The subject of DR.. Hutchinson's address
was 1.-The Importance of Negative Eu-

said that heredity is responsible for a
large proportion of the insanity, feeble

the use Of alcohol arc the ones who pro-
duce the largest number Of mentally de-

FURNITURE VANS HELD UP

Several loads of school furniture and a
piano stuck in the mud on the approa CHI
to the Randle Highlands School made it
necessary today for the public school
system to make the one change which
mars the otherwise beautiful smoothness
of the opening of schools Monday. Ran
die Highlands pupils will have to go to
the portable schoolhouse in Twining
City Monday, as the desks and chairs and
piano are still waiting for the mud to
subside.
The Randle Highlands School was one
Of the four schools which would receive
new furniture for the opening of the
term. 1t Is a new school and very hand
some one. School officials and the Com
missioners took considerable interest in
its planning and building; but somehow
or other. it was discovered only a few
days ago that in all the planning and an
school no one had thought to mention
water or gas to the engineer department
Of the District of Columbia.
Consequently there was no gas: no
water.
The Commissioners We're finally spoken
TO on the matter, and they sent a gang
OF very active workmen over to the
school few days ago. With picks and
shovels they went at the streets of
Randi Highlands as II Col Goethals in
tended to drive a new canal through that
section. The gas was turned into the
school and the water gang worked with
