far, the most extensive means FOR the
spreading of ontagious diseases
Thus the community through it's
boards of health has been forced. not
only to protect itself from the spread
of disease in many ways quite ur-
necessary in the carrier period, but
has had to become (unconsciously,
even to itself an agency for the es
adjustment of American ideals.
Boards of health have been compelled
to lay forcible hands upon the school.
time and again during epidemics, long
before it became recognized that the
school was permanently to be a pos
sible focus and distributor of disease,
and hence needed permanent and
thorough medical inspection.
Let us consider again. In the ear
lier period and indeed during all of
that portion of mans history which
preceded the last century, the bulk
of the worlds work was done by hu-
man muscle. These conditions have
now changed for most people for most
of the years of their lives, it has
changed for the country as we'll as for
the city. The bulk of the worlds
work is done now, not by human or
animal muscle. but by the human
mind Man has harnessed the great
powers of nature. He breaks his
night with electricity, carries himse f
and his goods with elevators, automo-
biles, steam vessels, railroad trains,
submarines, and i'll this century, with
flying machines. He no longer sows
or reaps by hand; he makes his cloth
and clothing, shoes, hats. and even de-
corations by machines.
This change is most important of
all to children, for it involves the two
chief agencies that have been respon-
sible for their development into adults
having strong vitality and clean NOR
ais. 1 refer to work and to pay.
THE normal work with the parents,

THE all-around farm where a boy

trades has been replaced by the specia-

Our children of today have neither
the time for pay nor the space for

fective eyesight have been seriously
handicapped in their school work.
Many are found to have defective

recognized influence on the welfare,
happiness, and mental vigor Of the
child Attention has been directed to
the real significance of adenoids and
enlarged tonsils, of swollen glands
and carious teeth.
medical inspection today seeks not
only the detection of contagious dis
ease but also the discovery of those
physical defects which interfere with
the child's ability to do his school
work, and which if neglected, will SER
iously affect his physical efficiency in
after life.
Teachers and parents have COM
menced to realize that from their
viewpoint and that of the school ply
stefan, that the problem of the pu-
pill with defective eyesight may be
quite as important to the community
as the child who has some contagious
disease. This child, p aced in a
school where physical defects are UNI
recognized and disregarded. is I'M
able to see distinctly, and headaches,
eyestran and failure follow all his
efforts at study. He cannot see the
blackboards and charts, printed books
are indistinct or are seen oily with
much effort-everything is blurred

companions, and becoming discour

This impression is strengthened by
his poor progress in school. Through
no fault of his own he is doomed to

hates his school, leaves long before he
has completed his course, and is well
started on the road to an inefficient
and respondent life.

REPUBLICAN TREACHERY

That the regular republicans have
nothing more at heart in their meth
DDS than the running of congress in
behalf of the Cannon interests, is
again evidenced today. 1t had been
the contention Of the regulars that the
democrats and insurgents wanted
them to give up control and still be
saddled with the responsibility. But

and the state has a claim upon the
child which demand recognition
eve are beginning to find out that
many of our backward pupils are
backward purely and simply because,
through physical defects, they are I'M
able to handle the wor kof the school
program. What these defects are
and the causes that lie behind them
are the things that We must know. If
we do not know them, we must find
them out and guard against them.
Education without health is useless.
1t would be better to sacrifice the
education, if, in order to obtain it, the
child must lay down his good health
as a price. Education must compre-
bend the whole man and the whole
man is built fundamentally on what
he is physically. Children are not
billiards or detectives by the will of
an inscrutible Providence but rather
by the law of cause and effect.
Gust here let me state that medical
inspection in so far as il pertains to
physical defects never says to the
parent you must do so an dso, but
This reminds me that some parents
rather calls the attention of the par
ent 20 the defect and allows h,mi to
do as he will with the child.
This reminds me that some parents
cooperate very heartily with the tea
cheers and inspectors. In one instance,
after the inspection OF the children,

ROOSEVELT KNOWS HE IS
BEATEN. DECLARES BARNES

New York. Sept. l9-Winiam Barnes,
jr.. of Albany. said over the telephone
tonight:
Vice President Sherman. selected by
the Republican state committee 10 be
temporary chairman of the Saratoga con-
vention. will be seated BY a majority Of
at least 50, and his majority may run up
to 100.
Col ROOsevelt'S visit 10 President
Taft was in itself an evidence that Col.
Roosevelt wanted help in the present
controversy. Col Roosevelt knew he
was beaten. or he would not have sought
President Taft's aid.
The great fight at Saratoga will be in
the committee on resolutions. II will be
determined in this committee whether
the Republican party is to be turned over
TO pOpulism. in the shape OF Statewide
primaries and nominations, or whether a
representative form Of government. in
the shape Of the convention system, will
be maintained.

REGRETS LORIMER INCIDENT.
Hamilton Club Member Talks of Ont
come of DisagreeabIe Episode.

New York. Sept. 1.-THE Hamilton
Club of Chicago wishes very much that
Col. Roosevelt had not forced the Lori
mer issue. according to William B. Aus
tin. vice president Of the club, who was
at the Waldorf to-day. Still, the club
Will accept the resignation OF Senator
Lorimer. in Mr. Austin's belief
Mr.. Austin said: The resignation COM
mittee is up for a meeting for to-mOr-
row night. which / am hurying back To-.
The general opinion is that ii will be ac-
cepted. We feel that Col. Roosevelt was
right possibly. but he got al what he
wanted TO do in the wrong way. He is
used to too much red fire. The same oh
ject could have been done in a quiet,
orderly way. without dragging the club
into so much nOtoriety.
''Of course, we regret the incident
keenly. The man at whom Roosevelt's
remarks were aimed was to have been
our guest, and to have sat on the same
platform with the colonel, and our hav-
ing TO withdraw the invitation-for Roose-
welt was the guest of honor, and had a
right TO say whom ne did not want at
the feast-put us in bad.
However, the club is composed Of lev
eled-headed men, and the effect upon il
will be small The fact is we have gain
ed, rather than lost, in spite of an at
tempt that has been made to make it
appear that the incident has disintegrated
the club. Lorimer has a few friends in
the club, but l doubt very much whether
any member of the club would uphold
the Senator in his methods"

His liabilities are given as So, $50. while
