School Nurses Ar. Successes.

New York is quite well satisfied
with the nurse in the schools, and no
doubt another year will see more Of
them installed. AS one instance Of
the work OF the nurse. It is reported
that $50 children supposed to be so
mentally deficient were found to be
so only because they were physically
unable to do the work required of
them. No doubt in the schools of the
future the school nurse, taking to the
homes the best ideas in regard to
health and hygiene, will be considered
as much part of the school system
as the teachers.

By DR.. DONEY
Is Enjoyed BY the Teachers
and Others at the
Institute.

Der OF city people were present at

of the origin Of this bit OF Mother
Goose melody, saying that the real
Jack Hornor was coachman, who
accidentally discovered the charter OF
the city in which he lived In a pie
which a minister was sending TO a
king. Hornor Dragged so much
about his cleverness in resculng the
document that some whg made up
the BIT OF doggerel which has since
becme famous to silence and humill-
ate the conceited coachman.
DR.. Doney then began his applica-
ton of the story by quoting the the
DRY which some believe that what
a man eats determines his character,
He ridiculed the hypothesis by saying
that II this were so, there would be
a number Of presidents. oil and steel
kings, and baseball players, whose
professions he said were among the
aspirations of the average boy. by a
mere change of diet,
he then said three qualities were to
be found In the average young boy,
physical, mental and spiritual hum
ger, injudiciousness, and independ-
ence. and told several stories Of a
humorous character TO demonstrate
his points. He went on to make u
figuratIve pastry, which he considered
would be adapted to the boys needs,
and said II should contain obedience,
decorum, or good manners, industry.
