LEWIS ATTACKS
college™
Princeton, N. J.~An Indictment
of colleges as "breeding grounds for
muscular athletes or nursing homes
lor society blooms" is contained in
an interview with Senator-elect J
Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, publish
ed In the Dally Prlncetonlan.
The University dally quotes the
senator-elect as declaring also that
the greater colleges are "new sys
tems for garnering money in ex
change for honor degrees bestowed
on the unfit and undeserving.”
“Our large universities In Amer
ica,” the Prlncetonlan quote Sena
tor Lewis as saying, "are under in
dictment from the mass of Ameri
can citizenship as institutions which
care to do as little as possible for
the education of the student, and
all of everything for sports and
amusements.
“It Is generally accepted today
that universities are simply the
breeding grounds for muscular
athletes or the nursing homes for
society blooms who hope for hot
house development through such
agencies as Greek lettei socletie.
and glee clubs.
“The university of today Is known
more tor its halfback and -oclety
fuU-fronta than for renown to an’
student for classic knowledge, profi
ciency in medicine or engineering
or Indeed tor the needed informa
tion on statecraft, national govern
ment, constitutional liberty or hu
man Justice.
"The modern college turns out ex
tremely few men as scholars of the
form of their republic or student'
of constitutional government pre
pared to meet the invasion of sc
elalism, Communism, or amrcliy as
each may assail the fund (mentals
of the republic democracy ol the
United States?
"The public is beginning to look
upon the great colleges as new :-ys
tems for garnering money In ex
change for honor degrees bestowed
on the unfit and undeserving; ar
money begging aristocracies for so
liciting donations and Investments.
"If the present tendency is con
tinued the private university wil
eventually be abandoned foi stale
institutional education, limited t
the teachings of life’s essentials
Large private colleges will pass tr
be esteemed only as institutions of
social hatching of new broods of so
ciety camps! or factories for mold
ing muscles and deadening brains.'

The Epidemic “Scare” 1
and School Children
—School Room h Often the Safest Place
There the Child Is Under Trained Supervision, and
Under Ordinary Circumstances, Stands a Better
Chance of Escaping Infection, Says Authority
By ROYAL S. COPELAND* M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner ol Health. New York City
n , ,UM time to time during the
Fi school year, every mother is
* frightened by talk of epi
demics. Dreadful stories are told
about the ^prevalence of measles.
mumps, whoop
ing e o u *r h,
Tippe, perhaps
scarlet fev e r,
diptheria, or
infantile pa
ralysis. Her na
tural impulse
under such cir
cumstances is
to take her
child out of
school. She
does this in the
desperate at
DP COPELAND
the clanger ol contagion.
As a matter ol fact, in most
cases, certainly, the school is the
eery safest place for the child.
There his health is carefully
patched. If any disease la prev
alent the teachers are on the alert
to discover the first symptoms It
is safe to say that every possible
precaution will be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease.
At one time it was a very common
practice to close school* In time of
epidemics This may still be neces
sary or advisable in some cases, pos
sibly. but that Is a matter for the
local school and health authorities
to decide. Ordinarily It is near »
have the children pursue tbelr reg- ,
ular routine.
If cere Is taken to exclude from
school all children whe show any I
signs of Illness the others are In no '
more danger than they would be
elsewhere In the community. They
are far safer than they would be If
kept home from school and then
allowed to go to the movies or the
theatre or to ride in the street cars,
or even to play with other children.
In a modern, well-run school con
stant attention la paid to proper san
itation and ventilation. Exercise,
rest, recreation, even nutrition are
all under trained supervision. Aa a
result, not only Is the danger of In
fection minimized but the general
health of the children Is so cared
for that they are In the best possible
condition to resist disease It Is as
unwise to Interfere with this health
program as It Is unfortunate to In
terrupt the program of study.
When a child la sick, however, It
is the duty of the mother to co-opsr
ate with the school authorities ta
protect the health of others. To do
this it Is Important to learn to rec
ognize disease at Its first appearance. ]
If anyone of the ailments of child
hood Is prevalent In the community
special attention should be paid to
symptoms that at another time
might be dismissed as ‘‘lust a cold."
A flushed face, running nose, sick
ness at the stomach or feeling of dis
comfort or restleesness is likely to be
one of the first signs that something
Is wrong The safe thing to do
then Is to put the child to bed at
once and to call the family doctor.

NEEDS FOR RED GROSE
SERVICE ON INCREASE
Chairman Payne Says Disaster
Relief and War Veterans
Make Heavy Demands.
Pemaude upon the public serYleea
that the American Red Crow la or
ganized to glTt are Increasingly
heary, and will continue to be ao
In the future, John Barton Payne,
chairman, baa announced.
The two mAjor aerrleea of the
eoclety—aertlee to war reterana
and their dependenta, and relief In
disaster*—show each year a great
er number of persona helped by the
Red Cross.
Pension legislation passed recent
ly tor World Wer Veterene, end In
creased allotments to ell Spanish
American War Veteran*, hare * Iren
to Cbaptere and the national no
clsty many thousands of additional
oases to handle, Judge Payne eald.
In the past year help was glean
In 108 disasters. Ninety of thee*
were in the United State#, twelre'
In foreign possession* and tlx were
in foreign countries.
Health activities of th* Rad Cross
also are being extended, especially
in the rural communities where all
health authorities agree the great
est need exists. Red Cross, with
794 nurses In Its employ, is the
greatest employer of public health
nurse# in rural areas in th# United
States.
In its campaign against accident- i
a! deaths, begun twenty years ago
with Its life earing and first aid
programs, th* Red Cross now has
adopted an additional program—
that of combating the hug* toll of
life from automobile accident* on
th* highways.
Expenditures of th* Red Cross
In the past year were 84,254,791.14,
of which 81,208,151.09 was spent
In disaster relief, the chairman
pointed out.
"The Red Cross depends upon
the public for It* support, through
their memberships jnrolled one#
each year In the period from Armis
tice Day to Thanksgiving Day,"
Judge Payn* said.
“We do not rscslr* any support
from tha Government, or through
other taxation, although as the
President of th* United State# Is
president of th# soslsty, and one
third of Its govsrntng members sre
representatives of U. 8. Depart
ments, It ranks as • semi-govern
ments! agency.
“By Joining as n member, !n the
local Red Croas Chapter, once each
year, during th^/nnual Roll Call,
every citizen *© have a part In
carrying oq this great humani
tarian task."
Motor Injuria* Treated
By Red Cross First Aid
In Ilu* with Its work for the pres
ervation or lire and prevention et
accidental death, the American Red
Croat has adopted a new program
of emergency first aid stations on
the highways of the nation, where
victims of automobile injuries will
be helped.
In the last year 81,000 persons
were killed as the result of auto
mobile accidents and more than
1,000,000 were injured. As its con
tribution to the nation wide eafety
campaigns of other organisations,
the Red Cross will aid through the
emergency stations. A number al
ready are in operation by Chapters
on inch important traffic arteries as
ths Westchester County, N. Y., park
system, the Valley Forge and Get
tysburg highways In Pennsylvania
and the White Horse Pike In New
Jersey, connecting with Atlantic
City.
Saving Motherland Babies
Important Red Cross Task
Saving mothers’ lives and batter
babies were Important features dur
ing the past year of the Public
Health Nursing Service of the
American Red Cross. About four-^
fifths of the 794 nurses in the Red
Cross work made more than 100,000
prenatal and maternity visits, in
addition to assisting doctora In the
examination of 1,309,409 school
children.
Statistics reveal that the Uvaa of
two out of three American women
who die in maternity eases could be
saved if they received proper med
ical and nursing cars. As more
than 15,000 women die in the Unit
ed States each year from various
diseases of tbs maternal atate, this
meana that more than 10,000 of
these deaths are preventable.
