Medical Inspection of
Public School Children.

Georgia's state board of health re-
port reveals the fact that two-thirds OF
the school children in three of the
healthiest counties in Georgia are
physically defective. .2hc report is
tell you that 1t is true.
Georgia is a healthy state and the
condition there is not an unusual one,
but 1t should bring home to the fathers
and mothers of Florida the fact that
the health of their children is being
sadly. although not Intentionally, neg

A child may not appear to be physi-
cally- defective this year, Lut next year
it's eyes or some other part of the body
may completely give away, when, If
the proper treatmnt had been given
sooner. the child might have avoided
t illness.
There should be a medical inspection
of the pupils in public schools, to pre-
vent. not to cure, disease.
The physical defects may be only
minor ones at first, and the child may
not be aware of their existence. but for
children so affected to cope with sound
and hearty children, makes them
strain the weak parts and weak man
or woman is the result.
Florida is probably the heaFhiest
state in the Union. We have every
thing here to make strong and robust
children, but not enough attention is
paid to the physical welfare of school
children, and the school officials and
the patrons Of our schools ought to de-
mand that an expert in children's dis
eases make regular examinations of
the pupils.
Florida will be a leader among the
81 ties Of the nation within short
time. The state has so many advan-
tages over the commonwealth of other
sections, and we ought 10 make every
effort to make the coming generation
men and women of fine intellectual
and physical attachments.
Strong and healthy boys and girls
are less liable to acquire the habits
which will in later years destroy the
minds and their physical we'll being
Give the little ones attention while
they need it and the children of the
next generation will be a blessing to

1O-CAUsEs OF TRouBAE

A telephone plant, no matter
how well it may be constructed, is
subject to damage by the elements
at all times. In the summer cleo
trical storms often put telephones
out of commission. One bolt of
lightning can completely destroy
a cable containing two hundred or
more pairs of wires. This fire.
quently happens. In the winter
season sleet and snow storms play
havoc with our lines and cause not
only heavy financial loss, but
grave annoyance.
Our system is constructed with
q view to withstanding these de-
structive storms. We have build
ed one of the most modern tele-
phoning systems in the world and
when it is damaged we spare nei-
ther time nor money in repairing
the damage as quickly as possible.
The telephone is such a delicate

The Staunch
Insurgent Republicans

1t is not amiss to give credit to the
insurgent Republicans for their CO.
operation with the Democratic party in
the extra session of congress. For
q while many doubted their sincerity
and expected them to fall back and
vote with the standpatters when the
real test came.
To vote solidly against the president
and against the majority meant a loss
of prestige with the party and, proba-
bly,. a loss of the best committee ap-
pointments, but those insurgents who
have contended for reform and tarln
reduction and stood by their guns dur
ing the fight have the commendation
Of the American public, and we be-
lieve. of their constituents.
Just what will ultimately be the
future state of the Republican insur-
gents is a matter of speculation. 1t Is
practically certain that they will be
left in the cold next year when the
ticket is arranged for the national con-
test Mr.. Taft will, without doubt, be
the party leader and if the insurgents
would not vote with him in congress
it is not expected that they will vote
for him for election.
There are only two courses left for
the insurgents. They cannot affiliate
with their standpat friends and be true
to themselves. They must therefore
either join the Democrats outright or
form an independent party to hold the
balance of power and vote with the
party nearest in accord with them,
which means the Democratic party.
The insurgents have proven true to
their promises and with their help in
the regular session the Democrats are
going to do something toward tariff
reduction that will make the protected
interests shake in the knees

When the Alabama Republican state
convention convened last week, the
presiding officer called upon one of the
negro preachers in the audience to of
fer a word of prayer. There were
white preachers in the audience and
some of the Republican members got
mad because they thought a white
preacher might have better results and
Il Republicans next year will need
all the help they can get. 1t seems
like a problem to eliminate the dark
cloud from the ranks of RepubHcanism.
