GRAFT IN SCHOOL ‘SYSTEM IN HAND ~ WITH POLITICS Arthur T. Vance Declares’ Teachers Are Cogs of a Great Machine. THEY ARE _ HELPERS, Vorational Schools Needed, He Says—Léssons Are Too Complicated. “Our entire educational system is rid- @ied with politics and graft. The gen- qrmal public knows thie, yet nothing ta Being done to ateviate matters.” ‘Thie assertion was made to-lay by Arthur T. Vance, who writes an article “What's Wrong With Our Pubiio @ehools,” in October's Pictorial Review. ‘From the mombers of the Board of Béucatton who let contracts for new duiltings to the superintendents or committeemen who make frequent in methods and text books, whieh serve lly to line the of it i riddled | é i I FE i E i i oaye, By f : } i Hl efdged H i tj 3 educated with but one if deing able to one-tenth of enrolling in the firet t : : i is i i ij emtiotics, ERS MERE COGS IN THE MACHINE, ‘The ‘vystem' calls for the prepar- ing of studies that will enable @ child to pass college examinations, The avor- age teacher, finding his individuality and inspiration crushed by the ‘system,’ de- Zc nixes the fact that he is helping the machine to turn out @ defective eduoa- ional product, but he forgets the power of public epinion to reform even 4 huge machine, And so the nation suffers because the children of to-day are fitted to the needs of the system, and not the schools to the needs of the entd." Mr. Vance says he has made a per- sonal inveatigation of the public schools, and found the same mistakes occurring in the rural school houses as happen every day in a large city. “Through methods which lead to the caliege door, we are teaching our chil- dren how to enjoy what they earn, but ‘We Beglect to teach them how to earn t they are capable of enjoying,” he *ays. ‘The course of study 1s too com- Pileated to prepare the average child foy the position’ he must take in the jal and social world. The boy of girl who must leave the graded @ehool or during his second year in the high echool to become a wase earner is burdened with dranches of value only to those pupils preparing college.

Dr. George W. Stiles of the Depart- Ment of Agriculture will In a few days issue at Washington a bulletin alleging that mililons of the oysters dumped Into the New York gnarket reek with typhoid germs. It ie said to-day that @ portion of the bulletin criticizing the attitude of Health Commissdoner Lederle of New York on the oyster question Wus expunged in the office of the Sec- retary of Agriculture. Part of the eliminated matter was Dr. comber that “diligent investigation has falied to trace any cases of typhoid fever, for several years past, to the eating of oysters.” This atatement came two months after Dr. Stiles had traced 127 cases of ty- phold to oysters dredged in Jamaica Bay last fall, Dr. Stites devotes a chapter of the bulletin to the history of thene 197 oases, The Board of Health of New York has apparently now reached the conclusion that there may be danger from oysters, for t yesterday paged a resolution making it unlawful ¢o sell oysters from @ large proportion of the which have been served on New York tables are of this class. Dr. Stiles ehows that 22,000,000 gallons of sewage and refuse go into Jamaica the bay waters each year. Most of them go to New York. The Stiies bulletin was completed some Lederie’s statement of Inst De-| TH Months ago and was then referred to the Becretary of Agriculture. It was re Yised and signed by Dr. Wiley shortly before he left the Bureau of Chemistry. BREEDERS THOUGHT LEDERLE DEFENSE WORTH $1,000,000. There was great alarm among the oyster breedera of New York last No- vember when Dr, Btiles was making his investigation of rf contamination as It affected this olty, The dealers saw dangers to thoir fat profits, The Lederle etatement already quoted as (o the freedom of New York from {liness due to oysters was Issued under the caption of “Health News—8. Bulletin No. 8" and dealt with typhotd fever. The oyster dealers welcomed the statement and made much of it An article in @ well known bivalve pubil- cation declared that ‘Commissioner Lederie’s report was worth at least $1,000,000 to oyster men.” Thia publication, in commenting on the Lederle report immediately after it was issued, said: ‘Commissioner Lederle, New York City Board of Health, stated in a re- port that after many years of careful study he had been unable to trace any disease to ers and during these city tion covering a period of weveral y has failed to discover any typhold could be traced to eating oysters, and the Wholesale Oyster Dealers’ Asyocia- tion of this city, knowing how silly is this Idea that typhold is caused by eating oysters, has decided to circulate 9,000 copies of the Lederle report.* Dr. Wiley has prepared magazine article describing conditions tn oyster breeding waters around New York and in New England. He warns the public against buying oysters from polluted waters. Dr, Wiley compares the position taken by Dr, Lederle on the oyster business with the findings of the Department of Agriculture. —nseasascilfinimensiihe CRANK HANDLE HIT HIM.

Always trace them to lazy liver, delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sick stomach. Poisonous, constipated matter, gases and bile gener- ated in the bowels, instead of being carried out by the system, is reabsorbed into the blood.
