GREAT SWIMMING RACE
To Be Arranged Between Daniels
and the Hawaiian.

NEW YORK, December 16.-No item
OF swimming news has in years created
such a stir in aquatic circles as the re-
port that match race at 100 yards
would take place this season between
c. NJ Daniels, the idol of American
water men. and Duke Kahananoku, the
Olympic 10O-meter champion and record
holder.
Ever since the lanky Hawaiian broke
into the limeiight about "a year ago,
Followers of natation in this country
have been eager to see him ptted
against the great Mercury foot paddler,
whom they still looked upon as undefeat-
able. Unfortunately, Daniels had al
ready announced his permanent retire
ment from the competitive field. for his
many business and social engagements
no longer permitted his training, and he
refused to reconsider his decision. 1t
looks now. however, as if the meeting
would be arranged.

ere are many things to be con>id-

that long staple brings an extra n

r. the next p ace, it may be that
long staple is not so prolific III yie.d
and is more expensive to raise
Then again, we are told that the

selection Of seed and conditions are
not just right Next, if the crop is
generally long staple. of course the
law Of supply and demand comes in,
and the price falls off.
All these things have to be consid-

fact before US that Mr. Davis got

EXAMINATIONS
FOR CHILDREN
School Board and Supt. G. W. Spoerry
Make Move in Right
Direction.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION URGED
Patrons Of City School Requested to
Support Movement.

The trustees of the Bonners
Ferry school have arranged for
free medical examination of the
pupils in this school. Examina-
tons will be made by competant
physician at least once during the
school term and oftener if necessary,
Many children are Handicapped in
their school work by some slight
defect in their general health or
sight or hearing. This might be
easily corrected and save the child
from illness or loss of time at
school. However such examina-
lions are not compulsory ard no
child will be examined without
their parents knowledge and con-
sent.
This is not an experimental idea
of the boards, but a step in the
right direction, which was brought
about by a study of like conditions
found in the schools thruopt the
country. 1t will give the pupils of
the school every possible advantage
In their studies for the teacher to
be informed as to general health
of the child and especially any
physical defects that might EXISTS.
The only way to secure this is to
have a physician visit the school
at regular intervals and thru the
assistance of the parents and
teachers he will be able to detect
any disease at the first symptoms.
Sixty percent of the cities now
have medical examination in their
public schools and it will only be
short time until such examinations
will be made COMPULSORY. The
support of all the patrons Of the
school should be given to what Is
being done to protect the health OF
the boys and girls.
