PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
Course Is Urged by DR.. H. J. Patter-
son, President Of Maryland
Agricultural College.

Compulsory physical examination upon
entrance to college was recommended
last night by DIR. II. j. Patterson, presi-
dent of the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege. at a meeting of the Washington
chapter of the school club at the New
Ebbitt.
Il believe in physical examinations that
will determine the fitness of the pros
pective student for athletic exercises. .
said DR.. Patterson. This would prevent
TO a great extent injuries that result
from participation by unit STUDENTS in
more strenuous games. 1 favor also a
system of physical culture in colleges
that will develop students physically as
well as mentally. II is hardly possible
20 train-the mind properly unless the
body keeps pace"
DR.. Patterson also said that he thought
the State of Maryland would be justified
in spending at least $1,000. 600 in develop
ing the Maryland Agricultural College.
These expenditures. he said, might be
extended over a period of from six to
eight years. Special training in indus
tries. such as canning, wcr- recommend
ed by Dr. Patterson. Experts in the
ed. he said. as it was claimed more
tomatoes. oysters, and crabs are canned
in that State than in any other.
The meeting was the second since the
formation OF the club. which is known
as the Maryland Agricultural College
Club. The organization was founded
hardly more than a month ago The last
meeting of the year will be held next
month. and during the summer plans
for the extensive organization will be
made

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
MEETING OPPOSITION
Several House Members Now Protest
Against Reducing the Number Of
Soldiers Homes Managers.

Several representatives with national
soldiers homes in their districts, yester
day began a determined fight on thai
part Of the sundry civil appropriations
bill which provides for the reduction oil
the number Of resident managers OF the
homes from eleven to five.
That section of the bill slipped through
the House unnoticed by the majority OF
the protesting members. II was ois-
covered in the Senate, however, and the
bill was amended SO as to leave tne
board as II now stands.
Conferees on the bill reported to the
House yesterday that they were unable
to agree with the Senats conferees on
this section, and a resolution was onered
calling on the conferees to stand by the
bin as II left the House.
Immediately there was protest from
Representatives Reed Of New Hampshire
McGillicudy of Maine, and OHair or Ill.,
nois They insisted that the cutting dow
Of the board in the manner suggested
would not he stroke of economy, for
the resident managers serve without sal
airy, being allowed only their expenses
for attending board meetings and inspect
inS the homes The claim of Representa-
tive Fitzgerald of New York, who is
fatnering the change, that he reduction
in numbers of members would facilitate
the work of the board they averred was
without merit
In behalf of leaving the board I'M
changed they offered the argument that
the residents of the homes will be served
better If one manager is assigned to each
State. as at present. This makes II pos
sible, II was pointed out. for the resi-
dent managers to keep in touch with the
homes in their respective States and thus
attend better TO tie needs of their SOL
diers.
1T is ridiculous Representative Reed
said. ito suppose that a few men In
New York, or some other big city. could
give as good service as We get under the
present system. / am unalterably op-
posed to the change"
Mai. j. d. Wadsworth. of New York,
now is president of the board. Four
present members sobn are to retire, and,
il the bill should pass in the form which
il left the House. two more members
would be retired. Wadsworth favors the
DrODoSed change.
