PUBLIC HEALTH.
The Child's Relation To Medical
Inspection or Schools.

Inspection or Schools.
Every child has a right to expect
his natural guardians to do every
thing possible to insure him a useful
successful, and happy life. 1t IL
equally true that every parent IL
anxious to remove every obstacle
that might impede his child's
progress. 1t is universally recog-
nized that health and education are
mans strongest assets in the busi-
ness of living. Consequently, health
and education are the inherent
rights of every child.
Comparatively few of the citizens
of a state are trained to educate its
children, and fewer still are those
who are trained to recognize physi-
cal defects. ) The state recognizes
the fact that every parent cannot be
expected to educate his child himself,
and provides schools and teachers
for that child. Not only does it pro-
vide schools, but it also compels the
child to attend some kind Of school.
The child must perforce acquire an
education because without an edu-
cation he cannot compete with his
highly trained fellows. But who
stops to inquire whether the child is
in such physical condition that he
can properly take in and assimilate
that education that is offered. and
even forced upon him?
Children are long-suffering crea-
lures. Hundreds of childish faces
in every county are turned with
patient eyes towards the teachers, or
stare indifferently out the windows,
and in neither class Of this group
can the full value of the education
the teacher, is trying to instill be
fully absorbed because Of the dun
hearing, the defective vision, the
obstructed breathing, the malnutri-
ton, or other defect that might pos
sibly be removed.
The parents do not know these
defects exist because they have not
been trained to observe them, and,
unfortunately, the family physician
usually sees the child only when it
has some acute illness which
naturally over-shadows every other
issue at the time. But the state can
go into the schools, discover the de.
fects that are hindering the child's
progress, and start him on the way
to having them corrected. In any
Of the kind, the local
and community agencies,
through which the corrections are
naturally brought about, are invalu-
able.
It is SO easy to deprive child of
these things. He does not even
know you are doing it, and trusts
you just as implicitly as though you
were not withholding his birthright
the birthright of health and edu-
cation. If his health is such that he
cannot receive all the education the
teacher would give him, he simply
plods along behind his more fortu-
nate fellows. If he is sensitive as
well as handicapped. he feels keenly
his inferiority, and we wonder why
he is wistful, or sullen, or defiant.
Medical inspection in the schools
is bringing US nearer to the day
when we shall pay as much attention
to the health Of our children as we
are now doing to the health of our
hogs.

HOME AGAIN

When the Presidents ship tied up
in New York a great concourse OF
citizens, soldiers, sailors and people
of every class and station were there
to welcome him, because he is Presi-
dent and because he brought with
him a treaty of peace that is to DO
more than end one war. 1t is to bind
the people of the world together for
the purpose Of ending war itself.
Therefore, the welcome that New
York gave him is representative OF
the welcome that tens of millions OF
the people of the country would have
given had they been there.
His welcome in Washington today
will be no less heartfelt SO far as the
people are concerned, and with the
people will be the greater part of Of
ficial Washington, including Co.'S
gress. But not all of Congress is OF
that mind.
There will be no cheers from SEN
ator Lodge and none from Senator
Borah, though they happen to be the
first names on the committee which
will officially inform the President
that the Senate is ready to hear him
We have no doubt that he is fully
prepared to speak to the Senate, and
when he has spoken, then will open
contest in which the cheers Of the
people and their approval manifested
IN public meetings, petitions to the
Senate and private letters to Senators

& II the President is backed as he
ought to be backed from now on

portinR to the Allied Powers that
the treaty has been ratified.-St
