TOWER OF THE * ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, PANAMA
PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION.
FROM on architectural viewpoint the dominating feature of the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition will be the huge tower
of the Administration building. Rising 3T6 feet In height and
flanked on either side by the domes, towers and minarets of the
eight great exhibit palaces, the huge tower will be at all times the most
conspicuous, feature of the Exposition City. - From San Francisco harbor
It will appear as the central feature In the great rV'tangle of exhibit pal
aces, whose sky line will be 110 feet in height, whose domes will rise 144
feet and whose lesser towers will be. 175 feet In height From afar this
central group will appear almost as a single palace, four-fifths of a mile
long and 1.200 feet In width: nearer at hand It will be found that the
exhibit palaces are Interspersed with groat open courts, each designed
by notable groups of America's foremost architects. The inner courts
will express the highest Ideal of the architect, the sculptor, the colorist
and the landscape gardener. The Exposition palaces will be the loftiest
ever constructed; the grouping of huge buildings will give an effect of
almost Inconceivable inasslvenees and grandeur. At the base of the
tower, which will occupy an acre In extent, will -he a huge arcade he
"neath which visiters may enter from the main exiKwition entrance Into
the grand Court of Honor. This court, which will TiW t?* Wifl tVet in its

THE state boards of health of

against hookworm disease, and
the results ore manifest oa every hand.
Thai Is to say that when something

In this way have been transformed In

How Hookworm Disease Keeps
Students From Doing Good Work
ONE of the many evil effects of
hookworm (Jlsease Is that It re
duces mental as well ns physical
vigor. I# schools the students
who have the disease are always back
ward as compared with the healthy
students. This has b6en proved in
many instances and may be seen in
any school where there are Infected
pupils.
In a college in Mississippi G25 stu
dents were examined microscopically,
and the resulta showed that in every
Instance the ones Infected with hook
worms were behind their schoolmates
both in their studies and in athletics.
Infected men and boys was 86, and of
the fifty-five nontnfected men and boys
it was 84.
The same thing holds true in the.
case of girls. In one girls' college'
where all the students were examined
many infected persons were found.
There were two sisters in the school,
one of whom was infected and the
other not. The Infected sister had a
grade of 78, while her sister had a
grade of 87. The infected sister is
forced to devote two years to each
year's course, while her sister goes on.
Fifty -six infected girls In tbls school
had an average grade of 77.75. while
p EFFECT8 OF THE DISEASE.
The three boys pictured above are of about the same age. The talleet one
in the center is seventeen yeare ofd and weighs 160 pounds. Although living-.
Jn a community where many suffered, he had ho hookworm infeotion. The bo/
in the dark auit ia eighteen yeare old and weighs 120 pounds*. He is infected
'With the disease. The other boy ie also eighteen, but he weighs only a hundred
pounds and haa the appearance of a thirteen-year-old youngster. He is heavily.
infected with hookworms.
In fact only one athlete was Infected
at all. Of the 144 officers of the student
body, places won by superior attain
ments, only five were Infected. Twen
ty-five men, each five feet ten inches
tall, who were nonlnfected averaged
i 156 pounds in weight. Twenty-flve ln
I fee ted "men of the same height w.eigh
j ed an average of only 147 pounds.
In .scholarship, among twenty-flve
nonlnfected stndents, five made an
average grade of 00 and above, eleven
made 85. fire made 80, three made 75,
and one made 05. Thus sixteen of the
twenty-flve made an average grade of
above 85. Among twenty-flve Infected
students none made 90, only two made
85, three made 80, eleven made 75, and
| nine made below 76. Thus only two
of the Infected students were ablo to
reach the grade that was surpassed
by sixteen of the nonlnfected students,
mil being college men from the same
state and living under substantially
the same circumstances.
t This Is proof of the evil effect of
jbookworm disease on mental develop
ment
In another school in the. same state
the average grade of twenty-flve Ugfttly
tbe same number of nonlnfected girls
selected at random bad a grade stand
ing of 80.28. Of these fifty-six notf
infected girls, only two failed of final
passage, while seventeen of tbe fifty
six infected girls failed.
A county superintendent of educs
tlon wrote the following:
Up to the 1st of February 1,680 schoo!
children In my county had been examinee*
microscopically, of which number 1,848
were found Infected with hookworm dig
-earcr of these had got their first
treatment, 693 their second and 615 their
third treatment. Marked Improvement U
seen on every hand. Pupils have a better
color, and the teachers tell me that their
work Is easier since the treatment than
before. Over 3,000 microscopical examina
tions wUl be mflQe In the county befor#
the work closes. This will Include people
of all ages.
; - There was some opposition at first, but
as the people gradually saw results the i
Interest In the matter greptly Increased.
My little boy, only five years old. gained
six pounds In three weeks after two treat
ments.
How Important is tbe work of stamp
ing out hobk^tofa* disease Is ahcrwn by
those figures; that iflrovsf that Infected
students are backward In their studies
and that in 'Settle sections tbhrfswi oat
of eref^ sixteen pupils are Infected I
