The Irritating inelasticity Of the civil

administration OF the Massachusetts
State Bureau. Mr.. SEARS had already
started his work here. and was achiev-
ing satisfactory results, when the Civil
Service Commi sslon decided that his Job
must he filled through competitive ex-
animation. and prepared regulations to
govern the test.
Mr.. SEARS at once made ready to
prove his efficiency. and on Saturday he
offered his application for examination
to clerk Of the commission. To his
surprise that functionary refused to ac-
cept the application. When Mr.. SrARs
asked for an explanation he was IN.

In consequence OF IFS opinion OF his

applied. Moved by this consideration.
our school authorities appoint inspec-
tors and nurses to guard the health Ut
the pupils rs the most effective and
economical method OF preventing disa
bilites and their certain damage to
future economic efficiency.
The medical school inspector exam
ines each child. notes its defects on a
card which is given to the nurse. The
latter notifies the parent. and n a sec
ond notice remains disregarded visits
the home and in a friendly manner
urges attention and procures It with
the parents consent in the school clinic
If necessary. Last year Ss5,577 school
children were registered. Of whom only
81 per cent. could be examined and %
per cent. treated because, forsoOth. the
department Of welfare lacked funds.
There were only 1871 officers to care for
IA schools scattered over an area OF
800 square miles. That dire results
must ensue from such incNcusable par
simony is clearly demonstrated by the
fact that among one-third of the school
children there were discovered 10000
physical defects, most OF which were
of n remedial type. among them 800 Of
lung trouble. 10000 OF tonsils, $500 Of
heart troubles. &c.
The additional amount asked for,
$40. 400. appears insignificant In view
OF the fact that last year 1s9. $40 chill
dren failed of promotion: 10 reeducal e

Aside from the financial considera-
lions, 1t has been demonstrated that the
visiting school nurses. coming into in
innate contact with the plain people,
present an avenue for the dissemina-

cal. mental and moral status OF the
handicapped which will prove OF meal

Should the Hon. THOMAS Morn Os-

Mr.. OSBORNE has definite notions about
how prison should be run. but he
would find Sing Sing a difficult place
TO put them to the test. II Is over

there Is no reason why the effort should
not be made: It ought 10 be made and
II may be that Mr.. OSBORNE II the man
to make it with some hope of success.
or one thing the inmates of Sing Sing
and the public will feel sure. If Mr.,
OSBORNE goes 10 the prison he will not
create condition there worse than that
which already exists
