A SCHOOL NURSE.


Petitions are being circulated for
the employment of school nurse for
Bismarck. 1t is understood that the
matter will be put before the school
board at its meeting this evening.
Whether immediate action will be
, taken is not known, but before tax
payersaStens petitions or are requested
to desc, some formal statement
should be made so the public may
know just what it is signing for.
There may he a serious question
as to the necessity for a school nurse

of the children. U "a

Preliminary steps have been taken
for medical inspection Of the
schools under the city health officer.
Why not try out the plan tentatively
arranged? There are some 800 chill

large proportion of them are sound,

able expense seems unnecessary at
this time, when we have city health
official who, with small contingent
fund at his command, can make nee
essary inspections to safeguard the
health of the children.
ID If there is a necessity for medical
examination of the children, let it be
made under the supervision of the
health officer. Probably, the board
should make an appropriation each
year for an inspection of children be-
lieved to be defective. An alert
teacher, however, can detect cases
that call for attention, and report
them to the superintendent. It would
seem we have machinery enough now
to provide adequate medical inspec-
ton, without securing the services of
a nurse.
Just what necessity there is for
school nurse in city the size of Bis
marck is not apparent.
Let us have medical inspection of
the school children if it is necessary
and a sanitary survey of our school
plant, but just how we are going to
achieve this by the employment of
nurse needs some calculation.

DESMOND EMULATES
 FAIRBANKS' ANTICS
 IN ORPHEUM PICTURE

It is not so easy to scramble over the high iron fence surrounding the Triangle-Kay Bee Culver City studios.
 William Desmond knows just how difficult it is, because he has done it five or six times before the camera.
 The fence is eight feet high of or nate iron, with spikes in the effect of spears pointing upward, and crossbars extending horizontally every two feet.
 Desmond, who has the leading role in "The Iced Bullet, the feature at the Orpheum tonight. is supposed to be poor scenario writer who endeav- ors to sell his manuscript to Thos. H. Ince, and who, in order to get on the lot" is obliged to escape the watch ful eye and 300 pound bulk of the guardian at the gate.
 In order to do this, Desmond leaps over the iron fence, and this he had to do a number of times before he could finally trust himself before the cam era. Although he is an exceptionally powerful athlete, Desmond had never made speciality of high jumping, and it took a lot of practice before he could turn the trick.
