Physical Defects Among Children.

From Tic American Review Of Reviews
for April.
Moral obllqulty, of which tnancy
is the first manifestation in school
life, goes hand In hand with physica!
defects. Thus, among eishty.three
truants examined By the department
Of health. in the special truant school
In this city, 81 per cent. were found to
have physical defects. In most cases
of u remedial character. Truancy and
It's kindred ills-ihe street habit
and the gang habit"-lead TO crime
unless speedily checked. The record
Of the Children's Court in New Yori;
and OF the similar court In Chicago
showed that nearly all the youthful
criminals that were brought 10 these
courts were truants, and. what Is
more. that S. per cent. OF these chill
dren were found physically defective.
The source OF truancy. therefore,
lies chiefly In defects which prevent
children from pursuing their studies.
Remove these defects, and the ability
TO 90 Oh with school work will be re.

The incumbent Of that Office shows
that this conception is essentially

would have been averted. and the
country would have been spared hu.
initiating scandal.
BY his service Of eight years In
that body as a Senator. Mr.. Fairbanks
became acquainted with nearly all It's
members. and got very valuable
knowledge OF It's atmosphere and fits
traditions. Thus he was particularly
well equipped for the position OF its
presiding officer. which he gained In
the election Of 1901. He Is as skiIlful
n parliamentarian as was ColfaS, who
went 10 the second Office in Grants
first term, and he has won a popularity
among his associates and among the
leaders Of his party in and out of Con.
grcss cluallng that which Hobart ac.
Iuired n the first term of Mckinley.
Mr.. Fairbanks experience 10 the past
two years shows the great possibilities
for an able, tactful. and ambitious
statesman which the Vice Presidency
offers. II Is not remarkable that at

Was Her Story True'
Mr.. Delmus next went into long
discussion as to whether or not IT was
true Evelyn Nesbit had told her story
to Thaw in Paris in 1903. That, he
declared, was the main question OF
the trial. Mr. Delmas said Mr.. Jerome
would denounce Erelyn's story as
false, as the cunning device OF Harry
Thaw's mind. Tho district attorney
would declare that the girls love for
truthfuiness made her revolt at the
idea Of swearing to these false
charges against Stanford White; that
she refused to sign them in the face
Of threats and great physical violence.
The first inquiry, said Mr.. Delmas,
shoull! be into the veraclty OF Evelyn
Nesbit.

done Eye'yn Nesbit by White, Mr.. Del.
mas reeounted how White had poison.

that she had committed no wrong.

continued. "he. the strong, big man,
went TO her apartments anil knelt at
the feet OF this child, kissed the hem
Of her garments and told her that
what she had done was not wrong.
and that the only sin was to be found
out. Told her that II sh0 would re-
frain from telling her mother or any.
one else, all would be well. Told her
that all women were wicket; that
some succeeded in conceallng their
vices. some were found out.
"And so he lured her again aud

their relations continued for a period
of several months.
