Yes, Even Then Pollution is something new? The youngsters just now discovered it? Not so! In a copy of the Philadel phia Inquirer, dated June 20, 1903, one of the featured ar- ticles concerns itself with the problem of pollution in the Schuylkill river — particul- arily in the area of Mana- yunk. And, would you believe that some of the pictures look very much like the ones now being used to emphasize the problem of water pollu- tion? Yes, pipe inlets, factories and farms—all were reported to be throwing pollution into the river. The story is told in the well-preserved paper brought to the Bulletin last week by Ruth Mateer, who discevered it stuck in the back of an old framed picture.
