AN OFFENSIVE 1T NOT 4 scan
DAL0JS BILL.

Vi recent years, III The name OF
education, there have been intro
duced in the public schools Of the
State innovations which have not
contributed 10 the material pro
gressiveness of the pupils, Against
these novelties parents have urged
their protests in vain, but these in
novations, if detracting from the
substantial basis of what is called
education, are harmless and do not
impair good morals.
ia the Legislature Of Louisiana
there is pending a bill providing
medical Inspection Of pupils in the
schools.
The inspection is to include the
teeth, the ear, the sight, the mouth
and other physical examinations OF
The pupils irrespective of their sex.
As the great majority Of the PEG
pie are busy attending their every
day duties and obligations, little at
tention has been given to this limo
Walton, but which, as il is being I'm
derstood, is areusing not only a Wig
ofous criticism but a resentment OF
indignation on the part Of parents
OF pupils enfollable in the public
schools of the State.
Under the pretense of physical
examination, it would be possible
for the examiners TO require, if not
compel, the pupils to be disrobed
and stripped, which, to say the
least, in the very thought of it is
monstrous.
This proposed physical eXamina
ton would not be confined to boys,
but girls attending the school would
have TO yield TO this outrage or be
barred from the school.
In justification of this proposed
medical inspection, State Superin-
PENDENT Harris attempts lame and
ridiculous explanation in the par
agraph quoted:
IT is just as essential to remedy
defects in the body and to. train i'll
properly as to remedy defects in the
mind and train the child mentally
and spiritually, and to say that the
examinations necessary to locate
and ascertain the typical ailments
of children would submit the girls
in the schools to humiliation and
shame is a gross and unjust reflec-
ton upon the medical profession"
But why such an examination?
The public schools, conducted and
maintained by the taxpayers, are
not medical censervatnries nor
places where the physical defects Of
the pupils are to be developed, and
therefore the proposed bin is sim
ply intended as prelense to war
rant the physical examination,
which, if necessary, should be left
to the family physician at the home
and in the presence of some of the
parents of the pupils TO be exam
med.
What freaks and nonsensieal feat
tres and innovations have been in
froduced in the name of progressive
educationl
II is surprising that the bill has
been given a standing in the Legis
ature. 1t is a monstrosity and
should be defeated as it will be.

Where Marriage Is Lottery In Fact.
The lottery for wife which takes
place annually at Smolensk has been
successful this year. all the tickets hav-
ing been bought. The promoters Of
the lottery select the young woman
who has to be drawn for. She is then
ordered to remain constantly at home
for ten days to receive the visits of
candidates for her hand. The sale of
5000 tickets at a ruble each is con
trolled by the municipal council As
soon az they are sold the lottery takes
place, and the winner has the right to
marry the young woman and her for
tune of 5000 rubles, She can, how
ever, refuse the man who has drawn
the lucky number. In this case she
has to divide her fortune with him
