Trained nurses have been introduced into
the public schools of New York. and the
system of daily inspection Of the children
is proving a success. The most prevalent
contagious disease in the public schools is
one OF the eyes. The nurses are not per-
mitted to prescribe for the children except
in simple remedies, such as washes for the
eyes and scalp Besides visiting the schools
the nurses call at the homes Of the children
who have been sent away from the school
because OF these contagious diseases, and
instruct the mother how to take care OF the
afflicted ones. There are now ten nurses
employed at a salary OF SIS a month, and
this number is to be increased as the sys-

There Is probably no subject upon which
the average teacher thinks more and says
less than Of the substitute system employed
in the city schools at present. II Is a con-
slant source % discomfort to teachers who
are compelled to surrender their classes
temporarily to the substitute. manlfestly
an injustice to the pupils. and there are
few experienced teachers who believe the
plan is profitable, even to the substitute,
aside from the money compensation she re-
ceives.
Under the present arrangement young

absent teachers. sometimes only q half ses-

the general opinion Of teachers that the
pupils lose by It.
The question is asked. "If not as sub

ers to gam their experienced" The teach
ers ask. For whose benefit and profit are
the schools maintained? Are they profess
sional training schools for women who have
already received their education, OF are they
supported in the interest Of the children
who compose them"
Before the present system was introduced
one or .wo regular substitute teachers we're
employed who gave their entire time to
this work. They we're among the most ex-
perienced and strongest teachers on the
force. thoroughly familiar with the work Of
all grades, and especially fitted to govern

class lost while under their charge.
In speaking of the present system, the
principal Of one of the large schools said:
These new teachers that come as substi-
tutes simply keep school, they teach the
children little or nothing. The school that
has a substitute often soon learns that they
can do pretty much as they please and l
have known ordinarily we'll behaved chill

one OF these new teachers and try to see
how far they could go without being &C

teacher, who is familiar with all that will
be required Of her, that can 90 justice to a
temporary charge, for a lack OF control only
adds to the diHicultiy in presenting sub

Another principal said: "0nly recently

unfit to be in the school room. retained her
class and did herself a serious injury be-
