U. S. REPORT ON SCHOOLS.
Bureau of Education Issues Bulletin
on ChiIdren's Hygiene.

Should lunches be provided by the pub
lie schools? Shall the open-air classroom
replace the closed room? Should school
janitors be trained sanitarians? Do we
need dental clinics for all school children?
These are a few of the many phases of
health supervision discussed in a bulletin
on schoo- hygiene just issued by the
United States Bureau of Education.
The bulletin is a report of a recent in
ternational congress of school hygiene.
and, therefore, practically amounts to
symposium on health matters by leading
physicians and educators The work OF
the dental clinics in Philadelphia, Hart
ford, Boston. Cincinnati Cleveland, and
other cities; treatment of children's eyes;
the spread Of the movement for mental
classification of children; effects of ath-

Washington April 5.--The new tar
lift bill underwent a careful examina-
tion today at the hands of the mem
bers of the senate finance committee.
Although the anti-free sugar forces
from Louisiana and other cane and
beet sugar states are making an effort
to rally enough strength to defeat the
Presidents compromise plan, the SEN
ate leaders are analyzing all the con-
tested parts of the bill, the purpose
being to tell the president tomorrow
whether the leaders can accept the
change. r,t.,a ... ..
The action of Chairman Underwood,
of the ways and means committee, in
turning the committees bill over to
the senate for examination, was al
most unprecedented in the tariffs his
tory. 1t is claimed.
The senate leaders insisted they
should be consulted in the preparation
of the tariff revision and the president
made efforts to bring the senate,
house and White House into accord
on the bill before the measure is in-
troduced. ~a'
Although the house tariff makers
have exercised their constitutional
rights to prepare the bill, the propos-
ed law will be made satisfactory to the
president and senate, 1t is believed, be-
fore its introduction.
Indications are today that the presi-
dents compromise plan on the sugar
tariff will be accepted finally in the
senate. His idea to reduce the pres
ent duty Of 1.S4 cents per yound on
Cuban sugar to cent on Cuban sugar
was allowed to enter at 20go less
duty than on sugar from other colln-
tries. At the end of three years 1t is
proposed to admit all sugar free.

Absence Of Mrs. Champ Clark
Caused Comment

Washington, April 5.--The society
women of Washington to the number
of 900 today welcomed at a formal
breakfast the wives OF President Will
son, Vice President Marshall and the
members of the Wilson cabinet.
The elimination of wine from the
menu was the result of "a campaign
which caused feelings to run high,
Members Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, who occupied one
table at the affair. were active in the
campaign:
Although $50 were present at the
breakfast at least that many were not
invited, and today are in a disturbed
frame of mind.
Originally the breakfast was to have
been exclusively for the democratic
women but the plans were changed,
and as a result, scores Of women,
whose husbands are in the councils
Of the democratic party, were left OF
the list as the accommodations were
limited.
Another innovation was the total
absence of speeches, the only thing
being an illustrated lecture on the
White House furniture by Mrs. Abbie
Gum Baker. Because of previous
engagement, Mrs. Champ Clark was
not present, a fact which caused con-
siderable comment.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Governor Ammons worked
late in considering the remaining ap
preparation bills and disposed of near
ly all of them. Most of the bills were
trimmed. At the beginning of his ad-
ministration he declared that he
would sign no bills unless there was
revenue in sight to pay them.
1t is the intention Of the chief exc
cutive to stick to this rule.
To come, within his estimate Of the
revenues, Governor Ammons trimmed
all of the appropriation bills pre-
sented.,

enue for the ensuing biennial period
will aggregate $2.90O.0O0. Appropria-
tion bills approved amount to $2,S65,-
$50, and the Gunnison Normal and the

nance from $145,00O to $4,000, and

Forty thousand dollars for buying
additional farm lands was disap-
proved; also $17.5OO for new laun-
dry. $4,000 for moving cottages to
the land which 1t was proposed to
buy, and cut the item of $4,000 for
laundry equipment to $1,000; $4,000
for interchangeable plant.
