Washington. y. c., Feb. I7.-From
every part of the country comes informa.
ton to the effect that general business
prospects in nearly al lines OF endeavor
continue TO brighten; and, strange AS Il,
may seem to some OF our Republican
friends the sun continues to rise and set
AS usual over States that are Democratic
for the first time in twenty years
The general understanding about the
Capitol is that the tentative tariff sched-
ues TO be reported to the incoming House
by the Ways and Means COMMITTEES OF
which Representative Underwood is
Chairman, will be pretty much along the
lines of the tarif-reyision measures that
were passed by the House last year. only
to have their teeth drawn by the Repub-
licap senate or to meet with Presidential
veto The tariff hearings which were
recently concluded furnished the Demo-
cratic leaders with mass of valuable

knee before the golden calf of Republi-
canism, and which has never failed To

ExaninePup
OF Whole Coun-
NJ edical Inspection of Orange
County Schools, Now in
Progress, Most Ex-
tensive on Record.

Richmond, a., feDruarY 10.
What is declared to be the
most extensive medical inspec-
ton of rural schools ever made
in America is being conducted
in Orange County, where Off
GERS of the State Boards of
Health and Education, with the
assistance of physicians from
the University of Virginia are
examining every child in the
public schools of Orange Coun-
ty.
This inspection, which is now
progressing rapidly, follows the
conference of school authori-
ties and experts held in Rich
mond in January when the
question of school medical in
spection was fully discussed.
! was then agreed that before
further steps could be taken in
planning medical inspection, it
was necessary to study local
conditions carefully and to as
certain, on a large scale, the
precise needs of the rura !
schools.
Accordingly, plans were
made for thorough inspection
of one county and Orange was
selected as most accessible To
the physicia at the Universe
" and to the officers with head
quarters in Richmond. The
State Bonrd of Health furnish
ed three inspectors, one from
the regular staff and two from
the bureau of Rural Sanitation,
while tn @ University Of
Virginia furnished two physi
clans for a part of the work
The State Department OF Pub
lie instruction aided in every
way possible and ELECTED the
hearty support of the Orange
County school authorities.
Reports Of the first weeks
inspection have been made in
tentative form by the Board Of
Health officers and are declared
TO he most valuable in their
bearing ON the general problem
of medical inspection. Said an
officer of the Board of Health
today, in discussing the work,
q" We believe that the investiga-
ton in Orange VIII be most
fruitful of good and will define
the future work of medical in
spection in our rural schools.
All authorities have felt that in
many parts of the country the
bad sanitation and poor con
struction of some of our schools
was a genuine menace to the
health of the children.
But here in Virginia, we have
felt that we should not begin a
propaganda for any definite
line of reform until we are Ger.
tain of our needs. We do not
want to recommend any system
Of inspection which is not JUS
titled by actual investigation
and we do not feel that we
should ask for public support
until we have shown the effect
of existing b d conditions
These facts will certainly be
demonstrated by the inspection
IN Orange county, where every
pupil of the county is being
tested for defective vision and
hearing, for throat and nose
rouble, for organic disease and
for mental efficiency. The re-
results will make possible need
ed reforms

NOTED ECONOMIST ANALYZES
THE NEW CURRENCY MEASURE
Prof James Laurence LaughIn Famous Authority Banking
compIsh.

ondary, Is In high degree essential
to daily transactions The act makes
no change in our gold standard or IN
the greenbacks. Our present national
bank notes have been long admitted
to be unelastic, and these are to be
gradually replaced in twenty years
by a new kind of money called Fed
eral reserve notes. That these notes
may be properly elastic, not only au-
tomato expansion, but contraction. is
essential. Thus. while there is no
limit placed on their maximum
amount they can be expanded only In
proportion as picked short time COM
mercial paper Is taken by Federal re-
serve banks to the Federal reserve
board and exchanged for reserve
notes.
Thus they can be expanded only as
the transactions in goods are ex-
panded on which the .oommerc' al
paper is based. This is the only way
these notes originate. They cannot be
created and paid out bV the govern
ment for Its debts Thus they are es-
sentially bank notes. Their sa ETY.
is abundantiy secured not only by 100
per cent. of picked commercial paper.
but also by a gold reserve OF ~ per
cent and first lien on all the asse 8
of the respective reserve banks TAX
ing them out. II, however. the re-
serve banks should ever fail to re-
deem them-an almost impossible
cont!ngency-they would be redeemed
by the treasury of the United States.
Banking experience has long shown
that a note circulation cannot stay
out in excess II there is PROMPT and
immediate redemption. This Is fully
provided for at the reserve banks and
at the treasury. Moreover wheo In
the course of business. these new
notes come into the reserve banks,
they cannot pay out any but their
own notes. being obliged to send the
notes of other reserve banks home for
redemption. Thus the poss bill ties OF
undue expansion of note issues are
reduced 10 the minimum; wifi elas-
ITCHY Is secured. Expansion through
loans not based on sound transactions
Is the one thing to be watched The
new system can be successful ONLY by
careful scrutiny of loans II wisely
managed In this respect. the country
will have entered on new stage In
Its development of banking and cur
rency, and business will greatly profit
thereby.
