Senators viii Alternate.

Absence Of the presiding officer,
however, will give the senate no new
problem to solve. The bitter fight
over the election of a president pro
tenn ended at the last session in an
agreement to have Senator Gallinger,
New Hampshire, Republican, and Sen
ator Bacon, Georgia, Democrat, alter
nate in the chair. Just before con-
gress adjourned, Senator Bacon was
until Dec. 16, and the understanding
is the rotation with Senator Gallinger
will continue indefinitely.
No Precedents' Found.
No presidents were found covering
the situation of the withdrawal or
death of vice presidential nominee
before the November election mas
much as party procedure is not gov
erned by statute some of the parlia-
mentarians said the party had the
right to handle the situation in what
ever manner it pleased.
The opinion was expressed that this
would result in the national or execu-
i've COlllllIlSS SSISCtlHS d SUBSTITUTE
candidate and printing his name on the
ballot in states where the tickets have
not already been sent to the press.

Supervision In Schools.

DR.. Ernest B. Hoag spoke on med
ical supervision of schools. 1.-THE
public little appreciate how many of
our school pupils are in one way or
another defective, in sight, hearing or
otherwise" he said. Teachers make
mistake when these are not taken
into consideration. Proper medical
supervision is essential. 1t may reveal
to parents defects that can be rene
died to the permanent benefit of their
children. The state should look after
the physical as we'll as the mental and
moral welfare of the young. The
equipment of our schools, with our
teaching force could be rendered mani
foldly more valuable and serviceable
if the physical defects of the pupils
were known and remedied. Results of
thorough medical inspection could be
sent to a central Office and perma-
nent record kept and only in the case
Of poverty would the service of the
public physician be required"
