MEDICAL INSPECTION is
TO BE CARRIED FORWARD

The work of medical inspection
among the schools of the State will
be carried on, although the Legisla-
ture failed to make an appropriation
sufficient for the purpose.
At meeting of the executive and
finance committee of the Service Citi-
zens it was decided that the Asso-
citation should confer with the Red
Cross and Reconstruction Commission,
in order to outline program for the
continuance of the medical inspection.
Funds from the Service Citizens will
be used to supply the deficiency that
the Legislature failed to arrange for
Another item decided upon, was
that teachers attending the summer
school at Newark, shall be given in
in medical inspection so that
they will be able to assist in seeing
that deserving pupils in their charge
whose parents are unable to provide
for corrective measures in order to
aid the children's health, shall know
what to do.
An Appropriation was made for the
Delaware Safety Council, and much
of the work of the Council be carried
on from the headquarters of the Ser
vice Citizens.

FREIGHT SMALL PART OF COST

Washington, July 4.-(Special cor
which the increase in freight rates
has to the increase in the price Of
commodities was shown by Vice Pres
ident w. H. Williams, of the Della
ware & Hudson railroad, in testimony
before the Senate Interstate Com
merce Commission a few days ago. Il
was shown, for example, that an in
I crease of 40 per cent in freight rates
would add only inconsiderable
amounts to the cost of numerous COM
mOdities of common use, if the in
+ crease in freight alone be the occa-
sion for the increase in price. The
freight increase on a suit of clothes
shipped from New England to Kan
sas City would be slightly more than
3 cents. The increase on a shirt be-
tween the same two points would be
about third of cent and on pair
of shoes about three cents.
On Pacific Coast commodities, the
increase in freight would be in even
less proportion, for on a crate of or
anges from California to Chicago, the
increase would be about 3S cents, or
about half cent a pound. On a q
pound can of fruit from California to
Chicago, the increase would be only
siX-tenths of a cent. On box of ap-
pies weighing about so pounds, the
freight increase from the Pacific
Northwest to Chicago would be about
"a cents, or about half a cent lb. On
one hundred pounds of sugar from a
New York refinery to a dealer in Kan
sas City, the increase would be 20
cents, or One-fifth of a cent a pound.
The figures submitted by Mr.. Will
liams also show that one trouble with
the freight rate adjustment was that
the freight rates were not changed to
correspond with changes in other
lines of industry. From 1913 to 1919,
for instance, the price of cattle at
went up from $815 per hum
dred pounds to $16.05 per hundred, or
an increase of 100 per cent, while the
freight rate between Sioux City, Iowa,
and the Chicago market was advanced
only about 80 per cent. Similar rela-
lions between prices and freight rates |
On other commodities in the same
period, show similar changes.
In 1921 market prices of many COM /
nodities are down nearly to normal,
while the freight rates, which did not /
advance in accordance with the cost /
If operation or in accordance with the |
)rices of commodities, are, of course,

ANNUAL PHYSICAL TEST,
PERSHING PLAN

General John J. Pershing, address
ing the encampment of the Military
Order of the World War at Sea- Girt,
N. j., said that the education and ply
sical condition of a high percentage
of the young Americans who served
in the war was a disgrace to any ma
ton. The General dwelt on the bur-
den thus thrust upon the army COM
manders, called for an annual physi-
cal test of the youth of the land, sug-
gested the training of at least 100000
men every year, if there could not be
universal service, and blamed litter
acy as the real cause of slackers.
Dwelling on the handicap Of weak
bodies and unframed minds, the over
seas Commander-in-Ch insisted
that peace time was the hour for ov-
grooming such defects, as vital to sane
national preparedness. The speaker
did not elaborate on his ideas for an
annual physical appraisal of the ma
tion's young men, but made it plain
that he would have such a survey on
ly as a precedent to proper therapeu-
tic measures on broad lines. Never
again." he said, Should the country
have to pass through such an expert
ence with unframed minds and bod
les as it did in the last war"
Universal military training doubt
lessly would be the greatest help"
said General Pershing, "but at the
present time this seems to be out of
the question. AS a matter of fact, do
not know whether it will ever be pos
sible.
"In discussing the reorganization of
the army, cannot help but make ref
erence to one very important thing,
and that is the high percentage of il
literacy which confronted us in the
formation of our overseas army.
"The illiteracy Of the young man
hood of the country is a disgrace to
any nation, and more particularly to
he greatest nation on earth. We have
wondered at the large number Of
slackers, but men who could neither
'ead nor write and who had never
'ead the Constitution could not COM !
their vast obligations.

THE CHILD LABOR PROBLEM
Colonel Homer Folks to Speak at
Child Labor Conference

Colonel Homer Folks, secretary of
the New York State Charities Aid As
sociation, who has just returned to
this country from Europe, where, as
representative of the American Red
Cross, he has had charge of the es-
tablishment of child health centers,
was one of the principal speakers
at the Sixteenth National Conference
on Child Labor, at Milwaukee, Friday
afternoon, June oath. Colonel Folks
told of the European conditions and
problems. Other speakers were Ow-
en- R. Lovejoy, general secretary of
the National Child Labor Committee,
Charles E. Gibbons and Miss Sara A.
Brown, field agents of the National
Committee.
Mr.. LOVejOy presented a report of
recent Investigations that have been
made by the Committee in rural Sec
tiOns. The most serious aspect of ru-
raj child labor, this report showed
is its interference with school at
tendance. In a study of 174 schools
in Oklahoma, involving $3.50 pupils,
it was found that the total number of
days absent during the year was more
than One-third of the total number of
days present. The absences of the
children who were out doing farm
work and hOusewOrk reached a total
Of 9O,9O3 days, an amount almost
equal to the sum of all the other alb
sences put together. Similar studies, /
with similar results, have been made /.
in Colorado, Alabama, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and other states.
In SDitp Of the fapt fbof co 7,,or,vr
children stay out of school and work, |
actual poverty is not the important |
factor in the majority of cases. AS a .
beet grower in Colorado said to a rep
resentatiYe of the Child Labor Com
mittee staff, my boy is worth $1,000
for work during the beet season, but
is nothing but an expense when he
goes to school," Another family, who
boasted that they had made $4,000
from their farm during the proceed
ing year were allowing their two chill
dren to work in the fields during
school hours. "The failure lies as
much with the school as with the
parents or the children" says Mr..
LOvejOy. ITO the parent, in many in
stances, the work of the school ap-
pears impractical and unimportant; to
he child it is often mOnotonous and
rksome. With such a combination
here is only one place to turn for a
solution of our rural attendance prob
EN-, and that is the school itself. I'm
ii we provide rural schools which are
attractive in appearance, well equip
)ed, well taught and vital to the life
If the community, neither the rural ,
school attendance nor the rural child :
abOr problem will be solved"
