cannot be employed for this long, the
local Public Health Nurse may devote
a fixed portion of her time to this
special work.
It has been estimated that of the
22,O0O,OO0 school children in the
United States 100000 are suffering
from some form of physical defect.
No examination by any physician nor
any suggested treatment could change
this condition unless the understand
ing of the parent is had and the CO.
operation and consent as well. BY
that means alone can these children
be, given the attention they demand.
The Public Health Nurse by her
visits to the home and by her untiring
efforts to explain to parents what
their children need, has been the
greatest possible help in securing
health for those children most in need
of it.
Many of the physical defects found
in children are simple and can readily
be corrected during childhood; these
however, if neglected become grave
and serious and result in physical
conditions which endanger health in
the grown up person. All of these
dangers Public Health Nurse can ex-
plain to parents without unduly alarm
ing them. This work is already being
undertaken by Public Health Nurse
in many places throughout the coun-
try and coupled with the general work

NEWSPAPERS AND SCHOOL
PUBLICITY.

| Again we remind the teachers that
the newspaper is the friend and boost
er of the public school and of educa-
| ton in general. Be a subscriber to the
paper nearest home and encourage its
circulation, then you can consistently
solicit support that is always gladly
given. A recent 4 number of The
School Board Journal contains the fol-
lowing editorial that is to the point:
"The newspapers are the single
most powerful element which the COM
munity has for furthering school pro-
jects. 1t has been well said that the
reason for the rapid spread of new
educational ideas and processes and
the general improvement in the eff
cheney of the schools is due to the
daily press. No matter what may be
said of the harm done by yellow
press, the fact remains that American
education would not have reached its
present stage of efficiency if it had
not been for the constant support
which schools and schoolmen have had
from newspapers, editors and re-
porters.
1t is true that newspapers print is
bizarre, the extreme, the scandalous
and that frequently legitimate school
news is minimized for some story of a
disgraceful crime or some unimportant
doing of screen favorite. School
news is generally without thrills and
relatively colorless, but every good
newspaper will accept it eagerly and
handle it with fair degree of accuracy.
"In many cases neglect of school
news is not to be charged to the pa
pers but to the school officials who
are antagonistic to the papers, Sc
Icretive concerning school affairs, or
tactless and even discourteous to news
papermen. 1t may be taken as an
axiom that newspapermen are fair and

taken into confidence by school Off
Gals. The individual newspaperman
may be a young cub or hardened
old timer careless in dress and man
ners, and even a trifle lacking in res
fpect for the personal dignity of the
school office. He will, however, quick
ly respond to fair treatment and will
appreciate the educators recogni-
ton of the Importance of the paper he
represents. He is not a trained educa-
tor and he tries to see school news
through the eyes of the average news
paper reader. If due allowance is
made for these facts and school hap
penings and educational innovations
are reduced to popular language, bet
ter results will be obtained for both
the reporter and the schools.
"No community can be intelligently
responsive to education unless it is in
formed. The better the newspapers
are aided by school authorities In
gathering and publishing school news,
the better will be the schools"

coming citizens as the homes are SO
will the nation be. So that this
whole problem resolves itself into the
question: Is the American home de-
cadent beyond redemption? If it is
not, then needed reform may be
wrought. If it is, all reform is an
idle dream.
Note: The author wishes to dis
claim any originality in the prepare

very freely from professional books

lie Health Nurse.)

One of the very important services
which a Public Health Nurse may
render to any community is that OF
observing the condition of the school
children. It is always necessary to
know if the school children of COM
munity are physically sound; each
year as new children enter the schools
and these children as we'll as those
already in the schools should be IN
sound physical condition. If they are
not they cannot possibly accept and
use the education which our schools
offer and It is quite as much 2 pubic

POLICE FLY TO RESCUE
SCABS.

A quarter Of an hour battle with
bricks, shovels and other tools of the
builders trade, took place in Cleve-
land, on August 18th between striking
carpenters, sympathizers and scabs.
Eighty scabs working on the B. F..
Keith theatre building at Euclid Ave.
and East 18th street were being load
ed at quitting time into trucks which
were furnished to take them home
when half hundred strike pickets
and sympathizers stormed the trucks
and threatened to overturn them.
A nearby cop waded into the meelc
with his revolver threatening to shoot,
but the bluff was called and he re-
treated welding his club instead. A
riot call brought out five flying
squadrons which quelled the riot. The
casualties from each side were about
dozen broken heads and blackened
eyes. The police carried off the worst
appearing offenders and the trucks
took the rest Of the scabs to their
homes. IA

FOOD THEFTs GROW.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Thefts of food
from doorsteps and small, shops in
the poorer districts of Chicago are on
the increase, Police Chief Fitzmorris
declared today. He added that indica-
tions are the city will be confronted
with one of the worst "crime waves
in it's history unless the unemploy-
ment situation in the middle west is
improved this fall.
Arrests of persons charged with eat
ing meals in the cheaper restaurants
and them admitting they have no
money to pay, are more numerous
the chief said and in some districts
police captains report families are
dispensing with cooked meals to
economize on fuel. The chief estimates
the number of unemployment in the
city at 100000.

MARCH

MARTIAL LAW.

Nine hundred arfled coal miners of
tie Cabin and Paint Creek mining
regions were encanIped at Charleston,
West Va, on Augilst 2l, enroute into
Mingo County iYlrOtest against the
establishment of Martial Law there.
The miners are greatly incensed at
what they term ayiolation of their
class rights by theinauguration of an
almost perpetual establishment of
martial law in place Of the civil law.
Altho the contemplated march is
wholly in the natpre Of a peaceful
and law abiding protest, nearly all
miners are armed AS is customary in
this section. They would undoubtedly
in a pinch, resort " the use of their
guns if conditions Justified. The long
prevailing outlawing of the miners
union in this virgitia mining section
is getting on the miners nerves and
has created an extremely inflamable
condition.

OPEN-AIR SUICIDES.

A significant development in the
unemployment situation here in Chi
cago is the increasing number Of one
time workers who are taking advan-
tage Of the only free things left in
"free and brave" America-open air
and free water.
They are leaving their Is cent

cluttering up the public parks. One
has but to visit once these breathing
places to become aware Of the vast
ness of the unemployed army. They
are perched upon every statue, they
ruin the scenery for the pleasure
motorists and otherwise create them
selves a common background against
which the beauties Of our public play

Another sign that they are obeying

the recent large number Of suicides

Irish-American Labor League.

The Irish workers of Cleveland do
not lag behind their fellow-workers Of
other cities. A branch of the Irish
American Labor League was organ
lied in this city last week.
Though in it's incipient stage, the
organization has developed a prodi-
gious capacity for work. Plans were
made for the holding of large mass
meetings and social affairs. An in
tensive membership campaign will be
conducted here.
The Irish-American Labor League
is the only Irish organization in the
United States which advocates the
abolition Of the present capitalist sys-
tenn and the establishment Of a work
ers' republic. 1t therefore behooves
every worker of Irish birth or extrac-
tion to join the League. Theirs is pre-
cisely the program which James Con-
nelly stood for and died for in Easter
week, 1916. This is the program for
which the gallant fighter, jim Larkin
stands for and because of his views
is serving a prison term of five years
in an American prison.
The following officers Of the Cleve.
land League were elected.
Edward O'Nill, President.
Martin Bone, Vice President.
Patrick Doyles, Treasurer.
John M. Gallagher, Secretary.

NEAR 6 MILLION
NOW IDLE.
SENATE GETS FIGURES ON UN-
EMPLOYED.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Unemploy-
ment figures for the United States
were given today by the department
Of labor as 5,735,OO0.
Of this number there are 100000
factory workers out of employment
in industries Of Ohio, so the same
report shows.
The statement, described by Secre-
tary of Labor James j. Davis as "a
rough estimate, was submitted to the
senate today in response to reso-
luton passed by that body several
weeks ago.
The head Of the labor department
said it was impossible for him to
comply with the request of the senate
for information as to the number Of
ax-service mem or the number of
women out of jobs.
The figures submitted today were
compiled by Ethelbert Stewart, chief
statistician of the department, who
classified the number of unemployed
in the various industries as follows:
Manufacturing and mechanical in
Ius striesl Is 900 .0Gt), "a ". y
Mining -250,000.
Transportation 900.
Trade and clerical workers-450,-
900.
Domestic and personal service
$4,000.
Total-5,735,OOO.
Data was also furnished to show
the increase of unemployment in the
first half of 1921. In the manufactur-
ing and mechanical industries, it was
estimated 3,473,OO0 fewer persons,
were employed in January, 1921, than
in January, 1920. By July, 1921, the
decrease in the manufacturing me-
chancal industries had reached g.
906, ,405 according to the report.
The department estimated about
100000 coal miners are out of work,
while many others are working part
time. 1t added that there was much
slack in the mining of iron, copper
and other minerals so that the total
of 250,000 men out of work in mining
was "a conservative estimate" The
unemployed railroad workers were
estimated at 100000
All the departments estimates were
relative to the peak Of employment
in January, 1920, it was explained,
so that the actual number of regular
workers out of employment would be
somewhat less than the 5,735,000
figure. In other words, many wives,
daughters, and boys employed when
the demand for labor was at its height
have since returned to "non-gainful'
home work or to school, and these
are included in the estimated $685..
900 jobless.
In Illinois, the number of factory
workers unemployed in June, 1921,
as compared with March, 1920, was
100000 in Ohio, the number was 2O4,-
600; in Pennsylvania, $4,000; in
Michigan 100000; in Wisconsin, 49,
600: in Indiana, 10000; in Minnesota,
$1,000; in Iowa, 25,oOO.
