A Real Emergency September 10 has been selected as the opening day for the 1934-35 school year in most North Dakota communities and this fact again brings to the fore the question of how approximately 4,000 schools in this state are to be financed. In some cases the issue is not a pressing one, Though no school district has an excess of funds, some are 60 situated that they can get along without outside help. Others, however, and this is par- ticularly true in the western part of the state, again will face the problem of how to pay teachers, heat school- houses and do other necessary things upon little or no money. The federal government probably will come to the rescue again this year as it did last, perhaps in even greater degree than before because of the handicap which the drouth has obviously placed upon our education system. Just what will be done and how has not yet been determined, but even the hardest-pressed school district may safely assume that it will not be left to struggle along alone. In some districts, school operations may become a cooperative endeavor, with a good many people contributing to it in labor and materials instead of in money. This will be reminiscent of the pioneer days when the only school some districts knew was that provided by a farm or ranch wife in her own kitchen. It is not a rever- sion which we would welcome but history at least gives evidence of what can be done if the worst comes to the worst. Meanwhile, we still have with us the question of what to do about the young men and women who, having finished their usual school courses, have been unable to find employ- ment. This, in a way, is a problem even more pressing than that present- ed by keeping the grade schools open, for these young people are just in the formative stage and their ex- perience now may exert unhappy in- fluence on their future lives. Young children may easily be in better posi- tion to make a comeback than their older brothers and sisters. A possible way out is suggested by the teachers college of Columbia uni- versity which is advocating a super- vised correspondence study method to be used by the smaller high schools, primarily to offer them a richer and more varied curriculum. The idea back of the proposal is to Place the courses offered in small high schools on a par with those of- fered in larger educational units. The method of operation is to have the students study the correspondence courses in the classroom instead of at home, under the direction of an instructor who need not, however, have special knowledge of the sub- jects since the lessons are fully pre- pared and the grading will be done by the institutions sending out the courses. But in North Dakota, our problem is one of a more urgent nature than that of extension and enrichment. Many of our children will be unable to attend high school at all on a normal basis. If they are not to be left to shift for themselves in an edu- cational way, correspondence courses must be furnished for them. It is not as desirable as attending school, but it is the next best thing. Our university and agricultural college have operated extension divi- sions for years, largely designed to help adults who seek to extend their knowledge. If they have not slready done so, these departments should take immediate steps to offer their service to younger students whose opportunities have been severely cur- tailed by the times. Provision should be made, too, for the extension of credits for such unrest in a recent magazine artic! he expresses the view that the situa- tion is getting better, rather than worse and points to 2,000 disputes settled by the National Labor Board, affecting approximately 1,000,000 men. As to the labor aims of the admin- istration, he asserts that they are to “oppose those company unions which are dominated by the employer and make collective bargaining a fraud” and also “a union whose primary | Purpose is to provide fat jobs for pro- fessional labor leaders.” Thus the chunky senator tilts with both of the two great dragons of our labor problem. His is a stand which the public can endorse and which is expected to work by all except those |who have had experience in such matters. The reason the formula doesn't produce better results is that men are what they are and it takes a great deal to change them. A fine example is the situation in Minneapolis, Now, after all kinds of trouble, an effort is proposed to get at the facts and settle the trucking dispute on an equitable basis. It should have been done long ago. Births and Progression ‘When those five daughters were born to that French-Canadian couple in Ontario the world gasped in amazement, but not the mathemati- cians, To them it merely offered some- thing to figure on, so they sharp- ened their pencils and went to it. Now they emerge with the announce- ment that multiple births are subject to mathematical laws, Twins are so common as to cause little comment, about one confine- ment in each 87 resulting in the in- troduction of twins to this vale of wrath and tears. Now comes the thing which the mathematicians have discovered, even though they are not sure what they can do about it. ‘This is the fact that | the scarcity of multiple births in- creases almost in direct ratio with) the powers of 87. On this basis trip- | lets would be born once in each 7,569 confinements, quadruplets once in| 658,503 births and quintuplets once | in 57,000,000. As a matter of fact, in the United States during the five years from 1926 to 1930, one set of twins was born to each 86.3 confinements, a set of triplets for each 8,745 confine- ments and a set of quadruplets once in 552,000 confinements. United States during this time and none could be expected, since there were only 10,000,000 births during the period and quintuplets may be ex- pected only once in each 30 years. Thus the mathematicians spy on. nature and take at least a little of the uncertainty out of the most won- derful of all human processes. The expectant parent now can know what to prepare for—unless the stork develops a peeve against these figure sharks and begins distributing quintuplets all around. You can't tell.

THE ECONOMY OF REDUCTION It is fair to estimate that thirty million persons wish to reduce. Wish- ing is as far as twenty million of them will go. Ten million will sooner or later have a try at one method or an- other and perhaps ten thousand of and will suffer for two or three weeks on the reduction regimen they elect, lose nothing to matter except their health and vitality and good looks, and finally give up in d-sgust or in a sanatorium. It is a notorious fact that the great majority of persons who do attempt LOOK, MOMMA WHAT 1S THAT? WYOOO jij laa. = A to reduce choose # reduction regimen without benefit of medicine. The, family physician is the last adviser they think of when they come down with the reduction fever. Somehow People feel that this is a matter in which a regular physician is not in- terested; for his concern is for sick People, and of course fat people are too, too healthy. So the over-sized individual who desires to reduce hesitates to even mention the matter to his or her medical adviser. The medical profession is itself to blame for this odd situation. Our system of medical education in this country has gone highbrow and the future practioner learns everything in medical school except how to deal with ordinary everyday minor ail- ments which constitute the chief part of the family physician's practice. I had a four year course in medicine and surgery in a Class A medical col- lege, but thruout my medical course T never heard reduction even mention- ed. I did learn about a lot of rare maladies which I never encountered ia practice. My plight was not different from the plight of most physicians of my day. I suspect the situation has not. changed much in the last thirty years. ‘What does the average good doctor think or do today when a patient wistfully broaches the question of re- ducing. Well, it is much too evident, I fear, that the doctor has no very definite ideas of what to think or do about it. This is a deplorable atti- tude for the family physician to take, of course, but it is the direct outcome of his education and training. ‘The successful prescribing and man- aging of any reduction regimen is a HEALTH SERVICE, and that's what ails the medical profession in general; the good doctors, I mean those who are competent in dealing with disease, are pitifully incompetent in the in- creasingly important fields of health and hygiene.

Carotin Is carotene of the same nature as carotin which is used in coloring but- |} ter. (0. L. 8.) Answer—Yes. Carotin is abundant in carrots, spinach, yellow squash, yellow turnips, parsnips, pumpkins, @teen and yellow beans, egg yolk, oranges, lettuce. It gives the yellow- ish color to pure butterfat or cream. It is thought to be the precursor of Vitamin A. Too much of these foods containing carotin sometimes gives the skin a yellowish tinge, especially the palms and soles, but not the whites of the eyes. The yellow tinge disappears soon after the excess of the yellow food is stopped. (Copyright 1934, John F. Dille Co.)
