MEDICAL. AID
FOR SCHOLARS
BEING URGED
Subscription List to be
Started by School Board
to Treat Pupils.
MANY HAVE ADEk0lDS
AND BAD TEETH

In order to cope with the serious
physical conditions ia public schools the
Board of Education last night took ac-
tive steps to start public subscription
list for families who are financially un-
able to aid their children. Each COM
missioner volunteered to see a number
of physicians to ascertain what opera
tions could be made for by the whole
sale.
This action followed the reports made
by Chairman Fletcher Of the commit
tee of physical welfare and of Super
intendent S. f. Shull, They reported
that out of 5,031 children, 5000 had
poor teeth, 855 were troubled with ade
noids, 341 had eye trouble, At showed
hair diseases and 26 were afflicted with
heart trouble. This report is alarming
and it surprised the senate probers
here yesterday. Mr.. Fletcher said it
interested Senator Frelinghuysen how
the board would cope with these condi-
tions, to such an extent that he asked
to be informed by letter later on.
In rendering his report, Mr.. Fletcher
said the subject Of disposing Of these
cases of affliction had received mature
deliberation and that the only manner
possible to aid the children and their
families was to start a public subscrip-
tion list. The state laws do not permit
the treating of pupils out of school
funds. Mr.. Fletcher stated he was Of
the belief that good frank appeal to
the public would carry weight and in
that manner the families unable to have
their children treated because of fnan-
cial straits could receive aid. The av-
erage cost of an operation for adenoids
is $500, but the school commissioners
were Of the opinion that better rates
might be secured if the doctors were
consulted and told of the state Of sf-
fairs.

Special By United Press Wire.
Washington, Dec. 14:-Giford
Pinchot today made his first com
ment on the verdict given in the
majority report of the Ballinger IN
vestigating Committee. He declared

policies which Ballinger had opposed,
and in fact justified the Pipchot pol
Icy of conservation.
1.-THE question whether or\pot Mr..
Ballinger is an unfaithful pubhc SER
want" continued Pinchot, sis OF 1T
tie consequence compared to the saw
ings of the coal in Alaska and of
water power everywhere for the
people. If these resources are saved
the men against whom the majority
of the investigating committee had
decided will win. no matter what the
majority may say. II the resources
are lost to the people these men will
lose too. That is what the fight is
about"
