U.S. SURGEON GENERAL:
Burney Discusses Health Problems

By CAROL LEVE TEN
"A coolness for his work is often
hidden behind the celebration of
him as a person," Prof. Mathes
Jolles of the University of Chi-
cago, speaking under the auspices
of the German department, said
of Schiller yesterday.
"It is ironic that he should be
criticized, misunderstood and loved
for the wrong reasons," which in-
clude an historical and biographi-
cal approach to criticism that
slights a more aesthetic interpre-
tation, he explained.
Although as a man, he "left
everything common miles behind
him," he must be studied for his
poetry and his approach to poetic
diction.
Truth in Form
His truth is expressed through
artistic form, for Schiller was op-
posed to the tradition that poetry
is an expression of an artist's emo-
tions and experiences: his poems
were never a medium of personal
confession. In their beauty, they
have their own order and logic
which has the inescapable effect
of freeing us from our passions,
Prof. Jolles suggested.
Schiller felt that subject or con-
tent should be inoperative and
that formal structure "should do
everything."
"The essence of beauty and free-
dom is a purification of our pas-
sions and, like a leitmotif, the
praise of beauty rolls through his
poems."
Unity Lost
Schiller thought his age had
lost the sense of beauty and unity,
"and he looked back to antiquity
mournfully.
This, he said, requires a formal
aesthetic analysis. Schiller, a
"master of dramatic craftsman-
ship," found his unifying element
in symbolical structure, only in
terms of which do his words re-
veal.their intended meanings, "but
this aesthetic organization is over-
looked if we seek meaning instead
of form," he added.
Man can regain his aesthetic
freedom "not through the absence
of passions" but "his feelings un-
dergo a transubstantiation, to a
disinterested state of mind un-
related to any practicable end."
Motives Conflict
Moreover, there is a "tragic con-
flict between the voice of the
heart' and the desire to act for

utilitarian motives, Prof. Jolles ex-
plained, quoting Schiller's "the
human, not the great part, would
I act."
And, through this "'voice of the
heart" the human and the free,
truth and certainty are realized,
needing neither physical or meta-
physical substantiation, Prof. Jol-
les observed.
He asserted that Schiller, even
in this sense, inspires through the
spirit and not through words..:
Especially here, he must be ap-
proached through apprehending
the symbolical language of the
forms of poetry. "The ultimate
goal then, is freedom and beauty,
not rationality or the discharging
of ethical duties," Prof. Jolles con-
cluded.

Professor

merly of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, will discuss two Biblical fig-
ures, Moses and Samuel, in the

By SANDRA SWIFT
"I don't believe we can ever
catch up with the demand for
hospital beds if we don't have re-
habilitation services for long-
term illnesses," Dr. Leroy E. Bur-
ney, Surgeon General of the Unit-
ed States Public Health Service,
said yesterday.
Coming from Washington to
speak on "Current Problems in
Public Health in the United
States," he told listeners the Pub-
lic Health Service recognizes two
pressing areas of concern: reha-
b i l it a t io n and environmental
problems.
night now, Dr. Burney insisted,
the rehabilitation of the sick at.
home or in public health depart-
mients rather than in hospitals, is
essential to relieve overcrowding.
In one small hospital, he found
ORCH ESTRAS
by
BUD-MOR
featuring

that 30 per cent of the patients
no longer had need of care in a
hospital.
The;people are more willing to
appropriate money for something
they will see, like hospital wings,
Dr. Burney said, and they tend
to ignore the need for places
where people could come to con-
valesce.
City hospitals which need reno-
vation or new facilities also pose
a problem. They no longer have
a large and wealthy clientele, he
pointed out, because the popula-
tion shifted from the cities to the
suburbs and rural hqspitals have
expanded.
Moreover, they are economical-
ly inefficient because often each
offers the same specialized serv-
ices. This waste of manpower
could be alleviated, Dr. Burney
said, if the hospitals of a city
would cooperate in their areas of
specialty, such as use of radio-
isotopes.

Since two thirds of the popu-
lation is located in only 184 met-
ropolitan districts, the Public
Health Service offers- help in en-
vironmental problems. Although
the states are sovereign in their
health affairs, they can call for
government aid any time they
wish.
Scientists and sanitary engi-
neers are now working on the
problems of just how much harm
comes from the industrial wastes
which are dumped into the water
and released into the air. They
also want to know what the ef-
fects of the minute radioactivity
in the air are.
As illustration, Dr. Burney men-
tioned, that we know now just
what large amounts of chemicals
o rradioactivity will do to the fac-
tory workers, but little is known
about the day-to-day result of the
small amounts of poisonous gases
in th.e air on the cities' citizens.
