MILLIONS OF CHILDREN

NJ EW YORK.-Twelve millions OF
~ the children Of the United States
are suffering from physical defects
which are serious enough to call for
immediate attention from parents and

Tho startling statement Is contained
IN a report on the physical condition
OF school children by a committee Of
prominent educators, headed by Chair.
man Burdenham. former president of
the New York board of education,
which ia published concurrently with
the opening OF the schools throughout
the country.
The inquiry has taken a wide scope
and the observations apply not only
to the school children OF New York,
but also TO those OF Boston, Chicago,
and other cities. A synopsis OF the re-
port says In part:
Based on the physical defects and
home conditions of 1,400 school chill.
dren OF New York II is estimated that
100000 Of the children Of the United
States have physical defects more OF

Two or three simple statements OF

enlarge the whole outlook for you!
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-03-13
SENATOR suTHERLANp's VIEW.

Senator Sutherland's outspoken ad-
vocacy CT the Galveston bills for the
improvement of Salt Lakes city gov
eminent, is ample evidence that the
opposition to these measures is from a
small remnant of the Republican party.
It shows. too. that the support of the
measures Is entirely non-partisan,
since its most prominent leaders are
members OF all parties. men who are
earnest in their wish for a better sys-
TEN OF city administration and seek no
partisan advantage in their position.
As a matter OF fact, it has been evil
dent since the early days of this session
that no opposition existed save among
the small politicians who realized that
the adoption Of the Galveston plan
would eliminate political trades and
small jobbery, put the jobbers out Of
business and establish business con-
ditons in the city's management of its
business affairs. To them that would
mean disaster. since political activity
alone would no longer be the measure
of mans claim on the pIums of office
and public servants would be chosen
for their ability-and willingness-to do
the work for which they are paid.
AS a resident of Salt Lake and as
man in public life familiar with the
conditions surrounding municipal gov
eminent here. Senator Sutherland's
opinion is entitled to great weight Now
that he has recorded himself in favor
of the proposed laws it would be we'll
for Mr.. Joseph and Mr.. Spry and Mr..
Caliister. who have claimed TO speak
for the entire Republican party of
Utah, TO modify their statements and
confess that they spoke only for them
selves and the other small politicians of
their party
