NORWOOD FAVORS AMENDMEN
 NO. IA.

Former Attorney General Hal l.. Norwood has addressed a letter to Charles E. Taylor, Mayor of Little Rock and chairman Of the executive committee of the Greater Arkansas Association. in which he endorses the Municipal Bond Amendment Two years ago, while Attorney General Mr Norwood vigorously fought the amendment He states that the new proposed amendment is properly safe garded, and will prove highly bene- ficial to the people Mr Norwood states that if the bill was adopted by such majority as it was two years ago, with the objection it then con 'ained now removed, the amendment should be practically unanimously adopted
 Mf NorWood sites the constitutions Of all other Southern states, showing that they permit bond issues, and referring 10 the matter of permitting every voter to cast q ballot on bond issues, as specified in the proposed amendment. he states that this is just, for to limit the voting to the owners of the property effected would restrict the ballot to few. Mr NorWood states that the man who owns no property today may be the owner of much property in fiji teen years, while the man who today owns large tracts Of real estate. may own nothing at the end of that time. The bonds, when issued, will be dis tribHted over longer term Of years than this, and will permit all sorts of changes of conditions among the property owners so that no one man. or set of men, will have to bear the burden all the time.
 The writer Of this letter to Mayor Taylor is not the only man of promiz hence in Arkansas who opposed the measure two years ago, who is strong for it now All favored bond issues by cities, but all wanted them prop erly safeguarded The framers of the amendment now being submitted called into consultation several of the most prominent attorneys of Ar kansas and with their assistance pre- pared what is considered an ideal bill Mir Norwood says that the far mers ought to be even more strong for it than the town folks. for 1t is the first time the farmers have had chance to show their appreciation for the good things the town folks have done for them in the years past.

At the club the other night a member of the Seventh Regiment found himself the center of a group who were discussing the likelihood of an invasion of Mexico by the Ma tional Guard. Cheerful remarks about the penetrative powers of Mauser bull lets peppered about him. Every body had kindly suggestions to make-such for instance. as that medal neatly adjusted over each bullet hole would make him look as good as new. The victim took ii very well.

GREAT WATERWAY OPENED.

The Panama Canal was officially opened to traffic Saturday. Locally the event was celebrated with much enthusiasm. The progress of the steamship Ancon. 10000 tons regis ter, through the forty-one and one half miles of the canals length wa marked by elaborate ceremony, fn- cluding the display of the flags of all nations. The official international eel ebration, however. will not take place until next spring, all the maritime nations having accepted an invitation to participate in great naval dis play, if not otherwise engaged at the time This fact and the further fact that the crane La Valley passed un- officially from ocean to ocean on the 7th of last January and various boats and barges traversed the canal fol- lowing the sending of hte American fleet to Vera Cruz. divested Satur- days formal opening Of much of the interest il would have otherwise aroused But the fact that the canal is now open to the vessels Of war and commerce of all nations which will obey the rules laid down by Us in the Hay -Pauncef9te treaty is one of im portanee aside from cermeonies.
 The canal is admittedly the greatest engineering feat Of history and it was accomplished only through an equal feat in sanitation. The failure of De Lesseps, the builder of Suez, to repeat his success at Panama was due as much 10 pestilenee as to the other manifold difficulties The loss Of life was one of the greatest indus trial tragedies of history But Col G5rgas aad his assistants of the De- partmeat of Sanitation have trans. formed the Canal Zone into health resort During August of last year there was not a single death from disease among the 2,841 white Amer ican men, women and children on the isthmus. This would have been set work was started The work of Col. GiIlard on Culebra Cut and the gen eral efficiency of Col Geethals are a part of the imperish able record of American achievements
 While it is the expectations of Americans that the canal will be chiefly of commercial value. 1t must be admitted that the project is a re suit of patriotic concern in time of war But for the long trip Capt Clark made in the Oregon during the Span ish-Ameriean war, when 'he travelled on the heartstrings of 90.o00,0G0 Am eriean citizens, the building Of tae canal might have remained a dream for whose realization men like Grant and Seward and Blaine might have yainly sfriyen for generations. During Capt Glarkes trip the Ameri- can people formed the resolve to buiiC canal. even il it should cost $400,- 0oo o0Q, and should require the abro- gation of the doEfa-the=manger treaty with Great Britain | is a pc ealiar coincidence that=tbe canal is being formally opened at d time when a similar resolve is apparently being formed during a foreign var to build an American merchant marine The marine and the canal properly go to- gether Globe Democrat.

The Health of sehooIehildr.n.

The report for 1912 of the medical Of
ficer Of the British board Of education
has just been issued. 1t contains an
exhaustive account Of the measures
which are being taken turnout the coun-
try to safeguard the health Of school,
children. Uncleanliness still occupies
large share of the time and energy OF
the officers Of THE school medical ser
vice, but the returns show decided
and progressive improvement. and the
grosser forms of uncleanliness are now
rare as compared with the conditions
that prevailed when medical inspection
was institution in 1908. There are about
100000 children in the public element
airy schools. About 10 per cent suffer
from serious defects Of vision. Among
the causes given are heredity. early
eyestrain. defective lighting, infectious
diseases and neglect in obtaining early
medical advice. From to per cent
suffer from defective hearing; from
to 3 per cent have suppurating ears;
about 10 per cent have adenoids, in
canned tonsils or enlarged cervical
lymph modes requiring surgical treat
ment: l per cent have ringworm; l
per cent suffer from tuberculosis OF
readily recognizable form: from to 2
40 per cent have unclean heads or bod
les, and more than half the children are
in need of dental treatment.
In five directions school hygiene has
undergone evolution. There has been
work of medical inspection, and ancil-
laray undertakings. There is less
leakage" more following up and more
accurate clinical examinator. Sec
ondly. there is fuller differentiation of
abnormal children and tendency on
the part of authorities to modify the
school curriculum in their behalf. Much
time and labor are now being devoted
to mentally defective, tuberculous,
stammering and frail or retarded chill
dren. Thirdly, there has been an en-
largement of the conception Of the
sphere Of influence Of the school medl-
cal officers. Education authorities are
finding tAat tho they have beer APP
pointed in the first place merel1 to in
spect children, they may fill very use
full place in the educational system.
Fourthly. there has been q marked ad-
vance in respect to medical treatment
both in quality and in quantity. Lastly,
the in Intimate relation between school
hygiene and education is becoming rec
ogn.zed and its application under stood.
The equipment of the school. the char
acter of the teacher, the Importance OF
physical exercise and manual work, the
relation of the leaving child to the ma
tional insurance system. to industrial
employment to further education in sec
ondary schools. and to its own home
life. are now receiving attention. Thus
the school medical work and the issues
arising therefIom says the London cor
respondent of The Journal of the
American Medical Association. are be-
ginning to form an integral part Of
our educational system.
