NOT FOR MEDICAL INSPECTION
Board Of Education Turns Down Plan
Of Member Rice.
ONLY TWO VOTES IN ITS FAVOR
Plan to Purchase Additional Ground
for the Castelar, school Brought
UD, but Goes Over q
Future Date.

Medical inspection of the children attend
ing the public schools was lost in the meet
ing of the Board Of Education last night by
the decisive vote of s TO 2.
Member Rice introduced a resolution pro-
riding for the employment OF a chief in
spector and the fitting up of a laboratory,
the intention being to secure the services OF
assistants in young physicians. Mr.. Rice
talked on his resolution and in the course
Of his remarks took occasion to say that
he had prepared his resolution before
Health Commissioner Connell sent his COM
munication along the same lines to the
board. in fact he had IT in mind for some
months. Mr.. Rice also stated that Omaha
is the only large city, which has not medi-
cal inspection in the schools and that in
laws governing it.
Member Holovtchiner moved as an
amendment the enactment of a state law
requiring medical inspection in the schools
and Member Lindsay seconded the amend
ment, but President Cole declined TO enter
tain the motion for the reason that the
board is not empowered to enact state laws.
The original motion then came to a vote,
but was lost. AS the last order of business
DR.. Holovtchiner moved TO take the Rice
resolution from the table, but this was
also lost.
More Ground for Castelar,.
DR.. Holovtchiner made another effort TO
secure additional ground for the CASTELAR,
street school thereby making possible the
erection of an addition to the building at
some time in the future. He had secured
options on a couple Of lots adjoining the
school property for $40 and sought to pass
a resolution providing for the purchase of
the land. The resolution was laid over
one meeting on the rules.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Ryder noti-
fled the board that certain doors at the
Long school be changed and changes be
made In the fire escape on this building.
The communication was referred to the
building and property committee.
Carl z. Herring. elected to the seat
vacated by Robert Dempster, resigned, took
his seat as a member OF the Board of Edu-
cation last night for the first time. Mr..
Herring was for eight years attorney for
the board. but was superseded last August
by Edgar e Baird, a former member of the
board. After Mr.. Herring took his seat he
was called upon 30 make a speech. His re-
marks were short. the new member saying
that he might find himself in a position
similar to a boy he once heard of. This
youth had a terrible time at home, said
Mr.. Herring. and finally he was driven out
Of the home nest. He had no sooner left
than his mother repeatedly importuned him
to return. Finally he came back, but only
70 have the "stuffing licked out of him"
Mr.. Herring said he hoped that his ex-
perience would not be the same.
