SCHOOL
INSPECTION

Periodical physical examinations
are as necessary for children as tor
adults, in order to detect physical
defects. So important is this con.
sidered that routine examinations Of
all children have become an. integral
part Of the work Of many public
schools, and mothers and teachers
cannot begin too early the stresslng
of hygienic habits, since nearly all
of the diseases of adult life are
traceable to conditions in childhood.
Diseased tonsils, adenoids and de-
cayed teeth are among the most us
ual causes of deficient vitality in chill
dren, but perhaps the most prevalent
of all is malnutrition: since of the
100000 school children in the
United States known to be suffering
from some preventable defect the
large majority are undernourished.
Malnutrition is just as apt to occur
among the children of the well to DO
as among those Of the poor, as it is
caused just as often by an unsuita-
BILE or poorly balanced diet as by too
little food. ... s...r..,r >.
Medical inspection of schools is
conducted by a physician, preferably
assisted by public health or d
school nurse who also visits in the
homes of the children found defective
to see that the doctors instructions
are carried out. Where there is no
physician available, the nurse herself
may give a physical inspection but
this is necessarily not as thorough
as the medical inspection although 1t
is the means of discovering innumer7
able defects. When there are dis
eased tonsils Or adenoids, the parents
arc generally advised to, have them
removed: children with defective
teeth are advised to see a dentist, and
often tooth brush drills are instituted
in the schools u. impress the import
ance Of clean teeth. Where children
are as much as Z per cent under the
normal wight ior their height, their
parents are advised concerning diet,
and then the children are weighed
each week thereafter to sec if they
gain normally, for if child does not
gain at least eight ounces month
there is almost invariably something
wrong with his health.
III MANY SClluOiS IOI iuilCil,9 ~
served at noon in the effort to help
bring the children up to normal
t. and in others half pint of
milk is served TO each child at ten
o'clock in the morning, since milk is
is the one most nearly perfect food.
Medical inspections are valuable, not
only from a physical standpoint hut
from an educational one as we'll.
Children suffering from malnutrition
or physical defects are generally ner-
vous and irritable and backward in
their studies Often they drop out of
school entirely and are considered
stupid when they arc really sick.
Schools that do not have medical or
physical inspection would do well to
consider its ACCESSIBILITY, and parents
whose children are backward, ner-
vous or underweight should lose no
time in having them examined Nfor
physical defects that undermine their
health.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME

In the beginning OF the New
Year no matter what other reSo-
lutions YOU may have formed
there can be no better resolve
than to own ones OWE home. we
know of one man in Alexandra
who, forty years ago, at the age
OF seventeen, made this tar-see-
inc resolution and Who at the age
of twenty-iour conducted his
bride over the threshold OF their
own little home and who has
grown to be one OF the success
full merchants of the city. Inns
Young man was a printer by trade,
with only the: small wages paid
the craft. at that fine But he
happenedstoy giftesdwith an I'M
usual amount grit and persever-
ance andsthe result has been that
the thousands Of dollars usually
paid out in rent have gone into
his own pocket and been 50 much
additional capital, besides a pres
ent and actual insurance to his
family. Moreover. this thrifty
citizen has brought up a family OF
boys in whom he has incuIcated
the same principles OF economy
and savings.
In the carly days the only way
to accumulate money was by
dint OF self-denial and hard work.
Nowadays, however, we have
Building and Loan Associations
that make the task easier and
safer and surer. Ii OUR young
men only stopped to think. to re-
fleet on these friendly and phil
anthropic institutions, and what
they would do for them, we tee4
sure that one thousand more
young men in Alexandria would
become shareholders and III: lew
years acquire that which would, Ill
a measure at least. render them
proof against the irowns OF Tor
tune. The American is essentially
a home-lover and has ar inherit
ed love for the possession OF land
No matter how humble the home,
it is still his own. and he would
not swap it for the miles OF rented
palaces that jostle and crowd each
other on the thoroushlarcs Of the
great cities. We doubt not there
is more real happiness under one
OF these little roofs than III all the
others combined.
If you who arc young read this,
take heed and protlhhy the sus-
gestion. Ii you happen to be
older, and have d family, teach it
and preach it to them till they
start the building OF a cosy nest
somewhere that will shelter their
little ones sometime and make for
happiness. loM know they vii!
never regret it; teach them out Of
your wisdom that they will never
regret it. The way is easy once
it is pointed out 10 them. Your
duty and their happiness lie i'll the
same path.

Before Commission Savoy
Case Up April 20.

Rents in the Fillmore apartments,

defended before the District Rent
Commission today by Rudolph B.
Behrend, owner Of the apartments
In q continuation Of the hearing on
the Fillmore case.
Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, member
of the commission. interrupted M
Behrend's testimony. pointing out Il
him the percentage of increase in
rents In the Fillmore over pre-waI
figures. '.
Behrend called attention to q six
room apartment. which, he said
was the ''lightest and largest" ir
the Fillmore. and which rented
from October /. 1915, to April IA
1920,S for $3.50 q month to one
tenant. The rent later was raised
to $45 and again increased to $7t
a month. Behrend said.
Mrs. Taylor here interposed the
remark that $75 represented more
than 100 per cent increase over the
lowest figure. Mr.. Behrend replied
that expenses, such as lighting and
heat came into consideration and
necessitated such an increase. He
showed also that rooms in the
apartment were sublet for SIS to
