Wednesday night Dr. Charles W.
Stiles, secretary of the Rockefeller
Commission lor ihe. extinction of hook
worms, addressed a full house in Ger
rard Hall. Every one is familiar with
Dr. Stiles' work in connection with
the movement to eradicate the hook
worm disease, vhich is said to be one
of'our serious problems in the South.
In part, Dr. Stiles spoke as follows:
There was a time when sickness and
unsanitary conditions were looked up
on as private matters. That time is
past. To allow conditions that endan

be --punished ' as such. Pnhl

point, and we are taking the first steps

candidates are Duls, Carrington, Car

ly all the stunts required, but some
time must be allowed for confidence
and surety in their work.
Director Osborne hopes to give a
gym exhibition at an early date, prob
ably next month. In this will take
part the the gym team, the candidates
for the gym N. C, and the most prof

See Us. We Treat You Right
As a nation, we have certain char
acteristics that are inevitably attended
wiih disastrous results. One of these
characteristics is our extravagance
We are extravagant in the matter of
natural resources, and no less so in
tne matter ot human lite. It is true
that when an excursion boat, for in
stance, is set on fire, with ihe loss of
several hundred lives, the whole coun
try is stirred. It is not the loss of life,
however, so much as the spectacular
nature of the event which arouses our
feeling. And here we may note an
other of our characteristics as a peo.
pie an appetite for the spectacular
We pay little attention to the fact
that thirty-five thousand people in
this country die every year of typhoid
fever, an easily preventable disease.
Because of its unusualness, a report of
yellow fever always starts a scare; and
yet, more people die in one year of tub
erculosis than have died of yellow fev
er in one hundred and fourteen years.
In the South, the problem of com
batting disease is made peculiarly dif
ficult by the contact of two wholly
distinct races. Each race has some
diseases peculiar to itself diseases
from which, after a long time, the
race becomes almost immune. But
when they are contracted by people of
another race, they assert themselves
with their original deadliness. Thus,
consumption, which is a white man's
disease Is three times as fatal among
negroes as among white people; and
the hook worm disease, which was
brought by the negroes from the west
ern coast of Africa, does its greatest
harm among the whites.
Hook worms are more genera1
among the workers in cotton mills, at
present, than any other class of peo
ple. The cotton mills are not respon
sible, for the disease has been brought
from the country to the factory cen
'ters. It is much more common in the
sand lands of the east and south than
