PARENTS OBJECT TO
MEDICAL EXAMINERS
Supt. Williams Deems Com.
pulsory Medical lnspec-
ton Inadvisable.

Compulsory medical inspection of
school children is not deemed advisa-
BILE now by Charles o. Williams. coun-
.ty superintendent. While Superinten-
dent Williams believes that the pres
ent system of inspecting the ears and
eyes of the pupils in the county
schools is good thing and brings
good results, he is opposed to compul-
sorry inspection, which has been advo-
Gated by some educators and school
health officers in the state.
At the present 1t seems to me that
it is an impossibility," said Supt Will
liams referring to the proposed COM
pulsory medical inspection. There
are cases where nothing could be &C
complished. However, 1 believe that
the time will come when some meth
cd may be worked out and placed in
practical use according to which the
inspection can be made compulsory.
Now take in the Wayne county
schools. If every student was inspect
ed by physicians, I believe it would
be shown that five per cent have tu-
berculosis. Now how would we man.
age condition like that. The parents
of a child who had tuberculosis would
not permit his child to be placed in
an especial school building where all
students, having this disease were
taught. The parents would believe and
could be cured, and that by placing
him with number of other tubercu-
lar pupils he found become worse.
Parents Object.
"a short time ago we introduced
the testing of eyes and ears by the
teachers of the county schools. The
test was easy to make. because blanks
prepared by the state board were dis
tributed to the teachers and the latter
obliged to fill them out after making
the test upon each pupil. But some
parents objected to this. They declar-
ed that they would attend to their
own children and some became a lit
tie peeved because of the test So
one can see what difficulties would
arise if medical inspection were COM
pulsory."
The county superintendent stated
that the school was originally meant
for mental development but that each
year new stunts" are being added.
IF some people had their way We
would have a dentist and a physician
in every school," the superintendent
asserted.

Commercial Courses and Do

expected. More than 400 men and wo.
men signified their intentions of at.
tending the sessions and were assign.
ed work in the various departments.
The courses of bookkeeping, steno.

popular. The book keeping depart.

Of them in return. Secretary Charles
Jordan, of the Commercial club and

in permitting night sessions, giving
the working men and women a chance
to increase their education.
The classes in sewing and cooking

Grand Jury Is Probing the
Alleged Illicit Sale Of
Liquor to Residents Of
Greensboro.
GENERAL CLEANUP
is IN PROGRESS
William Haworth, Fined SIS
and Costs in Police Court,
Was Before the Jury Yes
terday.

Alleged bootlegging in the little
village of Greensboro is being inves,
tigated this afternoon by the October
grand jury. Bootlegging, it is said, has
been in evidence in Greensboro for
some time and matters reached such
a stage that it was deemed advisable
to have the prosecutor bring the mat.
ter before the grand jury for Official
investigation.
Greensboro is dry village, but
during the past few months several
arrests have been made by the depu.
ty sheriff of that place, as we'll as
by the police of Richmond. According
to reports it is not infrequent that
persons can be seen staggering down
the streets of Greensboro, under the
influence of intoxicating liquor.
Yesterday William Haworth was be
fore the grand jury on this matter, ii
is said. This morning he was hailed
into police court on the charge of pub
lie intoxication. Haworth declared to
Mayor Zimmerman in police court
that there is no blind tigers in Greens
fork. Haworth admitted to the mayor
that he was "soused" but denied that
he secured the liquor in a store at
Greensboro. He said that his friends
had treated him to whisky.
Haworth was arrested last evening
at Greensboro by Deputy Sheriff
Hart. Haworth, it was said, was ere
ating a disturbance. The mayor fined
him S. and costs.
A General Cleanup.
A large number of Greensboro peo
pie were before the grand jury this
morning and this afternoon. When
asked whether the alleged bootleggins
was being probed, Prosecutor Allen
declared that they were investigating
everything in and about the town.
The recent Greensboro fire has
been probed, although nothing On any
of these matters will be made public
until the grand jury is ready to report
to the circuit court judge. The first
thing taken up by the October grand
jury was the William Thompson muir
der case. Minor cases have also been
investigated, it is understood.
1t is highly probable that the jury
will conclude it's work this afternoon
Prosecutor Allen stated that he be-
1ieved all investigation would be fin
ished today.
County buildings will not be looked
over at this time, the prosecutor said
This matter may be taken up some
time later, he added.

BELGRADE, Servia, Nov. ia
Servian army today occupied Durazzo,
the chief Albanian port on the Adriatic
Sea, according to private advices re-
ceived here.
Although the Servian government re-
fused to confirm this report the news
was generally accepted as true and
caused great rejoicing among the Bel
grade populace.
Austria has protested against Servia
securing any Adriatic ports, but the
Servian government Is showing by it's
determined attitude that it intends to
carry out it's program.
Belief is growing here that Aus
tria's aggressive diplomatic protests
against seizure of Adriatic territory
by Servia was chiefly for effect and
that Austria will be persuaded by the
powers to accept the verdict of a coun-
Gil of the powers as to Servia's terri
torial expansion after the campaign
ends.
Another Servian army is moving to-
ward DuraZzo and a coalition Montene-
grin column is moving southwark up
on Durazoo from Alessio although it's
progress has been retarded by deep
snow which has fallen throughout
Northern Albania.

AUSTRIA is AROUSED.

VIENNA, Nov. 13.-When news was
received here today that a Servian
army had occupied Durazzo on the
Adriatic Sea, new and dangerously
discordant note was struck in the dip
lomatic controversies growing out OF
the Balkan war. While advices today
were not official they caused a pro-
found stir in Austrian diplomatic cir
cles and the jingo element immediate
ly proclaimed that occupation of the
port would be casus belli unless Ser
via withdrew her soldiers or admitted
that Durazzo had been occupied only
for strategic purposes.
Austria is reported to be mobilizing
both her army and naval forces and
a naval demonstration in the Adriatic
is possible.
