branch of the Los Angeles County Med
ical society met tonight in the board
of trade rooms for the discussion of the
subject Of school Athletics and Hy-
giene." There was a good attendance.
The first paper presented was by DR.
Ernest y. Hoag. treating Of "Hygienic
and Medical 1nspection of Schools" and
telling at length of the systematic in
spection of the public schools in the
interest OF health. DR.. Stanley p.
Black. the city health officer, followed
with talk on school athletics and the
necessity of keeping the pupils from en-
tering games or sports too strenuous
for their developing bodies.
Football came in for much criticism,
especially as 1t is plaved in the lower
schools, It being the speakers conten-
tion that only older boys of developed
bodies and greater nhysical endurance
should be permitted TO enter this game.
Dr. Charles Lee kinR led the discus
sion on these subjects. which gradual
ly moved to rldiculng the alleged
health articles and care of the body
hints now being published in a certain
Los Angeles morning paper. The pro-
posed adjustment of football did not
enter largely into the discussion.
Before adjournment the meeting
voted to appoint a committee of three
to consult with the board of education
and the faculty of the city schools in
the hope that adequate physical in
struction can be introduced into each
of the ward schools. The discussion
hinged toward the end upon the ath-
letics of the grade schools Director
Braden was present by invitation and
took part in the discussion.

Council Divides on Munson
The matter of most interest in to-
days meeting of the city council was
the discussion over the proposed pur-
chase of typewriter for the Office
OF the city treasurer. When the mat
ter came up on the recommendation
of Councilman Loughrey the mayor in
sisted that machine was more need
ed for general use about the city hall.
A lively discussion followed, with the
result that while the machine was or
dered purchased it is put in the care
of the clerk and will not be devoted ex-
clusively to the use OF Treasurer Mum
son. The discussion only accentuated
the difference between the city hall fac
tions which broke out some months
ago when Auditor Kernaghan refused
to allow the payment OF the treasurer's
salary for technical reasons. The
council did much routine work, chiefly
