The Skunk

Each night around my seaside
dwelling there roams skunk ;
at break of day the whole
charmed neighborhood is smell
ing of Jockey Club or New
Mown Hay. I know not why
this midnight vagrant should al
ways to my cottage steer; | only
know he renders fragrant hun
dred leagues of atmosphere. |
would not in this way be haunt
ed, were it a lion or a bear; for
I'm of courage, high, undaunted,
and l would shoe it to its lair.
Oh, bring your fierce man-eating
tiger, and it I'll face, and never
quail, and chase it to its native
Niger, and tie a tin can to its
tail. I'll meet in any mans
arena the fercest brutes the
world can dig, the warthog and
the rude hyena, the polar bear
and guinea pig. NO man can
say l am a gutter, but all my
courage seems like wind, when
comes that aromatic critter,
with incense from the stored
Ind. Which shows, my friends,
that circumstances will alter
cases, now and then; and when
some sort of doom advances, the
grit fails in the bravest men.
Call me not craven if l tremble,
say not that all my boasts are
bunk; my inward fears / can't
dissemble, will not try to kill
the skunk. WALT MASON.

URGED BY EXPERTS
BalIou Has Two Plans for
Use in D. C. Public
Schools.

course in physical and sanitary edu-
cation for public school children is be-
ing seriously considered by Superin-
tendent Of Schools BaIlou, 1t was learned
today. Such a course was explained and
suggested to the superintendent recent
1y by Emile Berliner Of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society Of the District, who has
made comprehensive study of the sub
ject
Mr.. Berliner suggested that text books
on the subject of physical development
be given to school pupils in the third
grade and above, and that they be re-
week to their study. 1t already has been
proven. it was pointed out, that the
study Of this topic by school children
elsewhere. has reduced mortality.
If Supt 'Ballou should approve such a
course for the District school children,
it undoubtedly will receive the unani-
nous approval of the board of educa-
tion. The latter. Dr. Abram Simon said,
is intensely interested in any subject
that will help preserve the health of
the children.
Would Weigh Children.
Besides Mr.. Berliners suggestion. DR..
Ballou also has under consideration
recommendations of DIR. Joseph A Muir
ply, supervising medical inspector of
the schools. which he believes will ma
terially help in maintaining and improv-
ing the health of the $4,000 school pu-
pills. DR.. Murphy has pointed out that
nearly one-third of the children in the
graded public schools of Washington are
10 per cent or more underweight
Chief among DR.. Murphy's recon-
mendatfons is one requesting that the
children be weighed and measured
quarterly. The school medical inspec-
tor believes a notice should then be
sent to the parents showing the &C
tual weight of their child and the
amount he should weigh. Such plan,
in DR. Murphy's opinion, would slim
ulate interest on the part of the child
and parent in securing normal weight.
through proper diet, proper, hygiene
and the correction of physical de-
fects.
Urges Study Of Dietetics.
DR.. Murphy also has recommended
TO the superintendent that a text
book on the subject of proper diet Tor
children be distributed in the schools
for study.
Children found to be underweight
and undernourished. DR.. Murphy be-
lieyes. should be quartered in separate
schools He has recommended that an
open-air school be established in eacn
school division for the underWelght
and undernourished pupils. Children
Murphy contends, should be served
wholesome food during school hours
at actual cost.
The superintendent will make a
thorough study of each of the plans
and announce his decision later. II
nav he that he will correlate both
plans.
