
being represented by Messrs Moore
and Long, of Greenville, and
Jacob Battle, of Rocky Mount,
and the defense by Messrs. F. G.
James Son. of Greenville and ex-
Judge R. W. W. of Raleigh.
The contention of the plaintiff to
the action was that in the spring of
1909 they entered into contract with
the defendant for bales of cotton
to be delivered during the month of
November in the same year at the
stipulated price of cents per
pound, basis middling. When the time
came for the delivery of the cotton,
it was then selling at 1-2 cents per
pound and defendant declined to
make delivery in accordance with
terms of the contract.
The contention of the defendant
was that the contract was only a
gambling deal on cotton futures,
hence was not valid and did not bind
him to make actual delivery of the
cotton. Every detail of the contract
was gone into fully in the trial and
the case was fought warmly on both
sides. When the case was given to the
jury they were only a short while in
reaching a decision on the issues in-
Their verdict in substance
was that it was the intention of the
plaintiff to receive the cotton and the
intention of the defendant to deliver
the cotton at the time the contract
was entered into and signed, and
therefore judgment was rendered in
favor of the plaintiff for the
difference in the price of bales
of cotton at cents as contracted
for and the selling price at the time
it should have been delivered, with
interest from Dec. 1st, 1909.

the South was the figure decided
upon by leading advertising agencies
of the Southern States who met in
this city today at the call of
Director of the Southern
Commercial Congress, for the
of definite plans for the further
publicity work of the congress.
This conference is the immediate
outgrowth of the immense impetus
given to Southern exploitation by the
convention of the Southern
Congress recently held in Atlanta
when the president of the United
States, while directing one of the
personally led the raising of
in support of the general work
of the congress. The only living ex-
president was also participant, as was
Governor Woodrow Wilson and one
hundred other men nationally
in the fields of both statesmanship
and business endeavor.
Plans were perfected for the
of an immediate minimum fund
of a year for five years to
advertise the South through the
Southern Commercial Congress as
the clearing house for Dixie, this
educational propaganda and its ad-
to appear in the leading
publications throughout the country,
particularly the great metropolitan
dailies.
Five leading lines of exploitation
will be Desirable farm
lands available for settlement and
cultivation by the newcomers from
the North seeking in the South
industrial opportunities,
institutions, power plants, etc;
commercial opportunities in the
states of the South and the re-
advantages of each; bona
fide investment opportunities in the
South and the reasons therefore and
the comparative data concerning
same.
An elaborate and systematic follow
up campaign is being formulated to
care for the inquiries which will
come into the congress as a result
of the proposed publicity.
In a resolution adopted by the ad-
men present, it was given
as their opinion that the plan of the
Southern Commercial Congress is at
once the most important and far-
reaching publicity measure in the
history of advertising and will have
the enthusiastic support and co-
operation of the entire business com-
of the South, financial, in-
and otherwise.

North Carolina Will Go Forward In
Good Roads Building.
State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt
recently Issued some good roads
figures to which it may be profitable
to devote special attention. During
1910 the total mileage in North Caro-
which was specially surfaced
sand-clay, gravel and macadam In-
eluded amounted to miles.
Adding the mileage reported from
the various counties, there are in
this state miles of public
road, of which miles have been
improved. This leaves more than
miles still lacking permanent
improvement. At the rate of
miles a year it will require in the
neighborhood of half a century to
complete the task which the good
roads enthusiasts have set them-
selves.
Such a reflection would be some-
what discouraging were it not for the
fact that the figures quoted do not
by any means tell the whole story.
No one conversant with the situation
believes that North Carolina will
have to wait anything like fifty years
for a State-wide system of good
roads. In the first place, there are
thousands of miles of roads which
need only the persistent and
gent use of the split-log drag to put
them in excellent condition consider-
the amount of traffic passing
over them. little
says Dr. Pratt, enable any
county to maintain its dirt roads in
first-class condition at very small ex-
Under the circumstances the
rapid spread of knowledge and
of the split-log drag is of
first importance to the good roads
cause. County after county is taking
it up, and when its use shall have
become uniform the period of fifty
years referred to will have been ma-,
reduced.
Again, no one believes that
miles is the best North Carolina can
do in the way of annual road build-
The movement is still
young and much of the hard
work of former years has not yet
borne fruit. A little later the annual
mileage built will increase by leaps
and bounds. Counties a little back-
ward now will become converted by
the example of more aggressive
neighbors. is not a single in-

Too Low In Both States.
North Carolina land is for
taxation at an average of an
acre. From we know of the
state the valuation is ridiculously
low. Thus may be accounted for the
fact that the annual revenues of the
state have shown a deficiency
against necessary expenditures. Nor
does so low an assessment furnish

Boys Corn Contest in Pitt County-Prizes will be Given
The county committee composed of
Messrs. W. H. A. J.
J. P. Evans, R. L. Little and D. J.
Whichard, having general supervision
of the Corn for the con-
test in Pitt county this year, met Fri-
day afternoon in the office of Super-
to look further
into the details Of the
It was decided to give township
prizes, as well as general prizes, to
the boys who make the best showing.
The leading township prizes will be
a trip to Washington City for one
boy from each township. We can
imagine nothing that should be more
stimulus to the boys than this trip
to the nation's capital, and certainly
nothing that the county can do would
be a better advertisement for the
county. Prof. will go with
the boys and have charge of them
on the trip. It will be a great
cation to the boys who win this
trip.
In order for a township to be
in this trip to con-
test, there must be not less than three
boys in the township to enter the
contest and the winning boy must
make not less than bushels of corn
on his acre. In all other respects the
contest will be governed by the rules
laid down by the agricultural de-
for corn contests.
In addition to the trip to Washing-
ton, there will be several other prizes
in every township, a prize committee
consisting of Messrs. O. L. Joyner,
B. M. Lewis, J. B. . H. G. Mum-
ford and M. T. Spier, to have charge
Of the classification of the other
prizes, fuller particulars of which
made later. Every boy in the
county who is to be in the contest
should send in his name to Prof.
before April 15th.

so been appointed to look after the
work in their respective

It is the duty of the township com-
to interest the boys in their
respective townships to enter the
contest, and to solicit subscriptions
in their township to send the win-
boy in their township on the
trip to Washington. The
of each boy for the entire trip will
be about People in the various
townships who want to contribute
other prizes can let this be known
to the township committee who will
report it to the prize committee Al-
ready a large list of other prizes that
have been offered is in the hands of
the prize committee, and the outlook
is that Pitt is going to have the most
interesting corn growing contest of
any county in the state. Remember
that last no effort
in that direction, the boys of Pitt
county won more state diplomas for
corn growing than any other county,
nine of these diplomas coming to
Pitt.
This year the Union of
the county has also offered a cash
prize of to the boy who raises
the most corn. This is a special
prize and will not interfere with the
same boy who wins that, getting a
to Washington.
It is proposed also after the crops
are gathered next fall to have in
Greenville a special day of exhibits
of crops, stock, poultry, fruits dairy
products, etc., in which all of the
county will be asked to take part,
and the farmers, both boys and
men, should have an eye to getting
their best products ready for this
exhibit. It is going to be made a
big day for Pitt county, and on that
day the prizes in the corn grow-
contest will be awarded.
To get all the work for the
contest fully arranged the township
committees named above and the
prize committee are asked to meet
with the county committee in Green-
ville on Friday, April 14th, at
a. m. everyone of the committees
come then and unite in helping to
make this a great year in Pitt
farming.
Open-Air Schools.
The old Greek custom of teaching
children in the open air and of let-
ting them sunshine along with
knowledge is being revived in the
United States. Since January 1907,
sixty-five out-of-door schools have
been established in this country, ac-
cording to an announcement made in
a recent bulletin Issued by the Na-
Association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis.
The original purpose of such
schools was the care of children who
have weak lungs or who are afflicted
with tuberculosis, and in this par-
field substantial good has
been accomplished. It is not
able, however, that eventually the
open-air school will be employed for
many other classes of weakly
or even for robust children.
Dr. Luther H. Gulick is quoted in
the current issue of the Literary Di-
as
Two or more years ago, my
was called to the astonishing
and unfortunate condition of the
throats and tonsils of school children
and the number of children who had
adenoids. This led, through a series
of investigations, to a general study
of the air which we breathe in build-
This air we all know is some-
how or is not as good for us,
even under the best conditions of
ventilation, as the open air. For ex-
ample, children in open-air schools
systematically show greater increases
in the number of red corpuscles
the school term than during
cation.
It is thus evident that the open-air
school is by no means a fad, or even
an experiment; but that it is
by thorough-going scientific rec-
Numbers of children have been
cured diseases of the throat, many
have been saved from tuberculosis,
and practically all those taught in
the open air have developed a higher
degree of mental alertness.
The National Association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
estimates that there should be one
open-air school for every twenty-five
thousand of the population,
