HEALTH AND EDUCATION
Creation of a bureau of hygiene in the
District health department, to supervise
proper medical inspection of pupils and
teachers in the public schools, to look after
sanitary conditions in the school buildings,
provide for instruction of teachers and
scholars in hygiene, and to prevent the
spread of disease and carry on general
health promotion work, has been proposed
in a bill introduced in the House by Repre
sentative Begg, of Ohio. In discussing his
bill Representative Begg said
“Today the development is recognized
by all educational leaders as one of the pri
mary objects of all education. Cities thru
out the country recognize the great import
ance of this work, but in this movement the
Capital of our nation is far behind. The
situation calls for serious attention.”
Mr. Begg asserted that the slogan
which calls for millions of dollars for school
buildings but not an additional cent to safe
guard the health of children using these
buildings is not based upon experience or
upon common sense. The Begg bill is the
outgrowth of an investigation by the Mon
day Evening club, and it is understood has
been indorsed by the District health auth
orities, welfare leaders and physicians.
There has been frequent criticism of
the system of medical inspection and of the
alleged insanitary conditions of some of the
public school buildings thruout the country.
Recently it was disclosed by a deputy fire
inspector that two of the high school build
ings of Washington, D. C. were not proper
ly protected against fire. It has long been
said that the pupils are not properly safe
guarded in the matter of health. Such a sit
uation should not be permitted to exist in
the National Capital.
HOW TO DEAL WITH TURKEY
Bishop Manning, Senator King, and the
others who believe this country should re
fuse to recognize Turkey, should take note
of a few facts in the career of the late Os
car Straus. Mr. Straus was sent as Minis
ter to Turkey in 1887, when Abdul Hamid
had closed 60 American schools. In two
years the new American Minister had suc
ceeded in reopening these schools; in ob
taining charter privileges wdiich led to the
founding of scores of other schools; and
in persuading the sultan to allow general
missionary work. Again, in 1897, when the |
Armenian and Macedonian massacres had!
shocked the world, President McKinley ask
ed Mr. Straus to return to Constantinople.
The Minister found that American lives and
property had been ruthlessly destroyed. He
obtained reparations and guarantees and
exerted thereafter a firm American pres
sure in behalf of humane policies.
There are still a few old-fashioned
folks who have never been on an operating
table.
