Report OF Medical Inspection OF the
Local Schools.

has completed his examination OF the
pupils OF the Forest Park and Maple
Grove schools. or the approximately
1000 pupils enrolled in the two build
dngs 70 have throat difficulties, ac-
cording to Mr.. Metcalfs report. Sew
enty pupils have defective teeth. Two
cases OF nasal difficulties, and twenty
one cases OF defective vision. Only
four pupils have deformities. The
report shows that our pupils as a
whole, are not under-fed, for only 3
cases OF bad malnutrition were dis
covered. The cases OF defective
teeth We're reported in the main from
the primary and intermediate grades.
This condition would seem to indi-
cate that parents and pupils have pro-
flted by former examinations and
have remedied conditions.
The thirteen cases OF throat diff
-culties in the assembly room call for
immediate attention, because these
pupils are reaching an age where
surgery and local treatment can rem
edy but not entirely cure the defects
The chief value OF the medical ex-
aminer's report is that IL indicates to
parents, teachers and pupils condi-
tions probably never suspected before.
The accusation can not be made OF
our school that 1t trains the mind,
but neglects the body.
One week ago last Wednesday the
pupils OF Miss Flora Peterson enter

MODEST SCOUTS BRAVE ACT.

Scout Frederick Nelson Of Dubuque,
Iowa, aged IS. Is deserving of place
on the highest honor roll Of Scoutdom
and efforts are being made to have
his name placed there.
Frederick, who was visiting at Fair
field, Iowa, one day heard the screams
OF child coming from the direction
of the river where he had been swim

in again and rescued little Bernice
Derry, aged O., who had been bathing

The child had gone down for the
third time, but the scout dived, brought
her to the surface and then. assisted
ny couple of other lads, brought her
10 shore and resuscitated her.
The first that was known In Du-
buque of the lads brave deed was a
letter to the scout executive from the
girls mother, praislng the boy and

SONG OF THE BOY SCOUTS.

Did you call, o fair Columbia,
Did you call US In your need?
Far and wide the summons sounded,
We are here your wish to heed.
Use us. gentle mother. use us.
In the way that you think best;
Nothing makes our hearts feel lighter
Than to serve at your behest.
Fathers, brothers, uncles, grandsires
Paid in full their debt to you;
Tell us. loving mother, tell us,
What Is there n boy can do7
He can't go to fight your battles
Ger the wide seas whitening foam
But he'll grow and be a soldier
And protect you here at home.
You still need the heart that's loyal.
You still need the helping hand,
Here we come. a million brothers,
All united in one band.
We can guard the precious banner
That our brothers died to save,
And sons unselflsh devotion
We can give az heroes gave.
