Hoover said that the American
educational system was built first
on the basis of mental training
alone. BY degrees, he pointed out,
we have filtered into the system
some degree of moral training, but
it is only of late years that we
have begun to give any thought. at
all about health training Of children
in the schools
According to the Bureau OF
Education" he continued, less
than one-tenth of the school chill
dren today are receiving anything
which pretends to be an adequate
physical education and health train
ing"
In 1915, the survey showed, the
country child had a better chance
of reaching maturity in full health
than the city child. Today the city
child has a slightly better chance.
Hoover said that this means we
have made more progress in the
cities than in the country, showing
the necessity for organizing a
broad-gauge program OF child
health which will reach to our
farm children as effectively as it il
beginning to reach our municipal
children"

Results Of a survey conducted in
eighty-six cities of between 10000
and 10000 population, disclosed
that forty-one of them showed no
provision for hospital or sanitarium
care of tuberculosis victims.
'Diphtheria and smallpox can be
prevented, yet 20 per cent of the
children in these cities have not
been vaccinated, and forty cities
have done nothing to establish con-
troll of diphtheria," Hoover said.
"Seventy-five of the eighty-six
cities have no directors of health
education in the schools. Four
have no medical inspection of
school children, and in fifteen
cities this inspection is very inef-
ficient. Eighteen have no boards of

East Returns "Cart Wheels"
as Fast as They Can
Be Put Out
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
The Governments campaign to
put millions Of silver dollars into
circulation has been abandoned, it
was announced today, because of
The adversion of the public to the
old-fashioned "cart-wheel."
The Treasury put millions of
them out, but like the cat, they
came back. Silver dollars are re-
turning from all sections east of
the Mississippi to their accus-
toned resting place in the dusty
vault of the Treasury.
The use of silver dollars was
designed as one of the numerous
Administration economy moves.
Treasury officials had estimated
that by substituting ''hard money"
for paper, the Treasury would
save $1,0O0,000 a year in its print
ing and paper bill.
Propaganda Failed.
Newspaper publicity, public ad-
dresses and bank cooperation fail
ed to educate the Eastern United
States to the habit of jangling a
few heavy silver dollars in their
pockets.
The campaign has brought fn
even stronger reaction to paper
money and no further efforts are
to be made by Secretary Mellon
to force silver dollars on the pub
lie. The drive was cast into the
discard as hopeless.
Ten million hard" dollars we-e
added to the normal $56 ,0O0, 900 in
circulation a few months ago, as an
initial move to increase the "cart
wheel" crop outside the Treasury
by 1000 900. Within a month
after the new dollars left the
Treasury the backward march
1t was officially estimated today
that circulation is virtually the
same as when the campaign opened.
East Turns EN- Back.
ASSiSIdnL SECRETARY OF the treas
ury Dewey pointed out that for
every 100000 silver dollars kept
IN circulation, the Government
would save $1,000, 900. Silver dol
lars. he explained, wear indefinitely,
while their paper substitutes are
back for remaking about eight
months after issue. It costs 11z cents
10 keep a paper dollar in circula-
ton eight months.
There is apparently a decided
tendency, especially in the East,
against hard money!" Dewey said
Although many of the Government
departments co-operated by placing
a few silver dollars in their pay
envelopes. the Treasury was unable
TO keep them out
The bulk of the present Sc, 200, 900
