do with the Senatorial fight. It was re
ported that Mrs. la Toilette was going
10 Washington 10 consult with her hus-
band about the situation, and il was some
time before it was learned that Mrs la
Toilette had gone TO Washington, after
having remained at the home here all
winter, to see Mr. La Toilette before he
should set out on his lecturing tour. She
desired TO catch the morning train out Of
Chicago for the East.

Mrs. la Toilette told a friend that her
walking into town had no significance.
AS she was known to be fond of walking.

everything is adapted for raising

Tho medical inspection OF school
children-a subject now provoking
general discussion In this country,
and particularly in this city-is the
topic Of book recently published IN
London, 1.-THE Health Of the School
Child" by DR.. w. Leslie Mackenzie.
He notes that In England. as in GER
tain countries on the continent tand
here also. we may add. the physical
examination OF children is mo longer
q question of doubtful politics.; 1t
has passed into the region OF admin
istration." A point of great practical
interest which he brings out Is that.
by a little cooperation among the
teachers. the amount OF work thrown
on the doctors and the consequent
cost of the inspection may be consid-
erably lixhtened. DR.. Kerr. for eI-
ample. Of the London county council.
found that, with little care, the
teachers were able to find out almost
all the children that suffered from eye
defects" This testimony will not
surprise casual and unofficial school
visitors--among whom we reckon our
selves-who are often amazed at the
Indifference OF teachers TO defects OF
sight or hearing that are a manifest
handicap TO pupils. Boys and girls
who are half.blind or deaf will move
slowly from grade to grade, without
q word Of warning to parent or guard
ian from the unobservant teacher.
We hope that the growing attention
to this matter will. even where there
Is no formal medical inspection,
quicken teachers to duty that is too
often neglected.

How intensely practical and sensi-

work is shown by DR.. Wilfred T..
Grenfell. the medical missionary OF
the Labrador coast. In a recent ad-
dress descriptive OF his work he said.
WE paid more attention to benefit
Ing the poverty.ridden people by aid.
ing in their physical welfare than by
preaching and prayer. We establish
ed hospitals to care for the sick. open
ed stores where clothing and food and
tobacco could be obtained at a lower
price and Of a better quality than in
the regular stores. We helped to
teach the fishermen more about their
business OF fishing and the conditions
under which they lived. and how they
could better the conditions; and by
so doing we accomplished a greater
good than might have been wrought
by host OF preaching and praying
missionaries who ignore mems bodies
