The CrOw'S-Nest

One of the larger Iowa cities is agi
tating the question of employing visit
ing nurses for their schools. A doctor
member of the school board addressed
a public meeting on the subject a few
nights ago. 1t is a source of pride the
Brookings city schools have taken the
lead in such matters and have had
trained nurse looking after the health
of the pupils in the grades for nearly
a year and a half. She spends three
afternoons a week during the school
year caring for the health and proper
physical development of the children,
watching for eye, ear, nose and throat
defects, the lack of hygenic care and
indications of contagious. In cas of
physical defects that are durable, or
that can be remedied, she makes a pre-
liminary examination and recommends
a consultation with the family doctor.
She also gives physical drills to all the
grade pupils and looks after their
proper physical development. Patrons
of the school will testify as to the salu-
tary effect of such supervision and
would not dispense with the service
under any circumstances. 1t works
better in places where it has beer tried
than the practice of having physician
inspectors. Our schools may extend
the service another year.
One of the penalties a town pays for
being advertised as a good business
point is that of having an thrush not
only of legitimate business represen-
~tatives but of persons with all kinds
of moneymaking schemes. Scarcely
a week passes but what we have stock
selling agents and every kind Of
schemes for taking money out of town
instead of investments for the upbuild-
ing of our own community. The very
latest is that of a young fellow who
wants to stage a playlet in town with
home talent for the cast. He is will
ing to do it on a percentage basis, of
course, the larger the better for him,
not the home talent. The latter would
have the experience which would be
of little value to them except a little
transient publicity and the manager
would carry the profits away with him.
Parcels post is getting to be quite an
accommodating institution. Several
young couples in the city received
their Thanksgiving turkeys from their
home folks on the farm this year
through the post office.

to be regretted that in the matter OF

only interest in them is that of back

may eventually injure the whole sys

Brand made his living out Of the

apartment on the Drive that he used

and $4,000 residence on the north
shore Of the Sound. Mrs. Brand had

He could take his chances. He would
understand that; but II he won ne
might return the favor.
Well, Brand had won. He had won
$150,O00. and so we find him at least
not groveling.
His quick response to a knock at the
door brought his secretary.
"A gentleman to see you," said that
menial. "A MI Meade"

Now, ordinarily Brand would not

more. But we have said that he was

 AFTER BIG RALLY
Boys Set Fine Example of How to Keep Park Clean, Doing Work
 We'll in Five Minutes.

New York, June 26.-The boys who took part in the third annual rally of the New York council of Boys Scouts of America in Central park set a fine example of how to keep park clean. As is the custom when they use a public place for meeting or drilling, they ended their exercises by forming a line. sweeping across the meadows, and picking up every scrap of paper and trash. It took only five minutes, and when it was done the park was as clean as when they began their drill.
 While the Scouts were executing their drills, a messenger boy ran to the grand stand and presented to the national president, MT. Livingstone, message from the Queen AleXandra's rally of 10000 Boy Scouts in London, with greetings to their American brethren. MT. Livingston replied, thanking them for the greeting and expressing hope that big English and American rally would soon be ar ranged for.
