MAJOR "TOM" AGAIN
OH THE FIRING LIliE
tTalces Issue With Lieut. Putney
: cn Virtues of Anti-Typhoid
.'."Serum'-:
The following from the pen of Ma
Jot Thomas Boudren shows that tho
mental acumen of" the doughty major
Is as keen as ever and that his fight
ing blood Is as responsive as it was
In the days of 61.
, "In a. recent issue of a Bridgeport
newspaper a communication from
First Lieut. Edward W. Putney, of the
TJ.-S. Army, appeared as a reply to a
recent article of mine against the pro
posed Inoculation of the members of
our National Guards. with anti-typhoid
serum. Lieut Putney frankly states
that his object Is not to enter Into a
personal controversy, or to attempt to
convince me that I am ill error; but.
; Instead, his object Is to try to "dissi
pate any fears which I may have caus
ed, particularly in the minds of .the
Bridgeport members of the National
Guard, concerning ' anti-typhoid inoc
1 1llation.
However, without intent to force a
controversy, I feel that Lieut. Putney s
criticism of my article demands a re
reply; and I feel, also, that the mem
bers of the National Guard, and your
readers In general, are entitled to
5 know the grounds upon which I base
my opposition to serum, vaccine and
anti-toxin inoculations of all sorts,
t' The best Lieut. Putney has to offer
. Is medical statistics. Army and Na
. vy if you please, in support of, and In
an endeavor to show the efficacy and
harmleseness of anti-typhoid inocula
. tlon; but, from my experience with
medical statistics pertaining to small
pox and vaccination, I am fully con
- vinced that such statistics are utterly
worthless, and people with common
, sens require evidence of a different
i- kind, to arrive s-t- correct) .conclusions.
The. evidence presented, regarding
i the absence of ttyphoid fever, in our,
Army, Is negative, in fact proves
nothing, because no one can say with
certainty tnat any -one of the men. in
oculated, that is. immunized, would
nave developed typ-hold fever if they
-had not been inoculated at all. In
other words, according to medical rea
soning, the men were inoculated, no
typhoid fever occurred, hence the in
oculation is responsible for the ab
sence of typhoid fever. But, what
protects the host of people never In-
oeulated. and who never have typhoid
fever. Is never explained, and the in-
. fluences of improvements in 'sanitary
conditions is never given due credit,
if mentioned at all.
We hear practically nothing about
the elaborate precautions taken to in
sure sanitary conditions In military
encampments of to-day. Lieut. Put
ney does not tell us that when the Ar
ray was mobilized in San Antonio,
Texas, the ground selected for maneu
vers and camps had been carefully se-
lected, in one of the healthiest sec
tions of the country; that the. soil was
dry and would not retain drainage;
I that the purest water was obtainable;
' that the. food was of the best, and that
ail refuse was destroyed by fire every
day.
'- Besides, it "was a picked body of
-- men. as regards ageandphysieal per
1 f ection, and they were not engaged In
actual warfare, but in playing at .war,
and under the most perfect conditions
obtainable. Surely, had typhoid fe
ver -developed among the men i so
carefully safeguarded, even though
they had not been subjected to inocu-
. Nations with an ti-typhoid serum, it
would have been enough to warrant
t ringing charges of incompetency
against every officer in command, for
only neglect in maintaining the really
hygienic measures could have been
the cause of any kind of serious ill
ness among the men.
I wish It were possible for my
friend. Lieut. Putney, and for all men,
"to realize that, wholesome food, pure
water, pure air, thorough proper ven
tilation, cleanliness of the body, with
out and within and correct sanitary
environment, will prevent not only ty
phoid fever but all so-called filth dis
eases; and, contrarywise, - that pure
blood being the source of life and
.health, to pollute it, by inoculating
filthy and poisonous serums and vac
cines, . cannot be. of benefit; and it
will be difficult to furnish proofs to
-the contrary, acceptable- to the man
-of average sense. u
I notice that Lieut. Putney . thinks
the Boer War not sufficiently recent
and that he questions the authenticity
of my figures. However, I have ad
ditional data which may be consid
ered more authentic, because taken
f rem a U. S. Government Bulletin, No.
4 78s issued by the Dept. of Agriculture
" Dec. 21, 1911, and entitled "How to
Prevent Typhoid Fever."
.-en -page Jn-thlsSSHetln", we read:
17ln.tJjoMJaaiAon) failed
in the English Army during the Boer
War. when there occurred 67,684 cas
es of typhoid fever and 8,020 deaths."
It would be interesting to find some
official figures as to how those fared
who did not avail them selves "-of im
munization, but all is silence, on this
point.
However, the failure in this instance
is readily accounted for, and I beg
you to mark well the explanation giv
en in the Bulletin, which I will quote
In full: .
" "But, the cause of this failure is
now well known. It was supposed- at
that time that the Inoculated men
were protected by the inoculation, but
it is now known that the temperature
at which the typhoid cultures were
killed for these inoculations was too
high (60 to 65 degrees C). It has
been demonstrated repeatedly since
that date that cultures killed at this
high temperature lose almost all their
protective power, and the bacterial
cultures now used are sterilized at' a
r,tuxo 16 degree lower (53 d--STSSs
C. for one hour)."
Now this means, first, that a thing
can be deader than dead, and, second,
that by killing the typhoid cultures at
a temperature of 60 to B degrees C.
they are .killed altogether too dead,
and- that .by killing them at a lower
temperature of 53 degrees C, for one
hour, they are not killed quite so
dead. The absurdity, thus far, ought
to be patent to anyone with common
sense.
But, I want to quote a little more
from this Bulletin and assist in dis
seminating the wonderful information
it furnishes. Again, I refer to page
4- and read as follows:
'"In recent years it-had been dis
covered that by injecting under the
akin a email quantity of a dead ty
phoid culture of known "strength the

isms in the same way; as against the
living bacteria in the bowels and with
the same result; namely; the increase
in the body of anti-bodies which per
sist f or a considerable period, render
ing .the person resistant to the dis
ease. ,- '"""-
- Now, to me, this explanation is real
ly wonderful; but, what strikes me as
much 'more wonderful : is how clever
these so-called antibodies are, for to
be-, sure, n they can , tell the difference
between typhoid cultures killed at a
temperature of 60 to 65 degrees C,
andutltose ...killed at a temperature of
tCS'TiegreeS' CI for; one hour, and act
accordingly. '.: . . . . , .
. The more I think about them the
more I am forced :to admire them for
their chivalrous spirit, for they refuse
to multiply and attack a lot of dead
er than dead typ'hoid cultures. To be
sure, they should be dead, but not
too- dead. . If ., they are: simply dead
Jhe antibodies get busy? multiply and
oner resistance; out, " the typnola
cultures are too dead the antibodies
Bee no need of interference and the
result is that you will develop typhoid
fever, if you don't watch out.
Surely, this is absurdity run mad;
and how .supposedly sane medical men
can so fearfully fool themselves,, and
others, passes my understanding. 1
In closing, let me further enlighten
you, according to the Bulletin, that
anti-typhoid inoculation should not.be
employed unless the person is. 'per
fectly healthy and free from fever, at
the time;" and I would like to ask if
such persons would not escape having
typhoid fever anyway, and without a
dose of -deader than dead typhoid cul
tures? . .
.Common sense will teach any man
that perfect health, is the best and
tnly safeguard , against any disease.
and when we recall - that physicians
declare that we escape disease because
we are in. prime condition . 6f. health
and that, bicaiiee our blood is pure,
these "antibodies" multiply of them
selves, -is .it not reasonable to expect
that the remedy should be of such po
tency as to be of benefit to those who,
because of ill health and low vital
ity, could not multiply "antibodies"
unaided ?' for those are the -very ones
in need of help and most 'liable to any
and all diseases; ' v "
It is just as true to-day, as of old.
that:. "They that are whole have no
need of the physician, but they that
are ill,' and I trust the time will soon
arrive again, when the physician will
devote himself to healing the feick, -instead
of making the well sick.

JEIttTOATION IN GERMANY AND .
IN THE UNITED STATES.
"The average man of the people-tin
America is much more interested i in
the affairs of the public school than
the average man in Germany," de
clares Dr. -George Kerschensteiner,. a
well-known German educator, in "A
Comparison of Public Education! in
Germany and the United States," just
issued by the Bureau of Education.
"In the dally press', reports and dis
cussions on' educational topics occupy
a space which to my observation ; is
fully ten times that, which German
newspapers' devote to the same sub-:
Ject."
Dr. Kerscbienstelner compares point
by ' point the school systems in the
two countries. He shows how Ger
many secures., educational ' efficiency
by centralization of authority within
the individual -States. He. admitsthat
possibly centralization has gone 'even
further than -is desirable in Germany,
but . is equally : positive' that there,' is
not enough ' centralization within rthe
individual States of this country. " As!
a' result of the lack. of State compul
sion, he ' says, ' "we " see to-day in ' the
United States t the sharpest contrasts
between school; systems that are: in
credibly poor and others ' of the ..higji
est .possible ..type," that'wo.uld do creidit
to the finest civilized! nations . "of ' the
globe." . He - finds Vthat' "American icit
lzens of a" community have more - di
rect control over their schools than in
Germany, and commends this condi
tion. He compares the teachers in
the two countries , their -.training
their salaries, their tenure of office.
He discusses religion ' in the schools
of " the twso countries, ' co-education,
and other points of similarity and
difference. '
Direct election ' of ... school-boanQ
members by the citizens', as found,' in
the United' States, Impressed Dr.
Kerschensteiner very favorably. He
notes that in Germany the ciUzens
have little or nothing to say about
their school, system. "In Germany the
local school "boards axe nowhere chos
en by popular vote," he declares. He
thinks the American plan might be
a very good thing 1 for "his own coun
try, particularly asa means' of arous
ing genuine public ; interest in educa
tion. . :
The American high school comes in
for some, interesting comment by Dr.
Kerchensteiner both - complimentary
and otherwise. He praises the high
school's - democratic spirit, its aim " to
educate all the people; but he misses
the thoroughness that characterizes
the work of the German gymnasium.
In both nations the schools arenow
in a period of great -development, ac
cording to the Munich, educator. "The
great advantage that Germany . pos
sesses," he declares, 1n addition to
the relentless thoroughness of the
whole educational work, is the well
regulated organization of a State-provided
school system, which requires
in each community a school as good as
that in every other community. But
this advantage has been purchased at
the expense of many qualities for
which we must envy the American J
schools."
ARE THERE TOO
MANY COIJMEGES ?
That there are too many colleges in
the United States with inadequate
equipment and support, attempting to
give full courses for the bachelor's
degree; that - much duplication of
work is going on; and that there could
be a profitable merging of existing in
stitutions to the resultant benefit of
the Institutions and the community;
these are inferences that may be-
clearly drawn from the report of Dr.
K. C. Babeock, in the yearbook of the
Commissioner of Education, just is
sued. ..
The problem is particularly acute
at this time In the case of State-supported
institutions. . Many of . the
States have their work of higher edu
cation centralized in the State uni
versity or agricultural college; but in
9 states there are 3 or more State-
supported and State-controlled insti
tutions. It is in these States, partic
ularly, that conditions are often found
under which "the - distribution and
sub-division of what should, be a uni
fied function of the State as a whole
has led inevitably to waste, duplica
tion, undesirable competition for ap
propriations, and campaigning . for
students in order to get more appro
priations." - .
The report concedes that in some
States circumstances demand that the
institutions be distributed In accord
ance wih special needs. Thus there
is an obvious advantage in the loca
tion of the Michigan College of Mines
and the Missouri School of Mines in
the mining districts of those States.
Furthermore, Dr. Babeock . frankly
states that the waste due to duplica
tion of faculty, equipment and build
ings - is frequently overestimated.
There is no loss of economy or of
efficiency," he says, "in carrying on
In . different places the work of the
first year, or the first two years, of a
literal arts course or of a course pre
liminary to technological work, pro
vided the faculty and equipment ot
these, two years are fully ut llzed.
"It is when specialized and techno
logical work is begun In the second or
third year of the usual course, when
the services of high -salaried men and
enormously expensive equipment are
required, that the waste and efficiency
of plant inevitably appear."
Considerable., effort ..has. recently
been put forth to prevent needless
duplication, both In the case of public
and private Institutions, but so far
little actual consolidation on the part
of State institutions has taken plice.
