Kaleiopns bill. House Bill li9, pro-
viding for medical inspectors for the
schools, arouse n lively discussion. The
Terrible word ''leper" was used by
KanihO as Il club with which to try 10

way of thinking and induce them To
kill the bill. Kaniho moved to post

stance said that the present law re-
quires the Government physician Ia
inspect school children once In two
years. I'm my opinion" said Kaniho
III this bill became a law, IL would
enlarge ana develop the authority oi
the physician to do whatever he wishes
towards making the school children
leper suspects.
The Health Committee In talkinC

said that the examination of n schoo
pupil born with bent shoulders anC
crooked eyes, would not alter his con
dition whatever. What God had madt
man can not change or alter by an,
human skill
