CARE OF CHILDREN
URGED ON PARENTS
Doctor Furbush Says Minor Ills
Should Be Corrected Before
School Year Begins

Parents of small children who are TO
enter school next month are urged TO
have them given a thorough examina :
tion by their family physician, by DR..
G.. Lincoln Furbush. director of the De-
partment Of Public Health, in his weekly
bulletin.
"While their clothes, books and class
room necessities are being looked AFTER
said the director, "a far more i'm.
portant need requiring the most careful
attention Of parents is the physical
health essential to successful advance
mept in school studies.
Defective vision must be corrected
IL the child is to be expected to keep
up with It's studies and to maintain the
same standard as the normal child. Good
hearing Is also essential to the child,
as many cases Of backwardness arc
due primarily to defects of hearing.
Diseased tonsils and adenoids are re
sponsible for no small number Of cases
Of illness among children during the
school term.
1.-THE teeth are Of no less Importance.
We cannot hope to improve the physical
state Of the school children unless their
food Is properly masticated.
The Board of Education maintains
under supervision Of the Department OF
school medical inspection. Each chile
who attends school must undergo a com
plete physical examination and parent,
are notified Of defects which need imme
diate attention.
There Is, however, no means OF ex
amining children by the health authori
ties before they enter school when de.
fects could be conveniently corrected Al
a great advantage to the child, since

SHIPPING OF WORLD
BELOW ITS NORMAL
Three and One-half Million
Gross Tons Less Than II Con-
fliot Had Not Occurred
LLoYD's REGISTERS FACTS

Despite the great growth Of the
American merchant marine and the In
tensive production of ships in the United
states and che United Kingdom, the
worlds steel steam tonnage today is
$500 900 gross tons less than IL would
have been IL the war had not interfered
with the normal rate Of expansion,
says a statement just issued by Lloyd 8
Register Of Shipping and based on data
contained in the 1920-21 edition of
Iloyd's Register Book.
Although Britain is now building
nearly 800 600 gross tons Of ships more
than this country, It is stated, British
holdings Of steamships are still 7S1 900
tons below the total at the outbreak of
the war.
The world total for all types Of YES
sells over 100 gross tons, however, Is
now 81 ,814 900 gross tons. an increase
Of 1928 900 tons over the pre- war
figure. OF this amount the United
States holds 16,049, 900 tons and the
United Kingdom Is, 1886, 900 tons. The
British lead, which before the war was
nearly $4,000, 900 tons, having been re =
duced to about 100000 tons.
In steel steamships, however, the
British lead Is larger one, the mar
gin in this case being 1855 900 tons.
American holdings of Wooden steamships
are much greater than the British. and
this country also leads in sailing ton :
mage by wide margin.
Distribution Of Tonnage
The distribution of the tonnage of the
two countries by types is as follows, in
gross tons.
