LIERLE BEFORE CLUB WOMEN.
Local Physician Tells of Necessity of
Medical Inspection in Schools

Local Physician Tells of Necessity of
Medical Inspection in Schools.
Before an audience of forty women,
members and guests Of the S. c. I.
Club Of Taylor township, DR.. T. P.
Lierle, of this city, delivered an address
on Medical Inspection in the Public
Schools" at Central Church Of Christ
Thursday afternoon. DR.. Lierle illus
trlted his address with stereopticon
views showing defective conditions
that exist in the public schools, and
how these conditions cause diseases
that otherwise would be preventat tive,
and impair the faculties and general
physical conditions of school children.
DR.. Lferle's adress furnished much
food for thought on the part of parents,
whose eyes were opened to many con-
ditions, the existence of which the pa
rents were unaware.
why is it not good logic to increase
the resistance Of our boys and girls
against disease as a preventive meas
ure In the preservation Of human life ?"
asked the speaker. 1.-The boys and girls
OF any commonwealth are its greatest
asset. 1ts wealth, development-its

work made necessary thereby fell to
Mrs. Wells lot-keeping an account of
the hundreds of witnesses Subpoenaed,
computing the sums due for their SER
vices and mileage, revising and index
ing the printed hearings and other doc
umentS pertaining to the case (6,0OO
pages of matter), caring for each OF
the numerous exhibits. answering the
correspondence and inquiries, and at
tending to the countless. other details
incident to the investigation.
Many compliments were paid Mrs.
Wells upon her ability in handling the
work and her knowledge of the case
by members of the committee news
papers, witnesses and spectators, and
finally she received the substantial ap-
probation of the senate by way of an
appropriation in a general deficiency
act of $4,000 for her extra clerical serv-
ices-an amount well earned but not
sought or expected by her, altho earn
estly approved by every member of
the committee.
In Politics Since 1900.
Mrs. Wells, SO years old, is a native
of Illinois; she was reared and edu-
Gated in Iowa and went to the Rocky
Mountain region in 1899 In 1900 she
became secretary to the chairman Of
Wyoming republican state central COM
Iaittee, and after President McKinley's
election. in November Of that year, she
went to Washington to become a clerk
to the senate committee on claims,
leaving that position five years later.
when Senator Warren left the claims
craftsmanship and became chairman of
the military affairs committee, to take
the clerkshtp she is now leaving She
became SO thoroughly familiar with the
arduous duties Of the claims committee
that she Is still sought by attorneys
and claimants when tangles arise.
cat the close Of the f1fty-eighth
congress Mrs. Wells was designated to
prepare the alphabetical index of pri-
vate claims pending before the senate
in that CONGRESSMAN index Of $4,000
names, each followed by a history Of
the case in and to the close Of the
fifty-eiGhth congress, which was print
ed as public document for the use Of
congress.
Mrs. Wells was the first woman
enrolled to DO the regular clerical
duties Of an important committee of
the senate. AT present there are
forty or more women on the senate
rolls the majority being engaged in
stenographic work exclusively.
There is not more loyal western
er, greater lover OF outdoor life, par
t!cularly horseback riding. nor a more
stanch republican than this lady She
! is the standpattedest Of the regulars
and the most regular Of the stand
patters, and. while not rampant
| militant suffraget, she is proud of the
| fact that as a Wyoming citizen she
| mas the same voting privilege, from
presidential electors down the list, that

new thing, and that the teachings Of
early educators advocated such in
speetion. Its gradual development has
been noticed beginning first in Europe.
Sweden adopted medical inspection Of
it's schools in 1868, France in 1884. Nor
way in 1885. Argentina in 1888, Ger
many in 1895 and Japan and Switzer-
land in 1898.
One hundred twenty eight cities in
the United States have efficient sys-
TENS Of medical inspection, and
the larger of the cities employ regu-
larly appointed inspectors, and corps Of
assistants, whose duties are to exam
inc into the physical conditions Of the
pupils and improve the hygiene and
sanitation Of the school rooms.
DIR. Lierle told Of a superficial ex-
animation made by him in the second
grades of the public schools here, and
while only the grosser defects were
taken account Of 80 per cent Of the
children were found to be suffering
with preventable physical defects. Of
these both parents and teachers were
ignorant. More than 80 per cent of
children in school, according to the
speaker have defective teeth: so per
cent are afflicted with vern1in or par
asitic conditions; 20 per cent have de-
fective vision, and 10 per cent debil-
itated condition due to ricketts,. st.
vitus' dance, anemia, adenoids. dis
charging ears, obstructed breathing,
and many forms of functional heart
trouble.
1T is not expected, said DR.. Lierle.
that a medical inspector shall be ar
bitrary or unreasonable in conducting
the affairs of mis- office He should ad-
wise parents as to these physical de-
fects in their children. give health
talks investigate the cause Of epidem-
les in the schools, and give lectures to
teachers and parents on questions in
volving health of school children. He
should investigate social conditions
and local influences affecting the men
tai and physical development Of the
children-in short he should be the
mechanism whose duty it is TO keep in
repair the most delicate and intricate
machine known, on which devolves the
destiny of future generations"
The members of the PrairieviIie Aid
Society. of Taylor township, and the
Lamoille Women's Club were guests of
the S. c. /. Club for the afternoon.
Following DR.. Lierle's address Mrs.
Mabel Thomas gave a piano number
