TUBERCULOSIS TO
Be FOUGHT IN
SCHOOL ROOMS
Vacuum Cleaners May Be intro
duced TO Prevent Spread
of Germs.

The question of preventing, as far as
possible, the danger of spreading tuber-
culosis in the schools is receiving the
attention of the Board of Education.
The medical staff, which has only re
Gently been taken in hand by the board,
has been instructed to be very careful
to fight the disease from every side.
Among the plans that the board has
been considering is that of having the
school leaned with a acuum system.
Some of the opponents of this method
want it tried in the schools and addi-
tons that are % be built in the future.
DR.. Addison B. Poland when seen to-
day by an EVENING STAR reporter
praised the vacuum system. At the
present time there is nothing done to
clean the halls or corridors of the
Schools during sessions. to-.
The children, although they are for
hidden to eXpectorate in the classrooms,
or in fact in any part of the school
buildings, violate the rule to a greater
or less degree, despite the vigilance of
the principal or the teacher.

famous disputes between President

The committee incorporated in the
bill the same limitation on the use of

ton that drew forth the severe criti-
cisIn of the President in his annual

In the bill the President is authorized
with the consent of the republic of
Cuba. to invite proposals for remov-
ing the wreck of the battleship Maine
from Havana harbor and to communf-
with Congress as soon as may
be practicable, estimates based upon
the proposals received Hereunder.
The bill carries authority for the
construction of a building in Wash
at a cost of $500, 900 to ac-
commodate the geological survey, the
reclamation service, the general land
Office and the Indian bureau.
The largest item in the bill is for
ov{5n,,oti1 r., re r,orl- -, thu Do n ma
canal. For this purpose $S3, 6SS, 900 is
appropriated, or $4,000, 900 more than is
carried in the current sundry civil APP
preparation bill for that expenditure.
The second largest item is s19,574,514
for rivers and harbors construction
work authorized by law. Another large
