Physical examinations are conduct

tions from the normal that interfere
with the mental and physical health,
growth and development of the child.
We recognize that We are dealing with
organisms subjected TO the abnormal
conditions of school life, that these
organisms are constantly changing
and apparently insignificant variations
may lead us in a short time 10 such
gross defects that their correction is
difficult or impossible; and that the
normal educative process Is possible
only when the physical and mental
conditions of the child do not vary
too widely from established standards

at hand shows that large numbers of
defects are present in every school.
The detection of these variations can

 Crete would start on July 29
 Arrangements for the wedding were
 completed when the engineer wrote to his fiancee informing her he had
 been ruined in business and was com pelled to renounce the idea of marriage
 was not forthcoming. and she decided to enter an action for breach of prom ise against her ex-fiance, claiming 5000 damages.
 The engineers advocate informed the court that his client was patriot of Lorraine. and that several of his rela- tives had been killed by the Germans during the war of 1870. He had learned that his f1ancee was a native of Wur- temberg and was the daughter of cab driver. Therefore besides the question
 of patriotism nationality. he contended that her social position did not cor respond with his clients. Developing his arguments the counsel compared the position of his client with that of the heroine of Maurice Barres, Colette Bau- doche, who declined for patriotic req sons to marry a German. whom she loved On these grounds he demand ed that the girls action should be dis missed.
 The court could not give its de- cision off hand. It will take week to consider the points raised by the engineers counsel.

An association has been founded called the "Amis de I Art Dramatique,' the purpose of which is to create a vast movement of opinion against the pruri- ence and immortality of too great a number of contemporary plays. In the appeal made to the public it is pointed out that suggestive exh ibitions and ob- scene pleasantries have invaded the French stage, and are gradually de- stroying its old prestige" Among those i of the French academy who have joined | the association are: Marcel Provost, Charmes, Emile Faguet, Etienne Lamy, Emile Olivier, Paul Des chanel and the Marquis de Segur
 l The plan of campaign is very prac- tical. Every time a critic is too indul- gent of unwholesome works members subscribing to the paper in which the criticism appears will complain to the editor and stop subscription if redress is not given.
 AS for the theatres in which the plays are given the boycott is to be vigorous comite d etudes Is being formed to read and select plays, and a bulletin mensuel' will keep members au courant as to the pieces that are approved. Con- ferences will be frequently given by prom inent men of letters, and altogether a scheme of purifcation has been set on foot which only needs public support to insure complete success. The state has abolished the censor; the people are now to fill the void.

ABBE LEM|RE IN
 TROUBLE AGAIN Priest-Deputy Is Severely
 Criticized TO UPLIFT THE STAGE New Association Will Make War on Immorality-Death of Prince
 Lubo" Revises Old
 Memories
By GEORGE DuFREsNE

l Paris June 3.-tS Special. )--Abbe Le- mire is in hot water again. Everyone knows the picturesque figure of the reverend deputy for Hazebrouck, the pride of the radical socialists and the humiliation of the conservatives. The abbe, in recent years, has gone far in advance of the lessons he received from Cardinal Manning. Posing as a Chris tian democrat" his views irriated the Catholic party and the bishops took alarm. Last year he aroused the en- thusiasm of the ministerialists by ex- changing his old seat among the aristo- cratic opposition for a place among the radicals.
 There are two priests in the French | chamber. The Abbe Gayraud is nearly always absent, so that the only cassock there Is that of the Abbe Lemire, and l it is seen among the seculerists. He is very cultured man. exquisitely eourte- ous and ever ready to defend the cause of the peasants. Ministers like him and concede more to him than to any other private member.
 Quite recently the abbe went to Bor- deauX and paid a visit to the Secularist institutions Of the town. For this he was severely criticised by the "Nouvel- liste" of Bordeaux, and the Archbishop Coadjutor of Camarai has written to compliment the editor. The prelate de- nounces the abbe for having given
 grave scandal" adding that 1t was of no use admonishing him, for he was one of those who receive orders from no one, especially from the church. And monseigneur's letter finished with the words: Pity me for being his arch bishop"
 Meanwhile the abbe goes on un- ruffled. No one can accuse him of be- ing unorthodoX. If accommodation come to him one of these days. 1t will be for offending ecclesiastical disci- pline. But I think the bishops will prefer to leave him alone.
