carefully and thoroughly. and / find
they bear no faint of scientific value"

had heard made that the public schools
provide educational facilities for the In

allow, to strive to help physically dis
abled children to obtain an education.
He pointed out that at present special
schools have been established for the
education OF tubercular children, and
that the school system is able TO pro-
vide these pupils with transportation to

might be feasible for crippled children,
he suggested. and requested DR.. Ballou
