MEDICAL INSPECTIONS
OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

Commenting on dispatch from Cam
den, N. j., to the effect that all appli-
cants for teachers certificates and
students in the Normal schools of that
State will be required to submit to a
medical examination, the Mitchell Re-
publican says very aptly:
"Here in Mitchell the School Board
sees to it that no teachers are employed
who suffer from tuberculosis, but they
are absolutely powerless to protect the
children from exposure to Consumption
in the pupils. And there is always
considerable number of children who
have the disease. Every day they sit in
school they throw out germs that make
assaults upon every other child in the
room. But parents whoaould go into q
tantrum over aConsumptive teacher,
are apparently wholly unconcerned over
the presence in the school room of Con-
sumptive children.
Systematic medical inspection of the
school children would discover every
pupil suffering from the dreaded white
plague. Their removal from school
would not only remove threatening
danger to the health of all other chill
dren, but in many case would better
the chances for recovery of the diseased
children. tuberculosis is 30 insidious a
disease that its existence may long 60
unsuspected by parents. Medical in
spection would often bring parents their
first knowledge of Consumption in their
child. 1t has been demonstrated again
and again that tuberculosis is durable if
treatment is begun early enough. But
once let the disease reach certain stage
and it is impossible for the body to
throw it of. Thus medical inspection of
the school children would give parents
an opportunity to save the lives of chill
dren, when without warning they would
delay until there was no chance of halt
ing the hand of death.
''This is but one phase Of the human
ity that is to be found in medical inspec-
ton of schools. The tragedy of lives
ruined by physical defects that make
children stupid and vicious, is entirely
another chapter. One would think that
parents would be ashamed to confess the
brutality of desiring their children to
suffer simply because they are ignorant
of their ills. This ignorance runs
every stratum of society. A
college president in South Dakota al
lowed his boy to almost die before re-
lieyipp him from adenoids."

Sudden Death of Senator Dolliyer.

J. P. Dolliver, senior Senator from
Iowa, died at his home in Fort Dodge,
Iowa, Oct Is, 1910 Death came with
out moments warning. For about
four weeks he had not been in good
health. However, while worried about
his illness, physicians and friends had
no idea that it would end fatally.
Jonathan Prentiss Dolliyer was born
near Kingwood, West Virginia, February
6, 1858. He was graduated from West
Virginia University in 1875. Shortly
afterward he moved to Iowa, settling at
Fort Dodge, where he was admitted to
the bar in 1873. He was twice elected to
the Senate, his present term beginning
in 1907. In the last session of Congress
he was outspoken in opposition of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
An ability to talk-an orstorical gift
that stamped him a leader wherever
men congregated-made Senator Dolli-
yer public figure and the idol of his
constituency.
Deceased was brother Off. II. Dolli-
yer, presiding elder of this NJ. E. dis
trict, who resides at Hot Springs.

The Argus-Leader has started the
publication of the special submissions
which are to be voted on November 9Th.
The matter occupies two solid pages in
the Argus Leader of fine nonpariel type.
The voter is expected to read this over
with care, to study each proposed sub
mission, to compare the laws submitted
with those of other States, and to vote
intelligently upon them when he goes
into the booth. Of course tens of thou
sands will never read them, and We i'm
agine good many thousands will vote
no on everything. on the theory that it
cannot do much harm to vote no but
that it may do harm to vote in favor of
what one does not understand. These
special submissions will be printed on
two baliots--one of them six feet long
and the other twenty inches long-bal-
lots which are absurdly confusing and
unjust to the voter.-Argus-L Leader.

The Iroquois Chief, perhaps the strong
est stalwart republican newspaper in the
state, prints this reference to Chauncey
L. Wood, democratic nominee for Gov
ernor:
"Mr. Wood is foxy old gentleman
and is doubtless fishing for stalwart votes
but the stalwarts are republicans all the
time and when the people speak at the
primaries the choice of the majority is
the choice of the stalwarts."
With the republicans united in sup
port of their congressional and state
ticket it is all over in South Dakota but
the shouting. The democrats will not
have even look in.

Damages Awarded for Destruction of
Young Forest Growth.

In an action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills National Forest brought by
the United States against the Missouri
River q Northwestern Railroad, the jury
has awarded damages to the Govern
ment not only for the loss Of merchant
able timber but also for the destruction
of understandable young growth.
This is regarded by Government off,
cials as establishing very important
precedent. So far as is known at the U.
5. Department Of Agriculture, it is the
first time that any court has recognized
what foresters call the expectation
value" Of young growth as furnishing a
basis for the award of damages. The
difficulty in the way Of such an award
in the past has been that there was no
way to prove to the satisfaction of the
courts the money value of the loss suf-
fered.
The award in the South Dakota case
followed the presentation of evidence as
to the cost of work in reforesting which
the Government is actually doing in the
Black Hills. The amount claimed for
the young growth burned was $l2 an
acre, and the claim under this item was
allowed in full by the jury. The total
amount of damages claimed was $3,-
72S.85, of which $2,634.45 was for mer-
chantable timber destroyed or injured
by the fire. 40 ~ ASS
1t is recognized by foresters that the
cost of artificial reforestation will not
always furnish fair basis for estimating
the damage to forest reproduction.
Where new growth can be expected by
natural sowing from seed-trees on the
ground within a short time, artificial
planting or sowing is an unnecessarily
expensive method. To meet such cases
what are known as yield tables" are
being prepared. By the use of these the
loss can be shown in terms of the final
crop and the time necessary to pro-
duce it.
Thus it is known that 10000 feet of
timber per acre can be cut once in 20
years, it is easy to calculate the value of
the crop when 10 years old by discount
ing from its value when mature. In
European countries where forestry has
been long practiced this method is reg
ularly applied in selling, condemning, or
estimating damages on forest property.
1t is also used abroad in insurance,
which would be impracticabe if there
were not both an accepted basis for de-
termining the loss suffered and reason
ably accurate knowledge of the hazard
involved.

Condition of the Stock Market.

So. OMAHA, Oct II, 1910.
Receipts of cattle last week were fairly
liberal, and although the opening was
rather weak, the windup was strong and
1Oc "a 15c higher. Cows and heifers
also made up all decline that occurred
the first of the week. There was very
good inquiry for the medium and heavy
weight breeders, but light weights closed
up weak. Good to choice killing steers
are quotable at $5.75 a. $3.50; fair to
good $4.75 O. $3.50; good to choice cows
and heifers $4.25 q $500; fair to good
$3.50 "a $4.Oc; veal calves $4.OO a. $500
good to choice heavy feeders $500 a.
$500; fair to good $4.75 @ $40; good
to choice light and medium weights
$3.50 @ $5.25; fair to good 1915 q
81. 40.
Sheep receipts of $4,000 last week
was the heaviest weeks run of the sea-
son. Fat sheep and lambs held up pretty
well, but supplies included so many light
lambs that the trade broke badly on this
class, There are $4,000 here today best
killers steady, others a dime lower.
Good killing lambs are quotable at Sc. AZ
