Summer Session At Columbia University Mr. Editor: Complying with your request for a brief resume of the consqulcuous happenings incident to the summer session of Columbia University Which has just closed, I wish to submit the following: In the first place I wish in this public way to thank the people of the county for their Indulgence dur ing my absence from the office.

Probably the otoe big thing which people outside of the city think of In connection with New York this summer In the epidemic of infantile paralysis. I find a great deal more excitement on account of this scourge away from than In New York, though it has been r very serious matter with the ihodic^l profession there. Such men as Rockefeller and Carne gle sp&red no pains nor expense tn furthering research In order to pre vent the spread of the fiijffase. hav ing Imported Hpecftollsts from all over the woHd to study conditions. As yet they seem to have ma<dy? very lit tle progress. The localities to which it has been confined-*^ *ery clearly indicated that unsanitary conditions surrounding the ohild has ifrore td do with the propagation of the disease than any other one factor, fnce, with only one or two exceptions, the epi demic has beea confined to the tene ment districts The opening of the! public schools In New York has been postponed Indefinitely, but the Board of Education has arranged for the teachers to begin at the regular Ulna thousandth mark. The large enroll ment Yrom the 8uuth is indicative of the educational awakening of our section. From North Carolina there were 146 students enrolled, repre senting every field of educational work. A few years ago It was com monly thought that almost anybody could teach school, but our people are getting to demand the best, and we younger men : of the profession see the "HandwrHtPg- on the wall" which clealry indicates that we must prepare ourselves or get out-' Of course the teachers and super intendents pursuing post graduate work from the city schools are yet In the majority, but 1 was agreeably surprised at the very large number of men whose field Is j>rlmarly In In rural schools. The "Back-to- the country" movement Is having sr tre mendous Influence on the type of teachers engaged In rural school ^rork.
