PREDICTS MURDER
OF BRITISH GENERAL
De Valera Says Irish Will Ayenge Them
selves of Attacks on Unarmed
People of Dublin.

NEW YORK. Nov. %. = EamOn de
Valera issued the following statement
yesterday in regard to Sunday dlsor-
dcrs in Dublin:
swo0ping down and firing their machine
guns on an unarmed people is simply a
repetition of the Amritsar massacre IN
India and whatever British officer was
in charge in Dublin viii be commended
for it and rewarded, as Dyer was.
And later. when that officer is made
to feel by Irish republicans that al
though he may commit these crimes with
impunity. so far as his own government
is concerned he may not do 1t with nm
punitv so far as Irishmen can secure
it. his death will be classed- by the
BritiSh-cOntrOlled press as another muir
der by Sim Fciners.
"FngliSh policemen in ireland, long
before one of their number was killed,
shot down unoffending civilians. and YER
diets Of wilful murder were returned Dy
cOronpr'S jurieS against them. Instead
of being punished. they were commenced
and promoted by the British government.
1t is not in human nature-or at
least in the nature of spirited people
to go on enduring forever.
There is no comparison between. the
guilt of the British soldiers who from
tanks and armored cars IN tul! war out
fit with machine guns and rifles, NOV
down unoffending civilians as they walk
the streets intent on their ordinary bust
ness or attend a football match, or mur-
der prominent Irishmen in the bosoms
of their families, and the Irishmen who
kin these British soldiers engaged in an
armed campaign of violent aggression
against the Irish peoples rights.
| NO British soldier has right to be
in Ireland Those who are there are
! guilty of making war. not a civilized
/ but a barbarous war, on people who are
guilty of no act of aggression against

ingtop school children in few cases
but Dr. Murphy made it cl> tr that il
iSE,ot due to unsuitable desks.
DeskS in almost every school, DIR.
Murphy said, are adjustable, and are
regulated to suit the pupils.
Teachers in the schools also closely
scrutinize pupils and make them sit

writing.
Finds Few Cases of Curvature.
One reason why DIR. Murphy has
been unable to discover exactly the
number of curvature of the spine
cases among the school children is
due to the lack of authority to exam
inc pupil partly nude. During the
recent weighing and measuring of the
children. DIR. Murphy said, some par
ents consented to permit the medical
inspector to partly remove clothing
from the bodies of some of the chill
dren. With this process, DIR. Murphy
pointed out, he was able to discover
a few cases of spine curvature.
Medical inspectors and physical
culture teachers, however, DIR. Murphy
said. can detect cases of incorrect
while seated at their desks. There
are many of such cases among Dis
trict school children. but if the plans
for future physical development are
carried out in the schools, a great
majority of them, it is believed, will
be corrected, and Washington will be
able to boast of having the best
physical developed school children in
the country. -nsAnz

SCHOOL PUPILS DEFECTS
Medical Inspector Lays Plans for War on
Curvature Of Spine Danger at Opening
of Term Ne1t FALL

Incorrect posture is one of the most
prevalent of physical defects among
Washington public school children.
Curvature of the spine, an outgrowth of
incorrect posture, exists to a small eX-
tent. This was disclosed today by DIR.
Joseph A. Murphy. supervising medical
inspector of the public schools
DR.. Murphy declined to place any esti-
mate on the number OF cases of these
physical defects among the school chill
dren, but said there is no need for
alarm. Everything possible has been
done by school medical inspectors and
physical culture instructors to correct
the defects. but still more stress is to
be laid on these subjects when the
schools reopen in September.
Due to Desire to Relax
Incorrect posture, in the opinion OF
Dr. Murphy, is due more or less to the
desire of school, children to relax their
muscles and sit in exceedingly comfort
able positions, not only in the class
room but in the home. The general
physical condition of the child also, Dr.
Murphy believes, is a potent factor in
the cause of the defects.
Curvature of the spine among the
Baltimore. school children, according
to reports from that city, exists to
an alarming extent. Long confine-
ment at school desks not of the right
size to seat comfortably the children is
given asthe cause of the physical de-

Representatives of thirty-one national

betterment throughout the United
States. The meeting was held at the
Washington Hotel yesterday afternoon
under the auspices Of the bureau OF edu-
tion.
The delegates went on record with a
four planked platform. including the fol-
lowing propositions: faa
Propositions Favored.
There is need of promoting the en-
tire system of education as a unit in
Guiding elementary schools, secondary
schools and higher educational institu-
tions.
There is need of promoting a COM
prehensive. plan of extension educa-
tlon, in order to meet the needs of
working people who have left schools
with insufficient education: young per
sons reaching voting age; millions of
women who will probably be enfran-
chised shortly. and four millions of eX-
service men. the educational plans of
many of whom were interrupted bv the
war.
Inere is need for more liberal Sup-
port of institutions for professional
preparation of teachers
The adoption of a policy of paving
teachers salaries equivalent to those
paid persons of similar ability and
preparation in other caIlings is urged
Report Is Adopted.
The representative also adopted a
report of the committee of the CON
ference on educational campaiens
subscribing to the following state
ment:
There is no question of greater
interest and concern to the people of
democracy than the question of ed
ucation. The achievements of our
people throughout their history have
been due in large measure to the
ideals and principles of the American
educational system
Never have these ideals and prip
ciples been fully realizel, and we find
ourselves now in the midst of ma
tional crisis.
I'VE are convinced that there is mr.
gent need for immediate action alone.
