DEFECTIVE CHILDREN.

Of the 2o.0Oe.ooo school children in fhis country. not less than T5 psr cent. need attention to-day for physical defects which are prejudiciaI to health and 4hich are partially or complete Iy remediable.' This is the finding of rw. Thomas D. Wood. professor of physical education in the Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, and published for free distribu- Eion by the United States Bureau of Education.
 Careful study of statistics and es- fimation of all conditions. leads to the following personal conclusions '' writes Dr. Wood:
 From 111 to 8 per cent. or 100000, Of these have organic heart disease
 Probably per cent, 100000 at Eeast, have now or have had tubercu- Ious disease of the lungs ,f About 5 per cent, or 1,ooo,Ooo, have spinal curvature. flat foot, or some other moderate deformity serious enough to interfere to some degree with health.
 9over- per cent. or 100000. have defsctfve hearing. asss5 kd3 ni
 About s per cent, or 5,ooO,Ooo. have defective vision
 
 About s per cent, or 50O0.0oO, are suffering from mal-nutrition, in many cases due in part at least to one or more of the other defects epunerated.
 ''over 90 per eentso6fi6 Q, coo, ,0oo,l have enlarged tonsils. adenoids, Or enlarg. ed cervical glands which need atten- ton.
 eOver 50 per cent, or 10000, 900 Gin some schools as high as ss per cent.) have defective teeth which are inter- fering with health.
 Several millions of the children pos sess, each, two or more of the laandi- espping defects.
 About 100 cities in the United States have as many different kinds of or ganizations for the care of health in The schools.
 The most important of all our na- tional resources is the health of the people. The most valuable asset in Dur capital of national vitality is the health of the children.
 Public education is the logical, the Htrategic. and the responsible agency of the Nation, of each State, and of each State, and of each community tor the conservation and enhance rnent of child health.
 'sro become an effective instrument Tor the protection and promotion of child health, it is essential that the school should not only be a sanitary, laealthful place for children, but that the various agencies in public educa- lion should be so organized that each pupil may be given the best possible opportunity to escape weakness and disease and far more to realize the at- sainable best in growth, in develop nent of biologic, intellectual. moral, social. and economic power"

Is Condemned by the. Mem

At the. African Methodist EptSeo-

tuition offered cred, by the Rev. W., ".
Maybe was unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That We, the African
Methodist Episcopal church in con
ference assembled, do vigorously
condemn the almost universal prac-
.tioe of lynching. This fair land of
ours, from the gulf to the lakes, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific is from
time to time the scene of horror
when angry mobs disgrace the con
stitution, defy the law and hang
men at their will. We especially
condone the fact that our own be-
loved state was dlsgraced by a
lynching at Princeton, Mercer coun-
ty, September S, and from all evil
dence at hand, it is believed that the
victim was an innocent party.
We note with deep grief. that the
special grand jury empanelled by
order of the governor under Judge
Maynard OF the criminal court, to
investigate the lynching, has ad-
journed without finding a single in
dictment against any member OF the
mob,

Gigantic and unparalleled plumb
ing operations to plug leaks in the
bed of the river Danube form the
subject OF a controversy between
the governments of Baden and
Wurtenberg, whihh has Just been
appealed to the Imeperial Bundesrat
for settlement. The case attracts
attention to the curious and almost
unknown geographical fact that
branch of the Danube flows into the
Rhine and thus finally reaches the
North Sea, thousands of miles
from the Black Sea, where the main
course of the Danube ends.
For some two or three hundred
years part of the Danube has been
passing through a subterranean
channel from the vicinity OF the lit
tie town of Immendingen, in Baden
emerging again in the valley Of the
River Aach, some seven miles dis
tant, where it forms the largest
spring in Germany. The source OF
the spring wa sdefnitely established
some years ago by artificially dis
coloring the water OF the Danube
above Immendigen. In recent years
the phenomenon has become in
creasingly serious for the towns "
ing on the Danube in Wurttenberg
which are dependent upon it for
water power, because the leakage 10
steadily growing in quantity.
Wurttemberg is attempting to as
sert its old water rights, while Ba'
den is disclaiming responsibility
on the ground that the leakage is a
phenomenon of nature, the latter
country having deep interest IN
letting nature have her way, mas
much as numerous manufacturing
establishments depending on the
running waters of the Danube have
sprung up in the valley of the
Aach.
Civil engineers propose to settle
the problem by carrying a surface
from the Danube to I've
Aach and building several dams on
the upper course of the latter to de-
Velop electrical power. The holes
in the bed OF the Danube would
then be filled with cement, the totai
cost of the operation being eslI'
mated at not much more than ST.
