Who Doesg|he Promohng?
Daintily dressed and altogeth-
er charming she entered the
school room as the years’s work
was drawing to a close. It was
her first visit to the schoolroom
so she had to introduce herself to
the teacher-—she was Peter 1/an
Hanson’s mother., ,
“Peter is afraid he is not go-
ing to be promoted,” she began
smilingly, “and I thought I
would home and talk it over with
you. Both liis father and I are
so anxious to have him advanced
and not lose a year.”
“Yes,?” The teacher was
non-committal. Peter’s fears
for his promotion ~ were well
grounded.
“Now, I hope you are going to
promote the child/’ his mother
went on. “It is; very, unfortun-
ate for childrlii to be held back,
and he is getting to be^ such a
big -boy; he is really ve,ry sensi-
tive about it.”
“I agree with you; it is very
unfortunnte, and I wonld like to
promote Peter if I could. But I
don’t do the promoting.”
Oh, is that, so? I thought the
matter was ' entirely in your
hands. Whom, must I see? Who
does the promoting?”
The children do ail the pro-
moting; you will have to see
Peter.”
What do yo.ii mean?”
I mean, that the promoting is
not a thing that is done *at the
end'Of the year by the (teacher;
it is done all through the year by
the pupils, each for himself.
Most of my children have been
as busy as bees all the year, pro!
moting themselves ; a few, Peter
among them, have done nothing
butu play. You know I haye
written to you several times dur-
ing the term asking you to come
and see me about it.”
“Yes, 1 know, but I have been
so busy that I simply couldn’t
find time to come.”
“Well, I have done all that I
know how to do, not only for
Peter, but for all the children as
well, and I will dor all I ban for
them always, but those who de-
pend upon me to do the promot-
ing are,going to be disappointed.”
Next June there will be hun-
dreds and thousands of mothers
who will go to hundreds and
thousands of teachers and say:
“I hope you are going to pro-
mote Peter,.” -)
Would it not be more sensible
for them to go now, while there
is still plenty of time to hunt for
causes and to apply remedies and
say to the teachers: “Is Peter
doing what he can to promote
himself?”—Ladies’ Home Jour-
nal.
Health for Sale.
One of the most interesting and
important papers presented be-
fore the Fourth Conservation
Congress, which met last week in
Indianapolis, was written, not by
a physician or a sanitarian, but
by a business man, Mr. E. E.
Rittenhouse, of the Equitable
Life Assurance Company. Mr.
Rittenhouse, fti the opening par-
agraphs of this address, recog-
nized the crucial point in the
present situation. He said: “It
takes money to carry on a great
educational movement and it
takes money to conduct a public
health service. The war between
preventable disease and death is
therefore a struggle between the
dollar and the death-rate.”
These words should be placed be-
fore every citizen, for his instruc-
tion'and as a warning. 'With our
present-day knowledge of dis-
ease, good health is a commodity
which can be bought, if our
cities, counties and states are
willing to pay the price. For $1.50
per capita per year, any commu-
nity can practically banish thqse
diseases which we now have the
means of preventing and can
greatly reduce the number of
deaths from all causes. One dol-
lar andf^a half per year! Not
quite half a cent a day to save
life from destruction by known
causes. Three cents a week,
twelve and one-half cents a
month, to protect each man,
woman and child from disease,
'whichjfwe know how to prevent
and which we know will exact a
toll of many lives during the nexf
year and all succeeding years
until proper preventive methods
are inaugurated! A pitably small
sum, one thinks. Yet how much
are our most advanced common-
wealths spending for this pur-
pose? Pennsylvania leads the
list with 48 cents per capita per
annum; Arkansas at the bottom,
does not spend a cent; New York
spends 1.7 cents; Massachusetts,
4.2 cents; Indiana, 1.8 cents;
and so on. tn 1911, fifty of the
largest American | cities • with a
total preventable death-list of
117,724, spent an average of 30
cents per capita to prevent dis-
ease, and $1.65 per capita to pre-
vent fires. According to The
Journal of the American Medical
Association, if we could have in
every city as good a sanitary
service as we now have fire pro-
tection, many lives that are now
needlessly sacrifiped could be
saved. The people can have
such protection if they want it
and if they will pay for it. Safe-
ty from disease can be obtained
just as we obtain safety from fire
and from thieves. Health can
be secured if society will foot the
bill. \ If
