DR.. G. Eliot Flint is willing to 60 on record as an advocate Of
pills versus punishment. He quotes DR.. Macmillan Groszman, an
eminent authority on childrens diseases, to the effect that "any ap-
parent dissemination to obey comes from imperfect hearing; aversion
to reading and writing, from imperfect vision; i~rrtabiity and sulki-
ness n caused often by astigmatsm, which in its turn produces eye
strain and persistent headaches. Laziness is but a symptom Of amaze
mia (poor blood, or Of neurasthenia nervous exhaustion). and these
may be caused by malnutrition, overwork, lack Of sleep, o r poor ven.
tnation in the chlds sleeping room"
As for fretfulness, that's Indigestion. Making monkey face.
and whispering in school are incipient forms of nervous diseases
Hystcrical symptoms are stubbornness, instability Of will and gen.
eral responsibility. Even fbs are danger signals indicating dis
ease.
The doctors re strongly in favor Of Introducing into the public
schools of New York City, by cooperation of school officers with
the Board of Health, medical experts and social workers, a system of
psychic, in addition to the present physical, examination.
If they are right, and have their way, we may live to see a
total abolition Of corporal punishment in the home as we'll as at

were so cool that he thought them
chilly.
"Where've you been all this timer"
asked Mrs. Jarr sharply. We've been
home for hours"

MILFORD MAN BURNED TO
DEATH IN SMALL GARAGE
UNTIMELY DEATH OF HOWARD
II. BROMLEY LAST WEDNESDAY
No One Suspected Him Being in the
Burning Building and Friends We're
Horror Stricken BY His Death

No One Suspected Him Being in the
Burning Building and Friends We're
Horror Stricken BY His Death
The citizens of Milford were
greatly shocked by the untimely
death of Howard H. Bromley last
Wednesday afternoon. None of the
large throng which stood around his
burning garage on N. Pear Street
and watched the fremen fight the
blaze had the faintest idea that
human being was slowly being
burned to death within. In fact,
the firemen considered the fire so
small an affair that they had discon-
nected their hose and started back
to the firehouse, when a small boy
discovered fire on the second floor
of the building. Several men rused
upstairs and the body of Mr.. BrOm-
ley was found by Henry W. Har-
rington, a pressman of the Milford
Chronicle Office, who Immediately
called several physicians to the
scene. All efforts to save the in
jured man were of no avail, how
ever, and he died without regaining
consciousness. When found Mr..
Bromley was laying fiat of his back
with arms outstretched. 1t is
thought that his clothing caught fire
from gasoline torch with which he
was soldering some metals. A heavy
curtain was found partly wrapped
around the injured man, which leads
to the supposition that he was trying
either to extinguish the flames or
to escape from the room. A cor
oner's jury found the verdict that
death was caused by accidental burn.
ing. Mr.. Bromley was a young man
who was well liked by all who knew
him. A widow and two children sur
vive him.
