HOWARD VI. SMITH, Secretary and
SCHOOL BOARD
MEETS TONIGHT. =

The regular monthly meeting of
the City School Board will be held
tonight, and as was announced at the
meeting in September, resolutions
will be introduced which, If adopted
will practically exclude all children
of non-residents except such as pay
tuition fee which will be fixed by the
board.
Resolutions prescribing these sates
will also be introduced.
II is alleged that some cl;!dren
whose parents reside outside OF
of Alexandria are enjoying the bene'
fits of our public schools. They have,
it is claaned, obtained permits in va
rious ways. Some have relatives in
Alexandria to appear as guardians
and others are children of persons
who own real estate in Alexandra
and obtain licenses for conducting
business in this city. Some members
Of The board are convinced that the
formulation of the rule which allows
the children of such persons to en-
ter our public schools was an lnwisc
procedure, and the resolutions which
will be introduced tonight rcsclif
that rule.
As is known, ;hc :choo| board wd'
compelled to elect an additional
teacher to meet the demands upon
the system The schools during late
wears have been overcrowded, and
as TO the expense Of maintainIns tn:
ppblic instruction in AlexandriS IS
growing all the time, some o. the
trustees think the time has come
when they should look after the in
tcrcsts of only such children rs are
entitled to enter the schools.

VITAL STATISTICS
Record for Twelve Months Tabulated
For Annual Report Of State
Board Of Health

Richmond, Va, Oct. 2.-(Special)
AS part of its report for the fiscal
year ending yesterday, the State
Board of Health will soon forward
to Governor Mann the first twelve
months vital statistics ever compiled
in Virginia in accordance with the
standard set by the United States
Census. q. :
Operating under the law passed py
the General Assembly in fSl2,a the
Board began the collection Of birth
and death records in July. f9I2 and
has now completed and filei the rec
erds for fourteen months, twelve OF
which have been tabulated.
Prior to 1898, it is pointed out
births and deaths WERE roughly reg
ported by commissioners of revenue
AS a part of their annual return to
the auditor The reports, which were
recently transferred by the Auditor
Co the State Library, are on long To-

| lios and are not accompanied by med
ical statistics as to the cause Of death.
incomplete as these reports are, they
furnish the. only records from 1860
to 1893. From 1893 to 1912 the State
has no records of any sort relating
to- births and deaths, beyond the Ger
tifcates kept in few of the cities
and in one or two counties
While the Board has not yet given
out the detailed statement of the
number of births and deaths from
EpreVentable disease, it is understood
/ that the showing for the year is re-
garded as most satisfactory and
that health officers, are ENCOURAGED
to believe that within another II
months at least 80 per cent. of all
vital statistics will be duly filed for
safe keeping in the archives of the
State.
It is announced that the most strik-
ing fact disclosed by the tables pre-
pared for it's annual report to the
Board, is the marked difference be-
tween the registration in the counties
and in the cities. In rural Virginia,
the return of births, while not COM
plete, is relatively full, but in the
cities hundreds of births, among the
colored population are not reported.
On the other hand, the death certi-
fcates forwarded by city health Of
fccrs include practically every death
that occurs.
"The statistics to be included in
our report" said an officer of the
Board today, "will not of course be
given out until they have been pre-
scntcd to the Governor. AS soon as
the report is released for publication,
however, we expect its statistics will
be of extreme interest to the public.
Some of the statistics arc alarming
in the extreme and show heavy NOR
tality from diseases that we do not
think had assumed such proportions.
But the mortality rate for some 9TH
or communicable disease is most en-
couraging.
"Too much praise cannot be given
the local registrars of births and
deaths, for without their cooperation
and enthusiastic support VIC could
not have gathered the thousands of
certificates now on file. The assistant
registrar of vital statistics, DR.. w. A.
Picker, has also done most excellent
service in directing the work.

Dentistry Laws Of Old Rome.

Under the laws of the twelve to-
bles, written in Rome. $50 B. c., whils
it was expressly forbidden to bury
gold ornaments with the dead. a spe-
cial exception was made for gold with
which teeth may be held together.
Martial, one of the satiric poets OF
Rome, once referred to the teeth of
one woman as dark. and another 40
white, and explained the difference
with the statement that one Of them
bought her teeth, while the other had
her own. The transportation Of teeth
from the mouths of slaves into Ghosa
Of their mistresses is said to have
been a common practice in the early
days Of the Roman Empire.
