MEDICAL MAN FOR SCHOOLS
City Health Officer Wants Assistant
for Their Inspection.
Tells What the Health Inspection
Service Requires to Reach It's
Highest Efficiency.

Closer medical Inspection Of the public
schools is urged by DIR. ". c. Wood
ward, health officer OF the District In
order that this may be possible. AN in
crease in the force Of the health depart
ment he says. is necessary. When the
system OF inspection was established. no
provision was made for the appointment
of "a competent assistant TO the health
officer: twelve inspectors with compensa-
ton at the rate of S5oe being all the as
sistance authorized. The result has been.
according 20 DR. Woodward. that such SUI
peryislon as is given TO the service by the
health officer and other employees ia the
service of the health department. is given
at the expense of their other duties.
"What the medical inspection service
needs TO reach its highest efficiency said
DIT Woodward, lis closer supervision by
the health officer or a competent medical
assistant. acting for him, who can, dur
ing the entire school year. devote all his
time 10 the school inspection service.
1T needs the better training Of teachers
to assist in the detection Of sick and de-
fective pupils II needs facilities Tor max
ing routine examinations from time TO
time 20 determine the rate Of development
Of each pupil which means, chiefly, the
appointment Of more medical inspectors
in the schools. IL needs an increase in the
clerical force Of the health department so
as to permit the proper classification OF

The municipal election of the town Of

tions. At this election two members of
the town council are to be voted for
that is. successors to Thomas A

ably the voters viii be called upon to
vote for three new men, on account OF
Councilman George W. O'Brien. who
win have been absent from the meet
ings for three consecutive months or
the 18th of April, being detained in
Pennsylvania on business.
Mr.. Weaver il is understood, viii not
be candidate for reelection, and Mr.
Jenkins has not as yet declared his in
tention Of again being candidate.
The main issue at stake is TO defeat
the ratification of Town Marshal Col
Inns. should Mayor Garrett again ap-
point him on May 90, when the new
members take their oath of Office The
opposition needs three votes to defeat
Mayor CARROTS appointment The hold
over member of the town council J..

self as to his position on the appoint
ment of Collins. Mayor Garrett has
never bad an appointment turned down.
! and it seems to be the general impress

elected they viii abide by his decision.
Little doubt exists n\the minds of
the people here as to Mayor CARROTS

! generally conceded that the mayor will
reappoint him when the day arrives,
| The only chance that now remains open
to defeat Collins is to get the necessary
three votes in the council to reject his
