Seventy-five per cent of tb men who failed to pass physical examinations for tba army can attribute their failure to unsanitary and neglected conditions of the rural schools in which they were educated. This statement wai made recently by Dr. J. A. Nydegjer, of Baltimore, Md. Tbe little red scboolhouse has been the subject of frequent scathing arraignments. It is doubtful, however, II any other criticism has brought its shortcomings so squarely before tbe public. Tbe National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in calling attention to this statement urges rural communities to rid themselves of a menace which has undermined tbe health of the country. It points out that instead of waiting for State departments of health and local school board the community itself can take the initiative by creating a new type of scboolhouse which will conserve and not destroy the health of future defenders of the nation. Fresh air classes provide an Immediate remedy for conditions arising from the unsanitary and npqterted rural school.

Blame Placed for ThreeQuarters of Unfit Army Recruits Open Air Class Rooms to the Rescue. Any community can have these fresh air classes. Tbe nucleus for a fund to start such classes can be raised this Christmas by the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. The American Red Cross and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which conduct the sale, believe that open air schools should be instituted as a war measure to aid in tbe effort to stamp out tuberculosis. Tbe disease is one -of the most insidious of our "enemies within." There can be no sounder basis for a campaign against it, they declare, than: tbe care of tuberculous and anaemic children. The open air school has been supported in its early stages almost entirely by tbe sale of Christmas seals. Most communities where these schools exist have started them with money thus raised. Sometimes an insufficient sum has been carried

over for a year or two, until it was largs enough to operate a school. Often it has been added to by contributions. The history of the open air school shows that after public spirited citizens have shown its efficiency school boards and departments of health are generally willing to maintain it. The authorities "must be shown" first. Seal money therefore is being used for demonstration purposes. There are three types of fresh air classes. The first Is for children with tuberculosis, who are segregated froui healthy children. It is generally connected with a hospital or sanatorium. The second is for anaemic children or those otherwise predisposed to the disease, who study in the open air. are obliged to rest at certain periods nnd ore given proper food at tbe school. Tbe third type is the open wiudow school, in which normal children are kept well and strong. Communities which do away with the unsanitary red scboolhouse and substitute an open air school are performing a patriotic service. They are helping to make strong, capable citizens of growing children and to stamp out tuberculosis.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT All that is within divine, will not let my heart repine when I do not get what I think is mine. The big "I" and the little "you" is the "foul" hit that is called "fair" by many men; but this lack of sight does not make it right to thus overrate these little men. The fellow who "hollers" loudest about the other fellow's sin is usually the sort who will not himcelf get in when St. Peter open3 the gate.
