Medical Inspection of Schools
By DR.. w. E. Bray.

definitely shown. yet progress
along this line has been rather
slow. The object of Shis letter
is to call attention to the pur.
pose of such inspection and the
need for it in our state. From
ancient times. the development
of the body, as we'll as Of the
mind, has been held up as an
ideal. A sound body should be
secured as a foundation upon
which to build the intellectual
and spiritual being; indeed, it is
necessary for the proper devel.
opment of the mind and heart.
A large percent of criminals and
of the mentally unfit have been
shown to be unfit and defective
in body.
The school has charge of the
individuals during the palstic
period of life, and above any
other influence, is responsible
for the moulding of the form and
character which will determine
the fitness for life's work, and
make possible the fullest enjoy.
menu of ones powers. The re-
sponsibility of the schools for
the proper ply ysical develop
ment is no less than that for the
mental development: this is gen.
orally felt and is implied IN the
fac9 that schools are encourag-
ing athletics.
The object of medical lnspec-
ton of schools is to furnish a
scientific basis for the improve
ment of the body. 1t aims at an
early recognition of defects, such
as poor eye sight, bad hearing,
obstruction to breathing, and at
an early recognition Of the CON-
municable diseases with a view
of preventing their spread, 1t
aims to teach personal hygiene
and sanitation of the school
houses and grounds. The school
should be model in sanitation,
and there should be some sys.
tematic method of finding out
who is defective so that the de-
fects could be corrected and the
child given a better chance.
Many children who fail in their
studies. are backward because of
bad eyeslght or bad hearing.
The Importance of medical IN
spection is seen when we con-
slider the fact that 85 percent of
school children are defective,
and the correction of these de
fects. IS possible in every case.
Recent work shows that the
country child is less healthy than
the city child. contrary to com
mon belief, just as typhoid fever
is now considered a rural dis
ease. The result of inspection
IN one county in one of the
southern states showed that 27
percent of the school children
has defective eyes, 10 per cent
had defects of the ear, so per-
cent had defects of the teeth,
35 per cent had enlarged tom
sils and adepoids, 25 percent
were poorly nourisned, and 80
percent were anemlc.
We are essentially country
people in Mississippi. What is
being done towards the medical
inspection of schools in our
state? Now that the one room
country school is giving way to
consolidated school, the time
seems to be ripe for organlza-
ton IN such school districts for

The committee divided the county in
to four sections which are to be super
vised by the members of the commit
tee as follows: Districts l, ID and Is by
Wyatt Wilkinson ESQ.,; 2, 8, 4, by j.
A. johnson, 6, Z, s, by j. A. Weber,
10, IL, IL. 10 by T. H. Griffin.
Last year the supervising was done
by the district commissioners and the
court directed that the committee do
this work this year, this method having
proven more satisfactory in former
years than when done b. district COM
missioners.
The contracts signed by the contrac-
tors are the same as those used last
year and call for the use of the King
drag. The committee called particular
attention of contractors to this feature
of their contracts and warned them
that this provision must not be neglect
ed or disregarded. A number Of the
contractors had them pay cut last year
because Of neglecting this provision and
the warning given now at the beginning
of the year is timely.
There can be no denying that the
roads of several districts were splendid
~ worked last year, The unusual
weather of the present winter has
made most Of them bad, but this does
not refute the fact that q number of
the contractors did their full duty and
had their roads in good shape at the
closeof the fall. We are just hoping
all will do that this year.

Try This For Neuralgia.

Thousands of people keep on suffer
ing with Neuralgia because they do
not know what to do for it. Neuralgia
is pain in the nerves. What you
want to do is to soothe the nerve itself.
Apply Sloan's Liniment to the surface
over the painful part-do not rub it in.
Sloan's Liniment penetrates very quick
ly to the sore, irritated nerve and allays
the inflammation. Get a bottle Of
Sloan's Liniment for rs cents of any
druggist and have it in the house
against Colds, Sore and Swollen Joints,
Lumbago, Sciatica and like ailments.
Your money back if not satisfied, but
it does give almost instant relief. 81

The management Of the agricultural
department Of this state was handled
in an eminently satisfactory and eff
ficient manner by T. F. Peck and credit
should be given him for his splendid
service. The department was never
before as free from political bias as
during the years of his tenure. His
appointess were largely taken from his
own republican party, of course, but
the way in which he handled the BUSH
ness of his Office was such that it
brought splendid results to the state
and its farmers. And we can only
hlpe that the new administration will
hand the work over at the close of
Capt. Peck's term into the hands Of
one as efficient who will give his efforts
as completely to the good of the de-
partment as he has done.

We agree with the Commercial
Appeal that there are now laws enough
il they were only enforced, but we do
not agree that more laws are useless in
enforcing those already on the statute
books. In fact most of the laws we
have are directed against the citizen
who dares go contrary to their direc-
ton, but the laws that our contempor-
airy objects to are laws directed against
law-violating officials, that is officialf
who have shown an unwillingness to do
their sworn duty in enforcing laws to
which they were personally opposed.
Personal opposition should have no
effect whatever in the conduct of an
official. but instead he should have but
one guide, that the laws as written. II
q citizen violates the law he should
suffer punishment, and no less should
the refractory official suffer punish
ment when he ignores duties he has
sworn to perform.

The recent rise in the price of cotton
may prove blessing to the farmers of
the south, but it is more likely to prove
a menace. The cotton is now gone
from the hands Of the farmers, there
being but small part of the 1914 crop
now held by them. More farmers than
usual have held cotton, but even then
the cotton now in the hands of the far
mer is but small fraction Of the crop
grown last year. This being true only
q few farmers can benefit by the recent
rise in price. On the other hand. IL
cotton continues around eight cents
per pound or goes above that price
about planting time, then the good re-
solutions about reducing the acreage
viii 20 upin smoke and the crop Of
1915 will be as large as the last one.
This would be calamity and would
place the southern farmer again at the
mercy Of the cotton mills and their
representatives: Cotton is selling in
Germany today around twenty cents
per pound. but how does that help the
cotton. grower? The mills fix the
price and they have taken advantage
Of circumstances to reduce the price
until the bulk Of the crop is gone from
the farmer. 1t is to be hoped that
the farmers will not be led to
increase their acreage by the increased
price now offered.

CHE CROUCH.

The Great Creator in His wisdom
created many men of many minds and
temperaments knowing that if the sons
of men were alike in wishes and desires
it would lead to unending strife.
He created well, for man is the
noblest work of God. But in some way
there crept into the world creature
God did not create-a thing self-made,
be it male or female, that is hated.
despised and abhorred; thing self
created, self-pitied and abnormally self
loved.
This self-created creature is the
chronic crouch that walks here and
there in every town and community
searching for happiness that he may
destroy it. Flowers and children, be-
cause they represent beauty and love,
he detests. He reads as he runs that
all men are liars and all women but
creatures Of evil.
In summer he reviles the bright sun
shine and hates the green hills. In
winter he reviles the cleansing snow
and the purifying frost. The bitter
ness of gall and NORWOOD is within his
heart.
Children fee from him and bis wife
can be cIsssed among the martyrs.
Men shun him and the world hates him.
From an early age he walks this earth
spreading unhappiness and unbelief-a
maker of evil and discord.
Let us throw the Array of self-ex-
animation into our own hearts and
search out the little microbe that has q
tendency to multiply and produce, in
time, the hated Crouch. There is too
much love and sunshine in this old
world of ours to spoil it with the cank-
er of sel6shness. Selected.

GOOD CRUTHS.

What am saying upon this question,
therefore, has no partisan significance.
All parties have been guilty and every
body knows it. Republican and Dem
ocratic primary elections have both
been rotten alike. County Offices are
bought and paid for like any legally
marketable commodity. In practically
every county in the state the cor
ruptible vote holds the balance of pow
er. Thousands of men never vote ex-
cept when paid, and they will leave the
polling places without voting, if they
are not paid. Thousands of men place
no value upon the right of suffrage ex-
cept the price for which it may be sold.
These conditions have reached the point
in Tennessee that men who are other
wise perfectly respectable and honor
able citizens will purchase votes or con-
tribute money for the purpose. 1t has
grown to be regarded as part OF the
game of politics, as fair for one side as
the other. Men will buy votes who
would resent with physical violence an
offer to purchase their own votes, and
who would scorn to stuff ballot box
or falsifya return.
1t is true that Tennessee has drastic
law for punishment of bribery in cleo
tions, but it is no where enforced
Why not? Because both sides are
guilty alike, and neither will back a
prosecution. the result of which means
q term in the penitentiary. Further
more. very considerable portion of
the judges and attorneys.general know
that bribery was practiced in their
own elections.

The above is taken from Gov. Hoop
er's recent message to the legislature
and is sound truth. 1t is doubtful If a
single county in the state is not guilty.
The governor recommends the passage
of law which takes away the fran
chise from any voter who buys or sells
a vote or otherwise debauches the cleo
tions of the state. The recommended
ton is a good one and one the legisla-
ture would do we'll to enact.

No sufficient reason has been ad-
vsnced, as far as we have seen. why
the present legislature should sppro-
pirate from an already depleted
treasury large sums of money for the
State Fair or any other fair. We
heartily endorse these institutions and
there is no doubt about their doing !
great work. but they should be promot.

GOOD THING.

The Industrial department Of the N.
X. at. reports that through the efforts
Of Fred L. Wenner, Secretary of the
Commercial Club, andJ A. Farquharson
County Farm Agent for Logan County,
monthly sale day for farmers has
been inaugurated at Guthrie, Oklahoma.
A unique feature is the provision for q
sale day for farm women.
The following account of the first
sale day is given in Mr.. Farquharson's
weekly report:
To-day was the first monthly sales
day Of farm products. 1t was a great
success. Notwithstanding the very dis
agreeable weather the farmers were
out in great Numbers and had for sale
on the auction corner every thing from
an old scythe blade to fine pedigreed
stock. Horses. cattle, hogs and farm
implements all sold at very satisfactory
prices, and changed hands from the
man who did not need them to the one
who did. Every thing had to be guar
anteed from the seller to the buyer to
be as represented. The man without
money could buy provided the amount
of the purchase was ten dollars or more
and his note was good at the banks.
4In the ladies and girls department,
conducted by the ladies' Auxiliary to
the Farmers Institute, there was for
sale great variety of stuff such as
fancy sewing, cooked foods, dressed
chickens, canned fruits, butter, eggs
and farm made sausage. Everything
in this department sold for the price
asked and the supply fell far short of
the demand.
"This scheme of bringing the buyer
and seller together is something we
have been planning here for nearly a
year and this is the first try.out on a
large scale. 1t has been successful
beyond our expectations.
Why can't we start such movement?
1t would benefit everyone. 1t brings
the farmers into town and gives them
cash with which to patronize the local
merchants. The right kind of adver-
Using by the merchants, preceding the
sale day, would result in stores, shops
and mills being crowded by farmers and
their wives eager to secure the bargains
offered. On the other hand it would
give the town people chance to pur-
chase many home made articles of a
quality and freshness hard to secure
otherwise. Let's start something. Sc
lected.

The Paris Partisan says that the
Business Mems Club there has saved
Henry county citizens $50 per day from
years end to years end for freight on
coal. Somerville organized her club
before Paris did, but we are still paying
more freight on coal than Memphis
pays for coal hauled right thru Somer-
vile. We could save it too. if we
could get the same cooperative spirit
that Paris business men have. But il
seems our people had rather pay higher
freight, higher insurance, higher tele,
