Six thousand childron under six years of age die of the disease im thie country every year. It is estimated that during 1913 five mended desths in New York wore the result of whooping cough. Not enly is the mortality far greater than that of typhoid fever, but children who have suffered severe attacks are peculiarly susceptible to tubgrealosis. Yet in all the hospitals to-day, according to a member of _ the Academy, only beds are available for the treatment of cough cases in advanced stages. “If whooping cough had ‘ eally been born with some kind of « resh,” declares thie doctor, “I fed cure it would not now need any advocates.

The Tannenbaums are strong for it. .Zven « clever scientist and inventor like Dr. Charles Steinmetz, Chief Consulting Engincer of the General Electric Company, proclaims that “work is a curse,” deadening to all the faculties, that “children fonght to be paid wages for attending echool” and that we shall never be really happy unti] we “give first place to matters affecting human Ife instead of to matters affecting private property.” Dr. Stein- meta’s theories as he expounds them in The Sunday World Magazine to-motrow call for “a four-hour work day” and no “drudgery” unless it can be made “interesting.” Nobody doubts the Athenians had a good time. There were only some fifty thousand free Athenian citizens. They controlled the + labor of several times that number of slaves, . It goes without saying that to achieve a similar happy state ‘we must plan on @ thousand Limes bigger ecale and from a consider- ably modified moral standpoint.
