teachers cooperate with the league in
every possible way in this work, the
motion receiving an affirmative vote.
1t was also decided at this meeting
to organize an Audubon Society in
Pensacola, calling a meeting of the
general public, and forming a society
separate from the league. The mat
ter was placed in the hands of Mrs.
Bats, who will call meeting at an
early date.
A very bright feature of the after
noon was short talk by Mrs. Miles
Weller on the work accomplished by
the women of Colorado along educa-
tional lines.
Mrs. Weller has made her home in
Colorado for many years and is ia
miliar with the work which the wom-
en- have accomplished, not only
through the ballot, but prior to the
time at which the franchise was given
them, and suggested, in few stirring
words, that Pensacola should have a
woman superintendent, and that
that one of the ways to bring this
about might be for the women of Es-
Gambia county to follow the lines laid
down by the women of Colorado,
who, Mrs. Weller said, were instru-
mental in placing Mrs. Sarah Plat
Decker in office.
Mrs. Weller, who is a woman Of
much beauty, charm and culture, call
ed attention to the fact that woman
is broadening in the scope of her
work, that women, en- masse, are be-
ing trained to meet the conditions of
life fearlessly and fairly, and with
open minds, the contact their new
place in the world has given them
having developed in them a new con-
ception and standard of living.
1t was suggested by a member OF
the league present that what was
possible of accomplishment in Colo
RADIO might not work out effectively
in Florida, where the women, so far,
have been unable to secure even the
school franchise. which Colorado had
for many years before the women Sc
cured the vote, and that the most
practical method for the improvement
of educational conditions in Florida
would be for the women of Pensacola
and other cities of the state, to work
for woman suffrage, in order that
women in this staet, as in other pro-
gressive states, might lend their in
fluence to educational work in the
same way that men do.
AS the discussion was merely IN.
formal, no action was taken, but the
concensus of opinion of the meeting
seemed to be that those present
would work in every possible way &c
raise the standard of the schools II
the county, and especially along the
lines of medical inspection
A letter was read by the secretary
Mrs. E. F. Bruce, from the Childrens
Home Society, of which Mr.. Marcus
Fagg is superintendent, asking for {
donation for the home, and on mo-
ton put by Mrs. Bats, and seconded
by Miss Evelyn Thornton, it was de

Civic League Discusses
Medical Inspection of Schools

At the meeting of the Civic League,
which was held yesterday afternoon
at the Y. M. c. A., the principals of
the public schools of the city met
with the members for discussion of
medical inspection in the schools.
Among the teachers present were
Miss Pauline Reese, Miss Annie Nc
MILAN, Miss Kate Loftin, Miss Eve
lyn Thornton, Miss Bereth Peterson,
Miss Emma Chandler, Mrs. Mamie d.
Thomas, Miss Erma Ellis, Mrs. j. C.
Avery, president of the league pre-
sided.
The committee on school inspection,
of which Mrs. M. f. Bats is chair
man, made the following report:
Madam President and Ladies:
In 1884 the Civic League DEM
onstrated beyond question the neces-
sity of medical inspection in our
schools; it was surprising the great
number of defective children among
the few examined at that time.
The routine inspection of school
children is provided for by a law
passed by the legislature of 1915, and
our state board of health considers
this law exceedingly faulty. 1t pro-
vides for the appointment by the
county commissioners of physicians
who shall act as school inspectors,
but whose services are paid for by
the state board of health. The law
further provides that no physician
shall have under his charge more than
$500 children. No special appropria-
ton was made to cover this expense,
and DR.. Porter says:
ct is manifestly impossible for
adequate compensation to be provid-
ed for from the state board of health
fund. Under these circumstances a
per capita of 10 cents was as much as
could be spared for this line of work
This amount will not much more than
pay the actual expense incurred by
the inspectors, however, in many of
the counties of the state, physicians
appointed have been willing to un-
dertake the work at this figure from
a humanitarian standpoint"
The Civic League plea to you prin-
cipals is-that you give US your CO.
operation, instruct your teachers to
report cases of defective children
whose parents are not financially
able to pay physician, to you; you to
report these cases to the officers OF
this league-Mrs. Avery, president;
Miss Margaret Mcintyre, secretary
that relief may be secured for these
unfortunate little ones as soon as pos
sible; where communicable disease
occurs, DIR. S. R. Mallory Kennedy
member of the state board, should be
called at once to investigate.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. NJ E. BATS,
MRS. MILES WELLER,
Committee.
A motion was made by Mrs Bats
and seconded by Mrs. Weller, that the
teachers of the schools report to the
principals, who in turn would report
to the Civic League, any children ir
need of medical attention, and fnan-
cially unable to pay, and that the
